it really isnt that amazing. people used to do it a lot here(start others' bankrolls) b4 BF, just problem doing it now, particularly on PS




edit:also, I will reload the winner $5 each month till they are a winning player.

I doubt that'd be a problem for me, I reckon I can just about beat 2nl :)

I'd be glad to be the beneficiary of a start up roll on Carbon; The reason I want to try playing on Carbon is simply because I want to be putting in a decent grind at a site (USA friendly) that has greater traffic for 2nl. On Minted poker low traffic is a big problem and I have never been able to properly multi-table more than 3-4 tables at any1 time.

Hopefully someone a bit more deserving will spring up though, as I do already have a decent roll on Minted. Very friendly gesture KD!

Well, I cant play PS im US :) and i won a 20$ from CC free roll. So Cant ask for it. I hate 2nl cash games.. i sucks at them so I would ask for this so that I can play 2nl to work at my cash game, but again. have a small BR and do not need this. Thanks for posting this. I Can not wait to be able to do this. Seriously I enjoy helping others when I can help myself XD

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
KD



1) i have less always had less than $10 on pokerstars, as I have tried many many times to freeroll the money, but just have not been successful, i used to play railbirds a few years back when they were offering there freerolls there. If you want a screenie or something i can supply I am a non-US player.

2) I know this may sound strange with all my "posts," but is 2 non limit where you would sit down with a table in a ring game with $2 and do you want the money after/if the person succeeds?

3) im a very new ccer, so i dont think i qualify ;)

4)I have been looking for a while to start up my online poker game, since my funds were seized at full tilt, and i just dont trust using my credit card online at this point, which is why I hope you will give me a shot. I have been working very hard lately at a dead end minimum wage job with no benefits, and my recycling pilot project was cancelled yesterday, so i was extremely depressed, so today i quit. Not trying to guilt you or anything like that, but, as of now i have no cashflow (which is where the $10 comes in) Thanks for considering me KD, see you on the felt, its been a while

2) yeah, 2nl is where you sit with maximum of $2 and post blinds of 1c/2c. if person succeeds it's their money, I dont want it back.

You are being considered bud.

you've got 219.57 FPP, that's good for 10x20fpp tourneys, you could be a millionaire if you won all them!

Haha, true story, although your math might be a bit out. That's how I have a couple bucks in there thanks to those FPP events!

I've been out of the game for a few months and would love to get back into it--the right way. I have PokerTracker so I could post graphs and stats which could possibly be beneficial for microstakes players. I've been successful at the micros before, but always blow my money away being irresponsible. I don't have Carbon on my current computer so I can send you a screen of my account tomorrow.

Thanks for the opportunity

nice gesture, way to pay it forward

i'm free-rolled/micro-ed up to $30 on Carbon and the CC freerolls are the main reason, so good luck to whoever gets the cash and you know what might be a good idea ... if the winner gets up to $100, then maybe the winner can give $10 to someone else

hmm, was catching up with this thread and thought I had better mention that Carbon don't have 1c/2c tables, 2c/4c are the lowest :(

I reallly like this idea actually! Its a free roll comunity helpin eachother out when we are down!

We should start a thread for it. Once someone who been free rolled and foten a healthy BR they can do the same for another. I would totally participate in somethng like this. Once i hit 100$ I would most def help a fellow CC member who meets certain requirments :) Really nice post :D

So Pokerstars think that you're in new zealand, but actually you're in canada?
