I had a weird session last night. I lost £3 due to some variance then I started to run in god mode and jumped from £7 to £15 on two tables of speed(Number 1 rule of speed, leave when your doing well ). I then tried bluffing that I had an Ace when someone had QQ and after losing that I just could not win a hand or flop anything. I also had a set of 9's but my internet decided to crash and I lost that pot as I was timed out.
Still have a£10 bankroll so everything is good still.

Been a few days since I updated here. My Ladbrokes bankroll is all but gone because my mate was drunk and lost it playing HU and lost some weird flips. I knew he was on my laptop but not on my poker account. I had 60p left but failed playing lots of small SNG's when it counted.
I thought it would be a great time to deposit a small amount at Party Poker and see what that was like so I played it for a few hours last night. Quite enjoying it so far, especially like those missions and achievements(Already unlocked nearly 40 achievements and completed two missions in those 2 hours) and the 6 man SNG's and micro tables seem soft to me which was good. Ended the night on small profit.
Getting addicted to small man SNG's now so they can be a good break from cash tables when I need them.
Ended up getting my account blocked last night tried to sign into the website so currently talking to a slow customer service guy right now so hope to have it sortedsoon.
------------ Upto $19.60 so far. Doing really well today as well. Played a few speed hands as needed to for my mission and also just won a $1 SNG and a 50 cent SNG as was doing them for a mission as well. Won a few free tickets all ready. Few free SNG tickets, some freeroll for merchandise and one big one to enter a $5000 cash booster MTT which I may play in an hour.

The missions can really boost the bankroll.
did you sign up through brm?
No unfortunately. I signed up before I knew of BRM, so a shame I missed out on a bonus and those special freerolls.
Won both SNG's I have used with those tickets and doing well in this poker nights rockside final MTT I am in. 283/1749 left I am sitting on a modest 12k.
Bankroll now on £16 odd. Was only £5 yesterday but a cash win, lots of SNG's, those tickets, some fast tables and of course the missions have bumped me up nicely.
------------ Really fucking hate freerolls. Just spent three and a half hours playing my ass off. I get KK and get a limp and a push before me so re-push all in and two others called. I was safe on the turn as was about to win 300k chips and someone hits a fucking flush. Every time I get really deep and I get a change to really boost my chips suckouts always happens. Bubbled with two to go as well.
I think it goes to show freerolls and MTT's are pointless and a waste of time for me as I can never do really well as some s**t always happens. I had a feeling before I was going to reach the FT, but as usual someone who has no reason to donk with AJs after 4 all in's before(And chip leader on the table go figure) has to hit something.
Pissed off. Waste of time MTT's are.
------------ That is out of my system now, sorry for the outburst. It's just not often I do well in big prize freerolls and everytime I do I always get buggered over. Maybe its just freerolls are people take a chance at that stage of being deep and suckouts happens.
Oh well back to my SNG missions and cash grinding,hopefully making profit will cheer me up.

Fed up with myself and this site today. Was doing well up to £23 then had a few fish chasing(When I had sets or a PP/Standard) and hitting, then lost a massive pot against AA on the flop when I had AJs top pair and a flush draw but did not hit. Then started tilting three quarters of my bankroll off on a bluff and crap and got called down with one pair on a three card flush board, but hey, he had an Ace for a nut flush draw so he was always going too.
Add this to not being able to win any money in any SNG's today and just the whole day being shite and you have a bad day.
£5.16 bankroll so today i'll either make some back or be busto, but a break is needed or i'll tilt everything away. Joke game + me a joke player = unhappy life.

Stop playing for now, this is my advice or you'll throw those money away...
Take a day or two off from poker and then try again. It's true that with 5 dollars you can go busto then too but at least you have better chances than today

I have stopped. I was only playing a MTT I have pre-joined earlier.
And yeah I won't log on today as I have so much anger in me right now I would deffo lose everything as well as probably smashing something. Poker sometimes lol.
------------ A day off yesterday and most of today was well needed. I won some money back as I played a friend and he spewed all of his chips away to me. Just played on a fastforward table and I was up $1 until someone donked all of his $8 roll with 1010 and I had KK. He hit a river straight to take my BI. As usual I get fucked over when I could have won a big part of my lost bankroll back.
My record with all in's with KK are getting really stupid now. It's like a guaranteed loss. Still have £4 left so still not out, but I should be on or over £10. Standard poker.
but yea ... i have cooled down (sorta) from becoming a poker pro and now im just playing for fun. Not saying making money is impossible (because its not, because even i have made some ) im just not sure if its worth it... that stress and whatnot, sure if i could become one of those people that dont care at all if they lose 5 90-10 hands in a row it would make it much much better... but sadly im not on of them, and losing a few stupid hands in a row still makes me somewhat tilty. and every runner runner caught vs me shortens my life for a few months
oh well, either way gl with your 4 pounds phi :=))

All gone mate(Well apart from like 20p). Nice AA vs 1010 set for me and as usual it sets a nice board where it looks like I am ahead. Things could have different if I won that KK vs 1010 flip earlier but like I said. Standard. Managed to go three days playing well before they turned off that usual "new player must do well switch" Nah only joking, my fault for tilting last night.
Can try some chicken feed SNG's later see if I can win some back. Also in a MTT right now so if I can reach the money going busto won't matter.

