Goal for the current challenge:

- win one of the Freeroll donkathons

The Yachting software is pretty smooth and fast, since its a new poker room there is not much traffic so far but they run regular Freerolls between 10€ and 40€. As part of this challenge, hopefully the exposure and traffic will go up and some 2+2 members were already able to build up a little bankroll there, hopefully some will also participate and update their current bankroll standing in this thread as well.

Restrictions for the Challenge:
- no cashgame above 1ct 2ct to make it more interesting
- no SNG above 1€ buy-in
- no Bankroll Builder Steps allowed
- Rakeback counts for bankroll as well
- regular updates in this thread.

Since I don't know my work schedule yet for the rest of the year, I won't set a specific time line for the goals but reserve the right to up them in case I run good The Yachting Rep also mentioned that we may get exclusive 2+2 tournaments if the feedback is good, feel free to also check into the official thread (linked above and below) as well.

Well that's me out. I've already played at the 2/5 cent level, and in the steps stt's. At 2/5 cash, player kept going all in on the button with atc and I had queens. Flop comes all clubs plus a king, then a fourth club on the turn. Was about to leave the table but he didn't have a club or king. Highly unlikely double through. Sounds like an interesting challenge.

Have mailed a friend and posted on another forum about Yachting and Sure Bet. Sure Bet is virtually dead, but it has no freerolls. The rng irritates the hell out of me but there's something about these two new sites I like. Even though it's rng poker, it's fun, and it isn't my money. I never expect to be able to withdraw it, but it's an escape from the real poker grind, and gives me something to do while my partner is watching crap tv. I promised myself not to play there again for a few months but have to admit I've missed it.

It is so pointless and time consuming, just like the internet in general. Welcome to the generation of glazed internet zombies, unable to communicate except through a keyboard. Now I'm becoming one of them.

Oh you can always set yourself other restrictions for a similar challenge. I just used those to make it more difficult to reach the goal

I started playing on Yachting on Oct.5 with 0.00 and by playing freerolls, bankroll builders and then at the tables, as of today I am at $19.95. I was just over $21 a couple of days ago. I do hope the traffic picks up but not until I have built up my bankroll some more

And don't get me started on the sure bet site!

Just played massive big stack poker HU 1ct 2ct € ... opponent had 50 Cent and I came in with full 2€. He managed to almost double once after I got some off him, but ran his top pair into my full to donate and I also hit a Jack with QJ after low flush draw flop to bust him. After rake was taken, I had a huge 36 Cent upswing

Vic, I have just heard from Sure Bet, and they say they traffic should be improving soon, as they are adding affiliates. Let's hope so.

Hey Squirrel,
Glad to see you back, just curious as why you prefer the smaller sites? ( I remember you from the RD forum )
My GF plays here on Yachting, she did win one of the freerolls this week. Site seems pretty nice, better than the one last year, and seems to have a better marketing strategy than the previous one.
SureBet, empty...... except for one player... oh wait....

You hear anything from Burger?

Good to hear from you Dutch! Sadly I have no idea what happened to Burger, however I've kept in touch with Eddie (Headaedz), and a handful of them now post on the realrealdealforum. I have heard rumours on here thst Real Deal is coming back under the PPN network, but don't know if this is true.

I should be a prop player given the times I have logged in to Sure Bet in the last couple of days and waited for a game. Miraculously I saw two new players, one yesterday and one today. Will be good for improving my heads up game because it's a rarity to find anyone to play with.

As you know, I hate online poker generally, except for fun, and the new sites are giving away money a lot of the time. I never expect to be able to cash out, but I would rather play with their money than mine. Sure Bet are supposed to be adding affiliates so perhaps they will get off the ground.

Maybe I just like to see the underdogs do well, but I think it is healthy to have more sites out there to chose from. I miss playing with Americans, which was the main reason I played on Full Tilt. FT surprisingly let me win a couple of dollars in a freeroll and build it up to the required amount and cash it out, but I would not have trusted them with my money. Didn't have much problem with their customer service either, except they were a bit slow. Have done the same over the years on a number of sites. Once I get to 50-100 dollars, euros, pounds, whatever, I'm outa there.

I would have supported Real Deal a lot more if not for Tom. He was a complete idiot, and although he and his forum partner helped bring players in, his attitude undermined any chance they had of building up some goodwill for the site.

