Also Dev, I really don't think it will take as long as people are saying.
Say you were playing 10 tables of £5s which sounds more than do-able from your previous exploits that means you're playing roughly 20 per games per hour, so earning 100 points per hour.
From what I've seen you can put some sick volume in so I'd say at the rate above, it'd be fairly easy for you to get priority every single month, so that's £280 per month, £310 per month once you've been there for 3 months, and that's based on 10k points.
To get 10k points you'll be playing 2000 games per month, so 'investing' £11,000 so even if you had a 1% ROI, you'd be making £110 per month. I'm sure you could beat a 1% ROI but even with them numbers that gives you £400+ profit per month.
In Response to Re: £500 to £5000...now that's a DYM challenge??? : hi mate, thanks for posting again. do you honestly think it could take me years to get 5k? also,why would you suggest me playing the £11's when i'm only just starting to 'get to grips' with the £5's? my plan would be to move up a level once i get the 100 buy-ins,so i'd hope to be playing or at least trying the £11's when up to 1k. i've honestly no idea how long it might take or if i would ever be good enough to get to the higher levels,but i see no reason why not,as let's be honest we are not talking 'rocket science' here. how about this as a compromise...£500 to £2500 with a view to review after that? dev Posted by devonfish5
hi dev,
sorry, didn't mean to come across so -ve.
just that grinding another £xk seems more like business as usual and not a "challenge"
when you first started your last challenge i'm sure it seemed more exciting than that.
hence my suggestion of playing £11 dyms
i know u know i know u know etc etc that that is not a level you have cracked yet, and you were hit by terrible variance when you did try moving up last time.
which is why it would be a sick challenge for you to attempt.
but it is really just a concept
but my suggestion would be for you to try something uncomfortable but short, than comfortable but long
i mean - we all know you can grind until blood comes out of your eyes
defo go for it dev and hog the pages as much as you did it was a great read and great to keep up with the grind. i prefer reading real people doing real great acheivements like you and wacko and lambert and garyqqq it lets everyone know if they knuckle down they can get results and wins and they can read to see everyone goes through the same ups and downs but if they stick to it they will too reach any target they set in time
Hi Dev, glad to see you're going to be doing another challenge. Will it just be DYM's or will you be doing a bit of everything. I remember you playing timed tournies before, will you be playing those too.
Best of luck in whatever you decide mate. Have fun.

hi Paul, what you say pretty much confirms my thoughts. if i can make priority and even with a minimum ROI,i was thinking it would get me around the £400 a month mark. i am leaning towards 'going for it' atm,but if i do then i have decided i won't be posting each day,as i did on my last challenge,but will maybe post results either weekly or possibly even monthly. anyway,will just see how things go 'as and when' thanks again for your thoughts...appreciated. dev

hi buddy, i'm sorry too if my reply seemed a little negitive. i'm getting the feeling that what i am thinking of doing is not being perceived as 'a challenge' which i am finding hard to deal with tbh. if i was to carry on 'grinding'then why would anyone be interested in this,of course they wouldn't,and it would then maybe come across as a kind of 'brag' post,wouldn't it? but as i am giving specific figures here,which less face it are on the 'big' side,by that i mean i am attempting to increase my b/roll 10 fold,which isn't exactly a bad thing imo,or exactly 'easy' either. ok,so let's not call this 'a challenge' then and simply call it 'just another grind' if we are all happy with that?...then i'm happy too. as for the £11's.... yes,i could go down that route i guess. i'm sure it would be exciting and also frustrating too at times for me,but do i really want that? isn't this all about 1 thing and 1 thing only...trying to reach £5,000? but why risk it playing the £11's when 'my way' is almost 100% certain to succeed....i think!!! anyway... i thing is certain..."i can't please all of the people all of the time" so i'll give up trying.

