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. Posted by Tikay10
lol "Eevryone wants you to succeed" yeah , as long as its not against them
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 Posted by FlashFlush
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!
just finished - low stakes cash - got carried away with new computer and went from 1-2 tabes to 6 at one point - don,t think i,m quite ready for that yet -anyway got money back but haven,t got the patience tonight
starting BR - £27 started today - 196 finished on -- 209
haven,t played any MTT,s since starting this challenge - might try that tommorow
Dont worry Rich ive got 14p left outta my £5 so cant afford a game at the moment but im keeping the faith rich and playing in the team games tonight and will hopefully cash and get back on track! im a proper GOONEY and never say die
A good week for me. Started with £0.00 Those very nice people at Sky gave me a fiver as it was my birthday...(thank you sky, much appreciated!) Won £15 coming 5th in the team games and it's been up a bit, down a bit since. Present total £20.70 Posted by bobcat52

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... Posted by RICHORFORD
CHANGED TO TOURNAMENTS TONIGHT FOR FIRST TIME IN AGES AND GOT A BIT OF A HAMMERING AFTER PLAYING BADLY , AND JUST MISTAKES AND A CPL OF BAD BTS TO THROW IN
In Response to Re: ORFORD'S MAY BANKROLL CHALLENGE- POST YOUR UPDATES HERE : MUST SAY I AM ENJOYING THE MUTI TABLING BABY CASH TABLES GREAT FUN PLAYING SO MANY HANDS LOL ! STARTING £50 + £47 BR STANDS @ £97 £3 MORE TO HIT MY BR CHALLENGE OF £100 ! P.S THIS CHALLENGE HAS GOT ME HOOKED ON CASH TABLES AINT NO GOING BACK NOW ! Posted by IRISHROVER
Rich, remember that tenner I borrowed you a couple of days ago to make you "look good"? Can I have it back now? You are not returning my PM's Posted by Cowgomoo
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 !!!
