you know how it is ... you aim for something like on the 01/01/2014 i will have from xxx$ - 100k$ the real aim for this is to get at least 50% from the target .... but it can back fire ... the more realistic the goal the more chances you have to getting there ... you know your power ... but you never know how many fishes you will manage to find in all the game you aim for ... the only way for you to get to 25k in 3 mounts is to win at least 2-3 small tournaments 1k-5k a week from now on .... or for the first 2mounts get around 5000k and go for a big one 100k-1kk.... and you will get there ....good luck none the less

Real talk.
And especially about the fishes. So many times I'm missing out on FT or big money due to utter fucktards who have no idea what they are doing.
I wish you all the best however. You need time, patience, a good cunk of luck and most importantly discipline. Do this while you're young or have the chance - I wish I had grinded when I was 18 all day while I had no responsibilities.

tell me about it ... sounds nice to be 18 again no worries nothing but time to kill playing poker ... those skills you form them in time ... but doesn't matter how patient you are and how disciplined because at some point you will snap .... so many fishes ruined good hands for me or who knows ... what is hard to be live for me is how the .... they managed to get in 250 000 $ - 1 000 000$ games ... i'm starting to be live that luck is the mother of fools (fishes)...

G'day mates
It has been a while since I posted anything. It turns out I did not have the flu after all. On Sunday September 22nd at 11 am I was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. The doctors started running a battery of test and after a few hours informed me that I required emergency surgery. I signed the forms they stuck in front of me and they gave me more Dilaudid and morphine every three hours to keep me comfortable until Tues afternoon at 3pm when the finally wheeled me into surgery. Well of course nothing for me ever goes easy and they ran into complications the procedure took 4 hours longer then they said it would and then there was some problem in the recovery room as well. I just got out of the hospital yesterday Sept 30th and arrived home at 4pm. Not doing much still on good meds for pain. It has been a heck of a few weeks with illness to say the least. played the 100K freeroll today just for something to do and made $0.63 had no internet in the hospital
Will actually start really working on building my bankroll in about another week. I need to heal some more and just get my head together. The tell me I almost died. Told them it would not happen as the devil wants me hear to suffer more be cool mates wishing you all the best

Thank you very much for the well wishes. Well I now officially give up on my original goal of 25K by the new year as my health and luck have just been way to bad this year to make any positive head way. My new goal is to get as healthy over the next month as I can then make a new deposit if needed. Going to grind away at freerolls this month just for fun and maybe make a little profit. My new goal is just going to be to make $500 a month in November and December. It with be a positive cash finish to the overall year but no where near the 25K I wanted but I need to be realistic at this point. My doctor says my health is such that he does not even want we to consider playing any games which will take more than 2 hours at a time. He says he would prefer I not try and do anything which causes me stress at all, but he knows I am still going to play poker so he wants me to be reasonable and limit my daily play time for the sake of my health. Going to be tested on Dec. 03,2013 for cancer in my left leg, life really sucks at times.
Well enough whine from me mates Good luck and health to you all be cool

Thank you all very much. One way or another things will eventually work themselves out. We all know life can be a challenge at times. Sure all my friends here on BRM all have their own problems too. Some of you might even be going through more BS then I am. I wish you all the very best. Be cool

hey Ronin- wish u best of health, pretty sure you will be better. your doctor might be right u know- there's no need to put extra stress on yourself...building your roll from freerolls is a safe approach and some fun in the process (like when your AA's get cracked by 26 off). never give up cheers

Well Ronin hope your doctor will have some good news for you in december.....
Meaningwhile you could try to play at terminal poker (not a joke.. real site)
the freerolls take for +/- 1 hour (speed poker) with a relative small player field.
If you google it there will be a no deposit bonus to find ... (ypc)
if you have some money there you play 10 rakes hands and can play a 75 euro freeroll
and on sundays a 400 euro freeroll (100 rakes hands needed)

Well I am still feeling like crude slug on the bottom of a used oil can but I have played a couple freerolls just for something to do. made myself $0.93 Lol that is a monster bankroll eh
Well it is enough for me to sit down at a .01/.02 cash table. Only need to earn 2 Vpp's to clear a VIP cash bonus for $10 which would easily restart my bankroll. I also got the money in my wallet to purchase another $50 UKash to reload my bankroll again if I chose too. Right now I am still taking it real easy. be cool mates

You might have shoved to isolate here; the money is going in anyway, if someone else would have shoved right? Better use that folding equity to your advantage...
Folding would be fine too, but just calling is the worst play here IMO...

Dude play some freerolls like I have been doing. I know that a few cents here and there does not seem like much. It does add up however to a workable level if you have a little patience. You will find that most people on poker forum sites no longer give money to players they do not know. You should and will need to establish yourself before you can ask people for money. I know there are people on this forum who would loan me money if I asked them too. I would also help those same people out if they asked me for help. The difference is we all know each other and have a respect for each other. We have worked together in the past with positive results. We do not know you and your posts all seem to be begging posts. Begging this way is against the rules of this forum. Dude if you are any good then you can build from nothing using the freerolls over time. Prove yourself and stop asking strangers to fund your poker habit. I do wish you all the best I swear this post was NOT meant to be negative in any way, and I hope you find success. be cool

Well I am back at it again. Made a deposit of $48.28 Played on 5 tables of 0.05/0.10 NL and now I have a bankroll of $61.86 Not a bad start to my new ascent to the bankroll challenge which I have given myself. Yes I know I said I was going to wait until the start of next month but I had an extra $50 just drop into my lap from playing some live poker So I decided to just use it to make an early deposit and play some poker. Never hurts to give yourself a little extra time to make some cash Best of luck to us all mates Be cool
