Hello all, @cdnpokerplr here
Just as I said months ago I would start a blog on my Microstakes and Freeroll tournaments accomplishments. I am currently out of a job so I do not have the luxury of depositing onto Pokerstars or any other site.
In January I said I would not deposit however made a small one and have no had any luck but managed to reach chrome star with only a 10 dollar bankroll at the time. Anyways to make a long story short, My bankroll dried up due to the massive swings on the Zoom tables however this is how I earn my VVP's fast.
To date I am sitting at 894 vvps, I managed to rake in almost to silver star this month, I am 38 VVPs away from it and my bankroll right now is at nothing. I managed to cash in about a 1.50 in total in 2 freerolls, I turned that into about 32 dollars until I hit a massive slump the other night and lost it all and short on VVPs for this month so hoping I can manage a freeroll cash or 2 and hit the tables. Dontations are always appreciated however I am not asking.
My goal by year end is to have at least 500-1000 bankroll without a deposit however I may have to in order to get moving again.
Anyways: Starting Bankroll : 0.00 - April 23/2014
Freeroll winnings since this blog started: .57c Donations: 10.00 Current Bankroll $14.28 Current FPP Balance 15.07 Current Year vvp 963.62

i wanted to make a donation, but then saw that you are not asking, so i went to the shop and bought me some beer. i also saw that you want mobbits to wish you luck- sure no problem- that's free so why not? wish you best of luck at the tables, under the tables, in between the tables and in your life in general.

I find it quite offensive on your post, I live in Ontario, edmonton is 3000 kms away, I have family and 4 kids to deal with. I am far from Lazy man
I have worked construction since the age of 13 I worked as a Lead hand maintenance technician for over 10 years at a huge cable company, I worked with fiber optics, broadband and voip on a daily basis. I was terminated, work in Ontario is hard to find. My marriage is in ruins because the last 2 years going to alberta working the oil sands. I said I am unemployed yes, But I made 40k last year sitting on my ass most of the time and when I did go out west to work I made a killing. I am low on funds and getting by, I start school in a month so wanna call me lazy....cummon dude, grow up you dont know me.,

actually if you know anything about canada, then it depends on where you live, yes in the western provinces there is more work available then the eastern provinces,so it depends on where he lives. here in ontario there is work but depends on the skills you have. so maybe you should do some research, before you start laughing your balls off.

I have a computer science degree, No work as it is out of date....I did not have to keep up with it for the job I had however I was in school for my master technician certification which allows me to work in the USA, I live 5 minutes from the border however noone in Michigan is hiring right now either. My next option is paid for by 2nd career and its to get my trucking licenses, then If I decide to work out west on a fly in fly out basis like I have in the past I will surpass 150k a year. Here in Ontario it seems more like who you know not what you know anymore. I worked for an environmental company (Pinchin environmental) as a project technologist working with environmental engineers....way out of my league of work however I knew my managers and knew how to do inspections without the education so based on my experience its who you know alot of times.

it always was gl with your poker goal, noticed some good samaritan was there to help, but if you go busto without reaching 500 vpp im sure we'll be able to think of something its brm afterall, mobbits should help each other, especially in cases like this one imo. if i were 30 vpp short of silver and unable to deposit, heck id go ask for a loan just not to waste all those vpps earned so far

sorry but it just makes no sence to me that forigner can come to Canada and find a job, but local people cant. i c that u are educated and guess thats why u would not take any job out there and thats good if u ask me.i just red my first reply it sounds ...well yea offensive .did not ment to sound like that, i just wanted to say is that i dont understand how you cant find a job but immigrants can, becaouse my friend has told me that you have many job avalible but here in Croatia u are s**t. u can have any master degree and u will not find job easy if at all. hope u find something my friends father drives trucks in Canada he is making alot of money not bad job at all.

In canada the canadian will help forigners find work before it will help canadians, I worked with a guy, when they came to canada the government supplied them with everything, apt, furniture and even a brand new computer, to help them. but if your canadian you get nothing, even if you need to go on welfare, they don't even give enough to cover rent on apt. but a forigner everything is paid.

I waS ON welfare until EI kicked in, then they took penny for penny from me after t repay welfare and left me without any money in the last month, next payment is tuesday so praying..
Anyways back to the starting bankroll of about 10.40, little bit of a slump but I am 4 vvps away from my goal, I only need 1 more for my weekly mission ticket too.
------------ Well I hit my Silverstar status finally but my bankroll perished after.....I did not play stupid by any means but I lost about 1/2 of what I had in 3 hands in a row...
AK - flop hits AKQ, opponent shoves, I call he has pocket aces AA Flop hits KQQ, opponent bets, I call, K on turn and well we know what the other guy now has 9/10s Flop hits J,Q,8, I 4 bet, opponent to the left calls instantly, turn hits 2, he shoves and I call. River comes up A, opponent had K/10os
------------ Taking a break for a few days if I can hold off
