That would be enough to cover my rent, water and energy. My bankroll is at 200$ spread over several skins.
Unfortunately I can't withdraw and deposit as I had planned from one to the other, as my neteller account is still stalled :(

My principal goal was to have 100$ in each account before studying cash games (I've tried some with 1! buy in, they are just waiting for me) to be competitive.
Obviously with the backup, I can win here and loose there, doesn't matter, just switch the money from one to the other. At the end I would have found out, where to play cash games.


As this isn't possible anymore to follow at the moment, I need a change of plans!


Yesterday I played the winterseries 7,5k knockout for 1,10$ (only to be part of the freeroll on 09.01.) I won't bother you with results, but winning a Tournament like this would keep my problems away for 2 years and I could go on studying all day long. (Did I make a point?)
Ok, I won 2$ there, but I can't play it again, I only have 6$. But If I'd had called these two donks with my ducks, I would have been in top 1000 And with 100 buy ins I SWEAR I WOULD HAVE KNOCKED EM OUT BOTH :)LOL:) I saw the final table live with 1.200$ reawrd WITHOUT the bounties. (must have been 2-3k in total, if anyone of you did it, I would be interested how much these ko's can pay out)
The last 4 were waiting for someone to show them how to play. Anyway, seems to me on PS you need at least 100$ to start to investigate.


At 888 I'm at level 25 and I'm sure reaching level 30 will pay out at least 100$ with the Club freerolls If I only register and sit out ;) seriously, 100$ calculated as fixed winnings over the year.


During the last 4 months I had a continuous average of 50$ winnings every month by freerolls, but I spent them 4 investigating the different spending possibilities :rofl:


Still not summing up, so I have to find more ways to win more. Internet is paid anyway, why not poker? But where?
partypoker gave me some nice tickets with their 1c rolls , but as far as I don't hit the bubble position that is paid, the only thing to earn is training, I'm not going anywhere but Las Vegas!!! Dublin is rainy.
Seriously, not much of winning chances, so the tournament money will go to KO-Tournaments on the weekend. See if we can grab some here.


On 888 I'm serious about reaching lvl 100 by the end of the year playing 1c sit and fly's like a controlled slot machine and invest the 10c tickets (I win 5 out of 20 on average) to fishy games, more SnG's to make it a $Ticket and whenever I'm over 10$ I'll wager the big Lebowski a while. Actually this should be done latest by June.
LVL 100 will ALWAYS (for the sake of 888) be a good backup to recover from 0 just in case!!! Goal is to play poker inbetween 8-10$ (at 8 fill up with freerolls) and wager in casino everything over 10$ I'll give it try until I reached Lvl 100 with 10 "FREESPINS" at 0,25 and see what comes out, or 10 spins at 0,50 when my day of free poker lifted me up to 15 $. (Seriously it's just for levelling up, don't fall into "BIG WINS")


On PS I don't get a foot into the door. The fields are just too big and my buy ins too small for my skills. ( I guess) Even on 1$ tournaments they are throwing chips around as they were growing on each Wal Mart's parking slot for free. In short: I haven't found a solid way up there yet, I'm happy about any advice or better: experienced advice. I will focus more on the League to get more experience at PS at all.


On Redstar I will play the 0,11 K.O. SnG's, seems like nobody plays them and whenever I sign up; immediately it's full. ;) so a ring of russians that want to cheat me and they pay me almost every time 0,40 ;) I tried the flip a coin for 1c to get the entry cheaper, but that doesn't pay out. Better buy in directly!!! (I got 1 out of 20, but I'm not a lucky guy if you wanna give it a flip). Hence they don't know that I know what hey are doing I will play these on weekends, drunk russian and european time ;)


On ipoker I can do whatever I want, this is mi casa! ( I count it 20$ - 50$ backup a month)
I'm heading for the 1000$ MTT daily whenever I have a ticket, so on a daily basis more or less.
Haven't seen the light yet there, I'm not rebuying yet. The tickets come from 0,20 SnG's and tournaments. Still getting the entrance cheaper, on average the 2nd 0,20c gives me a 1$ ticket. Goal is to play it every day and stay at 20$ more or less. Fillup and wait ain't a problem.


See, what I'm heading to? I need to gain TONS of information to the different things I'm going to play in 2018, so I have to play it SOOOOOOO many hands to gain information.


I'm looking forward to, and i'm sure I'l not be whining by christmas because of my lost bankroll in ANY of those casinos!!!


