Ok all- having listened to your comments and feedback regarding the format for June's challenge I have made a decision! Today is the last day of the May challenge- after midnight tonight it is over and hopefully Machka (legend) will produce a final table for May based on just the people who actually played in the end (not the ones who stated a figure and then didn't play-which actually were very few), and maybe in some kind of ROI order..hint, hint ! As from tomorrow June 1st- the mission is simple. At some stage during the month. You must double up. That's it. So, the amount is up to you- it could be a tenner, it could be £1000. And it doesn't matter how you do it. State your starting amount and then just keep us updated as to how far you are from doubling it. The really good players should probably aim for a larger amount as Dohhhhhh for example found it a bit of a stroll to double up £100. Make it a figure that's affordable for you, but also a challenge. Something you think you might just be able to manage at a push in 30 days, but which maybe you've never done before. And if you hit 100% fairly quickly, then great- keep going and let us know how you're doing. As for myself- I think I'll start with £100 again and hope for the best. PS- Machka- my SECOND BR challenge is down to £71.51. Yes minus 29% ROI. Grrr... Posted by RICHORFORD
In a needless attempt to find a gimmick, you have issued exactly the same challenge as last month. I'll start with whatever I end on tonight. I'm getting to £100 in June fashaw!
Won 8 outta 9 sng but lost some of my £11 buy in on a b/h so up £14.50 since last report. BR ended on £71.75 so £28.25 dwn Very well done to all who hit targets and to the sharks who basically kicked the c**p outta theirs and commiserations to the rest of us.
Final update of May, played the donky hunter, srry bounty hunter at 8 no cash or bouties The £22 ds no cash there, but had a more productive evening on cash
so thats it me br stands at £215 so that makes me £105 down..at least its not as much as the previous 2 months i,ve had more winning days this month too so hopefully the corners turning so to next month think i,ll stick £100 down rich and try to double that gl all
i started with £20 but bust quickly as i cant avoid vegas or sky bet, did well on the tema events, but again blew it, won mvp but again blew it, wonr freroll to £22 bounty hunter on a thursday took 2 head for £15 and have built that up to £110.42 if i had the willpowerto stick to poker and not chase my losses on vegas or skybet id be neaere £500 but dont think ill ever change my ways have enjoyed reading all your efforts tho and well done to most of you
Ok, calling it a day with 30 minutes to go so the BR challenge isn't on my mind.
Final Score:
Main BR Challenge: Start 500, Target 1500, Final 1609.82 Happy with that.
TVTart Challenge: Start 200, Target 500, Final 224.97 In the end hardly got a chance to play on the nights for this, I think I had three hours combined. Darn my fluctuating social life.
Good luck to everyone for next month, I will consider what challenge I will do and post it before beginning.
Have about £2.50 of the £10 I started with 4 months ago - be good to double up twice to get back to a tenner - last of the big rollers. Although can't see me playing too much when the footies on.
Edit:- I would like to ammend my end balance. £1.10 has materialised from somewhere since I went to bed. End balance £30.98. And all from a low of 40p.
Oh well, br ends up at £41.54 All that play and not much to show for it. At least I'm up (a bit). Never had such an up and down month. Probably played too much trying to do the challenge.
Thanks for the challenge Rich - learnt a few things which hopefully I can put into practice so that I can eventually move up levels.
I'll join in with the June challenge as it is essentially the same thing, but I won't bust a gut this time.
Had fun though, which is mostly why I play although I'd like to improve!
Very well done to all who beat their targets and commiserations to those who didn't.
In Response to Re: ORFORD'S MAY BANKROLL CHALLENGE- POST YOUR UPDATES HERE : good cashing, in baby stakes still . start 50 up 176 br stands @ 226 1 last report and summary tonight @ 12 o clock Posted by IRISHROVER
Any pointers to help with the June challenge would be gratefully accepted!
I have £107 currently in my account willing to try and double that up (withdrew a little to clear depts so thats why my sharkscope will suggest i have more) Rekon i could do it in a couple of big MTT the main problem is keeping the loses from failing to cash in other MTT in tack so will use s&g's to try and keep that to a minimum.
So my target for 30 days of poker is £214.
On a quick question, am i allowed to withdraw money during this challenge. Say for example i make a couple of loses go down to £89 and then win a MTT taking me to £189 i would usually withdraw £80 (trying to clear overdraft) would that £80 still count.
Ill have a go with £100, no specific targets, the only aim is to have a higher ROI than any other player on this thread who's starting with £100 or less! Posted by DOHHHHHHH
Well, after falling asleep watching the afternoon screening of Jeremy Kyle yesterday, I failed to muster that one last effort I needed to overtake Jaegerbomb, the weekend took alot out of me.
So a starting roll of £100, has ended up at £1474.81 , giving me an R.O.I of.....well I dunno I'll leave that for Machka.
As for next months challenge, I'm just gonna try and do better than this month.....so £1474.81, doubled, lets say 3k.
This is realllllllly optimistic, Ive played more this month than ever before (just under 5k points), highest before was 3k....
If it aint broke, y change it? (did start to break this weekend though)
Final figure from my starting roll of £100 - £834 Fell short of my £1000 target but considering I didnt start till the 25th i'll take it! Posted by SHANXTA
R u serious? what levels do u normally play? the same as mastercash? £734 week at 30nl???

May Challenge ended on a rather feeble up and down note
Start - £38.87 end £72.00 + £33.13
Still that provides a neater starting figure for June - looking to turn it into the giddy heights of £144.00
Could be crash or burn time.
Not very good at all. Had a few bad days and have ended up skint.
Ended month on lol wait for it £0.01p!!!!!!!
Have to reload for Junes challenge.
