So I install one of the poker rooms I used to play at, just for a
bit of variety - im sick of looking at the tables where I currently
play.

I have 6c in the account and so decide to deposit. Before I do I
end up playing a Omaha freeroll and after three or so hours
place third for $6. Big deal you say - but I cannot resist the
"Jesus" Ferguson opportunity. Here it is, 6c to $100 is what I
have set myself. Although in reality it might as well have been
0c as I could not have played any game for 6c.

Currently sitting at circa $10 after playing a lot of 50c 5seaters.
Where there are 3 payout positions (3rd prize being just less than your
buy in). I think I need to get to $40 before I can play the $2
tourneys (the $1 games are only turbo and I do not think that
format is optimum for profitability).

I would be playing cash games but they do not have 6max 2c4c games in dollars - only euros. So i need to get to about $80 before I will be playing 5c10c 6max.


Day 0 - $0.06
Day 1 - $10.18 (currently)

Had to call time on today, very stormy out and the high humidity is causing any game I play to run slow (laptop is one old lady) - often sitting me out.

Day 0 - $0.06
Day 1 - $10.93

A whopping 18,217% of the original

Sure sounds familiar! I've played on Full Tilt for 18 months, the first half of that being with play money. I got up to about 2M in play money, entered a freeroll and won $9. The very next day, I won about 6 big hands in a row playing omaha and went up to $22. Been playing low stakes ever since, have a bankroll of $263. It's really not that hard, just be very patient and the cards will come to you! Good luck man.

At least you picked something obtainable like $100 instead of $10K. Good luck. Don't get stuck on having won $10 the first day. You probably won't be making that every day. Just take your time and have fun.

im working on building up my bankroll from $10bucks on tilt the min deposit just been playing small tourneys and the 1c 2c rooms doing ok atm the 10c forum game for fulltilt with $20 cash added is a good game its on at 22.00 server time so if your looking to build up a bankroll from low limits its a good game to play roughly first place always wins $10 which is a pretty good roi for your 10c investment :p

try looking for the games with added money the .10 nightly forum is an example of this but there are others and the added money in the pool makes a big difference.

Gl. You seem to be off in the right direction. Just an FYI: If you're one of those people who keep staring at your BR figure you might end up running in circles then losing it all.

Thanks for all the messages.

Day 0 - $0.06
Day 1 - $10.18
Day 2 - $19.55

Although it was boosted by a small bet on the footy. A double on Leeds & Cardiff to win. But hey, up is up!

No update for about 5 days. Although he said he had things to do, I suspect a busto. Assume the worst, hope for the best. ;)
