Hey guys!
As you may have read, I've had to cash out my entire bankroll due to financial trouble because of multiple unforeseen things happening. This left me with little option but to start 2015 from scratch, absolutely nothing!
So, this years goal is just to build my bankroll as much as possible! I won't be completely unrealistic so I will be putting a goal of $500 by the end of the year.
This first day is going quite well I would say. I won an entry to a $20 Qualifier so that might give me a decent boost if I can get a few more of those since they'll be converted into $T. I've also managed to grab $1.07 from freerolls so I've got something to start with.
Wish me luck this year, I'm gonna need it to reach my goal!
I'll be updating this thread ones a week or when I get a significant win.

i wish you luck my year start very bad i lose 180 E on unibet ok i made this bankroll in 3 hour from nothing but anyway to lose 180 E was one punch in my face ( i hope next week i will start to winn again for moment i am on break
Good luck both of you. Jokerstars though do not start many good freerolls so if any one of you want to start rebuilding on an other network then do it without hesitation. Thats the only advice I can give with my stoneheart. Starting from scratch and grinding for the sake of it not really a good recreational activity to anyone so again, best of luck 4 both of you...

best of luck and patience erru- building your roll from zero takes a lot of perseverance and is not for the "i want it now" dudes. then again it is the safest way to build ones roll- there is no chance of losing anything from your own pocket.

I am really sorry for you, that you had to cash out your entire bankroll and I wish you all the luck in this world to reach your goal. But 500 Dollars seems a little bit low to me. One can make 500 just by playing freerolls. Maybe you will earn more.

Thanks everyone for your kind words! I know $500 might seem a bit low but considering that I don't really have that much time to play, it's actually quite a difficult goal for me. If I had more time, it wouldn't be that much of a problem if I can just get a roll going, but I don't have the time so I put $500 as a goal. That way, I will most likely meet my goal and I can feel good about that!

yout: No fair :o you can't join! It'll just become to difficult for anyone else to win :o Oh well, anyone can join I guess so congratulations on your win
Ronin: Didn't you have quite a decent bankroll going? Oh well, can't anticipate running into quads, and knowing you, you probably had a good hand as well! We've all been there, hell, I've even lost with quad Aces Good luck Ronin! We're gonna need it considering yout is playing with us I'm gonna need even more luck tho since you're in it as well
------------ Well, this doesn't really qualify as a significant win but considering the bankroll that I had to work with, it's a huge boost!
I got a $3 bonus to use on casino. I managed to release that bonus and change by playing the roulette. I cashed a total bonus of $4.70 which puts my bankroll up to $5.68 + any winnings from the SnG I'm currently playing.
This means that I can actually start applying some bankroll management. Or well, at least for the lowest level. I'm sticking to my 50 Buy-In rule when it comes to SnG so this means that I can now "afford" to play the lowest stake, which is $0.10. Not that big of a deal, but considering that my bankroll has gone from $0 to almost $6 + a $20 qualifier, I would say that the year has started out quite good.
The next update will be around Wednesday or when I get a significant win.
------------ Alright, things are looking up! I actually completed a mission to earn another $5 cash to my bankroll!
Bankroll currently sitting at $10.68 and with my 50 BI rule, I'm now able to play the $0.20 SnG games!
