Initial Bankroll: http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/j...ru1ka/zero.jpg
Freerolls played to date: 11 <---No Longer will be updated
Cash Won in freerolls: $27.20 <---No Longer will be updated
Rakeback/bonuses: $0.48
Current Bankroll: $53.82
Hands played: 8,132
Total SnG's played: 358
Total SnG's and Hands played are not accurate. Some games were not recognized by PT3 and thus not in the above figures. I estimate an error of <5%
Everyone else seems to be doing this so I'm going to also.
I'm tired of hearing people complain about Carbon being rigged, or constantly getting "merged". Poker is a game of swings. I will attempt to prove the swings of poker, along with proving that a bankroll can be established with discipline and good play.
My intentions for this challenge are to turn a roll of $0 into a legitimate bankroll. I'm in the process of zero'ing out my roll right now. When I do that I'll post a picture of my Carbon lobby to show I have $0.
I will be posting the results of EVERY session I play, that means if I play 100 sessions in a day, or 100 SnG's, I will post EVERY result of that game. This way I can show the swings of poker better, and show that building a bankroll is very challenging. I've never deposited on Carbon as some may know yet I have a pretty legitimate bankroll. It's through hard work that I accomplished this.
For anyone who wants to follow me in this challenge, stay tuned to this thread. I wrote this post first, but I'm going to do some quick editing and make this my second post and make the first post my current bankroll and keep editing that one. That should make it easier to follow. In case you don't already know, my Carbon screename is "MyDonationFund".
This will be fun and challenging. I can't remember the last time I started from scratch!!!!!!
I cant agree more with u ppl either need to quit playing or just stop complaining,them saying carbon is rigged is just there exscuse for losing and that all in it self is pathetic !
online poker isnt rigged at all....is there more horrible beats than ussual? 100% yes. but that is also due to the fact that you are playing 100x more hands...in a standard home game im sure you can lay like 50 hands per hour. online you can play like 200+ depending on how many tables....

good luck donationfund :)! i might try this myself if i have the discipline haha.
yeah mrlova, you'll do fine, you're a good player =) if i can establish a br, anyone can...
And the bankroll has begun!!!
Wow...I understand why everyone gets pissed off on here from bad beats. I don't know if I've seen that many sick hands in that short of a time span. First day = one hell of a rough day!
talk about bad beats, this just happened to me in the hero 99 mtt freeroll...I had a good stack was in 10th with 30kQuote:

two hands later...
AA<66 this stack took me out...
needless to say I was sickened by all this...but I'm over it, lol
Great idea mrlova, I've had decent bankrolls, but I can never keep it cause im not disciplined enough :O. I know you can do it though.
Nice idea, I wish you GL at the tables and will follow your progerss.
I've posted an update to my progress...I try to keep the first post of this blog/thread updated after each session. I'll add additional information to the first post if I think it's important. If there is something you want to see me add lemme know and I will
well gl with this,kinda a interesting idea to say the least
Bunch of show off lol
Only took 4400 hands but I'm finally above my total freeroll winnings. Just grinded out a pretty decent session of about 30 $1.06 Fruit Fly's (6-max super turbos). Turned a profit of about $13 which is a really nice ROI, especially seeing that I rarely won. I got second in almost everyone that I cashed in thanks to a bunch of bad luck. It seemed every all in I had before heads up, if I invested ahead I won (as expected). Once I got heads up it seemed everytime I invested ahead I lost. Funny how the cards decided to do that to me...oh well, can't complain at money. Just wish the results were a little better seeing how many HU's I got to.

The above is a graph of all the SnG's I've played since the challenge began. I removed the PO freerolls from my results because PT3 is recognized them as $30 and $40 buy-in tournaments for some reason.
If you look at the graph you can clearly see when I transitioned from bumblebee SnG's to the Fruit Fly $1 6-max ones. The $1 offer a much higher ROI due to the starting the chip stacks being reduced by 1/3.
wow, you have such great bank roll management. Keep it going
That is fantastic dude..
BRM and everything.. Keep it up!
wow, you have such great bank roll management. Keep it going
