Right, having had to abandon my first attempt at this due to freeroll tournies basically taking up all of my day, I have decided on a new idea....
I will be playing exclusively on Hero Poker - I will use their PLO 24-man freerolls to pay for their $0.33 micro hero tournies that play every morning at 1:00am (UK time)... I will aim to play in all three (NLH, PLO & HORSE) of these, as well as the $99 daily freeroll (00:00) and the Triumvirate $100 freeroll (3:00am)....
I will post daily updates on this thread in this format:
The eight people who put their PokerStars screen names on my other thread will each get 5% of my closing bankroll on October 11th (two weeks time).... I'll find out nearer the time how they would most like to receive their funds.
This should not only allow me to have a little spare time, but should result in greater payouts for my 'stakers' too....
Updates at midnight (UK time) every night..... here goes

goodluck...i knew you would end up liking HERO poker.lol..goodluck again and hope you hit your target this time.. just out of curiosity what is the target you are looking to hit?
ive done plenty of cashes in the $99.so if i can do it you will defo do it(only bad thing is that the £99 and $100 used to just be UK/NZ/AUS but they have let the yanks in now and its like playing the ruskies..lol)..also dont forget that there are various $200 NLHE/PLO/HORSE freeroll tourneys as well
working all week then have a hard weekend ahead of me but when i have the time i will watch you from the rails and give you support

I see a new try here I hope this one wont end up like the first one. Time is important in every thing you do, and its a key factor for online poker. Wish you all the best to you and you stakers

Thanks for the good luck messages
...I'll actually update after I've finished playing each morning, not midnight as I previously said.
Guaranteed a profit already tonight, and still in a couple of tournies.
------------ Opening Bankroll: $0.51 PLO 24-man results: one 3rd place +$0.15 $99 Daily result: knocked out with about 15 to go for cash Triumvirate result: out very early Micro NLH result: out very early -$0.33 Micro PLO result: didn't play Micro HORSE result: finished 3rd +$3.27 Other tournies: went quite deep in $200 hold'em freeroll, but no cash Closing Bankroll: $3.60
So tired..... thought the HORSE would never end. Bed time... night all.

Grahamy.... to answer your question about my target, it seems stupid to say something like $20 in two weeks, because that isn't really a challenge.... so I'll aim high and say I aim to have $100 by the 14th October (changed from the 11th so I get the last weekend to play as well)... which would net you all $5 (as if you couldn't do that maths yourself )
Once/if I get up to around $15, $20 I will start to play other small buy-in MTT's to hopefully grow my bankroll faster... I'll post everything I play on here, so you can all keep up with how I'm doing.
I don't want this to be your average "can I make a bankroll from nothing" thread, because I know the answer to that is Yes.... I've done it before on numerous sites, so that's not the motivation. What I'm thinking is, if, for example I do make $100.... 8 people will get $5 and I'll have $50 (a good enough roll to work with) so not only would I have something from nothing - other people would have the chance to build a bankroll too, so the end possibilities are infinite. I can just see the stories now - "You know that Grahamy? - did you know he started off with $5 from a staking experiment and has built it up to over $1million?" - "Yeah, I heard it was notable pro Rich Tranter who won it for him....." - A guy can dream....
Also, as there is only a small pool of players on Hero, chances are I'd see a lot of you at the tables... so it fits in with the community aspect of BankrollMob.

I know what you mean when it comes to getting caught up in a 3 to 5 hour game of HORSE. It's great to play well, but by the time the game gets down to the money (at least in large fields) your so tired you wonder how well are you focused on your game.
Good Luck at your meeting your goals for this challenge you set for yourself!

Opening Bankroll: $4.35 Micro PLO: out very early -$0.33 Micro NLH: out early -$0.33 Micro HORSE: out mid position -$0.33 Closing Bankroll: $3.36
....Better day tomorrow hopefully.
------------ Been a night of ridiculous beats so far.... only left in the micro NLH, but doing well so will hopefully make up for the other two... On the plus side, I've had a lot of fun pretending to be pissed off by it all.... You get a lot of loose action when people think you're steaming

Hey, sorry for the delayed update -- for some reason I've not been able to log in on here until now (??) - working fine now.
Bounty tourney was atrociously bad......
Closing Bankroll: $2.48
If I get up to around $10 any time soon, I'm gonna start multi-tabling the $1.08 DONs... I'm happy to ignore normal bankroll management rules, as I technically have an infinite amount of 'free starts'... meaning I can go broke, but fairly quickly and easily start again.
Hoping for a productive night tonight - Updates to follow shortly...
------------ Been having connection problems tonight, so not played any $ buy in tournies... just freerolls. Came close a couple of times to the cash, but didn't win anything...
