Sorry may I know what is this for?

It's the latest in a series of competitions run by beginners forum for fun at affordable stakes (and with juiced prize pools)
It's probably better to post questions about it in the thread I linked. I'm not sure of all the details myself but you'll get all the info you need.

[ ] April

[X] April here :P

2nd early attempt to start this thread slides through on a technicality.

I am hoping to play at least 150 hours this month with net profits of at least $3,000. I've never played more than 125 hours since I started tracking 6 months ago.

acheived my march goals which Im very pleased about. with no mm this month to take half my poker hours away from cash and zoom now in place my goals must be a little bit more ambitious.

[ ] 60,000 hands
[ ] $750 BR
[ ] Gold Star (please!)

Ill be playing 10nl zoom. If Im playing *really* well in a session, I might play some 25nl zoom. o.O

Current Roll - $170
Hands played in March - 7500 Cash + 3500 HUSNG = 11000 =/

Goals:
$250 Roll
Get out of NL5 permanently
35000 Hands

Some days when you play poker it just feels that whatever you do you'll inevitably lose. Today was one of those days. Getting it in good as a huge favourite just wasn't enough.

I started off the session flopping big draws and missing and getting coolered. This then put me on tilt and I donked off a few buy ins in some semi-ok spots. I got my **** together and went on a small upswing, before the inevitable. I had KK on a Kxx flop, get it all in vs AAxx with no flush draw or possible way to improve. Other than the A on the river which came! I lost a big pot to a fish (it's below) which put me back nicely down on the session. I did win a little back but today's looking like one of those losing days.

I'm getting a bit fed up with ipoker. I'm just getting beat up and coolered to hell. I'm sure in the long run it'll hopefully start to even out, but I need to spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to get in any volume as the site sucks. The only redeeming feature is the rakeback I receive and i'm not sure if I can turn my back on that.....I've just been playing for the last 4hrs or so non-stop and expect to get a big payment on monday.

Managing to get myself into trouble in a 4bet pot. I flopped the nuts and got it in vs a flush draw. It hit on the turn obv



More annoying stuff....I flop top 2 with a J high flush draw. I raise on the flop to try get it in. I put them all in on turn and they can't fold and obv hit on me.



ARGH!! This really pissed me off. I'd doubled up through villain a few times but I decided to stay at the table because they were playing like a complete fish even though I hate sitting deep. Getting it in pre-flop with awful hands and just shoving some really awful spots. So I decided to play a bit of a wider range and try hit vs this villain. I hit an amazing flop and was getting ready to check-raise villain but he checked behind. So I took the lead on the turn with top 2 + nut flush draw. Villain raised and I fired pot back at him (note that i'm 80% on turn). River came, it completed a straight but I decided to shove it. Villain just snapped me off to show the set - putting me back into a fat loss on the session



This was one of the strangest hands i've seen. Same table as the fish, I was playing a wider range of hands. I flopped trips and decided to just call. Raising would be kinda bad given how hard it is for me to improve. The turn reduced chances of AT and so I decided to fire. I was really surprised to see the SB call. At that point I was thinking SB might have had quads and just slow playing. The river gave me 2nd nuts and I was surprised to see villain shove. Surely it's only AK and TT which shove this river?!? & it certainly didn't play out like an AK. I couldn't believe they did this with a straight and were trying to draw to it on a double paired board.

How does this belong in the beginners bankroll thread?

roll 266-

stakes- 5nl/ 10nl
Goal- double my roll and maybe take shots at 25nl at end of the month

[]Early attempt - Was about 2 hours till april when I started this thread

I'm hoping that more of this doesn't happen this month. I put it in BB's because I've played a few different stakes at stars. My Party graph is just as depressing

your above the equator line so what is so depressing?

Monster day

1600 hands +$81.8

Roll- 347.8

the weekends are so soft

I'm like 10192381290381290 buy ins under ev

Unbelievable session of ****ness. Yesterday, everyone hit their hand on the river. Today everyone made their set and tonight? I literally cannot beleive how bad my luck has been (or how good my opponents luck has been)






seriously? The guy limps AK and the poker gods smile on him? **** HIM!

The other hands were a flopped set for me - vs a runner runner straight for him and some other nonsense. If it was always like this? I would kill myself. I cant think of anything more depressing than playing your best and getting sucked out on over and over again. Actually, going blind would probably be more depressing but Im pretty close to it! Jesus that was a rough time. PT4 is **** as well. Just let me see my ****ing hands for **** sake!

Oh PT4 hasnt seen the last hour or so ? WTF you PIECE OF ****! Im a ****ing man on the edge, PT4 misbehaving could easily push me over!

days like this make me want to never play poker again. /nod

How to make $17 (the hard way lol)

[x] Early attempt ~ that is trippy was April when I posted, now it's gone back to March! Daylight savings mind f*($ for ya

Ok so roll is about $150 on Stars and Lock each..
Goals ~ (not all monetary!)

1. Learn Holdem basics

2. Try and Double both rolls, and try and maintain my account records of play etc.

3. Tilt LESS, covering all sorts, playing after a series of beats, playing tired and trying to plug my major leak of action/reaction tilting hard the hand after a bad beat esp in mtts.

4. Keep my buyins under $20 for mtts, was a hard few months when I took the cap off!

5. Don't EVER touch the Lock Casino ~ never have but can see how I would haha..

I'm a FF noob! I entered iron man! I can't afford the hi-roller though because I've been running horribad on Stars.

good luck chad.

Dunno if sputum meant the first (you) or the next one ?

Looks like you are the only one so far, so you will win my $15 prize by default at the moment, plus playing a small field of total fish with a massive overlay.

Can't believe no-one else in this thread wants to play, tbh.
