OK- how about "One month to go up one level?" 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? Posted by RICHORFORD
I think i better brush up on my algebra and venn diagrams lol
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! : Lol- Deuce. Good point. They won't know what's hit them! Will be fun though! Posted by RICHORFORD
Oi! some of us are only just starting out! I don't want to potentially lose the bankroll I've (painfully) managed to build up!
Then again I like a challenge. Bring it on! You won't belive some of the moves people do down here in the trenches!
On a personal note - after tonights cash in the Take on Tikay tournament I am for the first time up on my initial bankroll... by exactly 1p, I kid you not!

WD Machka, pleased for you m8 afta all the work you put in for this challenge and pmsl at VT. I lost a few 5.50 buy ins for mtt but won a few small sng and a couple £ at micro cash so WHOO HOO up £4.75 since last report and br now £57.25
I don't think that the concept of the May bankroll challenge should change that much. It promotes good bankroll management, and since the ROB is measured in % surely everyone is starting out on a level playing field?
Now for something completely different. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but because there are so many split pots there isn't as much variance in HiLo, the bankroll needed to play is smaller. I don't know, I have asked on the forum but I don't think anyone actually knows, but perhaps a 10% rule is appropriate? However, Sky would need to sort out the rakeon the HiLo tables for this to work.
Haven,t posted for a while but my original BR of £27 ended up going bust and my new challenge from £100 is up to to £153, so till a profit on the month after plenty of ups and downs, but will start again on 1st June with £100 and have a real go at it
Tok a BIGGGGGG hit playing only 15/30p tonight, talking in the region of £200 - 7+ buy ins! Tilt withdrawn down to a round figure, will update exactly where I m tomorrow, but not looking forward to it. First run bad in ages!!! NO MORE PLEASE !! Posted by DOHHHHHHH
I know this feeling 2nite jj, mastercash was certainly not kind to the both of us

I saw you on tele on mastercash for the first hour before i went out and you were looking good
Dindn,t you take down a cpl of big pots early on - i think it was a str8 and trip j,s or FH
After an appalling start , i managed to claw back my BR. Doubt i will be playing much in the next few days, as i'm off to Spain, so my feeble attempt to reach £250 has finished.
Started with £100 finished with £182, up £82.
I relaxing few weeks away from poker will give me a chance to do some reading up, come back refreshed.
Well done to Machka, for keeping everyone updated with the excellent table.
Morning after the night before, done a few calculations and the current bankrolll stands at....
£1548.64 - £165.75 = £1382.89 !!!!
What a horrible few hours, I don't believe in 'variance' and losing streaks, sometimes u get lucky sometimes you don't if you are losing the flips, your opponents draws are hitting, and even your sets are getting outdrawn by over pairs - theres always another way to take down a pot!!!
So I'm not going to showdown today guys - If you sit with me, be prepared to put the lot in or fold! lol
Only 3 days to go Im gonna have to play 2 days in a row for the first time in ages.

Great Job Machka with the tables makes it so much easier for us all to see how our BR challenge is going N1 m8
If anyone didn't announce a target and wants me to plug one into the table let me know.
