Won 16 in the trout tournament, lost some in cash (trip aces got got flushed). Not a very exciting last couple days, but overall a 20.00 gain.

How is everyone else doing??

Gina, you are doing good. Just keep grinding it up. Seems to me that you are a decent tourney player. Just curious to know why are you not grinding out the $3.40's or $5.50's sng's? You have the 100 buy-in's. I figured I would join in since this seems like a fun little quest. I just made a small depo of $75 to see what I can do. GL with the rest of your quest. I am sure we will cross paths on the tables.

Ran even worse and had the BR down to $80'ish.... but back in business today ~$170'ish.

Gina, I gotta hit something and catch up to that $500 BR, I want to beat you to $1k, and then beat your head in to $1M, I'll let you win the race to $100k just so you don't quit on me.

my BR is up 439 $ without depositing anything, I have played MTT:s and Sngos in 2 years now(have won over 2k on pokerstars together) so I am very confident I could reach over 10 k till the end of the year, I actually finished in 1st and 2nd in 4,40 sngos on the same day so my ROI is up about 39 % this year

poker is all about experience and you could always learn something every day, and I am young too

Hey I just wanted to say that this thread, and Nate's thread have motivated me to no end. I had 6.99 left in my BR and in 3 days worked it up to 190$. To read about it here is my post.

$6.99 to $190 in 3 days

Didn't get to play much but showed a nice profit for the few games I did play.... ~210 now. Back to where I was a few days ago but it feels good.

Edit: just checked my RTR account. I probably wont get the money until about the 18th, but it stands at $65. That'll be a nice little boost.

thanks to this and nate's thread i deiced to give it ago, gone from $0.02 and 280 FTP to little over $120 in about 4 days now mostly playing donkaments need to learn how to play cash games to grind away but i guess uni exams must come first

My balance is still the same. Wednesday I went to the casino (won 180 playing 1-1), and Thursday I watched the news most of the night to catch up on pre-election status. I also renewed my cardrunners acct, and watched a new 25nL vid, and hope to incorporate some of that info into my game ASAP.

Tonight-Sat-Sun, I plan on putting in some long hours to try to grind up my balance. I've still got 1500 fpp, and wouldn't mind turning those into $ as well.

Good luck to everyone (that isn't playing on my tbls) this weekend!!

GL this weekend Gina, I hope to put in some good time this weekend to build up the $75 depo I made a couple days ago. I will update after the weekend, so save some fish for me.

Played some 25NL FR and got to $424.26. It plays a little differently than I remember but still pretty profitable. Weekend of 20+2 PLO8 MTT.
This guy seems to have nailed a 53/12/passive style

nice job to all...I'm on my own building-quest, I should really try and organize it into something for the thread.

Keep up the good work!

You are doing awesome Gina! I already knew who I was voting for before last night, but we will see how things go! It is about time a woman is the first in something and I think having a female president is long over-due. I know there is a lot of arguments for having an African-American president but the truth is that African American men had the vote before any woman ever did... hmm what does that tell you? The best thing would be to have an African-American WOMAN become the next president LOL.

Wow I went all political... *erase* erase*

I mean good job GINA!

looking good Gina n company...

turned my free $25 on party to $321.68...haven't played much there...tried a $11 mtt to donk out quickly(lol) and a $11 10 man sng for 5th(or was it 6th!!!). the grinding on the tables was perfect for the first hour i played but i dropped down to a $100 and played a few more 1/2 sessions with quick grabbing chunks to be where i am today...

BR also includes the other $25 bonus that was pending where i needed 150 pp's...might use most of my poker time this weekend actually sitting there grinding it up as i've preferred to play on my other main accounts/sites...

have to say that all expectations can be reached with good skills on & off the tables.

MEH voting based on party, race, and gender is like limping AA... ******ed!!!

Bankroll at $778.26. I run sick good at these tourneys. Had a few lucky escapes today



GL in the $2er

^^ Congrats on the win, nice boost for your BR... but isn't $20's a bit out of your rolls limit? Ohh well, nice run, keep it up.

I just had like a 40-game break-even stretch. I started at $212 and am at $211 now, TGFRakeBack.

I was going to say something like that, but didn't want to start a broohaha. I agree, solely voting for a woman because you think its time for a woman to be pres is rather naive.

I personally have no bias in voting, I'd vote for a gay, jewish, black, woman if her platforms were better than everyone else.

It just happens that the african american, and female candidates don't offer what I want.

And actually none of the candidates do this year. How sad.
02-02-2008 , 01:26 PM
Awesome Sput! Me, I'm sitting breakeven for the last 1500 hands- it happens Way to go from a 2nL to almost a 50nL roll in 8 days, haha!

You're unstoppable! Want to take on a new challenge of 3K by month end?
02-02-2008 , 02:39 PM
