I didn't play anything at Party Poker tonight. I did however play att Coolbet with a free €5. I played some cashgames just for fun and ended up loosing a little bit €1.50 so I went back to what I knew, the same concept as I've been playing at Party Poker and I won back €1 so ended the day with basically a €0.50 loss. But I'm gonna make a run for it as soon as I reach €5 and take a shot on the €5 game. If I win I get a decent bankroll, if I lose it doesn't matter since it's free money to start with. My goal is to reach €20 so I can cashout.

Yesterday I had a string of bad luck at Coolbet Poker. I managed to get up to over €7 so I took a shot at the €5 games. First prize was at €20 which was exactly what I needed! Unfortunately, I went out in 2nd place. KK ran into AA and AK lost against AJ. After that it all continued to spiral downwards and half an hour later I had lost my entire bankroll.
But it doesn't matter, it was free money and now I can focus on Party Poker ones again! I'm still thinking about that Americas Card Room thing that Serpang told me about so we'll see what happens with that.

That wasn't too bad lost . At least your opp hand was decent card to play. I made deposit at ACR and play some of jackpot , not so many player, sometimes we have to wait few minutes, waiting opp. TC of withdrawal not to hard, just rake reach 10% of our deposit and certify ID. Wish see you there

With only seven euro, you shouldnt have played the five euro game. It was a long shot for some fast earnings, that didnt go as planned Anyway you had to try i guess with that free money. Better luck on your grinding, with the sng tournaments.

Lucky for you eh? kidding aside, I would have liked to play against a fellow mobster but your timezone is like 5 hours ahead of mine.
------------ Well, I just had the worst session so far. Complete b******t all the way from start to finish. None of my hands held up and I lost all flips, every single time villain called with crap and hit everything he needed. I got a few tables with good prizes, a $2.50, a $1.50 and two $1, I lost all of them. The $2.50 one I lost on the very first hand with AA against both villains, one had AK and the other one had 69. Flop came AT9, turn Q and river J so AK got a straight...
As you can understand, my bankroll took a big hit today. I ended the day with $24.47 which was a loss of $1.75. Complete crap! I can only hope that my next session will be better...
------------ Bankroll: $24.47 Number of sessions: 14 Last session profit/loss: -$1.75 Total profit/loss: $6.75 Average profit/session: $0.48

That's the reason why I hate the game. looks like slot machine, right ? skill doesn't help. But I try play that game at ACR, at first won easily but next few days I lost around $23 . I play that game for catch up deposit bonus, but too difficult. Play almost $50 just got 6.6 AP. 27.5 AP for $1. So I back to regular MTT.

Yeah it might seem like slots at some point but trust me, there's a lot more to it then that.
I just had a shot a $40 win at the ACR jackpot tables! I lost with 89s against 49o on a 9 high board, Both all-in after flop. River brings him a 4 and I'm out in 2nd place. That really sucks!!! I could have used that win for sure!! I really need to catch a break after yesterdays fiasco... Hoping I'll get some better results at the tables over at Party Poker in about an hour!
------------ And the b******t just keept on raining down on me. Not a single table with more then 2x multiplier and I played a bit over 20... I mean come on! And a lot of those tables was lost due to being outflipped on the river after going all-in on the flop. Nothing seems to be going my way lately... I'm starting to get really frustrated with this crap!! And the worst part is that I know there's nothing I can do other then waiting it out and keep playing.
I still managed to make a profit today, an entire $0.25... Amazing stuff, right? So sick and tiered of not getting rewarded when my gameplay is clearly +EV in at least 85% of the situations!!

Since you already register at ACR, just try play s n g $ 0.5 on demand, the tourney is turbo, doesn't take long time. just 1.5 until 2 hours. looks like you need new atmosphere, too. Or need take a break. Good luck next.

I mean, I could use a change but it just doesn't work with my life to be locked up in a tournament for X hours...
Today I lost another $1.25 even tho I was ahead on practically all of my all-ins. And if I'm getting my money in while I'm ahead, I can't see anything that I'm doing wrong in these situations... I'll just need to suck it up until I catch a break.
Bankroll: $23.47 Number of sessions: 16 Last session profit/loss: -$1.25 Total profit/loss: $5.75 Average profit/session: $0.36
------------ I did get a win over at ACR so I now have $4 on my account over there. It still buggs me that I lost the $40 one yesterday... But well, I'm hoping to reach $20 after my free money is gone. That's 10 BI so I guess that's good enough to start with.

Would you take a break from Party few days ? Do you think jackpot/spin n go player at ACR as well as player at Party ? I think player at PS better than ACR. But I still couldn't win at ACR Next time I will try again when my BR increase .

Yeah I'm gonna take a break from Party for about 5 days now so I'll be back there next friday. If things work out as I hope on the $0.25 level, I might try my luck at the $1 games. They have this friday promo that for every 10 games on a certain level you get one for free.
About the competition I think that it's way softer on ACR. At least that's the impression I've gotten so far. But then again, I've only played 3 games over there so far.,

Baby steps before you increase your levels Get a healthy bankroll first, so in order you get a draw down, in higher limits, not to drain your account. You could also make a cash out at some point, of a small amount, to have the money in your pocket, if something goes awfully wrong, and then redeposit with a deposit bonus perhaps Dont rush it and good luck.

I played that one free game I had over at ACR just now and won another $4 so after 4 free games, my bankroll is up to $8. On good track to reach my $20 goal.

Well done I recommend you play at ACR cause : 1. Base on your ability I am sure you will win easier there than at Party. 2. Min buy in $2, so you will win bigger. 3. Get free money for trial
I suggest you spend more time play at ACR. Good luck

Yeah that's what I'll be doing for a wile. However I don't like the waiting time for each game and also the software is way worse then party so by the looks of it, it might be a bit more difficult to multi table these games. Haven't tried yet tho so I might be wrong.
------------ I just played my free game at ACR and I couldn't get a single good hand. My best hand for the entire game was A7, no joke! Needless to say, I didn't win that game. This means that so far, I've only won 2 out of 5 games which is complete crap! I know I can do a lot better then that! But hopefully the "correct" results will start coming ones my free games are done and I start playing there for real.

Yeah... that's what I mean about jackpot/spin n go or hero ? When unlucky just like that. I thought you can handle circumstances like that so I wondering is properly playing that game for serious purpose ?

Well, I did get a good stack by outplaying my opponents. But when facing an opponent heads up who time and time again get deal really good hands or hit whatever he needs when flipping, there isn't much you can do about it
