How many Mobsters don't have a BR at this time and only wish someone would provide them $10, $15 or maybe even $20 to start one. I'm just curious if there's actually Mobsters here in the forum looking forward to the day they can cash their Mobpoints and start a little BR.

1st of all u need to define what u mean by mobster or u'll see many ppl just register to ask for money in ur thread. and in my personal opinion unless u are gonna giv those ppl money to play directly/ indirectly, i find this thread pointless and kinda insulting ( not saying those are ur intentions). and depending on the personality, there is usually a difference between what ppl wish is gonna happen, what they think they'll do and what they'll actually do, when the concerned situation arises. so be sure what u wanna knw and why.

Well I have a roll on about 7 or 8 poker rooms atm (not very big rolls, some over $100 some under). Started playing online poker about 2 years ago with a free$ 50 bankroll from a poker school. Mainly playing for fun in the evening after work.

I don't have a bankroll atm. But would never accept money from someone who I don't know in real life. Nor would I ever give some of my hard earned cash to anyone I don't know in real life. I see this as common sense. To be honest, I deposit about $10-20 a month and just donk it away hoping to luck a big tourney. I will admit I'm a donk, but I'm still up like £400 in my poker career, without grinding, only winning cents every day for a year, like most boring TAG players do.

Good Luck All!
Well I have a BR, not so big about 100 euros.
So I spent some time here on the forum just to read some interesting stuff, hope to win some extra mobpoints. But I have some pokermoney to play with.

If you can't build a bankroll from nothing, then you have little chance of keeping one that's just given to you. The patience and discipline needed to start from nothing is vitally important.
Also, you will value $10 more if it's taken you a week of freeroll grinding to earn, instead of it just being given to you.

I guess it's not to clear that I was just looking for input as to how many Mobsters are really counting on their Mobpoints to give them a start in building a BR. I'm sorry if the way I asked this question is wrong, but thought it was clear. Maybe I should have left the first part of the statement off.
My real issue is, I would like to use the BRM offers toward my BR, but as you know living in the U.S. puts a stop to this opportunity. I didn't know how others felt about having the ability to utilize the offers BRM provides, as some of us can't.
Sorry for any confusion, but I read through all the replies and they are honest and good. Especially people who enjoy the opportunity to start with nothing and build from freerolls. I do believe this prevents reckless play due to the hard earned money spends harder then money that comes with ease.
I always have a bankroll only because of playing freerolls and by taking advantage of every promotion out there this makes playing poker more fun because of no risk involved in playing
i don't always have a bankroll but if i wanted to play i would play some freerolles or deposit. 888 has a $5 min deposit so that is only £2.50 ish. i would like $1000s to play some high stakes just for fun

I agree !! you still so young but have good understanding
To Greenmohave, I know your good intention. ( staking someone ? ) I suggest you will know from this forum who have intention to be serious poker player. Player like that is valueable to get staking, I think . Good luck

route i take with my poker bankroll: play freerolls/take no deposit bonuses/take reload bonuses: basically build roll with none of my money. if i build decent enough roll i withdraw majority of it and get drunk. if i lose it- go through the same route again. hey that makes me a breakeven player at the very min- cause you can't lose anything if you're not depositing huh

I like this statement.
More people should have this apoorach rather than the fairly typical begging that goes on.
I know this is not what Green was looking for, but some thing for nothing and rather work their way according to their means, try and work off someoelses hard work.

Hey! Sounds like life!
Poker is a microcosm of real life!
Actaully what I was looking for is no one to stke, but since I can't see to get the money that mahdrof and admin attempted to get to me from cashing out my Mobpoints I was going to ship the $999.35 I can't withdraw from my Moneybookers account. Without obligation! I don't need a $100 so bad to mahdrof or anyone else including me through a hoop jumping marathon to receive it.
So there's my trye intent! But, I'm going to try to get it setup to a top 10 payout BRM freeroll on CARBON if possible. I'd probably need someone else to do everything since I can't even transfer from my Moneybooke to a pokersite.
Sorry if some people thought I was looking for an investment opportunity!

Green! You earned those points by contributing well to tho forum and taking chances on the draw and re safe. Just keep saving them up until you have the chance to cash them out. Surely it can't be that far off now? But that's just my opinion, if you want to set up a tourney or anything with your points then that's upto you. Personally tho I would just save 'em

So what you are saying green here? You cant even cash out from your Moneybookers account? It wasnt only the fuss about poker sites involved in the transaction? I wonder why they are letting you have an account if you cant do anything with it, besides member to member transfers.
