Finally reached the first 200 gps and got those extra $5. got really lucky so far, playing a lot of don's, cashed in $21 from a step token ticket and now im standing at $48 bankroll and not really sure where to go from here. I figure i need a change of tactics lol. those don's get really unpredictable even in a session where everything seems to go my way therefore ill stop playing them. think ill make the "cowards approach" lol, and for some time ill be just playing $0.15 step tournaments and use whatever tokens i get to enter scheduled mtts. guess this bankroll will last forever
ill keep u guys updated on how it goes. Gl at the tables!

well done running that 5$ to 48$, definitely need some luck to do that. hav to agree rake is too high to play those DONs and those steps seem gud way to get tickets, but take care that not all of them will let u into a freezeout tournament.

Nice going, I would suggest sticking to what you are doing until you are at $100, then play some NL4 or if you like bigger DonS MTTs, but recommend $100 before switching your game. Congrats and keep it up.

It really depends what are you a game first of all but i highly not recommend to play mtts with such a bankroll, i mean you need at least 100 buy ins for an mtt...
The most logical thing would be to play cash games on the lowest limit, your a game of course, 48 dollars means 24 buy ins at NL2.

The sure thing is you passed the hard point with the 5 starting so you have way more options now with 48$ in your pocket. Try the low games you like and keep playing the DON's till you double.

Small update: been almost a week since my chance of strategy and so far with no results. in the "step sngs" managed a few times as far as step 3 ($1+0.10 worth) but lost them all in step 4 attempts so far. at the same time im multitabling 0,10 cents sngs just for kicks and those r the ones keeping things a bit afloat actually, not winning any but getting lots of 3rd and 2nd places to pay the bills lol.
With this results i'll keep the system just for another week or till im down to $40. bankroll so far: $46,15.
Gl at the tables!
------------ and yes almost forgot to mention the "villains play of the week"
got handed 9 9 in middle position, raised 3x, villain 1 calls, villain2 calls, blinds fold. flop: 9 10 10 i check, villain1 bets half the pot, villain2 calls and i also call. turn: A at this point i had the hunch at least one of the villains could be holding an A but not an A 10 so i decided to check/raise to trap, well, villain1 bets half again, villain2 raises, im all-in, both villains call. villain1 holds A3, villain2 holds A7
i thought: got the suckers
and the river: A ..........................................
no matter how strong r my nuts, there can be always a nut cracker

been a while since my last update with a good reason, nothing to tell lol. i guess i just dont play enough a day to have relevant changes in my bankroll with good or bad luck. fell back to $44.50 after a few sessions in a row with bad results. actually it was down to $38 2 days ago but, and as usual with me, went and tried $0.01/0.02 ring table on tilt, got lucky on a all-in with AK against JJ and QQ with K on the flop lol. after those 6 bucks decided to cool down again... and im still cooling. guess ill make another update only when or "if" i reach $80 or go down to $20... at this rate it'll be around Christmas... Gl at the tables and fingers crossed!

Good luck building your bankroll. I built a bankroll of $270 at Full Tilt, starting with $6 won at freerolls. Atfer that I paly to high limits, and lost it all. The luck won't last forever...

Been a long time since I've wrote in this thread but i decided to pull it up just to finish the tale
After a looooooooong time micro stakes grinding in order to reach the 1000 points necessary for a withdrawal i finally managed. Maybe i should have played just one site at a time, certainly it would have been faster, still (and exactly around christmas ) cant be sad with the outcome. Withdrawn $74 and left $5 to start all over again.
This is the 3rd time i make a withdraw from a no deposit bonus started here at bankrollmob. Always good to Remind myself and everyone else who's responsible for the opportunity of making some free money .
And so ended gutshot road. maybe if i turn those last 5 into 70 ill post it again. same time next year? Gl to all at the tables!
