Don't get lazy!!!

This thread is to show the misfortune tilt and pure laziness will do to your bankroll!
I set myself a little bankroll challenge to turn £70 in £700 by the end of the week (monday to monday)
Well here is how my week has gone so far!!!

Monday played the 10p 20p tables ended with a bankroll of £147 (roughly)
Tuesday played same table and won 2 tornys and cashed in a few others bankroll up to £242
Wednesday scouted some players watched them play and then sat with them on the 50p £1 tables  bankroll £397
Thursday didnt do anything just sat at a table and got lucky a few times in the morning, then watched dohhhhhhh play for about an hour and then sat next to him bankroll £575
Friday (today) Believed i could just sit at a table and win no selection no revision bankroll £247.15

This hopefully will help some new players how not to be a winning poker player!! Fair enough im up but not once was it bad beat what put me down!! It was me playing a £4 raise with 7 5 off suit and the other player having pocket rockets!!!
Or hoping for miracle cards! Back to the books i think lol!

Dont get to big for your own boots i found that out today!
Atleast im still up but only have will monday 7pm to complete my challenge!!!

    batkin, the one thing id recommened, now increasing br ive always done slowly, mostly because i want to do it that way, and imrpove it quicker once i get up the levels so it may not be the best advice ever.

    However i always just pick the table with a seat. This just my game i try to adapt quickly, i found a NL8 table last night with 3 players i singled out as "lesser players" or "free money" players, i struggled simply because i had to play poker.

    Anyways ignore the above im rambling. Ive found since ive turned to cash i very rarley chase one draw (flsuh or straight) ill chase if i have both or have a pair back up, even if its not a good one. It seems from reading you lost a bit this way.

    Lol i dont only have two buyins. I just started with £70 to see if i could do it.
    But a valid point for new players dont play the stakes unless you can afford to buy in a considerable amount of times!!! I dunno how many tho .... about 15 atleast!!
