BAD Bang goes 25% of the BR on golf (unless something drastic happens fast). Bang goes £30 on sky poker playing like a fool.
GOOD $20 up on FR's on 888, need to play 10 raked hands a day for a month to get hourly freerolls, hoping to hit $100 but $50 absolute minimum. 4 all-in shootout tickets on stars. 50 points to clear in a month to make sure I stay on the BRM freerolls on Party, out of $20 start roll (won on the BRM FR). $20 on random sites that I need to grind up to a withdrawable amount.
UGLY Sky have a promotion, grind 50 points a week for 7 weeks, get allocated a premier league team, a different one each week. All team players earn reward points, top 5 teams share some money and each time your team wins, you get a £5 free bet. Pokerheaven have a new depositor bonus, may try and see if they will offer me extra tickets and stuff to deposit (I have already withdrawn $50, they didn't make me deposit, so they may not let me have other goodies).

On stars los about 30$ playing without being focused, however correctedd myself and started grinding it up whit my head in the game, made a few stacks already.
Used 2 of the tickets today, that I won on the Full Tilt summer freerolls (a $10 and a $2.20 ticket) on 9 max SNGs, and won them both for $41.94 and $9.23
Also doing well on 6 max cash games on party the last few months (28.5 bb/100 since I started playing cash there 2 months ago; over 11000 hands). So I'm happy...
Nothing really bad to report, except another $10 ticket (from summer freeroll) that I lost, in an $80 jackpot game.

I'm currently trying to build a bankroll on Poker MIRA after getting that $5 no deposit bonus. I got to $50 easily in the first day, then I got to over $120 and then lost some of it. I'm now at 60-70 and I can't get any higher, it's frustrating but at least I have something to play. I play 0.5-0.10 NLH because there are no tournaments here..

I love reading about the ups and downs of playing poker and gambling. My gambling has been going well lately, especially Baseball where i can't seem to do any wrong lately, but i know that this could change any minute

I'm screwed too losing some money on golf but it is to be expected as golf betting especially on outrights each way picks tends to have a long run without winners as most of the bets i pick are longshots. But i have a strategy , just hope my bankroll will not become zero until i get the one winner which will make me in profit. Anyway good luck have fun betting and playing the promotion games. Sky in general has some good promotion, sadly can't play there as i am not from UK. Anyway hope you bounce back mate!

Doing okay. Managed to bink myself into the money on a Party free roll last month, and run it up to $400~ as of now. I am not sure if I'm playing well but I feel like I'm running like a god. Hope some of my luck rubs off you Ice

I haven't played much this week or weekend, though won a €50 ticket at unibet tonight having won into that game from a free ticket so not too bad in terms of loyalty but need to convert the ticket to a win. Been playing some small cash games to get free tickets at 888 and still increasing my br there too. Feeling pretty ok about stuff at the minute.
Chopped (I can be glad I did not lose -.-) KQ=QJ, chopped 99 against an "all in every hand" donk, was card dead for next half hour. THen had to push some suited connector and lost.

Well i've just had a horrible 2 weeks losing over $100 on party and over $60 on stars i'm going to have to play in the lower priced mtts untill i get some more in my BR although i've still got a few hundred in skrill from when i cashed out before from party,i wanrt to keep that for a rainy day.
I'm playing 4 tables of $0.01/0.02 Zoom for as much as I can every day. Played around 20,000 hands the last three days and have boosted my bankroll from $200 to $249... I intend to withdraw half my profits each week... when I get to $500 I'll move up to $0.02/0.05... $1,000 move up to $0.05/0.10 etc etc etc....
It's basically a trial start of my professional poker career. So far so good - just hope it continues

keep on the good work yout85 Hope your professional poker career goes foward and can be a profitable one It looks a good business plan only to move up only after double your money but most important is stick to the plan don´t go up trying to cover some losses Was my mistake
