ok..i hate poker..i hate GRRINDING...i love playing fast loose and gambling...have lost ALL my money in roulette recently so was ready to give up altogether but logged into stars to find I had 1000 FPP (and $0) left....so...decided to try and get something out of it. My fave is the 6 max sunday 1/4 million hyper turbo satellites... I played 4 but only won 1, rest of my ftp went on one of the 36 man 2xshootout sats to the 1/4 million, won a seat in that, so unreg'd and used my $11 tickets for the following...

9-Mar-11 18:39 NL Holdem (Sat) $0 2/6 $11
9-Mar-11 18:57 NL Holdem (Sat) $0 3/36 $11
9-Mar-11 19:30 NL Holdem $10 1/4 $29.50
9-Mar-11 20:14 NL Holdem $11 1/4 $32.50

So far so good

9-Mar-11 20:45 NL 2-7 Single Draw $11 2/2 -$11.50
9-Mar-11 21:32 NL Holdem $11 2/2 -$11.50

This tilted me so hard as the people I was playing were idiots...tilt leads me to...

9-Mar-11 21:33 NL Holdem $55 1/2 $52.50

Luckily I found someone pretty bad so took it down easily enough, I played some cash after this 6 tabling 5 NL, with $100 roll...I don't know if this is good BRM, but it seems fine to me, think I made about $30 in an hour after running pretty good. Decided to try 2 tables of HU SNG at $6 (130 roll I think)

9-Mar-11 22:26 NL Holdem $6 1/2 $5.75
9-Mar-11 22:29 NL Holdem $6 2/2 -$6.25

I played ok in both, so was pretty tilted not to win both, I play best 1 tabling HU, never been good at multitabling it....so of course with tilt comes....

9-Mar-11 22:52 NL 2-7 Single Draw $55 1/2 $52.50

I spied someone who I used to always beat at $11 so wondered why he was sitting at $55....was an easy target for me...

I also played the daily 40k but was out pretty early so -$11 there...

All in all I ended up around $200....this is the easy part...the hard part is where I go from here...would be interested to hear any suggestions...$200 is no roll and I feel I play better in >$50 HU SNG's, when the buy in:roll ratio is irrelevant, I just donk about...then tilt buy into something for all my roll....Im sure a lot of folk have been here before... I will try and play the 40k every day, as much as I hate tournaments, a nice win in one always helps, but I've never outright won a NLHE tourney before. I like taking shots in medium stake FL HU HE games aswell but when you start losing to 94o when they had virtually no equity on flop and turn it puts me on lifetilt...will update later today with any progress on this part time challenge...will prob be busto...I am king of turning nothing into something, then something into NOTHING...

Only had 10 minutes to play at lunchtime. Hit n Ran some schmuck for about 6BB at 1/2 FL....current roll...$226.05

Nobody want to get in before I go busto?

Played some more HU FL....won some monies....roll was up around 250...so went to HU SNG's

Not rolled for this but felt comfortable
10-Mar-11 19:05 NL Holdem $22 1/2 $21
Played bad in this one and tilted after losing
10-Mar-11 23:36 NL Holdem $33 2/2 -$34.50
Where does tilt lead me?? HIGH STAKES...crushed this guy tho
10-Mar-11 23:51 NL Holdem $220 1/2 $210
Roll now at 440 I figured I was rolled fora quick shot at $55
11-Mar-11 00:13 NL Holdem $55 2/2 -$57.50
Got coolered....so did a rematch
11-Mar-11 00:04 NL Holdem $55 2/2 -$57.50
Got coolered again....TILT!! Seen a familiar face sitting at $200 SNG I just couldn't refuse...I know this guy must have some notes on me being bad at this game...
11-Mar-11 00:18 NL 2-7 Single Draw $220 1/2 $210
His notes didn't tell him I run good...

Current roll.... $543.74

LOL SAMPLE SIZE....GET IN B4 BUSTO!!!

Ended off playing some NL2-7 completely under-rolled ($1/2 $3/6) was losing but came back to make around $40...after thrashing someone at the SNG I found it hilarious to find him sitting at a high stakes table while another 2-7 reg was sitting at the other....I knew the second I sat down a game would start....better luck next time chumps...got in one more SNG but lost....roll circa $560...I am on the verge of going busto soon by reverting to my degenerate ways...someone please advise a suitable path forward! I like HU SNG's but I hate losing them after losing a 2:1 chip lead 3-4 times as a > 70% favourite in the hand...how lucky can some people get?!?

A penny a day and you'll be there before the no timescale is over !

Have never made it past $1000....but am determined to see $10k THIS YEAR!

Well TY for the support guys, I am now busto...took a shot in 30/60 FL but got coolered...fired the rest into 15/30 FL and got coolered again....I should have stuck to the $200 HU SNG's with my $600 BR....will be back next month to start this challenge again....but I am never depositing again!

I don't believe you!
