Topic: Poker bankroll building challenge. - page 2. (Read 408 times)

I will be taking this one-week bankroll challenge from now on. Let's see how much money I can make out of it playing poker for the whole week. I will be playing on two Indian poker platforms (no need to mention the name as I am not promoting them). Both run freerolls worth 15$ -30$ frequently throughout the day.
Below is the screenshot of my initial balance.

AFTER DAY 1 session 2     BANKROLL  = 605 INR


So after winning freeroll I decided to play cash games and sat down at 3 tables with max buy-in (50 INR) blinds were 0.5/1. I played exploitatively and trappy. This session can be summarized as me trapping a big fish with almost 500 bb starting stack. As I have only 4 buy initially I played super tight and waited for a strong hand with fish. I managed to trap him for almost 373 bb pot but he hits his lucky turn and I lost all which I grinded. But I bought in again and started grinding again and slowly building my stack again. Then again I trapped him but guess what he again got lucky for a 300 bb pot. At this moment I felt so tilted but somehow controlled myself and bought again for 50 bb. I knew that I am playing good and it is just a matter of time that he will hand me over his entire stack. So I keep playing and after some time I trapped him again and this time he could not get lucky and I won 251 bb pot. I knew now he will play more aggressively and I have to just wait for strong holdings which happened soon and he lost 451 bb and 134bb pot after that he was completely tilted and got busted soon. Below are the screenshots of hands against him;

so, u'll be playing with 0?

what happens if you win any money?

will they allow you to withdraw?

as far as i know there are conditions on the amount won.

and it can't be withdrawn instantly.

u can pm me the name of the casino which run no-deposit freerolls.

Is this really worth your time to play freeroll poker several times in a week with such low prizepool on every freeroll? How much you'll get to win the 1st prize? Is that a winner take it all or the prize pool is distributed to several winners?

If you really want to challenge for one week, I hope you can update your thread every day so we know what you will play and how much you win or lose. The freerolls seem tempting because they are worth 15$ -30$ and you can get them frequently throughout the day. Hopefully, you can win for money and you will not have a problem withdrawing the money. If you have skills in a poker game, I think you can try to play that because, who knows, you can win the games.

Good luck! It's all that you need in freeroll poker games with so many players and a quick timer! Only with a lot of luck, you can survive all those all-ins through the game... it's definitely not about the skills, it's about picking the right moments for an all-in and having the luck to win... all cards are playing, and too many times I had crazy outcomes on many hands!

I guess this is just fun... have a good time playing free rolls if you have free time, and if you are lucky you can make at least some bankroll and start playing paid tournaments, it's where poker is completely different! Good luck!

Bankroll management is one of the hardest things in poker because the swings we can experience when playing no limit holdem is insane. When playing other variants like potlimit then the swings are not so big as we won't be losing our whole buyin with one bad beat. When I first started out with poker I went up the buyins too quickly and ended up going broke a few times. It's best too play dynamically with our bankroll, so as soon as we lose a few buyins it's best to lower our stakes again.

Building a serious bankroll without any starting money is very difficult. Freerolls are usually full of players, so even if you can win 10 or 15 USD it comes down to number players. If you are competing with thousands of other players than your chances are very slim. In my opinion it's better go look for a good casino with 100 or 200% deposit bonus. Like that you have already a good balance to start with.

Good luck with your challenge.

With a free roll program it seems almost impossible to really achieve anything. I do remember that there was an American poker professional who turned 10 $ into 1000 $. Not sure about his name, it was around 2010 I think. The guy with the cowboy hat. That could theoretically still be possible. Very difficult from Freerolls. Worth trying. Maybe it's better to try a strategy with low stakes?

I'll give some advice that could help you to have a good result from this challenge.
What is the freeroll grind ?
The freeroll grind is a method of grinding where you play a lot of tournaments in order to get the required points to enter other tournaments in order to reach a high level.
The basic idea is to have a lot of small wins during all the tournaments, aim for playing a lot of tables and at the same time try to play your own game.
You must have in mind that it's going to be hard to get a good result if you don't follow this advice!!!the key points that people usually forget are$$ play cash games first and never do freerolls when you're in bad mood because it is obvious that you can't play at your best with a bad mood!!

Why does everyone write that OP is going to play freerolls? As I understand it, he has real $ 30 on his balance sheet and he is going to play with them first, and freerolls will be an additional help.
In any case, I wish him good luck and it would be nice if at the end of each day he wrote down the number of hands played and the final balance.

I can only say good luck with the challenge and be careful manage your money and do not use too big amount, even if you get free coins or money to start. Usually, when we can get free money or coins, we will not be careful instead use it all-in at once because we think that we can get another free coin or money. You will screw yourself if you think like that and in the end, you will deposit your money. That is because gambling can easily tempt you to use your own money instead of just hoping for free money. So be careful.
