good to see you still going fly dude, i personally don't have the discipline to sit for hours at the microstakes to walk out with a dollar or two in profit. i want millions or billions to see this time as a worthy investment. ah well back to growing pigs i guess. best of luck in your quest to 300 thefly.

I go with saying "Poker is like sex, its much more fun, if you dont have to do it for money"
Ofcourse id like to be winning player, but is more of a pleasure. Especially against bad players, you know, who make minraises with aces and you are on button with your 79 suited and have to call and then you make it on turn and then aces guy goes full speed and loses. I just love the feeling. (sorry for AA guys, raise bigger next time)

Indead I do not have to hours to spend on freerolls but IQA is right ... you can win some money there. I did it in the past on terminal poker were it was fast poker with small player field and the torney was over in 1 a 1.5 hours.
Well I can tell you if you look at poker as a game and not to the money it s relaxing for me to play. Like I play cardgames with friends for small money. The same for poker, I never made any deposit, got my money from freerolls, ND bonusses, and BRM cashouts. And to be honoust 200 euro s is relative small when >I compare it to my income. But as it s actually only money what I recieved from others its easy to relax when I play poker.

Update
Played for +/- 1 hour today at the 0.02/0.05 tables I ended at 189.4 euros so little profit there.
Was actually doing pretty wel but at the end I lost versus a str flush (had flush ace high) he had 73 suited. It cost me 2.4 euro as I did not see it coming at all.

Nice progress Lost ace high flush to straight flush seems inevitable for me. Best thing we can do just minimize our lost, of course if villain no have str flush we just win small pot I respect your discipline how long you play Good luck

Well to answer your question I play poker for +/- 9 years. Never made any deposit on any pokersite, started with playing freerolls and collect some no deposit bonusses.
Before black friday I played at fulltilt as I got 50 dollars from another pokersite than BRM and won 2 MTT and my bankroll there got over 500 dollar. You can check it my username was thefly131
I did not follow any bankrollmanagement and got hit by a downstreak , did not lower my playing limits and lost all (before black friday )
Afterwards I played at party, Mira, yachting, terminal, unibet....
I made some money at Mira and some other sites and got 200 euro s from that and cashout from BRM. I ve learnt my lessons of bankrollmanagement and maybe my pokerplay is improvable my dicipline is good till very good (i quit smoking some years ago, started to run 3 times a week, lost some weight) mainly through dicipline.
By the way played poker for +/- 1 hour today at 0.02/0.05 and won 1 euro so my BR is now 190.6

Patience is the key for many things. Works in poker too. It is better to have a slow progress, than to rush things, that can lead to a big loss. You have plenty of time till the end of the year. Better luck in your next games.

Try the omaha h/l, you may get some money there
Well am starting a new session in a few minutes.
Wezll there s no omaha h/l on unibet. Like that game too
Will keep you informed of the outcome
------------ Well had to stop as the odss were against me
Hd a good start at the 0.02/0.05 he tables but then had a bad streak. Lost 4 allins when I had trips postflop (pockets in my hand) and lost vs a flush or str draw that followed on the turn or river.

Best thing to do is stop playing for today.
My BR is now 187.50 eur
keep it up mate
wise decision to stop during a losing session.
patience is the key as mober said
and against your recent bad luck want to tell you a remedy ancient roman knew.

So thefly.... Just over four weeks,gone and you are €15 up. Do you think that your target is still achievable . Will you be making any changes to how you play to try and make bigger wins? Or will you be continuing in the same vein throughout the challenge? It would be interesting to hear your considerations.

In positive track, I think good to try play at one higher level to catch up your target but just don't push to hard, cause in bad luck moment we can't do anything. Or play more time maybe ? Good luck
