Didn't played yesterday, returned to action today with some profit. I'm trying to catch up and risking a lot at cash games. I'm now above 20$ but with few points, I play very few hands.
Hoping to see more people on this competition !!! Let's go !

I created an account to see if I could run up a balance just for this thread.. Haven't got my $5 yet, but it says "verifying" now.. So I guess shouldn't be too long. My nickname is "brmJess".
------------ Got my bonus about 1.5hrs ago.. I played 10 SNGs to start with, all 6max ranging 10c-50c. I played them all simultaneously and unfortunately although I did well in most of them - among the 10 were two 50c games and I busted 3rd in both of those to a bad beat and since all of the others were 10c & 20c games even though I won a few and got a couple 2nds, my overall balance was only about $4.60 or so at the end..
I then played four HU $1 SNGs - simultaneously and won all four, leaving my balance now ~$8.20. And about 12 points towards the bonus..

I have been getting beat in most all-in situations since 3 weeks. Same here. Playing SnG´s and getting busted with ALL premium hands. KK has been running into AA 8 out of 10 for 3 weeks now. Really! QQ I just raise and hope for a good flop, which never happens for me.
Had my AA busted by 6-2 pre-flop if you can believe it yesterday. Usually gets beat by trips (pre-flop) since so many weeks. Where are all these trips coming from?
I get really worried since 2 weeks when I get dealt AA KK or QQ. Unwinnable for me right now, and the QQ usually costs me a big raise and a fold. Don´t know whats going on. Lost a bundle on my regular sites, so I am trying this.
Maybe I´ll try cash? pffff No fun playing this way with a tiny bankroll. Down to $4.38
------------ 2 x Sng 20+4c 1st and 2nd... so back to $5.98 and moving up again. lol
------------ Damn!! I keep running into AA Been weeks like that now. Where are all these AA and trips coming from?
Lost 2 Sng´s in a row to AA on the blinds.
------------ Down to $6.47 Playing a cash table at the same time.

I am getting worried about this NDB, because i am still in the $4,40 since the first day, with 12 points, and still havent got time to go there play some more. I dont know if 90 days will be enough even to get another $5, not thinking about all the $145 more bonus.

I see that most of you playing sng's doing good so far. Last time i got a NDB like this one with 5$ starting capital i did the mistake playing only ring games and with only 5 and playing in micro didnt last long

Yeah - you're taking a much bigger risk playing ring with a $5 roll.. iPoke/GUTshot has 10c SNGs - with this you've got a 50 BI start for SNGs which is fine... Even if you play the 20c/50c games you're doing alright since they're pretty soft and 10/20 BI is fine.

Update on my status - I ran it up to $10 playing SNGs - then I joined a $1 rebuy - half hour in I was killing it with monster stack, then had a couple coolers - my KK vs AA allin pre etc. Had to rebuy again, get dealt AK - allin (rebuy style) lose to QQ, rebuy again - allin on AK AGAIN lose to AA lol (allin on an A high flop that time) rebuy and allin with ANOTHER AK lose to AQ this time. Anyway - this repeated many times, kept rebuying, getting dealt premium hands and losing either to bad beats or coolers lol.. Ended up $2 left, decided to stop rebuying and stopped playing.. Current bal $2.12 .. Will continue tomorrow lol - back to the 20c SNGs

GL at the tables!!!
I play DoN´s too with my 5$ (and a few hands cashgame to try). I play since three days at Gutshot and my BR are now 2,19-$ (typical suckouts like the other iPoker rooms).
1,10-$ DoN´s: 1 won / 1 lost 1,20-$ Turbo DoN´s: 3 won / 4 lost.
I lost my 6$ on a race! I was playing very agressive so when my opponent 3 bet me I didn't care much... He had 9s, I had KJ suited on the big blind, hit nothing at all! Not even a draw lol

OK - well, started today off with a 50c SNG, which I busted 3rd
I then had around $1.60 left and decided to play a single $1 HU - which I won, when I won that I opened 2 more $1 HU tables, I kept this going (opening more tables as I could) until I was 4-tabling the $1 HU SNGs, I ended up with a bal of $6.15 or something like that, a little over $6 anyway..back in "business" lol.. Currently cleaing a $200 bonus on PKR also - but I am miles ahead in that so I am not to worried. So gonna keep playing around with this gutshot see if I can win this thread

4 x Sng today = 4 x lost
KK to 95 pre even Ax shove called by 72 pre Who the hell calls an all-in with 72o ?? at 1.400 chips (I know there are times when this might be +EV, but this wasn´t one of them)
Doesn´t get any more ridiculous than that. Says enough. Going to do something else for a while. Been running like this for weeks.... Going to study some and change my game.
Won that one too ofc
