Ok im not sure how to start this post but i have to write it down
I got my hands on some cash and i will deposit 26000 kn cca. 3500 €
My entire bankroll will go on PokerStars ,i know i will i sit in front of PC high or drunk one night and casino games on FullTilt would eat my entire BR. So FT is not the option.
Im not fan of Ipoker so choice was PS or 888 ( if i end up in decent + i will play 600$buy in main event XL on 888)
I will play turbo and hyper SnG and Tornaments ... Cash Game 6max . Grinding sngs 10+h pd and will take brake when feel like it. I will not be pressured by time i "must" spent playn. ( but i know that it will turn out to be 12+h sessions daily)
This will be my first Online adventure with bankroll of this size ,in past i would go and play live cash game not this time .I would like too see how will i do with BR of this size.
My goal will be 5000€ (1500+) in 2 weeks.
So as soon as my vacation starts i will go to WORK can't wait
What limits will you be playing? Do you really need such a large bankroll?
B.t.w. I think you can self-exclude from casino games; if you're drunk enough, you may well transfer from Pokerstars to Full Tilt, and still be playing the casino games...
And another thing, be aware you'll be paying a currency exchange fee of 2.5% when depositing to Pokerstars (they introduced this a week or so ago), so if you deposit the whole amount, you'll pay 87.50 EUR in fees... And the same when you withdraw again.
So keep it in your bank account until you need it...
it is big bankroll but it will not go out of my pocket i killed roulette yesterday so casino pays for it this is better thing to do than go back one day and throw winnings back at them.
i will close FT acc dont need it anymore i see that they are tryn to make casino site out of ...well they did that more players on casino than on poker.
i will be playing 10$ SnG and NL200 my main goal is to see can i be profitable player at those levels .i had no problem playing live cash game 500€+ buy ins but this is different .i had no problem playing 5,7$ turbo sng 6plyr . so i will see.
i want to see how will i generate VPP at those stakes and go for SN next year if i see that i could do that. 100k VPP can be earned in year but for now i will focus on good ROI and see where will that take me.
2 week is long time and i don't want to play any higher stakes for now. im sure that 1.5k + can be achieved at those stakes in 2 weeks yes i know looks like millions and millions in rake are not enough for them

Hi, everybody.
Sincerely I wish to embody all these dreams in reality. Pokerstars - a quite good choice. Players and consequently also fishes, there is a lot of and if that has to be added to it to everything slightly good luck in the end result something will turn out.
And except good luck also I wish big self-control and patience. And in time to stop.

I don't think it's wise to "expect" to make €750 a week with a €3,500 bankroll... The only way to accomplish that will be by playing outside of correct bankroll management, and the likelihood is that you'll go broke.
As it's bonus money (money you didn't expect to have), maybe it's ok to take a shot, as losing it wouldn't be a disaster... but you really should have closer to €10,000 to be playing NL200

Hi, everybody.
Before playing on NL200 it is necessary to think well that there fish isn't present, there are sharks. And it is quite probable that instead of a prize will turn out...
But all the same I wish good luck in such undertaking.

cool bankroll there dude... well +1.5K euro is a lofty goal, not saying it's not possible, but you have to be realistic- higher stakes equals higher skill, you're gonna face some good players and should be prepared for the possibility of even losing some cash. and 2 weeks is not a really "long term" time frame isn't it? so anything can happen even to the best... gl, keep us updated

yes i am aware of that but like i said i won it in local casino so even if i go busto its ok, i can say i have given my self a chance to play at this stake without pressure ...well i won more but i will deposit 3.5k and i know what yout85 said is correct . 1.5k is allot of profit but 160h + of play in 2 week it can be done
it is better to set higher goal i wont be unhappy with 1k + or even 1€ + but s**t load of VPP

What level of stakes do you normally play at? It sounds like a big amount to be playing the way you are planning but it is always good to see someone taking a shot when they get the opportunity and I wish you good luck. Have you not thought about trying to satellite into the 888 XL main event?There are loads of games available for that one.

hello i don't like the way you are going for it as you said many times that you don't mind losing this money but it is still very decent amount and you should play smart and try to make it bigger don't go thinking like this is just free money , i will gamble with it because there are many pros at the higher level waiting for people like yourself i am not saying you are bad player , but you should treat this bankroll carefully and like it is your only shot to make it big a winning player knows that every dollar is important and fold big hands when you feel you are behind

yeah dont got the upper limit you could have deposited like 1k on poker stars just in case some black Friday s**t does not happen or happen and your money will be safe! Nad you could play hyper sng at the $7 level and i see that it is a good format and you will have enough bankroll and if you have positive roi and you played a lot during the month you can make some money pre rake back and anything more is a bonus, so good luck mate!

With a 3.5K€ BR he could easily mix $15 and $30 SNGs and be super comfortable with that. However, chances are OP won't be winning at these stakes.. just saying overall it doesn't take much and skyhigh stakes, just requires much volume, then it's easily possible even at $7s.
