And I am out. Blinds were getting big earlier and my 1010 ran into a short stacks AA then pushed with 55 with my last 300 and ran into 99. Was playing well until the 1010 call but was either running even's or just over. Always a higher pair Furthest I have got in that all week. Tomorrow will be different.
How you doing still, Ice?
888 is probably my preferred site to play on now. It's the easiest to use, nicest look and less crap than other sites for me. It used to be ladbrokes before they ruined it by going from Microgaming to Ipoker. You should use those tickets up Ronin it's a fun freeroll since it's insta fold.
Also won a BI on ladbrokes so bankroll now on £10.

I wasent for once. Was up to 3000 at one point then card dead until that AA run in. There is always tomorrow. Do you actually know how long these SNAP freerolls are running for?

Aww crap that is gay then, I have been enjoying these. Least I have enough tickets until the end.
Those Suarez freerolls are on too late for me too(or was it too early). It's a good thing I have this free Ladbrokes bankroll and Iron to Bronze freerolls until I start losing my 888 status, unless I can double or triple my bankroll on ladbrokes withdraw some and put it on 888 for more SNAP love.
------------ First day back playing at ladbrokes and I have a losing session. All the right calls and raises but losing to junk chasers as usual and weird calls. Should be up £5 but luckily down just under break even(Break even from what I won earlier) so no biggie.
Hopefully tomorrow variance will favour me. +1 for no moaning today though.
------------ Second day and my first sessions of today have gone rather well. Was playing 2 fullring tables and managed to win back up to £10. Will take these players calling me street 3 bets with TPMK when I had TPMK or a set any day of the week.
Also had a quick blast on speed poker and managed to crack AA and also got a short stack limper to called my QQ push so made another £2.30.
Bankroll siting on a modest £12.50 now. Still quite small so I need to get to £20 or over before I feel safer.
------------ This is why I hate freerolls and players thinking any A-rag is good. It seems to be a hand that wins more often than most. With his raise in that position I put him on 1010-kk A10s-AJs maybe smaller pockets but no set's. Players like that usually donk off AK on the turn if they get called down so thought I was good. Did not expect him to have A8o. Was playing quite well before that happened.

G'day mate
I know what you mean, I really do. The sites just keep letting dumbass idiots win over and over to keep them paying high rake. It makes me sick at times. We need to play within our bankrolls to succeed. best of luck mates be cool

I was doing quite well until some one limped in with QQ and the board naturally gives me TPTK with AJ and you can tell what happened. Last chance tomorrow to win something but for some reason it seems really hard to progress well in these freerolls now for some reason.
Ronin, you should try tomorrow as well since you have a spare ticket.
------------ Been a good and winning day for me. Not played slow normal tables on the micros for a while but I have been crushing today, although not really won that great of money but been playing TAG and everything is going well. Been playing a mixture of 6 max and fullring. bankroll feels a bit safer but still a way to go. Think I will follow strict BRM this time as I want to start making proper money.

ah great to see u got some br again phi, gz
just try to umm... manage it a bit better, so you dont go busto in 2 cash hands :=P and gl with your remaining 888 freerolls, hope u can get some cash there too, having more than 1 br is always good, i just got a mail from pkr telling me i still got 30ish $ there so it was nice surprise. i kinda forgot to reinstall that one after i formatted my pc, but since yesterday i cashed out most of my stars balance (new monitor for free, ty stars ) ima give pkr another shot.
Althro i didnt really liked their ... well, most of it though, i guess it was just too big of a change after playing at ipoker and stars first, playing in 3d just felt weird

Yeah I need to refrain from taking big shots at higher stakes once I make more bankroll. Going to try and stay on 20bi's at least on every stake. If I managed to get enough BR for 10NL I may go nitty and not jump up to the next one until I have 30 BI's as I know what I am like.
Hoping to finish tonight on at least £20 to be in my safety zone but we shall see what variance has in store for me.
I have a few 888 freerolls a day so there is always a chance but for some reason I just cant do well in any since last week. Last SNAP freeroll today as well so I need to end it with a bang!
Edit: My 888 SNAP freeroll tickets are still usable until 5th of next month. So I can still use up the 18 tickets I still have left. Nice.
------------ Why is it every time on I poker speed tables if I get QQ/KK/AA everyone on the table folds or there is a higher pocket pair. Starting to think I am cursed on these tables. At least on 888 and Stars this doesnt happen as much. At one point in three hands in a row I was against KK, then QQ then AA. Funny variance.

I will check tomorrow and tell if it is still on. If they are valid still we should be all good.
You playing tonight then I take it? Just having a freeroll warm up in the Iron one. Was up to 8k then check-donked on a 60/70% straight and flush draw combo. No luck though but still doing well.

I have been playing well. Most people are scared of any raise when I am in position. Currently on 6k chips so much better then this last week. See you at the FT
------------ Out in 616th. Went card dead and the blinds started eating my stack away. Pushed my last 2.5k with KJ and ran into AK. Finally made the money but very annoying that I stopped getting anything decent.