Luck IS NOT an asset!!!


So finally, I opened this thread in case somebody is doing something similar in a different manner or the same way. I want my bankroll keep stable for the rest of it's life :party:


Any hints for shortcuts, nice interesting Tournaments (K.O., u know?) AND in coherence attractive bonus offers to just grow up year by year are more than welcome.


On ACR I just found the 0,11$ 75k GTD to spend money, but I haven't deposited yet, so I think I'll take this to go for the Million, as you have to bing thick, no idea there, maybe some 2,20$ at night.

But Last But Not Least: Every single opportunity to win 2k with 1$, how to make 5 times your money, every "WORTHFUL" shortcut, that could lvl up your BRM by a X-times for beginners (100$-1000$), should be shared. I'm sure, you've been there and lots of you have done that!



Thanks!

So You are winning $600 a year in freerolls ? Where's the problem to reinvest and win the remainding $400 in paid tournaments where your skill should help more then in freerolls???

Maybe You just stop throwing away your winnings in casino games ?

Win

the world of poker is full of good and bad stories, the important thing to learn from every lesson you have, in the mind of every poker player you have to be prepared to accept that you do not always win and that there will always be a second chance:turtle:

Actually, I'm not spending much on casino games, only 888 for the levels, and that is MORE than controlled. I reinvest in small tournaments, but couldn't make it there, because they are not that different from freerolls (T4o all in and wins with a flush or straight, all in is the only button they use anyway)
As soon as I play cash games, the money is gone, so this will be a target for next year, maybe.
but I think I'm better at MTT's or Sng's.

If you normally play a cache, then the gain of 3-5 dollars a day will not be difficult for you, you will earn 1000 for a year, everything is very simple))))

Wow, not so bad ;) unfortunately my landings are at 10% of your's I guees. Actually, this week was not so bad, Made some nice winnings and progresses, did'nt play THAT bad most of the time I was kicked out, and I have gained a LOT OF MORE INFORMATION in the main tourneys I'm gonna play on a daily basis. Future looks great :cool:
Big Lebowski gave me a nice boost to LVL 29 and 1/2, the rest to LVL 30 is done by playing 5 more days, so if no further money rain comes in, I'll have another nice 1000$ / 500$ freeroll in my "hora de comida", at 1:10 p.m. by next week.
My calender is filling up constantly and nicely, but the bigger tournaments cause bigger headaches, too!!! :banghead:

Nice job hunting all this freerolls and promotions.


You could try something though. Have a bankroll of 500 bucks and try to play only paid MTT's. From 0.5 to 5 bucks. play also satellites into bigger MTT's, especially on weekends. Maybe you are better than freerolls and you don't exploit your potential. Study more if you have time.

Stick to what you are good at, what you feel comfortable doing, where you are winning (or at least breaking even, which seems to be the case). Master that which already is leaving you a profit. Then, with time, if you want, and if you keep on getting better at tournaments and SnGs, give cash games a chance, at small tables, where, if you lose money, won't be a big deal for you, just a learning experience playing cash to see if you can improve there.

But really, it's OK to stick only with MTTs and SnGs if you can win fairly constantly there, just do that and forget about cash tables.

I would keep on freerolling and try to reinvest the money in real money SNG or MTTs. But I think, it is really hard to cash around $1000 when you are a recreational player and you have not daily several hours time to play. Well, it happened to me as well, but before I just was doing strict bankroll management and I am still doing, like I never won this. It is just for addition for me. I have to look on my skills and my level, where I feel well. And about this I am thinking where to reinvest in the games. Not just, oh I won some, therefore I jump up over several levels... Because I think, you easily could loose it again there without brm. And I also want to use some of the money for me personally.

Three dollars a day and you have it:)

Use the $3.50 buy-in Fifty/Fifty on poker stars they are fairly easy if you play tight.


Wish my living costs were that cheap.

I'm in the MDS on ACR by freeroll :cool: , if this works out fine, all discussions is done.It's been a hard and winding road, but I will always try again.
nice to see that the "rich" ppl there play the same poker, just the table is black ;)

Phil Ivey in the house!!!
So you're cashing 80% of the time in multi-table tournaments? WoW!
How many weeks is this so far? (how many tournaments each week?).


I feel like I've won the lottery when I cash in 1 of 4 (25%). I did cash at 80% ITM once in CC Partypoker freerolls... getting in the money 4x in 5 weeks, lol.
