just realised I hit 7k of posts here, 99% spam, (thanks Pifan for pointing that out), but whatever, and thought I wanna give something back. Im crap at strategy posts(you dont wanna play like me!), so i was wondering what to do. So I thought this might be an idea.
I will transfer $10 to one person at either pokerstars(non-USA), or carbon(USA) for that person to start themselves off at 2nl cash games and try and build it up into a decent bankroll. Conditions are as follows:
1) you must have less than $5 at the nominated site, I will need proof.
2) you must play 2nl to start with, till your roll is $40 then you are free to play whatever you like
3) you must have been a member of CC before october 2011(so no really new guys just here for the bankroll)
4) you must start your own cash thread and post your progress

to win the $10, tell me why you want to win it. I'll give the money to the best answer, either funny or serious. Time limit to reply 7 days from this post. GL

thanks MLB, its not much in the whole scheme of things, but maybe we'll get some person started on their way to a nice bankroll.

I like the idea of giving away 10$ to start a BR but alas I don't need it (yet).

Edit: Congrats on reaching 4 non spam posts ;)

12 to go for me until I have to post something myself...doubt it will be better.

Nice one KD, this would be good for one of those guys struggling with freerolls trying to build a roll that way.

Way to go Mark. Hope someone puts up a really funny post. I can remember winning just a 5 dollar prize from aloevera when I first came here and worked to my first withdrawal of 50 bucks. Hope someone does as well with yours.

Guess that leaves the Russian, I7AXA, out. I'm thinking he might have $5 left.:rolleyes:

Nice gesture buddy!

I think you might struggle to find a newbie from back in October who hasn't already got over $10.00 in their acc though?

Maybe someone could use the $10.00 as a seperate BR?

you'd be surprised. they have to be a member here before this month and less than $5 in either account. there's a lot of freerollers here.

Wow. Amazing gesture. This has come about at a really good time for me! Usually I have a decent bankroll on Stars but since moving to uni, I emptied it for a bunch of reasons, but mainly that I needed the cash. Books, rent, traveling, it adds up and I didn't think I'd have a lot of time for poker. Since then, I played a few 10 and 20 FPP games and then some 25c games and had a little dabble when I had the time to.

I like MTTs but have had a touch of success at micro cash. Problem is, being here, I never have time to put in 6-10 hours to play out an MTT. So, grinding away at cash for a couple hours every evening or every other evening and having a reason to stick at it would be great.

Apologies it wasn't funny, but seems like this would be a perfect little spot for me right now!

Does Carbon even have 2nl? (or just 4nl)

Guess it's near 200 too many posts for me to do something like this? (has got me thinkin tho... will have to do something soon for sure, prolly when I hit 7,272 I do something... best be slowin' down on my posting)
Great idea here KD... & nice gesture

Nice offer Mark. I see alot of posts from players that play the PSO games on Stars so this looks like a good chance for one of those guys to build a bankroll and wow @ the $5 rebuild til they're a winning player. (Have you thought this clause through? :p)

I was just kidding, lol nice gesture on your part KD. I also remember someone giving me 2 dollars on stars, to start off my bankroll there. I think someone mentioned her. I have always been grateful to her. that is exactly what makes CC great. Boy was that a long time ago, time sure gets away from you. good luck to the winner of this.
