well, br is now £71.36 £30 up on the month, but short of the target of £83 was there for overnight, but since then have lost every race or been out flopped,etc. AAv66, KKvJ9, etc. Lost £12 in 2 days of playing. Can't catch a cold, so stopping now until end of month to get my head together. Not sure if people are getting looser (if that is possible on 2p/4p!!) or I'm not playing well. Still has been fun, especially talking to those who know you are in the challenge or who are also doing it. Great atmosphere. Good luck to everyone. Hope you keep in profit Rich.

Thanks for your comments Walesboy and I will try not to get carried away.
I'm guessing this post is going to look pretty stupid if you scroll down to the bottom of the page when I'm posting about my disastrous session on the £1/£2 tables in two days' time!

If you REALLY want to show tikay how its done why not have a go at the £2.20 Take on Tikay game at 8.30 tonight:)
Not posted here for a while. Good to see you that you are in the black Richard, although you hint that you might have taken a bit of a hit. I have probably cheated. Whilst I started the month with £100, I topped it up with another £100, went down to £9, but currently stand at £91.50, something of a recovery after cashing in 8 successive DYMs. I also won a Swansea SPT seat worth £110 (cost £94), so I could argue that I am £1.50 ahead. Whatever, I will need to continue my current roll to get anywhere near the target of +£100.
Managed to get the balance back up to £213.80. I find setting a target slightly hinders my enjoyment of the game so I'm cutting out most MTT's where I perform worst and sticking with SNG/DYM's. Maybe a bit of cash on PTP nights for added value. ;-)
Had awful session yesturday getting a bit into profit then burned it off, ended up only 60p down but one of those frustrating ones. Much prefer the raise with KK get shoved on and snap off.
OK-a little like England in the World Cup today, I'm running out of time and options.
Day 23 of the challenge- I'm 27% up but need that to be 100% ideally by June 30th.
Tonight I'm going to play some cash on the 2p/4p tables fom 7pm until the Rich Pickings tournament at 8.30pm which is a fast-paced cheap rebuy tourney named in my honour. Cheap and fast, what can they driving at?
But based on my last result, I think this will be a good one for me.
After that- I will either retreat to the cash tables, go on a little series of DYMs or, depending on how early I go out the 8.30, enter another MTT.
Please come and rail/play. I'll be playing under my personal bankroll alias of 'ricorford'.
After the win for England last night I ended up getting wined and pokered up...wiiiiiiii you would think but oh no, that would be too easy!
I found my myself in the TOT & Rich Pickings whilst baraging 2 of the 10/20 tables...the result of course was that I went busto....I knew I shouldn't have played with a cold...ffs!!!!
I will be reloading tomorrow so by Sunday's match against the Germans I'll probably have to reload on Monday too ;o)
Well done to everyone last night...NOW GIVE ME MY CHIPS BACK!!!!

A cold? Affecting your online poker?
That is possibly the worst excuse I've ever heard, Irene!
And that's me for the night. All together since 6pm this evening- played 5 DYMs and cashed in all 5! Then came 13th out of 62 in the Rich Pickings MTT. Starting bankroll this evening- £127.30 Target for the evening- £150 Finishing bankroll for the evening- £149.70! 30p short but I ran out of time- I'm still in the Sky Poker office and have to head back home at some stage! But overall- well happy with my June challenge now. One week left and I'm 50% up! Feel a bit like the England team- terrible start, now starting to get into gear Until next time then- good luck everyone with your bankrolls over the next 7 days!!! Posted by RicOrford
Ha! Just updated my bankroll spreadset and realised I've fudged my figures. I didn't finish the other night with £149.70- I finished with £143.20.
Oh well, still in good shape and playing right now on the £5.50 DYMS.
I'm not going to let that absymal England exit affect me... ...much.
