I would bank it and just tlet it sit there and keep playing the freerolls and try and build up a bank roll. Once you get a bankroll built up you can play the buy ins or the cash games.

Isn't it much harder to cash in a free roll than a regular MTT?

this is a very complicated question that deserves a complex answer. i'll post my report here when im finished writing it.

ha ha... I've met someone ^ worse than myself!! Nice!

Yeah I actually thought it was your post when I read it, had to look up at the author to see it wasn't.

Spooky you have a clone, or an apprentice.

I had a similar dilemma myself today,
just started on a new site, no funds, playing freerolls to get used to the software and feel of the site.

won $2

Practiced appropriate BRM for that amount; invested 100% in a cash table 2c/4c.

and doubled it up to $4.

Now what should I do with the $4?

Awaiting a fully qualified report, impatiently.

well all i can say is that I wished I would have gone to a cash table instead of playing in tournys i think I would have done better. Now that I am back to playing these fun steps again I am starting to play really bad. I have lost all patients and I am full of frustration. The stupid plays and stupid calls that people play at theses is getting to me. I see it even in my stats that I am starting to play stupid. It is such BS to play 2/3 hours to get to FS3 and get called all in when I have AA and they have 6 9 off suit and lose.

At least in the free rolls after the first hour or so people play normal. But then you only get a damn coupon. I know deposit right?? Well I was going to and the day I was, merge decided they are not taking vista. And a $100 WU deposit is a big difference then a $20 deposit.

Well that was my rant ty :)

You're getting close enough on posts to maybe qualify
for some of the CC freerolls:) = less frustrating.
I tried the .11.bumblebee STT - you start with a M of 6.6
so almost every hand is allin - maybe only 15 hands before
broke - got to be lucky. Lowest variance is probably $1.10
DON, but got to start with $2.

Why would you deposit at a time when you feel frustrated and aren't playing well? Take a break! For crying out loud, you are stressing yourself out over ~pennies.

Time off, coupled with research/education will be good for you.

Well I was going to deposit before I felt that way. Advice already taken and feeling/playing better. Tilt is a mofo :D

I was just playing really impatient because I was no able to deposit and I was pissed about it and I felt like DAMN just give me the buck already.

Well the advice in the free roll requirements is to wait until you are sure you meet the quota so I am in no hurry they are not going anywhere soon.

wholly shet, if your any good and you have rake back - play .11 SNG bumble bees. You get atleats 10 games to beat variance with rake back youll earn a free game every day. Play free rolls as well. SNG Double ups are gd if you just want to go for it - to get up to $3 or so fast so ur not constantly trying to beat rake and variance.

Very late but the best $2.20 coupon tournament is the $11 coupon X 10 guaranteed. 60ish people enter and top 12 or 13 get $11 coupons, and 13th gets like $2.
