Ah brilliant idea Rich. I have been trying to beat the 4p tables for months with out success now. I say bring on the higher stakes players, my bankroll could do with a boost. ;-)

Lol Irish. Listen mate- that headline was twice the length originally. I cut it down out of respect for you!
As soon as we get the format sorted for the next 4 weeks it will just become 'Orford's June BR Challenge' or something...
Oh, and I gave your thread a plug on last night's live show, so shut it!

Lol Patching. I'm really warming to this idea now.
Everyone piling on to the 2p/4p tables. Could be absolute carnage!
And I think it would be a real test for the big players- something a little different for them- they'd have to make some serious adjustments to their game in order to crush the level I would imagine.
In Response to Re: ORFORD'S MAY BANKROLL CHALLENGE TO BECOME A JUNE BANKROLL CHALLENGE! PLEASE READ AMENDED OPENING POST AND ADD YOUR SUGGESTIONS HERE PLEASE! : Fair enough JJ- looks like I might be on to something though with everyone starting off with the same amount on the 2p/4p tables. What would be your suggestion as to starting amount plus the figures you need to hit to go up to the next levels? Maybe someone can post a little chart that we can all debate... e.g.- Level 1 Bankroll Table £20 2p/4p Level 2 Bankroll Table £160 4p/8p etc, etc We want to be able to price everyone in- so I don't think we want to start with more than £20. What's everyone reckon? Posted by RICHORFORD
As said previously - concept is good but surely by only starting with £20 will only encourage bad habits within playing out of your BR. This concept imo should encourage people to play learn the purpose of good BR management that will hold them in goo stead in the future. I understand tat this is a bit of fun in a way but at the same time by only playing with £20 - that is 5BI's and anyone who plays a certain level of cash with just 5BI's is mad and we should not encourage people to do that. I know I'm coming accross quite serious now but I do believe if this is to be done correctly then good BR management should be used and shown otherwise there will be more failures than successes.
In Response to Re: ORFORD'S MAY BANKROLL CHALLENGE TO BECOME A JUNE BANKROLL CHALLENGE! PLEASE READ AMENDED OPENING POST AND ADD YOUR SUGGESTIONS HERE PLEASE! : Hi Dyl- yeah agree about the starting br. But the problem is not everyone can afford to start off with £50.... Hmmm, suggestions? Posted by RICHORFORD
Would it be possible for Sky to put in 1p/2p tables?
As my May BR Challenge is/was such a chuffin disaster (I am yet to break even ffs)....i might as well chuck another 10/20/million quid into the fire!!!!!!

Good points Dyl- so what do you suggest then? That everyone starts with £50? £80?
Can we not do level 1 with a short roll just to make sure everyone can start the same, but from then on, every level above that is properly done?
In an ideal world, we'd all start with a tenner and play the 0.25/0.5p tables, but they don't exist!

How about £20 - but 2 lives? Like an optional 'rebuy' - Just like what you've been doing all this month! lol
Means everyone starts even, but if u have a bad night, u can try again tomorra!
Sorry about sending in that email criticising someone's play last night, I'd had a few, and he knocked out my tip to win it ! Put you in an awkward spot tho reading it out live haha! Wont do it again!!

TBH it is impossible to do this correctly because you want this challenge to be accesible to all, as it should be, the only thing I am trying to point out that sometimes shortcuts get you into trouble an imo beginning with £20 will just get the wrong mentality within players. More people will fail than suceed imo due to the fact it only takes 1 cooler to lose a BI and then if your running bad a few more will go and then you begin to chase which inevitably leads to failure. OFC some will run like gods, naming no names - Ozzie08 , and double up quickly. In an ideal world when doing these challenges you should only play with 5% of your BR on the table but that would mean a starting BR of £80 which would ofc discriminate against some players. As I say there is no possibility to please everyone in this and I seriously don't want people think that I am negative about this concept because I am not but I believe some players may run good in this and pick up bad BR management that is all. Gl in this challenge all that try in it and I hope everyone suceeds

So you may as well start with £40 then m8. But surely the concept of being able to rebuy this is not good BR management - and you should know being a BR nit these days
As for the comment on the thread last night, you just wrote down what a lot of people though, nothing wrong with that m8
In Response to Re: ORFORD'S MAY BANKROLL CHALLENGE TO BECOME A JUNE BANKROLL CHALLENGE! PLEASE READ AMENDED OPENING POST AND ADD YOUR SUGGESTIONS HERE PLEASE! : +1 I hate agreeing with JJ but a tenner is not enough imo - That would just be bad BR management - I think the concept is good but I do think that beginning with £50 is more realistic. With your track record in these things Rich I think the more BR there is to begin with the more chance you will have to survive - surely £10 will only last you an hour max he he Posted by dylan12
WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS HAVING A DIG AT ME DYLAN?????? Is it cos I is English?......:)
how about 3 levels of players??? ie low level £20 br. medium level £50 high level£100+ all have 2 start at 2p4p level tho maybe tv tables?? played 2 more hu 2day lost 1 won 1

This is agood idea to have levels but can't imagine some of the top players wanting to waste time on 2/4 tbls, i might be wrong but i'll be in whatever.
When the Total Player was on, we had to play for certain hours on certain days. How about we all do the 2p/4p challenge but only for 1 or 2 hours at a time? We post on forum when we're sitting at a table and when we are leaving. That way, players can still play their usual games as well as the fun of the br challenge. That way, we all have 2 challenges - Rich's bankroll challenge and our normal games.
It doesn't matter how much you start with- you pick a level and you're not allowed to leave it until you've got your bankroll up to 2000 BBs of the next level.
eg. start with £80
you decide to go on the 2p/4p tables but can only move up to 4p/8p when you have £160
or
if you cant afford £80 you can start with say, £10 and still go on the 2p/4p tables- it just makes it much harder, that's all- because you STILL have to get to £160 to finish the challenge.
Alterntiavely you might hae for example £80 but opt instead to play short-rolled on the 4p/8p tables- but now you have to get your roll up to £200 to win the challenge, because that's how muhc you need to qualify for the 5p/10p tables.
So, we're still encouraging good bankroll management becuase you should really try and play wiht the correct starting bankroll for the level i.e 2000 Big Blinds (and you're 'punished'' for not doing so because the challenge is so much more difficult) BUT- we're not excluding anyone- as all can join in with whatever they can afford.
And of course- we're still maintaining good bankroll discipline by not coming off our level until we have the proper roll to move up.
Oh and the big money players simply choose a higher level eg £1.50/£3 to get to £2/£4
So.... ONE MONTH- ONE LEVEL
And then it's just a race- as soon as you've done it- you chirp about it on the thread and then you're done!
We'll have a list of those who've done it and a list of those who haven't yet to keep us motivated.
Lose the first one- reload and try again. Keep going until you've completed the challenge, no matter what the level or how many times you attempt it.

Make sense? What do we all think?
Incidentally, I'm currently playing on Table Legnica 15p/30p if you fancy dropping in for a chinwag or game.
Up £6.20 on the session at the mo, taking my total on my second BR challenge to £120.
So 20% ROI!*
