Amazing work Gary, a great result at the end to top off a great achievement. I'm not sure many others will achieve what you have, but if anybody was going to do it, we all knew you could.
In Response to Re: 1,000 Poker Points ----- /> £1,000 Can it be done? Latest balance £0.00 : We have a deal. BOOKED! I will arrange your "Big Freeroll" entry shortly. The £11 Tourney offer stands, but will be placed in abeyance until you give the nod. Posted by Tikay10
Looks like at least a £11 tourney entry is coming your way.
Personally I think you deserve entry to the Primo or something of similar status for an incredible achievement.
Dont think I've posted on here before but i'm a daily reader, bit dissapointed really will have to go back to reading dohhhhhs diary. Well done, fantastic achievement. Posted by shuv
Now you know how we all felt when you finished yours!

Incredible effort Gary.
Lots of plaudits for your discipline, patience, commitment, dedication etc.
Above all it else takes a lot of skill/talent to beat those micro stakes games with the rake you have to contend with.
Once you got up to £30 it felt like it was only a matter of when rather than if you'd complete it.
Have some ideas for future challenges that I'll post at a later date
In Response to Re: 1,000 Poker Points ----- /> £1,000 Can it be done? Latest balance £888.15 : Thanks Paul. I have no other challenges planned for now. I'm looking forward to a break from them when this one is completed. If I were starting this one now it would be much easier, I'd try to do it from zero money and zero points and enter the daily £500 Free Cash Freeroll every day to get things going. Back in January the hold 'em freerolls cost 25 points each to enter with a £50 prizepool, so I only had enough points for 40 attempts and was up against opponents taking rebuys and add-ons. The target still feels a long way off to me, I'm just ignoring it and just do my best in the games I enter tournament by tournament. I suppose somewhere in the back of my mind I'm aware I'm just one decent £5.75 or £11 Bounty Hunter bink away from the finish line but I try not to think about that. It'll come when it comes.

Thank-you so much to all of you who've posted messages here this afternoon, I'm overwhelmed by the response!
I'm mid-way through composing a long post with a load of stats, graphs, trivia, etc. I'm too tired to finish it now so I'll post it tomorrow.
Congratulations Gary!!!! Very well played!!!! Amazing!!!!!!!!!
Showes determination, patience and don't forget the skill to complete a challenge like that. I for sure would not manage... You are a true role model for a newbie poker players... My hat is off
Was following your challenge from the beginning with much interest (did't post before as I'm not to much of a posting person) and yesterday when you sat me down at a £5.50 HUSNG game I had, for a first time, mixed feeling wheter I want to win that game or not....
GG and looking forward to your next challenge (after a well deserved rest!!!)

Well done, fantastic achievement.
Shove all in with A4... shove all in with QJ. Min raise with AK.
Don't mean to be a downer but having bet sizing leaks is something to be looked at for the future.
Either way. Well done again.
the result was never in doubt but you completed it in style
well done Sir
Oh mi god will be upset
or maybe he thinks your success was due to taking his advice!
