Like others have said I don't really understand this challenge, if you were making money at 100nl and 200nl then why on earth would you give that up to go and play £2 dyms? I can only imagine you maybe haven't been totally honest with your "profits" at those levels, or maybe you only got those by getting lucky in hands or hit n running. I've never watched you play so I may be well off the mark (No offense meant by those comments). Especially if you're not working at the moment, surely you want to be replacing that lack of earnings with some poker money? My advice to you would be don't bother playing these £2 DYMs, and use that time cold calling companies dressed in a suit with your CV in hand. Your never going to pay your rent/mortage on £2 DYMs Good luck

I can see how this could look like that, and no offense taken. I have made enough money over the past month to keep my familys head above water for a few months, and have heard that i have a good chance of getting my job back in february. I have never wanted to play poker full time.. I have had times where i have had my bankroll take big hits and having taken bigger risks to get it back ( which up until now i have gotten it back ), but its risky play, and i know its risky.

I got abit bored playing DYM's last night so deposited £30 and played some 100NL.

I have withdrawn any profits to take me back down to the original £80.50. I want to do the challenge as i have always wanted to be a profitable DYM player and i'd like to prove to myself that i can. I dont need anymore money right now, which is why i am giving myself 2 months to complete this, and if i fail then ill go back to what was working.

I will be depositing £30 here and there to keep me fresh on the tables, but any profits i make ( if any ) will be withdrawn after the session.

As long as your real bankroll is healthy for you and your family then thats the main thing. 

Goodluck and I hope you get your job back.

I have decided to take some of the comments on board in this post and will also be adding in some low stakes cash tables & low stakes MTT's.

Thank you all for your advice and comments,

Just a few games before i headed off to town, really disappointed in one of the DYM's as it was blatently obvious that 2 people were working together, big stack in BB had 6k, small stack in SB had 800 chips with blinds at 300/600.

Small stack shoved and big stack folded. 2 hands later i shoved for 1400 and he called me with 8 5.
I won the hand, but no solid proof, i just know in myself.

Bankroll: £87.79

I have played against you a few times and no matter if you are running good or bad you always have a good attitude, gracious in victory or defeat.  That counts for more in my book than the result.  I just play for fun and if I have a good result it allows me to play a few higher buy-in tourneys.  Good luck with your challenge and I hope you have a successful 2013.
