    This is a good idea. Give me something to aim for. Only play the small stakes in cash and dym. I'll have a go at doubling my bankroll to £70 by end of May. Gulp!

    Loving it walesboy. Yeah, my thoughts exactly- if you don't have something to aim for then it's easy to lose the will to carry on or start playing out of your comfort zone.

    Plus, if you're always depositing small amounts, eventually going bust and then re-depositing again...where's the sense of achievement?

    Gotta have a target! Good luck hitting 70. :)

    Good Luck with this Rich, & all who sail in her. This will be an EPIC thread, for real money, by real people.

    Ty mate- fired up for this now. Last year I attempted this mission on my own- this time round it looks like I've got serious backup!


    Can I interest you in setting a target yourself, sir?

    I'm gonna go Chris Fergusson on ya!  Now, let me think, he turned a dollar into ten thousand dollars in a year, so ten thousand divide by 12 is...  carry the two....  eigth hundred and thirty three dollars thirty three cents.  Hmmm...  I may have to re-think this...  Tell you what, I'll start with £1 and see if I can turn it into £100 in a month.  That's...  10,000% ROI...  I think.  I wouldn't put your house on it... 

    If anyone would like to help me with this epic challenge (,and I'm going to need all the help I can get,) please leave me some tips here.

    I'll join in the £100 ROI% DOHx7 challenge. Mtts and maybe a bit of cash for me. My negative varience must be due a change so watch out. My only target is to beat DOHx7 and Dylan ........ seemples :o)
    Posted by elsadog

    There's a good few of us now on the starting blocks with £100 Alan. 

    D'ohhh and Dylan will start as favourites at that level but the rest of us might be able to whip out one or two surprises... ;)

    Posted by DTWBANDIT
    Ah, I hate it when my computer goes on the blink, Mike. There's nothing more frustrating. Hope you get it fixed or sort out a replacement soon.

    What you aiming for during May with your £100?

    I'll try and turn £67.50 into £192.50, at around 285% ROI £67.50 gives me 30 buy-ins at £2.25 DYM level, I could have maybe gone for 20 at £45 but like the security of 30. If I run at 2-1 cash rate which is a tough target I'll make the £192.50 from 300 games, 300 games plus a few torunies gets me the £15 cash for points bonus which is also another aim. If however If I only run at 60% cash rate I'll still make £45 at 66.7% ROI which is also great as with the bonus I'll have built up 18 BI's for £3.30 level.
    Posted by Dudeskin8

    Lol Dude- this is brilliantly worked out and SO precise!  I've just gotta know- why are you aiming for £192.50? And not £200? Or even £190? LOL.

    Good luck mate!

    After much deliberation I have decided on this personal  Bankroll challenge. £25.00 on the 1st May to be turned into £100 by the end of May. The catch being for me is that I will try to achieve this through only low stakes cash games and on the Omaha tables! (DYM, SNG etc). As I do not venture onto either of these normally, this will definitely be a CHALLENGE!  Good luck all  :)   
    Posted by MAXALLY

    Good to have you on board, Alan. And £25 into £100 is no mean feat, especially when you're braving the Omaha tables.

    You've got your work cut out my friend. Best of luck!

    LOL- ah, Mr Total Player...we meet again.

    Knew you couldn't resist this challenge! I have no doubts that you'll canter through it though.

    Cheers Dan!