I like Yachting and Sure Bet, but if I play for more than a couple of hours online I begrudge the time, because I consider that's a couple of hours of my life completely wasted.

Hope to see you on Yachting and Sure Bet (and maybe a revived Real Deal).
GL.

Late addition - Great news, both Jedi and Ed from Real Deal saw my post and have joined Sure Bet.

Apologies for derailing your thread a bit 39. To get back on topic, last night's 14th took my bankroll up to just over 23 euros. But it wont be improving much in the next few weeks, as I wont be there, unless a few mates start playing on Yachting.

15th in the PLO Freeroll (0.58€) and 36th in the 40€ Freeroll (0.46€) - getting closer: 40.41€ now ... totally card dead in both games, so no chance to try and win a donkroll this time.

Took a small hit yesterday, down to $18.70. Came in 20th for the 10euro freeroll, total donkfest, lots of shoving with junk and most of it hitting

I don't think we'll ever win one, all we can do is keep taking the freeroll money. You should have set your target at 100 rather than 50 as you'll make it by the end of the week at this rate! Managed to get Jedi to register at Yachting, so that's one more for the site.

I have a full time job and will probably be traveling lots for about 6 weeks come early November. A lot of preparation work ahead though and just gonna donk them for fun atm due to the lack of time. But yes, adjusting to 100 is the plan once the 50 are hit

Squirrel, the one I saw ya for a few hands on the table I had to rebuy with 54 left and 50 paid, got 10th in the end and card dead again ... last hand QJ push with 15k and 5xBB, BB wakes up with AQ. 0.70-0.20 = 50 Cent win (hope I don't spend all at once).

40.91€ atm and work 2mor -.-

Great effort at coming back from the dead, and making another final table.

One 13th place in a 10€ Freeroll after less than 1xBB with 30 left ... and 5th in the 30€ one for 2.02 after getting sucked out twice on the River. The 40€ Freeroll first hand pre QQ against the monster A8 and flop AT8 lol.

new bankroll: 43.28€

Despite 2-3 any two donk-in maniacs on the last 2 tables in the 20€ Freeroll both Squirrel and I made the final table. I got knocked out in 5th when i shoved with 66 and the last remaining all-in guy called with the monster 10-4 (River 10 lol) and he nuked himself out in 3 hands after that in 3rd place. Squirrel got 2nd and I am getting closer to the 50€ goal now.

Current Bankroll: 44.63€

Well played 39, another great comeback today. It was a minefield dodging the any two for any suckout donkaholics, but a sick sort of fun. Managed 18th in an earlier freeroll and 5th in the later one, plus a couple of euros in the cash (not my strongest suit) so I'm up to 30 euros. Now I'm feeling really bad and guilty about wasting the evening playing online. Bit like eating a chocolate bar when on a diet. If I play tomorrow I'm going to be very very angry with myself.

It was a challenge itself to avoid getting sucked out by those 2-3 fools, but that is part of the game on the microlimits. Just take one step at a time to build the bankroll and it will be fine

The tables were nice to me yesterday, made alittle bit of money but not so good on two of the bankroll builders. I think the donks are increasing.

New total $20.37

Today was the first time I was really frustrated, lots of work and just clicked on the buttons besides but played pretty tight in the Omaha one and was down to the last 15. Doubled up to 35k and was in the top 4, just to get sucked out with AAKJ against one guy that could not fold his monster AQQ5.

Queen on the Flop with super wrap for me but no help on Turn or River and the 55k pot went in the wrong direction. Doubled up my short stack twice but the same guy sucked out on me again and busto in 12th or 13th I think.

45.21 €

Not sure if I can play any more today, way too many things same time now work wise sigh.

15th for 1.02 € in a 30€ Freeroll, because of the rebuys and add ons the prizepool was more than 45 lol - new roll: 46.23 €

Nice going again 39. Building inexorably towards that 50 mark.

It was fun playing with you and Jedi yesterday, too much fun as I didn't get anything done. Originally I didn't intend playing in the freeroll where I finished second. Joined half an hour late and whacked em allin asap and doubled up. Never expected my big hands to hold up but they did.

Today I finally managed to stay away and get some work done.

46.66 € after today - had a 29th where I played like 3 hands after bubble burst and my push for 10xBB at 150-300 with JTcc was called by a limper with the monster Q7dd he had 6k stack himself ... no need to understand that
