Till friday I managed to make out of 10 euro, 100 dollar playing sng's and tourneys.......
friday night I went out to the pub with a few mates and got hammered back.......... Poker became gambling as I dont have any boundaries when I had a few drinks..... 100 dollar became 3 dollar in 6 minutes...... not really propper BRM.
So I sended the 3 dollar to my ft account.( as I needed to clear 1 more day for the take two bonus) and went to bed.
On saturdy I clearde the 5th day in take two with those three dollars and was left with 81cent wich I transferd back to my ps acc. So I was back at playing freerolls to build up my bankroll. Played a 150 freeroll (ft) and became 6th, wich gave me 6dollar 75 Played the dutch freeroll and came 5th another 6 dollars Also played daily edge (25ft points) rtg.... came in here with first 100 , so got a Ringgame ticket for 5 dollar.
So in one night FT gave me 17 dollar 75 on three freerolls, played them thight kept the pots low and it was actually pretty easy.....
I have cashed this week 5 more times in the Ft freerolls (3 x dutch, 2 x normal 150).
these freerolls are with a max of 7500 players and first 15 minutes is a real donkfest but if u are patient enough a good way to build up a bankroll.....
Now I will stick to the sng's and tournaments, as I know things will be ok as long as I dont play zoom.

Well most of them are not actually freeroll as long as you have to pay some full tilt points to play. Anyway your story motivate me to play those tourneys, so I'm logging in full tilt to try to get some money ahhaa.

Well I was sorry to read about your getting drunk and pissing away your bankroll the way one pisses away the booze. Glad to here however that you are doing well in the freerolls to rebuild you bankroll. Keep up the good work in that regard. Wishing you all the best.

Do you fancy bringing some smoke and come over to NZ for a few beers and a game of poker, 15 minutes or so should be enough time, lol

Posted by Macubaas: Zoom/rush can be profitable but you need a lot of experience to become a winning player there.
If you manage to win good at mtt/sng i say to stick to that until you build up a serious br, then you can try other game too
The whole zoom, rush thing turns me in a gambler.....should just stay away from it works best for me...

True, but there are 150 dollar free rolls each 2 hours, while there 's also a round 1 wich makes u qualify for weekly freeroll faerly easy....good luck

Right, that's why you should NEVER drink any alcohol when playing poker (at home). No, not even 1 glass of beer. This is very underestimated in my opinion.
If you seriously want to make money from poker, you should do everything to put yourself in a situation where you can be 100% concentrated. One little loose thinking moment can make you lose all your money, and it will too!
Even make sure you eat good, are in good fysical condition is all part of it. Make sure you have no disturbing noises in the house. It's a discpline.
