    Bit of a poor weekend really hardly managed to play. Did try a progressive system in dyms saturday night (win 5, win 10, win 20 - rinse repeat) but bubbled in first 20er and then lost another 5er. Found time to play only two last night and managed two out of two (losses that is lol). Upshot is im down so far.

    £133.79

    This thread is awsome, very best of Luck to Rich and every1 else in their challenge. The challenge that stood out to me the most was Bryan1960. With a starting Br of 0.40 pence, I think by far imo this will be the toughest, and have the greatest respect if he makes his target.
    I dont know whether any of you have ever seen Chris Fergusons $0 to $10,000 Br challenge, I havent posted the link as I didnt think it would be permitted on here. Its really interesting and a great watch/motivator.

    Good Luck all.

    Oh well
    Not a good start - down to £31.41
    2 hands did it for me.
    Had K K - raised 3BB pre flop - all called. It came 9 high flop all suited with 1 of my kings. Went all in to trim field and got 1 caller who had 9 3! Turn = 3, River = 9 to give him a FH.

    Second one - went all in after turn gave me Ace flush. Caller had Queen flush until river gave him a straight flush!

    Is there a Richard Orford jinx/curse!!!LOL! Was running well before joined the challenge.
    Hopefully the luck changes soon!

    Well friday i had not even £15 due to not playing enough but built up to £109 over the weekend

    Just seen this so i will start at £109 and if i put the hours in, i expect by end of the month i should be able to turn into £250 catch is i can only play cash up to £150 as i tend to be better at MTT, SNG just better bankroll management for me imo

    I have have just read that it took Chris Ferguson nine months to get to $100, and I am hoping to get to £100 in a month...  and the weird thing is I still think I can do it!

    + £74 for an afternoons grinding.......Let it slip towards the end.


    214 + 74 = current roll of £288 from £100

    More to come just having a min to watch Ireland slap us around on the cricket pitch, need to record so I know where I'm at!

    Current roll = £3372 (from initial roll of £3k)

    I managed to get it up to around 3.5k at the weekend before donking off over £500 on Sunday evening, but had a pretty good session just now ending up about £400 in profit to get back on track.

    I've cashed in the TKO winners freeroll which has given my bankroll a massive boost... more to follow!

    Started on nothing with an empty account. Just won £2.50 on the tko winners freeroll so i'm up and running! going to try and reach £25 by playing dym! a few weeks ago I managed to win 13 of these in a row before going bust by playing russian roulette, big mistake! So hopefully I can repeat this or even go a few better! Good luck people and keep up the good work!

    decided to start grinding today and stop being lazy. Lost a big pot on my very last hand which annoyed me for a good bit but still up for the session.

    +£419 for the day.
