I've moved back down to $5 sit and gos a couple days ago since I have lost ~$100 at the $10 ones (I was up $120 than down $100). And now currently sitting at $631. I think I found what I'm doing wrong, I started playing too loose. So to make me play tighter, I started playing 8-10 sit and gos at once. And it worked. Only problem is I get action on every hand I play and it is only a matter of time before I see bad beats. So I don't like playing the $5:) Things started out good, I made $25 in... Read Full Story

So I played 2 session today. First session, I played 24 sngs, playing 8 at a time. I am playing the $5 double up turbos and I'm finding that most of the players have the "any hand can win" attitude. So I get action on every hand. And that is not a great thing because than I can only win about 2 out of 3 times. And by the time I get my money in good than they steal my blinds a few times first. So I think I won 14 or 15 out the the first 16 than I was getting tired and started to play not so... Read Full Story
There are several ways to start a poker bankroll without investing 1 cent. Here are 3 different ways I started a bankroll from $0; 1) Free Poker Bankrolls This is probably the easiest way to start from $0. Pokerrooms want to bring more customers and are willing to pay people to come play at their site. The bankrolls are usually between $5-$150 and usually have a cashout restriction such as play 500 hands before you can cashout(Cashout restriction is there to prevent someone requesting a...

Daniel Negreanu will attempt to turn $10 into $100K within 3 years. Daniel heard about Chris Ferguson's $0-$10k Challenge and decided to try it for himself. I decided to try a little fun experiment. Starting with a $10 bankroll I'm playing ring game NL hold'em on PokerStars , starting out at $0.01-$0.02 and not moving up in limits until I have 500 big blinds at the next limit. Why? It's kinda fun. When I get to $25 I'll jump to $0.02-$0.05, Daniel Said. Whatever my bankroll is, I will always... Read Full Story
Alright, 2 new things for my Poker Challenge. First, I switched from Turbo sngs to regular sngs. Second, I downloaded Poker tracker 3 two months Trial. Poker Tracker 3 I must say, I really like Poker Tracker 3. I have never used a poker program before and so far it has been easy to setup and manage. There's basically 3 things it tracks; -Voluntarily puts money into pot -Preflop raise -Aggression factor It tracks more and I really should read a guide for it's full potential. Right now I really...

It's been a while since I posted about my Pokerstar's Challenge. I am know finished 2400 of the 3000 VPP points to unlock the $150 bonus. I'm up $628 total for the challenge so so far. I would like to finished the challenge +$1000. For some reason I left the challenge to the last minute for this month. I wanted to collect 1200 points this month to reach Silverstar again and I only reached 600 in the first 28 days. So that left me with 2 days to collect 600 VPP points. I calculated I make...

Okay, I'm finally continuing my poker challenge. Twos months ago, I deposited $600 into my Pokerstars account for the Pokerstar's "World Record Week 25% Reload Bonus". So I have a pending bonus of $150 and I have to earn 3000 FPP points to release it. To become a Pokerstar's Silverstar, I would have to accumulate 1500 VPP points in one month. So I figured I'd break the 3000 points into 2 months of 1500 each month. My Pokerstar's Sharkscope Graph (I started the Challenge at ~500 hands) Why I... Read Full Story
