Decided to run up my free bonus $5 that Carbon gave to me to see how high i can get it before the year ends. I plan on making one withdrawal before the end of the year to test it out.
So far I have been playing $1 heads up matches , with the exception of one accidental $2 heads up which was supposed to be a $1 match, other than that i'm 14-3 on HU not counting the $2 loss.
I plan to run it up to like $30 and then going to jump into $2 HU, after that im not exactly sure what I will do but I also want to start playing everything else on there including cash,tourneys, sit and goes.
So far I'm up to a good start and my bankroll sits at $12.38

not a bad idea, I'm actually used to the full ring sit n goes....I think i might start playing full ring sit n goes now that my bankroll on there is a bit higher.

34-11 win/loss record on $1 sit n goes which they now increased to 1.50 so ive been doing those.
0-1 on $2 HU, which they got rid of so I wont be doing those anymore.
4-3 on $3 HU
1-0 on $7 HU
played one sit n go so far, full ring, and i made a min cash on the 2.20 buy in.
also I played a $2.20 mtt and my result was 23rd/298 for a $4.95 cash in it.
At the end of today my bankroll balance is $31.60

Since last time i posted on here my bankroll dropped to around $19 after continuing to do 3.50 and 1.50 one table sit n goes but then was able to get it back up to $42.35 after doing 4 sit n goes today and cashing in all of them, 2 2nd places, one 3rd, and forgot the other one.
I plan on doing at least 4 more sit n goes before calling it a night, hopefully I can keep building my bankroll.

Nice! I ran $5 up playing $1 sit n Go's then played that $11 40k gtd couple weeks ago and lost half my bank roll so at around $16 or something. Haven't played any since then about to get back on these 1.50 sit n go and run up to $50 then move up.

Yeah it wasn't. I'll move to the 3.50 when I get to $50.

So I haven't been on here in a while because mostly I've been grinding it on Bovada (which I will be starting a new threat about playing in bovada and what I play to build up my bankroll). I've decided to come back and grind my small bankroll on Carbon (which at the start of today was 28.92) which I grinded up to 48.71 after a few sit n goes and one cash table 10NL session.

Good luck sir.. Trying to do the same on Bovada.. Ran it up to 49 bucks from 5.67 but got dealt AA a few times in the 10$ zone games and now back down to 25ish.. I'll drop down to 5$ and sprinkle in a few 3$ 9 person sngs and hope for the best. I was able to turn a 9$ roll on carbon to 5 figures so it's definitely possible although I think getting it over 200 is the toughest part and takes forever.

GL OP, I grinded up a roll from $0 on carbon when i started on that site(right after BF), but that was back in the "good ol days" of fun steps, lower rake for microstakes, 35% rb, and more variety of micro sit n gos and mtts. Carbon has really made it difficult for people to grind out of the micros these days, obv trying to create more deposits. You seem to have a nice edge in husng format, imo you should stick with that till you move up to at least the $7 level sng b/c the rake is ridic for the lower stakes 6max and full ring sngs and much less hu obv. Anyways, keep crushing and see u on the tables.

ty, and good luck to you too rraid4life.
and yeah you have a point hoverr, I noticed that the rake is high for those micro sit n goes prolly why i keep hovering between 30 and 50 for a while...
