here we go
my bankroll now stands at £0.00
i have put in about 300 in the last couple of weeks and have lost it all
i have not really bothered about my bankroll ie thats why its gone not a problem just a bit dissapointing
so thinking about it last night i thought i would give myself a challenge
to build an empire from the ground up
so i will not deposit any cash for the rest of this mounth or next insteed i will play the freerolls i start from there
starting today in the super six and the 12k bounty freeroll so lets see how this works out
my goal is to make 1k by the end of feb
i will be getting £75 for my cash for points at the end of jan which i know is cheating a bit if i use that money
to play so might just take it all out.
so here goes

By the way, ive managed to get £50 deposited on 1st January to £700 so far, so its defo achievable.
Aiming too high will inevitably lead to busto as you'll be gambling far too much trying to acheive a target that imo is unattainable.
GL with things
with jesus it was a lot harder for on here its more possible as the free games are bounty hunter and primo and if you cash im them then you got about 100 or so then hit the double your money tables play £5 then if you win put that on a £10 then that on a £20 then start it again 5 10 20 as long as u win the 5 your ok so thats my plan for this i will keep up to date on it and see what happens
[x] Bust
Wouldn't get your hopes up. This isn't a challenge, this is a fools dream of gambling.
I had some time off this month, and withdrawals over Xmas and stuff and losing a bit I had £27 in my account 12 days ago. It was 3am and was bored, and was planning on moving a grand in the next day to get the grind on 50nl.
Anyway I took the 27 onto 30nl...doubled up.
Went onto 50nl...double up.
Went onto 100nl...double up. So had like 250 by 6am, and then just 4 tables 50nl like usual the next day.
From that 27£ I have grossed 2.4k. I have played a LOT tho this past 12 days. Gone from no-where in the poker league to top 20.
I do run damn pretty awesome tho, BigShann will confirm that.
might be a fools dream but it dont hurt to have a go
i know it wont be easy but to me it will add to the fun of tryin
if i only make a quid at least i have tryed it but if i do make it then what a fools dream it would turn out to be
remember if you dont try you will never get
and I didnt care about the 27 quid, i wasn't taking it that seriously cos i hadn't played properly on sky for like a month and was gonna be 4 tablig 50nl the next day regardless of the result.
ok so im down that makes no difference what so ever
on your sharkscope u have never been in profit so does that mean you will never be in profit
past is past its what we do from now that counts
if you wanna get 1k by feb just go for a 10BI rule.
if you want a more long term BR then go for 20BI just in case variance does decide to mo lest you.
iwill stay with the dym as i cant play cash to save mylife ( but sayin that poker aint that good either lol )
i know 1 k is a lot to aim for but if i aim for 100 and win a seat in the bounty hunter and take 100 there nothing else to aim for
its just for fun at the end of the day
As you say past is past, but learn from your mistakes. As you have already said you did not care for your bankroll and look what happened to it?
If there was ONE, just ONE piece of advice that I had to give to anyone who wanted to set goals in poker, it would be to use a strict bankroll management strategy.
Sorry if I offended you but this thread just sets out a very bad example to others who also want to try your proposed feat.
you did not offend me mate
and i total agree with you that my bankroll management is very very very very shall i carry on poor
when it comes to that side of poker i am no good and that is why i have dumped so much
as i said above the resson i have said 1k is cos of the big prizes offered in the primo and 12 k bh
i am going to try and play with a strict bankroll management as soon as i find out how to lol
i think its 5% of it but not sure
i can see where you are coming from as i think i have give the wrong impresson in that im just going to throught my money in and hope but thats not what i mean with this as that is what i have been doing up to now and its not worked
if you have any advise on bankroll management or theres somewhere to help u with it that you know i would be gratefull if u let me know ty mate
The fact is, if the OP intends to be successful then things have to change. To that, I wish him luck. To ignore a proper BRM strat, I think he's fallen at the first hurdle.
it was this 1 or my mugshot and if i put that up no1 would talk to me
Go for the freeroll strat u have mentioned and try to get lucky, if u fail and don't want to deposit then wait for the £75 to come through into your account.
In the time before that, deposit an amount of money that means very little, say £10, and literally GRIND the heck out of the 25p DYM's. Don't play anything higher, ban yourself from it! Try to beat the games at that level and ignore the amounts of money you are playing for. If it goes well and you're getting (for example) around 15-20% profit on average over 100 DYM games then you know you are crushing them.
When the £75 comes through, start playing the £1 DYMs. Nothing higher. Again, limit yourself.
Play this up to £100 and move up to £2 DYMs.
Play this up to £150 and move up to £3 DYMs
Play this up to £250 and move up to £5 DYMs
If at any point you drop to 35buyins of your current stake, drop down a level and grind it back up.
You can probably play these for a decent margin of profit if u multi table and play enough of them. It's all about volume, not about winning/losing streaks. Volume will over ride luck eventually and thats where skill comes in (Google "Variance in poker").
The money is ALL relative, so enjoy the game for what it is, as there's no point playing higher stakes seriously unless you really believe you have an edge.
And, as you say, it's not costing you a bean to start off so go for it. Keep off the cash tables though, a small BR will end up as scared money.
ty for the advise dead i have copyed this and will give it a go ty again
i have had some good results but just cant seem to keep my play up i try to mix things up a bit at times
and think i try to much any adise would be grate ty
Gutshot straight draws... forget them.
Open ended straight draws... 30% to hit after the flop with 2 cards to come but same applies to what i said about flush draws.
Raise rather than calling.
Google poker strategy and you will find so so much helpful stuff! enjoy and its all free.
