ive been playing funsteps exclusively on carbon as im trying to build a bankroll from scratch, but step 3 has eluded me so many times. today its been because i played step 3 over aggresively. does anyone have any tips on getting that elusive dollar?

Been there...done that.... I sympathise with you.... just keep grinding.. It gets easier and easier...Took me months to win my first one, (but I was just starting out learning how to play then..) but now I win them all the time. I just wish I would leave the buck alone and go back to funsteps, but no... I always try either the fast fifty sng or the dollar dazzler... sometimes I take first and then I try one of the 2 or 3 dollar mtts... so far I have made it up to 17.00 at one point..but thats gone now..... any ways, I'm wishing you all the luck in the world and will see you at the tables!:girl:

yeah it only took me a couple weeks to win the dollar, but i'm with you... next time i get it im going back to the funsteps to keep grindng for a few more. i could handle the swings more if i had $4 going to the penny limit tables. but i hate the limit games on carbon as they aren't true limit games, since the betting isn't capped

I'm seriously considering going into cash games... I love the mtts but am beggining to realize that the only way to build my roll playing mtts is by playing the higher stake games and I just don't have the cash for that right now. There are just too many donks in the micro games who will play any two cards all the way to the river and laugh at you when they take a chunk at your chips. ( They think they bluffed you when you folded after they raised at the flop when in reality, it flopped 22 and your holding Ak and your under the gun while they are on the button..or something like that..) Its just to frustrating. Actually, I'd rather be bluffed! Sorry if I derailed this thread....is was purely by accident, I assure you...lol

don't be so passive then. make a raise. if they call, check raise the turn with AK and see how they react. if they reraise that, you're probably beat, but yes playing out of position can be quite frustrating

Nice well done. I keep getting killed in that damn fs3 game. I did almost place in the freeroll this morning but I had a short stack and limped in with TT. I had high pair after the flop. Shoved all in,,, BB turns over AA. Knocked out in 56 place. DAMN IT. But there is always next time.

Once again congrats on cracking the FS3 keep up the good work. And keep us informed you have given me inspiration.

Yeah man! I have the dollar twice now in less than a week. You can do it. Just play smart poker in the 3rd step, because the players that are there are not bad. I turned that dollar into 3.57 last night playing penny limit poker, and am going to continue to grind it out some more today. I'll keep you all updated

lost a bit of that 3.57 last night but still over 2 dollars. i tilted. that much is for sure. had pocket aces cracked twice in ten minuted against smaller pairs. once vs 6's, and the flop was 5 5 6. and once vs 9's and a nine on the flop. the poker gods were angry with me for something i guess. so i moved tables figuring that virtual dealer must have it out for me. next table was going well. then a player sat down to my right who literally pfr with EVERY hand 100 times in a row! at first this was good as i was raking it in off of him, but then i lost my patience and started bleeding to him. bankroll went down to 2.18 before i quit but today is anew day, and hopefully the cold streak is over. i really dont want to funstep anymore. so please please please poker gods... give me a good day

been running kind of cold the last two days, but the BR is still over $3 at 3.67. tomorrow is anew day and im going back to my tight image. did hit a flush tonight with 7c 8c and a straight with 5h 6h. but too many bad players that chase with nothing hurts on the .02/.04 limit tables. I'm going to start a new thread in the cash game section tomorrow and will start posting some hand analysis so i can work on grinding out more money on these crap tables more efficiently. Good night, and see you at my new thread i hope. ProphetEyes grinding a BR from scratch is what it will be called in the cash games section. Peace... and poker gods i pray to you to start being kind again... and to give me the patience and serenity to play well. im sober these days, (especially after lastnights drunken attempt to play... BAD IDEA) so i know i have a clear mind without Mary Jane clouding my decisions, but a hit here or there would sure be relaxing... oh well... a few more months before i partake in that again.

If you look in the sng area you will see it. It is a 1.10 buy in and you can win entry into snakes and ladder lvl 2 for 3.30 and so one and so forth until you reach lvl 7. winner gets 2k. But the buy in is 510 + 20. Like i said seem like a long way to the money. But for 1.10 get a chance a 2k.
