Building of a Bankroll [Day 4: $23.60]

[Spew]

Well, I had to withdraw my entire bankroll having to helping out my dad get out of a bind.

I am giving myself a task mostly for fun. Deposit zero money and try and build a bankroll with only pure Freeroll tourneys and pokers points Tourney's that i have laying around different sites.

Started this week. So far I won a 22 cents coming in 200th out of 10,0000 on PokerStars. This has let me play the penny tables (.02/.04) and have made it to $3.20. Weee!

It is fun playing for amounts that mean nothing. I'll pop in every now and then and update my status in this thread

UPDATE: $4.31 now. Up $1.11 or 25BB today.

As long as I remember that they are going all the way with their one overcard or their gutshot I do well. Man if only all the levels were as easy as the penny tables

Good-luck with your Quest. There are a few players here that have never deposited anything. The most successful that I know of is toronexti, he has recently cashed in his first WPT event and he has been at the final table of the Stars million, so it can be done!

I would contact AuPanner.

He's our resident bootstrap puller.

Good luck! I'm doing that on Party too. Booked 74 cents on party's freeroll took to their .05/.1 limit table and went up to 2.32 yesterday on their .02/.04 penny NL table.

It's fun and just an experiment. Good luck with it.

Played for an hour this morning up 67 cents (24 BB).

Saw a $1 + .10 tourney and couldn't resist. Finished 125th out of 1100 + for a hefty payout of $2.01 heheh.

I know entering this tourney is not advisable with my Bankroll but I feel so confident at the penny tables. It feels nice to be a big fish at a small pond

The hand I went out with, I was 65/35 ahead PF and was getting odds to make the call.

So your quads lost to a royal?

Good luck with your quest. I'll be interested in seeing how it goes.

Sorry for the confusion, that wasn't the last hand. The hand that I posted tripled me up when I had an M of 5-6 to get me back in the hunt.

The last hand was something like, A8s and called an All-in of K4o. The flop was KKx and I was out.

This thread is about being positive. I thought I'd post my quads instead of my good call that didn't work out

Update: Took a maniacs small stack and a nice run at a table and then a small step back. Still up for the day on Stars. $10.10

And now Party comes into the picture. $5 Casino No Deposit Bonus with $15 clearing. Cleared the bonus playing Blackjack and ended up with $10 in the Party Account. An hour of 5cent/10cents up $3.50 (+35 BB). $13.50

Total for Day 4: $23.60

Thought I would update with a nice FT appearance in a PS $1 tourney. 5 hours in finished 3rd for a $79.40. win However I was pretty lucky getting to the top 20.

With this win I have gotten my BR over 100$. 30+ on Party and 90+ on Stars. I'm at the point where I can comfortably play and even try chasing some juicy bonuses. All from a 22 cent win from a PokerStars Freeroll I will probably let this thread die now.

Last Hand I was 3rd with an okay stack, but I was ready to gamble. The villain played very conservatively PF, however at this point in the tourney I would put him on any A, or any K with that raise. Thought I was probably ahead at the flop, turns out I had all my money in when I was in the lead and I am content with that

When you hit $5 you can do what this player did to hit 1k in one week.
