£338 to busto? Or will I quit within days?

edited September 2020 in Poker Chat
I was fortunate enough to win the Megastack last night and normally when I have a little score I withdraw as I'm not a Sky cash game reg any more so there is no need to keep funds on here longer term.

However, I have a cash game schedule now that leaves me fresh and free in the evenings so for fun, I am going to splash around in most tournaments £2-£11 several nights per week and see if I can't spin it up a little.

Chances are I get fed up quickly and withdraw whatever it is I manage not to lose before tilt kicks in, or just lose it all by getting bored and throwing some £22's and other stuff in.

However, since my good e-friend Duesenberg was really bad with his challenge, it appeals to me to try and do better than his failed challenge.

I've been guilty of being a total bellend on here and at the tables in the past, so I'm not hoping for or expecting many well wishes but I do promise to try and be less of a ****, even when the insanity kicks in.

Over/under on the length of this is 5 sessions but if I can put some consistent cashes together, or even better grow the roll, look out for a coaching thread coming sometime in October.

    You and Chris with stacks were tough to play against last night
    Wp on the win

    I think it’s highly likely you’ll spin up the £338 to 4 figures in no time

    Really looking forward to following this but I fully expect your sanity to break long before your bankroll does - we both know short stack poker is abhorrent!

    Would love some streams or YouTube vids of this. Can we let him back off the leash please Sky? He's much better behaved these days!

    Great to hear you’re going to try to be less of a bellend. Should be achievable ;)

    Good luck in the MTTs.

    I didn't enjoy that bit very much. I was definitely the weak link at that point, or at least it felt that way to me. I'm not very comfortable playing short handed and shallow stacked against people who know what they're doing.

    I guess I'm going to have to get better at it if this is going to last more than a few sessions :)

    I won't be making any videos I'm afraid, even if were allowed again.

    My channel is for my other stuff but once I have a decent looking graph I might consider joining you live on your Monday night **** slinging show.

    Should be. Won't be.

    I'll always be a troll. It's too much fun and those who take it too seriously will always be offended by me as I cross a lot of lines :neutral:

    Epic brag by the way, there aren't many players who would go to the extent of starting a whole challenge thread just to brag about winning one of your so called 'donkaments'.

    On the basis that I have yet to see your patience with tournaments on Sky last more than about an hour while you contribute (I use the term loosely) to @Duesenberg's stream, I fully expect this challenge to be over by, shall we say, 8 pm this evening?

    Nice win btw. ;)

    Good luck with this Regi.... If you succeed I'm hoping you will be Dues guest No3......

    Hope you fail.

    Good luck with this, I wonder if you update this challenge more than @Duesenberg updated his! I have faith.

    Who knows. I have form in starting these things and then them ending before they ever really got going.

    Would you like some chips to go with your salt sir?

    That is still an outsider as I don't fancy being streamed in quarter stream high definition but I'll still be there weekly 'contributing' in a way that @Enut seemingly enjoys so much :)

    Amusing thread. Congratulations on the win and good luck spinning it up.

    Apologies if I offended, was meant in a lighthearted way but sometimes my attempts at humour don't work as intended.

    Good luck with the challenge.

    It's all good sir. I know all about people not reading context on the internet :)

    In for something like £49 tonight and out for something like £57.

    Got chips in pretty much everything but couldn't convert. Deepest run was an FT bubble in an £11BH.

    Four and a half hours for £8 profit. Not exactly a stellar return on my time but I enjoyed it at least some of the time.

    Won't be playing anything less than £5.50's tomorrow (if I play) and probably won't play more than three nights per week because doing that every night would do my nut in.

    Sunday's, Monday's and maybe one other night might be my limit going forward.

    This thread is unlikely to be updated daily :)

    In for £80 tonight, out for a shade under £210.

    Didn't play many tournaments but had a run in the main and finished third in the Megastack again.

    That might be it until Sunday now.

    Bankroll is on £550.

    Best part of the evening was my hero @Duesenberg making about 25 grand in subs.

    I watched your exit hand whilst the bidding war to be top 'gift sub beast' on @Duesenberg's stream was reaching its conclusion. A bit unlucky there when you flopped ahead and then villain hit is straight. Win that flip and you would have had a good stack to take to the final table.

    A good profitable evening though, nicely done.