I think it's just the variance in fast cash tables that always ruin me. Who donk's $8 UTG though, but never mind. I am also fed up with the amount of luck people get as well, it's stupid.
I do have some money in my bank for depositing on 888 so I may do that later.
------------ Or maybe not. All these poker sites have s**t minimum deposit rules. Looks like freerolls for me. How fun.
Out of that MTT as well. Was doing well until our table got a massive chip stack player and of course he gets all of the lower card suckouts and set ups in his favourite. Such a fucking bulls**t game it really is. Just like everyone else in life, bulls**t.
Supposedly the minimum deposit amount has gone up from £5.75 to £10 in three days on PP. How can it just go up in a few days? Low price to entice you in I guess. Have to wait until next week now if I want to deposit.

well winner doesnt have that, i believe. when i first started i got free cash from brm (on winner), won some and cashed it all out, then a few days later i just wanted to play a few cash games and i think i was able to deposit just 5 bucks but that was last year ... when i was still a newbie, unlike today.
but yea you should try winner, its ipoker just like ladbrokes (i think ladbrokes is ipoker too?) so it probably shares same players pool too
at least its not WH, i remember when i used to bet there, min deposit was $20

I have £3.99 left in my bank(After a messy two days of drinking and socializing) Used £3 on 888 before but for some reason they are $10 minimum deposit now as well. Wish the minimum was £1 I could grind that with some small SNG's.
Speaking of SNG's. I am able to play two double or nothings, so I will see if I can grind to $1/$2 by tonight doing these(Edit: Just one won now so a tiny bit extra)

Same. Been on a drinking sesh for the last three days and I am paying for it now.
Just spent the last 2 hours playing in the Party Poker $5000 cash booster and I made it to the last 300 people was in the top 30 with 120k chips and was guaranteed $3. As usual I get AK over value it and end up getting put against someone with A10 and QQ after the flop and me being an idiot always think I am good. I had a feeling I was going to go further but as usual I have to bugger it all up.
Finished 267th/7628 in the end and have a tiny bankroll to play with. Really upset with how I played that AK and being hungover and set on auto pilot did not help after doing as well as I did. Maybe this is why I will never make a FT with biggish money.
Such an idiot.
------------ God I love Party Poker and it's missions. With that $3 I won I managed to complete a SNG mission and used the $5 ticket I won and managed to win using a double or nothing SNG and now I have a more safe $13.36 to play with. Luckily there was a aggressive calling station player who kept sucking out on people to help move it along but I managed to take 3k chips off him when he's lame bluffs would not trick me.
Going to stick to micro cash tables and double or nothing SNG's (as I seem to do really well on them double or nothing SNG) and I need to stay away from speed tables for the time being. 100th times the charm with the bankroll.
Hopefully I can some how manage to finish the last SNG mission and take that $10 ticket and do what I just did with the $5 for a little boost.

I managed to do a few SNG's last night and took the easiest mission down(Knock out two players on the same table) I need to play two more SNG's today for the next one then it's the hardest one left winning two SNG's in a row.
You must have had to play one with top 2 winners, but I prefer the double or nothing SNG's for my free tickets so I have a 50% chance to win something as the three remaining win. Not as much as your win but $18/$19 for me right now would be a big BR boost for me.
Will see how today goes. What missions do you actually have list from your lists?
------------ Just need to win two SNG's in a row now then I have completed all of the SNG missions.
Also, I am running deep in tonight's 888 SNAP freeroll. 206/255 at the moment. 10 BB left so may push with a big hand in a min instead of waiting around for my blinds to swindle. Hoping to beat the next 51 so I can get $4 to play with but we shall see if my luck is still golden.
Two small cash outs in two days of freerolls gives me some much needed confidence for MTT's.
------------ Had 3 BB left so thought pushing with A8o against one person was the best thing I could do(Obviously is a bigger stack) against his 55. Of course I don't hit my over cards but he hit a five to rub it in(Hate when that happens lol). Maybe next time I can get even deeper.
Made $3.50 though so maybe a chance to make something at 888 again.
). I then tried bluffing that I had an Ace when someone had QQ and after losing that I just could not win a hand or flop anything. I also had a set of 9's but my internet decided to crash and I lost that pot as I was timed out.
