    In Response to Re: ORFORD'S MAY BANKROLL CHALLENGE- POST YOUR UPDATES HERE : Wow - character is what people show - or not - in adversity, when things go wrong, & it's uphill, with the wind & rain in their face. That is great stuff Rich, you have real backbone, & I'm incredibly proud of you. Keep calm, & keep it going. Everyone wants you to succeed.

    look forward to nxt update

    fairplay to GREGHOGG - not easy coming on to post when uve gone bust - think i,d be to peed off to

    PS - could you not persuade the smooth talking Mr Giddins to take part in this Rich or is he worried about the taxman seeing his bankroll

    well 4p/8p max sit down is £8 (unless ur on the special £10 sitdown table). Eeveryone says different on the amount of pullups you have. I think it all depends on your style, if you are tight and dont fish much then 15 buyins is probably enough, if you are very aggro, and are regually going all in on draws and bluffs etc then I would advise to have about 30-40 pullups as the swings are much greater. It also depends on how many tables you are playing as you obviously have a much larger amount of money on the tables at once

    This is where I'm going wrong flush...my br is too small to take my swings...lol

    Had a dreadful, floppin awful weekend playing one eyed at the tables and lost £23.

    Been avoiding playing since then...Been railing the Mighty Knights this week, though I did win £2.00 towards the team coffers on event one i've been pant's since then!!! No patience this week, think there's a full moon coming or something...

    Decided to play in the forum sng and though I had exceleent fun I only cashed once in 3rd @£4.00 (+6 poker points ovb.) so pretty much broke even apart from the rakes on that!

    BR now £29.00

    Onwards and Upwards

    Approaching the halfway point of the month and I'm now only 88% down!

    Loving my life!

    Glad to see most players are making tidy profits.

    And as for those on a bit of a downer, keep the faith! :)

    OK- £4 down on a 2p/4p table whilst going over my script for tonight's show.

    Have finished the session with £2.34

    Overall bankroll now- £10.59

    Minor setback. Onwards and upwards...

    Another £150 added to the Clio BR.

    BR up to £1,703.

    Only £297 to go.

    Off to the York races for a boozy weekend though so won't be back on till Monday.

    I'll be very disappointed now if I don't hit the 2k mark before the end of May.

    Ozzie got me again last night!!! I was moaning about him not re-loading on a cash table....then I doubled him the very next hand! haha - shut up dohh.

    As always, when he went to bed, I started to win.

    634.67 + 365.30 = £999.97 - krazy number!

    I actually found Rich doing well at a 100nl cash table, about 15 mins after he left, a guy sat in his seat. I found aces and got it all in for £200 on a board of 3 5 8 J.

    I had pocket aces, the guy in Orfords seat had pocket eightss. Guess the river? - Big fat ace! haha U picked a great time to leave Rich !!!

    GL all, DOHH
