Ok .......I'm gonna deposit $200 into my Fulltilt account this weekend and I'll play at a higher level than normal. This is a vein attempt to get more profit i'll start at a higher level and if every thing go's well i'll have enough to make a withdrawal by Monday morning..... If all go's wrong then I wont deposit any more this month or next...lol (said that before)
I have tried to build a bankroll time after time and after a few great / good runs i've come crashing down to earth so i'llnow try a different approch.
If all go's well i'll withdrawal half then use the other half to build my bankroll.

i think it's a good idea, <$100 is ridiculous trying to build a roll in any decent amount of time, with $200 at least you can play some better games and observe better bankroll management.

just a piece of advice; you should have a bankroll management strategy, that is you need to have at least 250 big blinds in your bankroll if you go to a certain table, if your about only a 100, go down to the next lower limit, if lucky you go up again.... and so on...

i think its a gud idea if that 200$ doesn't hurt ur pocket, would be wise to have some strategy as to when start bankroll management if u get lucky/ have a gud run. you surely don't wanna building and then crashing again. gl and keep us updated
It's a good chance to increase your bankroll. I think it's a good idea. 200$ is not such money. People usually waste this money in more stupid things ... Good luck!

OK then week end over.... so how did I do?
CRAP I played like a wet tissue. I get through the original $200 that was actually $240 that I deposited, that lasted only 30min on those newish RUSH poker games on FTP I was gutted but not to waste a whole weekend I deposited another £100 approx $160 / $180 cant remember for sure. That went aswell with in 30 min........ I cant even remember any hands other than my QQ Vs AQ (lost that to an A on the turn) And some guy that called all the way to the river with a flush and straight draw and get the straight on the river. So my wicked weekend was a total wash out leaving me with a massive whole in the weekend (no poker)....lol God its so funny how bad it went. I could have smashed the PC up but I didnt........I deposited another £50...$80 odd so I'll have another stab when ive calmed down a little.
My game was crap and I know this I think I was so wrapped up in this new Rush poker thing I didnt really think about stratergy, just kept clicking the fold botton till I got some good cards then started to get too aggressive I guess. So to sum up ......I played crap Lost too much money and didn't enjoy the game one little bit. I'll have a short break (say 12 hours) then try again but now I've got some catching up to do...lol

wow lost so much so quick ......... glad i dont have money to spare ... and play real careful with what i do have ..... but then it would be nice to splash out once in a while ......... But then again no .. if you didnt have any fun and lost it all so quickly it dosent seem worth it ......
What i think i would do if i was you though if you have money is to put maybe a $100 a week into a site for 5 to 10 weeks and then use this as a proper bankroll and play seriously and build it .... probably get more fun out of it and make some decent money in the process

Posted by Davoodoo: Buy in for 88$ on 1/2 blinds sounds like a good plan ... at least you wont waste your time.
Try to capture your play with fraps or some similar program ... much more fun to see a video instead of reading boring text handhistories
Yeah i did have Elephant but it keep messing with my P.C. for some reason so I had to delete it.
------------ OK just played two games first was $20 9 seater turbo and i played well....actually come 2nd for $59 Then played $28 9 seater super turbo and got 2nd again for $75
Thats it for tonight im happy but lets see what tomorrow brings.

Hi! everyone So has burned $ 200 you should attempt 3 or 4 tournament with a big prize pools. At least you try you got lucky for a large sum and you amuse little more than rush poker. Otherwise try the casino for fun lol!
