almost sat with you during your first session, but man i hate nlh cash. just don't get the point (obv i know the point is to make money, but winning a tourney is so much more of a concrete goal than just trying to grind out a serviceable winrate).

Thats amazing. Over $200 and not even spend a penny. Cool. Congratulation.
I am playing only freerolls too 3-4 mounts, I didnt deposit anything.
I have 40euros on Unibet, 25 dollars on 888poker and 4 dollars on Bwin :)
That's great work. I have about $50 free roll winnings in the last couple weeks. I usually go broke before I go to bed, the night of the win. I wonder about that 2/4nl game. I am usually in good but the river not so nice. oh well!! at least I'm not depositing. Good luck with your bank rolls..keep us posted.
Today I got my first withdrawal on my bank account.. :) Getting money just because I am playing my favorite game for free? isnt it fun? :D

i just started doing this as well and now im up to $15.61
Great commitment!!!
Ive been grinding 4nl everyday about 12 tables. Grinding really hard, doing okay but want to be doing better. I sold off juicy, and ACR bankrolls. I busted Hero Poker roll playing a bunch of MTTs. Made a great run starting from $19 ended up getting deep in 3 different tournies, going for two chip leader pots at FTs, and losing AA vs J6 to backdoor flush all in pre for heaps. Was great practice for when I start playing MTTs on carbon though. So happy with how I played. I staked a good friend on sportsbook where I had $6. Wasnt the best idea financially but its all gravy. So im down to just carbon right now but plan on building up more side rolls and selling them off.

That is really awesome Shark. What does your setup look like when you grind 12 tables? Do you have multiple monitors set up? I respect your discipline and patience to the game man.
I can't seem to stay out of cash games :(
The first step to building a poker bankroll is understanding the fundamental aspects that contribute to having a solid initial number of buy-ins. Once all factors are considered in arriving at a healthy amount for the stakes one currently plays, then the person can address the many factors that contribute to building a bankroll for higher-stakes games in the fuTURE
thats nice money win , keep it going !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1221
dd I am not surprised,I wrote a thread where i talked about your play.The Good The Bad The Ugly under General Poker.Your in the Ugly part...............:p:p:p:p
Nice. What stakes do you play with your BR where it currently is?
I am playing .02/.04 ($4NL) cash games. I play about 8-12 tables at once, around 8 hours a day.Quote:

sorry for all the incoveniece guys and admins,it was a stupidity to beg for money.i will play freerolls and i will make my bankroll.i have already started to win in our freerolls,taking the the first place in the freeroll.thanks pokerowned.
I think that was pretty impressive. You should continue to improve man. Keep working hard.
It has been almost a month since my last update so I thought it would be a good time to catch back up with the thread.
On 11/21/2012 my carbon bankroll was $580.00. I hit a rut for a few weeks where I couldn't break the $600 mark and I was getting frustrated with my game. After winning 5BB/100 hands over my first 50,000 hands at 4nl and feeling great, my next 20k hands was a little under breakeven. I went from 11 winning sessions in a row, to 3 days of losing sessions. I was starting to question myself and if I was even a winning 4nl player. Over my next 50k hands I started running better and seeing my good play pay off again. It really made me understand how sick and brutal variance can be, even over 20k and 50k hand samples.
I have played over 130,000 hands at 4nl. When I started I was 6-8 tabling to get into the groove. I am now 12-16 tabling with 12 being the minimum. And I have played 18 table sessions several times. I feel really comfortable with the number of tables I am playing.
I have won two $109 tix from freerolls, one of which I used for poker maximus (and I bubbled AK < 1010 for 32 big blinds). I got around 185th/1200 runners. I am saving up my other 109 tix, and will continue to save any other tix I win.
I have been selling off my side bankrolls for points and paypal, so they are all currently low. It has allowed me to go over a month without doing any surveys though =) (sorry zab!).
I am proud to say I passed the $800 mark yesterday!!!! My current goals are: 1. reach $1000 bankroll on carbon 2. play 200,000 total hands at 4nl 3. be confident I am the best 4nl reg. When I meet these goals I will be moving up to 10nl. And I will begin to play tournies. I am going to be playing mostly $1.10-$5.50 buyins with the best structure and value possible. The most expensive tournies I will play will be $11 shots, that have great value. I will try to use winnings from 10nl to cover tournament buyins until I bink a score. Until then, I plan on grinding out 4nl =)

Very nice bankroll sharking. I need lessons so I can get a bankroll like that.
I'm very impressed man. I have not seen anyone in this forum ever do something like this. Keep it up.
is there any advice you could give me?
Theres a lot of advice I could give you. Would be easier if you had specific questions, but I can try to just do a vague overview of advice.Quote:
is there any advice you could give me?
1. bankroll management doesn't just happen. you have to really want it.
2. set goals and stick to them
3. its really hard to use bankroll management on less than $100, but the bigger your roll gets the more you have to protect.
4. rule of thumb have 100 buyins in your roll for a tourney. So buy in with 1% of your roll or less
5. use the filters in carbon to show only the games within your bankroll (example $0 to $5)
I always recommend being more willing to go broke and take shots when you have under $100. Once you bink $300-$500+ though be very strict about your bankroll management. If you want to do what I did, I only played freerolls until my roll was big enough to start playing. It took me 2 months to freeroll to $400. A normal person who doesnt play every single day could prolly reach $200 in 5-6 months.
Easiest way to build a BR right here.haha.
