1 tabling NL4 will take you like 8 weeks to get to £120. I have a blog where I am trying to turn £50 into £5k and I'm playing about 10x the volume you are planning to play, and I dont expect I'll be finished before end of April. A noble challenge, but I think it will be futile and incredibly boring for you. Consider playing headups sit and go's instead, where the rake will be less punishing on you, and you will see more uniform returns on your time. Posted by CoxyLboro

Thats fine Liam, drop me an email through the website whenever your ready!
With your attitude and self discipline and I suppose patience I really hope it comes together for you.
I've also started a little challenge for myself so reading other peoples is inspiring and comforting.
Dont know who the bloke is but I watched Poker777 yesterday on the £3 table. I watched the table for no more than 20 mins. In that time he joined with £50 and had turned it into £460 before I had to leave. Its a different world but one im aiming for!
Thanks for your comments slaverfish. Good to know there is interest so I will keep posting. Just need a few good days and I am on my way Posted by Pavillion
good luck pavillion, you deffo have the patience & b/roll dicipline i think, which is so important. i,m sure that in a few weeks/months time, that b/roll of yours will look a whole lot better!
Main thing that you'll notice as the BR grows is the beats hurt less and less up till a point where they have zero effect on your mindset.
An example being when you get say to around £160-£180 (the amount needed to take shots at NL8 imo) losing one lot of £4 will be just a flesh wound and you should think, oh well just grind that back and go again, but losing £4 from £60 is MASSIVE and can put you on a real downer if you let it as it's such a big chunk of your roll.
Obviously the big advantage is to have a good start but due to sod's law that doesn't always happen lol, which is why it's paramount you have the qualities SLAVER mentioned in the first line of his post.
Back to 1 table NL4 to start till I get going in correct direction.
Only able to play for a few hrs today. Up and down ended small profit.
This grind is teaching me a few things.
1) Bankroll Management is much more critical than I thought and I still find it hard to resist my urge to play at 20p/40p but at these levels it stops me going broke. I still have my full bankroll.
2) Its essential you play at least 1 hour uninterrupted. It allows me time to get back if down early.
3) Dont bluff too much or chase. Just abc at these levels.
4) As like everyone else, I am not as good as I thought I was lol
5) Confirmed how much I enjoy this game - on to tomorrow.
No C4P bonus for Jan as I didnt start this till 23rd and have less than 500 pts but with the reduction in C4P on NL4 it will be very hard in Feb to reach 500. Plus theres the Play the Nation Fiver too which looks nigh on impossible to achieve at these levels..
Started about midday today on 2 tables NL4 - down about £4 early.
Flopped Q high flush and was facing an all in bet of £3 which I called. Other player had flopped 3 7's, so just had to avoid the board pairing or the 4th 7. Yes board paired on river.
Tried a £2.2 timed tourny that didnt work, went all in with my 33 and lost to a flush on river.
Doubled up on both tables early afternoon - going much better.
op used a excell sheet to record ur results. also mix in some sat there like 1.25 sats for the main event give one or two a try that if u got a day to play and move trought the sats levels.
