Hi guys!
I decided a couple of days ago to play as many of the BankrollMob Freerolls at Full Tilt as possible to see if I can get on the leaderboard even tho I started a bit late. The 3rd one I played I got $0,05 from but it was a bit unfortunate. I as doing really good and all of a sudden my girlfriend was like "shut down that f*cking laptop and do something useful instead and bla bla bla" so I basically had to stop playing so I dropped down from 20 something to 67 I think when I finally could play again. By that point it was a shove of fold kinda situation and my pocket 7s didn't hold up.
Anyways, it's gonna be interesting to see if i can do well. My first goal is of course to just get into the leaderboard and then I'll take it from there
Wish me luck guys, god knows I'm gonna need it in these fish infested games

If you are a bit lucky you can be in the top positions even if you join at the end of it. All you need is a couple of good final table finishes since the last places dont award many points. Good luck with it.

Yes dude,....that could be QUITE a challenge if you're paying more attention to poker than to her... She might wind up giving you the ultimatum.... either poker or her. At that point you'll have to asses the situation and go from there....
Hey,...if worst comes to worst, your sex life won't REALLY suffer too much,....you can always go out and legally masturbate in public for kicks...

I'm just doing it for the challenge, to see if I can do it. I don't care about the money, Full Tilt isn't usually where I play so the money I might get from this will just be cashed out and transferred onto Party Poker. Or I might just blow it on the cash tables, we'll see.
Therefor, my goal is just to place in the top 200 and if I do get there, we'll see what my next goal will be.

no mate you're not,you should give it a go if you get a couple of final tables then you will be right up there in the top few hundred then who knows you could even get in the top 200 and get in the next freeroll. gl at the tables. i just checked,i've only played in about 8 or 9 and i'm in position 145 at the minute so there's time for you yet.

We are 5/6 along the way, I'm not goint to waste my time trying to win something when I know I have only 1/6 of the "chance" to play and win comparing to everyone else. I'm not saying it isn't possible, It's just highly unlikable and I'd rather spend my time playing SnG's and wait for another contest where I'll be able to be on it 100%

Hey mate, good luck with your challenge, hope you do well and yeah real life stuffs sometimes get in the way of poker or is it the other way around?
Happens to me all the time, playing and running good and then suddenly need to go feed the dog, walk, parents etc.
Anyway the full tilt games are soft, not much players like the pokerstars freeroll, so if you run good early you have a chance to go to the final table and get the required points to top the leadboard prize!!
Anyway good luck again, hope you do well, will be keeping an eye on you!

I managed to score myself $0,08 in one of the freerolls today. And that was without playing for like 45 minutes since I had to leave the appartment for a wile to help my mother in law with a Fragmin (Dalteparin) shot (a substance that helps prevent embolism). she's terrified of needles so me beeing a nurse was the natural source for help.
Anyways, another $0,08 leaving me with a grand total of $0,16. Slowly getting there, although I don't think I'm gonna make it since I'm way to far behind and I can't seem to get around to playing many of the tournaments and the ones I do play, I have to leave for different reasons...
