This session it just did continue. Im down to 944.87 USD. Ive had some sick beats. Ive lost with AA 3 times, KK 1 time and JJ 3 times.
for example. My last hand KK. I lost against J8. I reraised him from 1 dollar to 4 dollar preflopp and he calls with J8 suited dimonds. FLopp comes AA8. Makes me little scared. He bets I call, turn 1 more dimond which makes 2 dimonds on the table. we bet, and river a dimond and he takes it down.
Another beat was my AA, I reraised preflopp, 1 caller . flopp 7810 rainbow, pretta scary, I bet and he goes allin, im on the foldbutton but I then thugt I was ahead so I called, He shows JQ. Turn is 9 and he makes his str8.
another hand was AA, reraised preflopp. FLopp 45Q. Allin, he shows AQ. River comes Q.
The third was I holding AA, reraised preflopp, flopp comes 238. We going allin, he shows 99. Turn and river is both 9 lol.
A really bad session, unlucky but that happens once ina while..

BBP started to take the piss, grind my way to a nice profit then they set me up FH vs FH i lose big, AA vs KK i lose big kk vs aa i lose (ok thats a fair one) nut str8 all chips in and get backdoord to flush holdin bottom pair?? WTF!! $1 up LMFAO $177.74 336.31
On the bright side i dodged bullets about 6 times with TP
Had a good day today at the tables and felt like sharing lol Whats interesting though is i started off terrible actually, was down almost 30% of my BR and went on horrible tilt and kept losing, even after dropping a limit. Decided to pull the ripcord and left it for a couple hours & came back to not only win it all back, but almost double up my whole bankroll in a 2 or so hour session. Great stuff

Posted by ih8usukouts: I'm currently at Cake and Mansion. At Cake I am using the deposit bonus along with rakeback. At Mansion, I got the NDB and have earned the 3k MCP's needed in order to withdraw. So what I plan on doing at Mansion is pulling out $50 everytime I reach a little over $100.
Why would you want to do this. IMO this is a very bad idea, $100 is barely a bankroll. Keep grinding away and learn to win a little at a time, and it goes a long way.

Agreed. Much better building and if you are good, then maybe take out 1 BI now and again, when one BI = $50 or $100 (i.e your roll is $1.5K +)
And if you don't make, hopefully you have some fun anyway. But reaching a $100 and taking out $50 is bad news, one downswing after that and even if you don't bust but drop to <$20 you're still in a real tight spot.

Not admin or something else but I come here to see progress of grinders. Could we keep this thread status only with no digressions. If you have one, just post it in another thread and leave the link to it in post here. Just and idea. GL to grinders. You can quote something manually using this: [.QUOTE.] <=at the beginning and [/QUOTE.]" at the end. copy/paste the text in between (!! without the dots in quotes, had to put something otherwise its treated as quote
