OK! so i deposited $50 i got from brm last week sometime and my time at mansion started off in worst possible fashion. every pot i was in i was getting sucked out on or it was a bit of a set up.
so by the second day i was down to $27 and i was not too pleased. i requested a cash-out of $20 as i was mad. but after a while playing with my $7 i was playing better, so cancelled my withdrawel.
good job too. the next day i played a 44c (euro) satalite won a place in a 4.40euro sat then won a place in a 44euro sat. not enough players entered so the money got put into my acc about $56 i played a $1.50 sat at the same time and won a $16.60 seat and that went into my acc.
so my acc balance was $100 then yesterday i was playing 4 nl4 tables and managed to win a bit and one hand i had a 6high straight flush. so i e-mailed support this morning to see if i had the days top hand. just over half an hour later $25 was deposited into my
so now my bankroll is a nice $150 im sooo glad i decided to stay.
just wanted to share and say a big thank you to bankrollmob for the great site.

Nice one mate. People don't rate mansion from what I've read on here. I'd withdraw $50 and see how it goes with the $100 left, that way you've got $100 of poker for nothing, and can still continue to build your BR.

thats not a bad idea actually. i might just do that. although i have just lost a bit on the cash tables. had my turned FH beat by a bigger river FH and had the nut flush beat by a straight flush so only have $138 now but i am chip leader in a $500 Guaranteed tourny 188 left so still a fair way togo. winner gets $163 as the prize pool reached over $800

You did well in staying there, you just tripled your initial investment, and good news don’t have to stop around here, as you are probably summing points that will give you even more reasons to be happy. Usually we read here about people who increase bankrolls either playing SnG’s or ring in a regular basis, you probably played some of those too, but your bonus came from tourneys, which usually are the less expected place to win nice, taking in consideration the higher number of competitors to give us more headaches. Good job mate, keep it up!

good one dude- keep it going...your the next phil galfond for sure... haven't tried mansion in a while, but from what is being written it doesn't seem that it is an easy place to swim in...and since i like split games most i find that only at stars there's enough liquidity
Just remember to upload a photo id / copy of proof of address then wait 4 days to be told the id isn't valid then argue for two weeks till they payout. Good luck

thanks for all the replies guys and gals. i must admit i do alot better in cash games as tilt doesnt affect me as much because i know i can win my money back if i get a bad beat. i just hate sitting in a tourny for hours just to double my money, it sucks. but then again if i final table i can win alot more than i could on the cash tables in a few hours. so it defo has pro's and cons.

NL25 (full ring) is beatable with just ABC TAG poker, imo play with ultra-safe bankrollmanagement and the key is never ever to tilt. Most people say 20/30 buyins is ok but preferable is 50 buyin even 100 buyins, its total nittyness i know but with that your money is 100% safe and you problably reach your goals a bit later but odds on succes are much higher.
Note: Full ring NL50 is also beatable with just ABC TAG and problably NL100 so you have something to do

Good progress, congratz how many hour do you spent for play at Mansion ? just play at Mansion for now ? very good you could change gear when bad at cash then go to MTT. Indicate you didn't on tilt. Good luck next just play TAG ABC ?
