Right guys, played two tonight, was double average 250 left in 4.40$ turbo and internet cut out. Just got back in and we are out

Going to request a new router and upgrade. Can't play again until this is resolved, too risky, we have about $80, wont consider top ups etc till I am 100% confident we will have a good service.

Apologies to backers, real world problems of village life

Sorry for silence guys, no change from last week, hope to get internet sorted soon, won't waste a cent until it is.

Not played a game live or online all week, it's pretty scary!

Broadband has been switched, 10 days of 14 day notice to sky and we are good to go.

Obviously I only have a small amount left, will post some options following the "I hope" successful switch.

Evening Team

I wanted to update on the online poker and the future of the stake.

My circumstances have changed remarkably from 1st October when I started this stake to the point they are practically unrecogniseable.  At that point I was single, living in a rented flat (with City Broadband) and with fairly low motivation in my job.  I now find myself living with my girlfriend in a land that Broadband has forgot.  I have also been given additional responsbilities with work and have a 2 hour commute in the mornings which makes late nights difficult.

This is unfortunate as it has coincided with a fairly horrendous downswing in January 2014.  The "technical issues" I reported in early January were actually me breaking my laptop screen in frustration which points to how much this means to me (and underlying anger issues more probably).

At the moment my key aim is to get back to "all square" and then consider if I wish to continue or allow the stake to come to a natural conclusion.  I think I have proven I can win money, we have seen the swings and I am confident I can get us back in the black.

We have around $80 left in the kitty.  I assume nobody has any issues with my accounting.  I am happy to show history if require but the -ve ROI on OPR should show I have played all the funds in keeping with the mandate which I have stuck to almost maticuously.

I believe the Broadband issue will be sorted this week and I will start testing things.  I think it is pointless working with $80 as it is really one session and therefore suggest we do a top up in advance of beginning to play again.  I think $400 should be sufficient for the time being.  I think $1600 MU is a time to reassess the position again.  We know that this is really only one decent performance based on the runners and I have taken us out of this position before.

To show my commitment to the stake if anyone does not wish to continue I will buy the MU at 50% which is the deal agreed with the previous opt out.  I will again make this offer at $1,600 if there is sufficient continued interest.  I think it is important to confirm my commitment as obviously it would have been fairly easy for me to run this down and try and get dropped.  This is not how I operate and I wish to ensure my reputation is maintained.

The top up would be:

25%=  $100
10%=  $40
5%=    $20

I wanted to make sure people are fully aware of my circumstances before staking.  From March onwards I will be aiming for around 150-200 games per month which is lower than the OP but I will stick to this and pretty sure we will be back on top soon!

Are the current %s staked in you as per OP?

If so, I'll top up my 10% as per your last post. Back in UK Monday though, can't access 'Stars in USA

[Steve Swift]

In for  a top up

No worries, I have been told 3rd for Broadband anyway.

For clairity we originally invested $800, there was a $800 top up of which $400 was returned.  At that stage all agreed to change the roll to $1,200.  So make up is currently as follows:

25%  $300
10%  $120
5%    $60

Ignoring the $80 remaining.
