Posted by mahdrof: Nearly got my bankroll snuffed out today. My recent run on FullTilt has been horrible, bad beats and card dead. I flopped full house yesterday when 9-9-4 came out on the board, two players had trip nines and I had 4-4. We kept raising and re-reraising each other until we were all all-in, and one of them hit full house 999tt on the river.
Was allin with my stack today with QQ when somebody called with KQ and I managed to stay alive until tomorrow.

Not much to report but slowly climbing the mountain again! After almost disappearing a few days ago I now have several shortstack buy-ins, and looking to keep adding slowly. Durrrr has nothing to fear yet!

Good luck ma to your challenge. You are doing fine man. Really nice challenge mate. I think that you will grow your bankroll to 100 dollars really soon. Just remember to grind and not gamble. Good luck at the tables sir.

Rolling along now! Have surpassed the $12 mark after almost disappearing a couple of weeks ago. Just slow and steady growth is what I am looking for, and my aim right now is to hit $40 sometime and start full-stacking (my normal game) 5NL. Pleased that I am not gone.

All right supernoob, here you go! After inching back up over $13, the weekend was again unkind to me and I am slightly below $9. My plan is to continue inching along but soon I want to choose a time where I feel fresh, bring my best game to the table and put in a two hour session, starting off shortstacking two 5NL tables and run it up as high as I can. I am currently playing 100NL with good results, and my 7studHI game on Pokerstars has become very competitive and profitable, so I am sometimes reluctant to use my best poker time to step down to 5NL. Still, I am itching to have more of a roll...

Tonight is the night! I finish work in one hour, my wife has a volleyball game tonight, and once the kids are in bed it'll be rock 'n roll time on FT. Time to sit down at a couple of tables, gulp a cup of coffee, put on the Red Hot Chili Peppers as my soundtrack and put in a good session. More later...

Busted! !@#$%^&*()(*&^%$#@!#$%^&
Nothing was working Friday night, even switched to 6person turbo which I normally do well at and couldn't do anything. Similar to when I ended my VC freeroll challenge, the final hand was a deusy: trip jacks on the turn, pot was $2, opponent holding AK suited with flush draw since the flop, shoved my final $2 to force him off, he reached for extra time and then made the call and flush. I guess that proves that I don't only give badbeats but also get them!
It was fun playing cash on FT, and I don't rule out returning with a decent deposit, and playing for the first deposit bonus. I liked the software and was really surprised by how well the players played at that level (5NLHE). At all other places I have played microstakes, a raise of 4bb with AK is called by everything under the sun, especially if soooooooooted! But at FT, for the most part it was respected as representing strength, even if it only amounted to a $0.20 raise. GL on the tables ladies and gents.
