i think the only real solution for solving this problem is to take matter in your hands- you should head to party poker hq and demand a cashout in the form of cold hard cash, then take that money and visit the hq of pokerstars and give them that money as a deposit. no nonsense with digital cash, processing, transfers etc. just give em the real deal- the real toilet paper.

pinotte i have seen canadians, say come to canada after the black friday for that im 100% sure. But that aint that important. Dont you have problems with online payments like skrill and netteler, or im wrong.
And what ronin is saying here? :
I have rechecked the information given to them and it is correct. Contacted my credit union and have been informed that due to NEW Canadian banking laws which have been passed by our Fracking government they are no longer legally allowed to accept direct deposits from online gambling sites.
So its a banking law ?

Listen Mober Yes skrill and netteler do no business in Canada why i dont know. Now read my post and i am telling you that i had made 2 transactions on Party Poker and 3 PokerStars directly from and to my bank. Also read Ronin last post he is saying that some peoples he know do not have problem with their bank and it is probably because he is dealing with a credit union instead of the Canadian large bank. If it was banking law my bank would have refused the transactions i made.

G'day mates
Ok I have had enough of Party Poker. I have decided to just make a deposit into my PokerStars account and move forward with the challenge. I asked my friend to pick me up two Ukash tickets for $30 each so I could take advantage of the MEGABONUS promo which PStars is running right now. Well he went to the store and they told him they did not offer $30 tickets so told the clerk I needed $30 UKASH tickets so they sold him two $15 tickets to make up $30. I am pissed about this because it did not allow me to get the bonus promo deal, and I had to pay for 2 UKASH tickets. So I spent $34 CND to get 2 useless $15 ukash tickets. I deposited them both at a rate of $11.19 US each. So I am starting the challenge again today on PStars with just $22.38
Current Bankroll is now 22.38
Going to play some poker and will update you all later.

bowie I agree with you 100% amigo. I did not start with the bankroll I wanted but I decide to just make do with what I had and do my best to build up my bankroll. I played 2 poker sessions today and they were both positive sessions.
My new bankroll total is now 39.67
Tomorrow I am hoping to continue to build my bankroll upward by playing a couple more long grind sessions. Today I played for a little over 6 hours and I am please with my total. Hoping to do just as much grinding tomorrow with equally good results. Wishing you all the best

You started again with the best possible way, with good wins, one after another. Dont forget your latest lesson and stay in your comfortable zone. No need to rush it., since the profit you have made so far is a very good one. Already more than double

It is now Sunday Aug, 16th at 7:50 am. I will begin to play my 1st poker session of the day at 8 am. I will be starting my day with a bankroll of $51.43. Why the lower bankroll you ask? Well it is simple amigos, I played 3 tournaments and 2 spin & go's yesterday and did not cash in any of them. The total cost of those five attempts was $11.75, I also dropped a buy in on a NL2 table during the same bad run of cards. Hoping today to do much better. Will update you all later. wishing you all the best. Ronin

Not a big draw down. That is still in the menu But if you keep performing mostly like you do in the ring games that wont be a problem. You can win the losses back in one good session. So keep your mind to it, and head straight to the cash out goal.

Just thought I would give you all an update. I have been grinding away at the tables. I also tried to play 2 tournaments and i did not make the money in either, so that was a loss of $3.55 worth of buyin's. I Started today with a bankroll of $51.43
The new current bankroll is 56.33
I has been a long day of grinding for what seems like very little gain. I need a nap since I have been awake since 6 am and it is now 3 pm, I did not sleep well last night at all. might play another session later. I will not be playing this weeks Sunday Storm.

I really think that you should stay to your plan which was ring games and grind there. Yesterday you tried tournaments and spin & go with a loss of $11.75 and again today lost $3.55 in tournaments so your BR would be $15.30 more than it is now. Good luck for continuation but just follow your plan.

I will be taking a few days off for health reasons. I am sick and just can not focus on playing well right now. be back at it in a few days Ronin
------------ Update
I friend told me that my message might make people think I have busted out my bankroll. I have not done that, I just am not feeling well physically. I will be taking a break till I feel better. might try a few freeroll or something if I feel up to it. Ronin

Have a good rest to come back in good health and continue your challenge. However i saw that you are playing very long hours that could be stressful and not to good for your health.
IMO you should not play these long sessions there is nothing urgent in getting your goal.
for that im
22.38
< You guys MUST use InstaDebit..... It is the BEST way to move cash around, all the while keeping it in your ewallet for instant use with no fees...!!! Because of that,...I've had enough in there to make 3 MEGABONUS deposits, and a 100K deposit, and cash in BIG time...!!!
But hey , that's only me )) Good luck , and keep grinding it up
