I don't know where I am on this BR thingy any more - to scared to look - got stacked 6 times tonight - my AA lost to 10 3 on a 10 10 10 flop, then my JJ lost on a 3JQ flop to QQ, then I bluffed off a stack with 72 on a gut shot, then had AK aipf v 83 ffs bink comes the 8 on the turn!! Then I have 77 lose to Q9 - it's all in and he binks the 9 on the turn and just for good measure he hits another 9 on the river!! On a downer at the moment - nothing going right so as I say I can't be bothered to look at where my BR stands - I have other things on my mind. Just went through HH - one last one - my KK lost to J9 - Flop 873 both all in - Turn 10 ffs!! Good night lol
OK change of plan - bit fed up of dyms at the minute so have decided to try cash playin the 0.05/0.10 level. After 4 hours last night was up about 2 quid (lol) better couple of hours just now ended up about £35 up. Current BR = £172.75
i cant be bothered with this anymore, sick of the amount of people calling my 4-5 bets with 7-10 and flopping 2 pair. ive been called by hands like these for the last 2 days and im constantly losing with big pairs to people who call because their cards are suited and flopping straights, 2 pairs. ridiculous.
Glad to see the majority of people on here are having success with this BR challenge.
Ironically, the man who set it up- i.e. me- is having a nightmare!
I will save the grisly details for my next blog (coming soon) but suffice to say there may be a new- hastily assembled- BR challenge starting again for me soon! Yes, my ROI is hovering dangerously near 3 figures...with a minus in front of it.
Usual problem for me- it's not the poker play itself- it's the inability to stay at the correct level when I suffer a slight setback and thus compounding a small loss into a giant one by trying to claw back my losses in one heroic session on a ridiculously expensive table.
When will I learn?
Presumably never.
Another thing I'm learning the hard way is that cash is just not my bag right now. MTTs seem to be my forte these days as well as the good old reliable DYMs.
Might tactically switch to these two formats for the remainder of the month!
i wont be continuing the challenge and have posted on another site looking for staking deals to play my usual levels. (offers taken here too if anyone is interested).
sorry for being a pain but i am paying for a wedding so i need to do what is right to get back on track

sliped back to 62 ,
now its gone back up to 78 ,
had a little success in cash nlh and dym omaha
so br started 50
up 28 at present
so br now stands @ £78 !
After not playing yesterday things got off to an horrific start losing in 4 £2.25 DYM Omaha and a £2.30 Holdem BH MTT (no heads).
Evening was better though - 3 x £2.25 DYM (2/3) and managed to take down Irishrover's £2.20 Holdem 10 seater!
So down on day but coulda been worse.
BR now £23.10
Total profit is +£16.25
Small setback!
1 x £2.25 DYM (fail)
Then after waiting nearly half an hour for another to fill up and still just me in it I jumped into the £5.50 that was sitting with 4 registered.
1 x £5.50 DYM (cash)
BR now £25.35
Finally sorted out internet access, so I just now started. 2 £5 DYM played, both won so I'm up to £109. Will call that a day and get some kip.
hope to get some time tomorrow evening, but I have to get up at some ridiculous hour to get to the airport for a 6 am (local time) flight.
good luck all