hi mate,
ty buddy.the plan atm is just DYM but i guess there is no reason why i shouldn't play the odd 'tournie' here & there.maybe on Sunday evenings i'll have a night off from dym and see what tournies catch my good eye. only played a few 'timed tournies' but made a profit from them. don't know if it would be possible to make a great return from them,but i guess like everything else...it's all beatable.i just find DYM suits my game the best so i've obviously stuck with them. i did play a little nl4 cash last Friday & Saturday..6 tables, just for a change...think i ended up losing £0.03 lol. good point you make at the end...'have fun'...always enjoy it mate..good days & bad...they go together hand in hand. best wishes (* *) ^ dev
Firstly dont be a wally ahah, did you think people would have a go at your or say you were copying me by doing a similar challenge?:P I loved your last thread, I didnt post much as I generally just read on the forum but it really was great, Id be quite happy to have your diary on the front page every morning.
With regards to the challenge. I am in no position to offer advice, I cant play DYM's, have tried in the past and tbh they kinda bore me, but if its your thing then go for it. Just dont want you to find your bored after months of grinding them and lose interest. It was always good to read your posts and diary, think everyone knows your a great bloke. I say go for it. Or maybe £500 to £2500 who knows. End of the day itss your choice and it depends how motivated you are to play them.

thank you Wacko, very nice words. i might just change it and play a few tournaments and get it that way lol....you are making it look 'as easy as pie'...or is it pye?i never know. congratulations ,it's just so impressive.long may it continue for you. yes,i could find myself getting bored i guess and making it £2,500 makes sense,but once i get to that figure i'll only have a little rest...get bored again and probably start another one up anyway lol, so i might just as well keep it where it is now. best wishes Wacko,i'll follow your challenge with interest.gl (* *) ^ dev
peepz need to stop w/ the nit picking. Challenge/grind/diary. w.e.
Go for it. I'm sure you'll get a lot of people who will be interested in your progress, and who doesn't wanna make £5k?
It's almost a challenge of your ability to play for such a long period of time, and remaining focused, rather than your ability to do it. I think we all know you can do this, but it could take 92 years.
Good to hear from you.Best of luck with whatever you try, I am sure you will get the result your looking for.I for one missed your thread it was always a nice read.
just go for it -) start at £11's make it a bit more intresting than Dev grinds DYM's _) again ! good luck w/e u decide Posted by rancid
hi Rancid, ty m8, i'll only be playing the £11's with 100 buy-ins behind me,and even then with great caution.... i'm still getting over the last time. lol if you can come up with a better title and i like it...i'll use it.

so
i'm sorry too if my reply seemed a little negitive.
i'm getting the feeling that what i am thinking of doing is not being perceived as 'a challenge' which i am finding hard to deal with tbh.
if i was to carry on 'grinding'then why would anyone be interested in this,of course they wouldn't,and it would then maybe come across as a kind of 'brag' post,wouldn't it?
but as i am giving specific figures here,which less face it are on the 'big' side,by that i mean i am attempting to increase my b/roll 10 fold,which isn't exactly a bad thing imo,or exactly 'easy' either.
ok,so let's not call this 'a challenge' then and simply call it 'just another grind'
if we are all happy with that?...then i'm happy too.
as for the £11's....
yes,i could go down that route i guess.
i'm sure it would be exciting and also frustrating too at times for me,but do i really want that?
isn't this all about 1 thing and 1 thing only...trying to reach £5,000?
but why risk it playing the £11's when 'my way' is almost 100% certain to succeed....i think!!!
anyway...
i thing is certain..."i can't please all of the people all of the time" so i'll give up trying.

because it really isn't like that.i think i am the sort of guy that simply 'get's bored' with the usual day in day out kind of 'grind' stuff ...believe it or not,unless...i have a reason to 'grind'...such as this would give me.
i get lazy without these kind of targets i set myself and i need them to keep on pushing myself forwards.

i did play a little nl4 cash last Friday & Saturday..6 tables, just for a change...think i ended up losing £0.03 lol.
