I love pokerstars...

Logged on this morning to have a bash at the Hubble freeroll, and got a nice message saying they had credited my account with $5 for me to play with.

So not being the sort to refuse an offer, I took them up on it and decided to play in the micro stakes ring games 1/2 cents

Within 3 hours my balance is as follows...

congrats mate...but the real challenge is to take it upto 50 dollars(1000%)...and lol wat a taskbar,do yu really play at all those poker sites and that at the same time...gosh yu must be one heck of a multi-tasker

No, I just play a freeroll and never close things down...

I sometimes do get myself in a mess when I've got 5-6 tables all going at once. Mind you, I find when I play on impulse as opposed to having time to think I do better...

$23.82 and rising...

why did u block out ur ps sn?
keep up the grind sir

Cos it shows your name and address.

Excellent, keep it up. Seriously, don't blow it use good BRM and you can go far believe me.

^ no ur screenname, not ur personal info

Oh sorry.

My screen name is Nemo1969

When I get a chance I'll post an up to date pic of my balance...

Congratualtions for your $5; I like play more in Sit'n go that in micro stakes games, I cannot play many tables at the same time because of it I prefer Sit'n that tables of cash (full-ring).

I was just reading how SavagePenguin set an artificial goal of $50 when he started out and went broke chasing it. Don't worry about that, it will come and go if you keep winning. You're off to a good start, don't move up stakes too fast and it should last, good luck.

Pokerstars just gave you $5? That's cool. I haven't deposited into Pokerstars in about a year, so I doubt they'll pass $5 my way!

Well usually this is when they send you money. They try to use the $5 as an enticement that will get you to deposit some more money . they are sneaky sneaky people....well....not really lol but yeah that is what they do. Good luck

Congrats and keep at it

Wow sweet man! Hope you can keep it up. I just lost all my pokerstars cash a few days back so I'm hoping to get $5 in the next batch of free moeny they give out lol. A man can dream can't he?

That's exactly what I did. I deposited $12, made $42.xx profit in the $.01/$.02 ring 6-max games in a couple days, then blew it *all* over the following two days in an attempt to prove something and make a $50 profit.

Trying to get that last $7.xx to reach my superficial/meaningless goal cost me my $54.xx bankroll.

Pokerstars has given me 5$ twice, and I've never deposited anything. However, I have generated over 30$ in rake for them, so I guess it was a good scheme

I wish Full Tilt did something like this. I remember PokerStars giving me $5 like a few months ago when I hardly knew anything about the game and I blew it on sit n goes.

Its getting better and better

I'll be watching for you nemo1969. keep up the good work. I turned $1 into $1500 on Ultimatebet. Bankroll Management will help you avoid the crash. Goodluck!

Playing solely on the micro 1/2 cent tables.

If I can get it up to $50 then I may step up to the 2/4 cents, but as things are going I am happy just building it up nicely.

Wow, thats great! I got my 5$ up to 20, went on tilt, and lost it all in one hour. I guess it was a good experience for me

Well good luck with your $5 run,keep us updated,its interesting to see if you make a bundle or crash out.I guess thas why women like soaps..lol..gl
