Hello guys i am starting my blog to participate in the BR challenge and this time i am going to make it from 0 usd to 1k.

At the beggining i will be playing freerolls in any site i could find, natural8, 888poker, ACR, Winamax, etc.

when i get some $$$ i will try the cheapeast mtts i could find and start from there.

The updates will occur everytime i get ITM in any freeroll or MTT

Cheers

The hardest part of this challenges is to start. The minefield in some of these freerolls are huge

Well, yesterday i played a $ 0.10 Blast wich i lost and decided that playing cash games would be less variance game to play while i have just under 8 BIs of blasts.

so i played some hands and won $0.27.

I will continue playing freerolls and if i see a game i should play, maybe some $0.10 sngs i would.

Won $0.12 on ACR, will play a $0.11 MTT tomorrow, will see how it goes

the grand total is at $1.21

Lost a flip 66 vs KTo 10bbs open shove preflop from EP BB decided to call (bad call lmo since i am pushing from EP) but things are getting easier....

now i have $1.51 in 888 ( btw i played 67 hands and won 0.06 )

grand total $ 1.66

I was thinking on playing STT but 10 cents in 888 is 20% rake so its not very profitable in the long run so i have to figure out what could i play with the bank i have there.
cheers and gl

Second in an 888 freeroll is quite an achievement!
I've had a handfull of FTs out of hundreds of tournaments.

Well done

Bad week for Natural8, lost almost all my BR playing spin and gold (some good, some bad plays) But it's ok, i still have 14.75 on 888 so will look to play on that platform with some hoourly freerolls Natural. My main goal is to get $25-$30 on natural to play some games there and $40-$50 on 888. Still trying on other platforms with no luck so far.

Will keep you posted, have a nice week all.

Are you still just playing freerolls on 888?
If you are playing other games, which games?
If not, what bankroll do you want to have before you start?

Huge stepback :f_cry::f_cry::f_cry: lost almost a third of the BR i had in 888.
i played a lot of blast games (could not run good)
i played some stt and got bubbled 3 times with the equity in my favour (no luck)

Any way have to stay focus and dont blow out the rest of the BR

Here is a recap of the bankroll i have i various sites
Natural8 $0.02
ACR $ 0.54
888 $10.62
Winamax $0.00
Pokerstars $0.00

Grand total $ 11.18

Will try to play more freerolls on Wina but the time they are running i am playing my regular session on pokerstars and i dont wanna mix BR challenge with regular monthly session.

Cheers and have fun.

Hi @Vorpalf2f

Are you still just playing freerolls on 888?
A= Yes, i am still playing freerolls, specially the ticket freerolls

If you are playing other games, which games?
A= also playing some $0.10 blast games but i don't really recomend them since they are super high variance so, i am also playing some STTsngs and some low buy in MTTs no luck so far. I have to lear to win some key flips :f_rolleyes:
Every once in a while i opens some fast cash game tables.

If not, what bankroll do you want to have before you start?
I have to start as soon as possible, freerolls are very time consuming and a lot of variance since people don't care. yesterday i lost a flip all in preflop total pot 800 blinds AA vs 99 vs J4 vs K8s off course J4 won, lol....

i have to learn to win this flips HU Open Raise Call all in for 16 bbs, probably i should have played low variance HU but i wasn't totally focus.
