Hi all mobsters,
Yesterday a thought came up to me, I wanted to play some poker again! I started with the freerolls at pokerstrs, nothing won (maybe obvious), but hey, there are just 1% who get a ticket to the weekly round 2!
I started this morning again with the "astronomers freerolls" because the traffic is much less then with about 1000-2000 players a tourney which gives about 5% a ticket, It went good at the NLH, but than as expected before a bad beat finished it.
I'm not planning to deposit once, because I always went broke with the free $10 bankrolls from this great site. I think the weekly round 2 at PS is a great start if I want to start a bankroll, just because when you win something, it is a relatively big prize.
I'll stop playing at Duckpoker because there is just nobody there, which some of you might remind because I've said it before.
My goal is to win a ticket, that'd be great and then maybe run deep and finish in the top, well... maybe top 20% is tough enough in an MTT with players that finished as 72nd from 9000 players!
And then... When I won, let's say $10 (would be a lot btw!). Then I'd begin as I did about ten times (I've used all the free bankrolls). It seems a little hopeless... So how did it go wrong?
1. At my last pokersite (duckpoker) where I played, there were just no big MTT's which I love. They are at PS
2. I had a pathetic bankrollmanagement... I will have to improve that, I think by playing at lower stakes and buy-ins.
3. At last I have to play more serious by not playing when on tilt, and only playing fully concentrated.
I'll try to make profit and not as many as possible, I mean I'm not going to multi-table, and not playing when I know I have just a slight profit on average.
That was all for now, good luck at the tables all!
------------ And to have you updated:
I've made a new (music)album and it would be great if you would all listen (or maybe even subscribe!)!
And do you still remember my idea from selling your seat? Still got no answer after more than FOUR MONTHS... I send them a reminder, so I'll be waiting for it!
------------ I was doing very well at the Thombaugh's mixed limit Omaha/HE. Just got finished as 232nd, with 4.043 participants I think it's a good job (5,7%). I needed to finish as 72nd, but I think I can do it once... Registered to the EPTLive tournament, anyone else playing it? Maybe I'll see you there, hope to finish ITM, that's good enough for me!

Cheers good luck mate and glad you hit the tables once again and hope you make some money and you looks like you doing great in the tournaments, so keep it up mate and have fun why playing do not loot at short term results, play aggressively but there will be less ITM, but if you are there you ca n have a huge stack when you do play aggressively so worth it as it can be used on the final table for pressure on villains. Cheers good luck at the tables!

Well the most you can use up is 2 a week... And when I played a lot of the freerolls, I would often win 10 or more round 2 entries per week... so they just kinda built up.
I might try and build some back up again for the next time I have to withdraw my bankroll.
It seems a little hopeless... So how did it go wrong?
