Congrats on reaching your goal! Been a Jcarver fan since his 'eating cake' poker series some time ago. His twitch streams and MTT content is great to watch and learn from.
Feel like streaming on twitch is going to be huge for poker over the next few years and another guy worth checking out is PokerStaples who sells action in all the sunday majors then streams it with a 4 minute delay. Slightly less entertaining then Somerville but he talks through all he decisions extremely well. GL on the next $25k

5 out of 7 isn't bad. But it's not quite good enough, for that reason, I'm out. Or not out. or Whatever.
I dunno Chris, any suggestions?
I'm open to trying most things that aren't too difficult. As tough challenges are tough. right.
I can't do a GaryQQQ and turn nothing into Something.
Or a Ivan and turn something into alot.
Am ok at turning something into 'abit more' though.
Morn'n. If there are any 'regular' readers here you're probably as bored of reading about the $25k challenge as I am writing about it and trying to complete it. But it's DONE ! Finally. I've had frustrating periods of break even-ness on Sky this last couple of months, but I was lucky enough to win a seat in the £55 turbo BH last night and managed to play well throughout and then awfullllll HU to finish 2nd. Very disappointed, but the silver lining is it nudged me above $25k profit lifetime in sky formats that end in tournament http://gyazo.com/8ae415fca0b1d29c3338178783ff9aa6 Profit required at start of challenge = 2,077 Profit so far = $2,097 Required = Nowt ! Heres a graph of my progress throughout the challenge, it took 2 months and 2 days, and 877 games to complete. http://gyazo.com/3e1c66fdd74a355643cfe861c322e9f8 Looks like I donked some off HU after the MTT last night, forgot about that I've been watching alot of live poker streaming recently on Twitch. Most poker enthusiasts will probably already be aware of Jason Somerville and his 'run it up' series. They're really fun/easy to watch, and you can really get inside his head and pick up how he is thinking. It's massively benefitted me. Unlike books/strategy vids which are pretty heavy going at times, it's a really enjoyable way to learn. Google him and check his content out if you haven't already. Loads of his old shows on youtube, all free. I'm not too sure on 'grind plans' for the next week or so, my computer is right next to the bathroom, which is finally going to be ripped out and replaced over the weekend and probably well in to next week May just grind 2/3 tables downstairs on the laptop or something, or have a few days off altogether. I won a £150 free bet last week also, need to find a use for it before Sunday. I'm struggling!! Any tips??? I managed to fade Dons reccommendation for Scotland to win by 2 or more last night. Got out of jail free there. Good luck all playing today! Posted by DOHHHHHHH
Depends if you wanna make some decent money, if your happy making say say £100 well actually £99.54 (assuming you lose the stake) over 1.5 goals treble in the following three games looks solid
Chelsea v West brom City v Swansea Arsenal v United
Perosnally I'd make it a 6 timer and throw in
Watford v Derby Bristoly city v Preston MK Dons v Portvale
Hi Shuv, the nit instincts in me initially wanted to just stick it on something at evens and lock up £150 in cash, but I'd be losing so much value doing that so going to try and gamble for once.
Looking for something between 4/1 and 10/1, hopefully get lucky and punish the bookies properly
It only has to be placed this weekend btw, it can be for an event in the future such as the darts World C'ship, FA Cup etc etc....
Something longer term might be most fun as I'll get to sweat it for a few weeks/months rather than losing it 1 afternoon.

Cant do long term, does my head in, that trebble I Posted will annoy me as theres a 5.30 game in it, no patience, exactly why im so shoddy at poker, doubt i would last to the weekend, Captain Cat in the 6.25 @13/8 would be getting my money

Chelsea
Derby
Bristol C
Bury
All to win their respective leagues, is 50/1+ and if done each way should represent great value
or to make it lower variance id say a bristol city and derby double must be 7/1 plus and im probably going to back that myself as they have the squad depth and consistancy to at the very least give you a good sweat til the end of the season
Well played Dohhlad, was a pleasure to be the one to do the scope search which showed you had got there. Thinking back I should have been cruel and said you was a little short as I often get told that!

Suggestions..... Take me as a challenge and get me the same results as you. Br £50 Challenge level NAILS. cash a wsop event in vegas. Challenge level HARD but ACHIEVABLE. win sky jackpot any positions. Challenge level 100% WILL HAPPEN ONE DAY be in the top ten of slipwaters leaderboard challenge 2015. challenge level DIFFICULT Posted by Chris_Mc
@Jordz, I've no real interest in league 2, (at least not until Donny end up playing therre next season) but I really like the other 3. That's looking the favourite bet so far.
@Chris, of those 4 options, trying to improve you as a player is by far the easiest, I'd even go as far as to say it's the only 1 that would even be possible for me to do.
It would still be pretty unlikely though, my past attempts at (unofficial) coaching/helping others out haven't gone well. (See Don)
A jackpot score could be possible, but it would have to be a Tuesday, and I'd only get around 25/30 shots at it a year. So it's a pretty tough ask and very much out of my control. Would need to run insane etc.
