sod's law mate.
at least you got the thought you did nothing wrong,and would prob do the same again. just stings a bit losing that amount though.
Why do you have such a big BR for £3 and £5 games? I think it would be good to cash a load of it out - Maybe back to the £600 level or something and use that money soley as a treat. Maybe a small holiday or something. Would really make you feel good about what your doing.

It just depends what works for the individual. I'm comfortable playing the £5s with a £100 br, whereas others won't feel comfortable playing them with a £5000 br. If it works for you, it works for you. Although +1 to the holiday idea! Get some sun on your skin for Christmas as opposed to that Exmouth Sun sir

that's a fair point FlashFlush. the reason i have such a big b/roll for the £3 & £5 games is quite simple.... i've earnt it. i've put in the hours & hours of practise,learnt how to play 15 tables and more importantly learnt how to beat these DYM games. i did withdraw £500 2 months ago,and gave it to my nephew,for his future 18th birthday,so my b/roll after that was just over £500. that made me feel quite good.
as to holidays.they don't really interest me tbh.as i'm single,what would be the point. xmas is coming and i usually have around 2 weeks off work then.
i'll continue grinding and hopefully building my b/roll,and when i feel the time is right,i might eventually drop the £3's and move up to the £11's to go with the £5's. well that's the long term goal anyway.

hi Pat, not sure about the Exmouth sun mate,plenty of rain that's for sure. lol
Obviously it's up to you, if you don't "need" the money then yeah keep grinding up the levles. Just for me personally I rely on poker winnings as income, so I regularly cash money out. Even if it's to buy something small or whatever, it's just a nice feeling cashing that much out and knowing the hard work has paid for stuff. I have a 2nd bank account where once my main account is high enough I don't need to worry about bills etc then I cash it out into there, from that I can then take the family on holiday or buy a new car etc etc. Everyone is different as we know and all get a pleasure from different things... I'm just a bit worried you may get a bit stale, especially during bad spells and think is this 15 tabling really worth it, if all your seeing is your Sky BR going up but not your personal 1.
Well the holiday was just an example. Obviously it's up to you, if you don't "need" the money then yeah keep grinding up the levles.

hi again FlashFlush, ty for the post. yes for me poker is purely a hobby,atm.but thankfully a winning one. i wouldn't be playing if i was losing money,that's for sure. obviously it is different for you,as you have said,using poker winnings as income. must be quite tough when you get on a downswing i'd imagine. as for myself,i have withdrawn £1300 out from my sky poker account in total.with that money i bought myself a 2nd 27" monitor and an i7 pc earlier this year,plus a few other odds n ends. so it hasn't all been just about building my b/roll. the fact is i actually enjoy the challenge of building my roll,and trying to work my way up through the levels,and continually test myself, and as long as that continues,i'll carry on grinding,day after day. as to the 15 tabling,i now find it as easy as someone else that might be playing 6 tables,for example. i have played 18 on a number of occasions and even had 21 going on one session. in fact i had cut it down to 9 whilst in the process of moving up to the £5's,but got a bit bored,so am now playing more like 12 again, most sessions. as to the possibility of me getting stale.it's not going to happen. as long as my body allows me to keep on playing and my mind stays strong,i'll carry on.

nice short session. changed thread title to spice things up and give me motivation. i think 5k is easily achievable,just going to have to be patient. my plan is to carry on playing £3's & £5's until i reach 2k then will consider moving up to the £11's.
