My Goal

Not in a hurry to reach it, but I want to build a bankroll off of freerolls. I have heard a lot of other people trying this. I am going to be playing in the CardsChat freerolls and in the 10FPP PokerStars freerolls.

I won't be playing it like it is a freeroll but like it is a real tournament, so far I have almost never not cashed in a freeroll that I took serious ($0.10 or not...)

I might not play every day....just matters how life goes on that.

Any advice anyone can give me that has tried this before? At what $xx.00 amount should I start going to small SnG buy-ins / low limit cash games?

Thanks

If you are making your bankroll off of only freerolls, how are you going to build up PokerStars FPPs?

I already have the FPP. I made deposit / withdraw before with PokerStars but now all my giftcards are declined :\

Currently in this freeroll, this is my 1st one for reaching this goal. (10 FPPs tournament, 4380 entry)

Well just as I post that you get a very nice triple up, your pocket 10's hitting quads, cracking aces lol.

Meh....I made a stupid call feeling lucky and didn't work out good, bad me (And I was happy that I got in top 13 = breaking the $1 mark lol)

1 hand away from final table, oh well I made a nice run with bad and good luck mixed in. GG everyone
