Gonna have a little challenge for myself playing the 1$ 4x shootout 256mans. Gonna play 30 between tonight and tomorrow with the hopes of winning ticket/breaking even. Will post all results here. Odds of winning a ticket are aginst me so main goal will be to atleast break even.am only gonna gamble with 30$ so gonna call starting roll 30$. will start in about an hour wish me luck.
------------ I will post results after every 8 games, so i can screen shot sharkscope. Donno how long they take to fill and only have 2 hours to play tonight so tomorrow will be the majority. If i get a ticket i will donate 25% to a lucky member or if i make any money above my 30$ i will donate a minimum of 25%

If u breakeven it's good, if u get a ticket it's better but if you just make money above your initial $30 and you'll feel generous just put into the easter home game's prizepool, do not donate anybody anything.

I wish you good luck in your challenge to pick up a ticket for the bigg tournament.
For once i would agree with bowie since you want to donate and you realize a profit the i also would suggest that you give that for one of the home game.
However its your money and if you decide to give it to a mobber that would be very good to.
Wish you the best o luck be the poker god be with you.

nice try, still other half to come... i'm pretty sure that if you win it, the only proper way of doing it is with your last attempt. pokerstars is pretty much hollywood in disguise.
no one should read this line, since it is here only for collection of 10 mobpoints.

Good luck to you mate with your challenge. I already have a ticket for the sunday million and the best about it is that it cost me nothing at all, because I got it via a promotion. I finished in the top 5 in a tournament with nearly 2000 player. You need a lot of luck, but it is doable as I proofed.

Looks like a very hard task. GL to you with your plans. How is the payout structure of these ? Just saw that 6th place got nothing... I try a different way. I will play the $1 qualifier to the $11 deadline sat. Played one yesterday evening and already won a ticket, so that was a good start...

good luck my friend and i think you will need it because in these hyper SNG , we see lot of all-ins early on , and most of them with silly hands i hope you make it and win yourself a ticket
that 6th place surley hurt , you were so close but still 15 to go , i am sure you will do better and hopefully take it down

Wow! $30 gone in a flash. While I thought you would fail, (sorry) I thought you might at least cash in a couple or so of them. Pretty hard going. Have you done any analysis of your play and where you could have done better? Don't let the $30 just go, but benefit in terms of improving your play!
