Started off with 100.07 cents. I place top 20 in a few freeroll tournaments for the 7 cents

I will update per 5 games I play.

First two games:

freeroll limit holdem. one buy-in = 25 cents.
0.50 cent NL holdem 6 player sit n go = 60 cents
2.25 NL holdem 6 player sit n go = 2.25

Taking it easy trying to sum up the competition and play style.

Lost both tournaments, I was really unlucky in the 2.25 game. I was holding 54 and 448 came on the flop. Other player was holding 88. Lost half my stack there.
50 cent was just a farce, lost fast and hard to lucky lucky hands. More all ins with a 3 and turn was 3.
Free-roll, well I have to go. Hopefully the blinds won't kill me by the time I get back.

Many bad beats, and well... Just a bad day.

bankroll is now 94.37, down about 8$. I'm going to rest for today, return to the free money side for a while .

I'll be back on tomorrow after getting over this tilt I feel coming on. I've got some learning to do, quite a lot I think.

Placed 18th in omaha freeroll and 1st in 1.25 game. I'm getting my confidence back.

[Jmahoney]

Still going

Placed 8th in big freeroll tournament, 87 cents lol
Also placed 3rd in 60 cent game for a dollar.

So I'm only $3.40 short of what I started with.

I definitely have my confidence back though.

quick update:

I've made money lol. $100.34 is my bankroll now. Played a quick few hands and made 3 dollars.

Goin to bed now. Gnight all

[Jmahoney]

Okay, couldn't help myself. I played another game.

Balance: $158.14

First place in $5.50 tourney

[BlackLava]

That's the way to go : Risk free bankroll management and winnings!
Great work!

[azza15]

nice win i only realized i was playin u when we got 2 heads up.....slow i no lol,nah it was very good game an id come second to u any time.....good call, was guttsy wit a 7 but it worked...

[BlackLava]

Nice way up! For sure playing mostly in tourneys will make the bankroll management even easier (so easy to go on tilt and push half the bankroll on a ring table when going down...)
You guys are hitting the ring games tables too or only playing in tourneys?

well done m8
