Mega grind today and still behind schedule. I think I'm going to have to eat my words. I can do 1500 points a day easy but it's when I'm going to be away a few days and need to be doing 2000+, which is very difficult to do everyday.
Plus, it's messing my life up. Missed gym today grinding my backside off.
Horrible day for bad beats but I refuse to moan about them. Probs about £100 down for the day, no biggie.
I did have a prop bet included but it seems to have been removed. Do the modertaor's usually do this? Ok, so I think this is going to be slightly harder than I first thought. The reasons being: 1. Lack of traffic 2. I get major lag when playing more than 8 tables (any suggestions how I can fix this?) 3. I have nights out planned where I'm staying away at least 1 night. 4. I'm a fitness freak and gym everyday aswell as play football on Saturday's and train Tuesday's. Having said all that I will still accomplish my goal and would like to take wagers but obviously they can't be sorted out on here. Any suggestions? Update: DAY 2 - 2100 points Posted by Donttelmum
I also am having the problem with major lag im playing 6 tables of 50 nl and the lag is happeneing aduring peak times. I keep getting folded when im under the gun as my cards arnt coming out fast enough.

Yea, gives me mega life tilt. I have been timed out with AA and KK today. I don't mind so much when Im winning but when I'm losing well...........the wife knows to lay low lol.
problems your having with lag down to pc software, i bought brand new pc top noch specs etc and dont have this problem anymore unless im like 20 tabling but thats almost never
so..how much do you play a day? how much do you sleep? DO YOU EVEN SLEEP? Posted by percival09
I got 4 hours last night :-). All good but poor performance in the gym today. Off to bed now and footy all day tomorrow so it's going to be a quiet day on the poker front. Will grind tomorrow night though, I guess that sould really read tonight as it's 4.30am.
I'm down a few buys this week though so hopefully get some back over the weekend.

Yea, I can run 20+ on all other sites and have spoke to sky about it and they did warn me that it's primarily down to there programme rather than my pc.
i bought myself an i7 with a dedicated graphics card for £580 back in march,and can play 18 tables no problem on Sky,so i think that shows it can be done. my advice for anyone struggling would be to 1st get yourself the graphics card & see if that helps(mine cost me £50).if that doesn't work get yourself a new pc. gl dev

ty Dev. I actually bought a graphics card ages ago but couldn't install it and have now lost it.
I need to find a PC guy in the Newcastle area that can sort me out.

Well if he carries on at this rate he'll have well over 30k and a couple of grand to show for his efforts. Anyone who plays full time and disregards rakeback in their poker strategy is getting it wrong, rakeback helps diminish variance. You can have a break even month and easily make 2k rakeback on the site playing volume.

A cheaper option might be to just buy some more RAM and stick that in your existing PC first. Might be all you need.
Hi guys, Not sure if anyone reads this so have been abit lazy updating. We need a number of views section. I have been hard at it but I guess not as hard as I should have been. Down to footy and gym really. On the downside, I'm down about £250. However, I made priority club which I guess is a bonus. Hope your all running better than me! Posted by Donttelmum
They really do need a total view number section. Break even with rakeback isn't bad! Best of luck for the rest of the challenge.
