Not gonna bother following another of Gary'I regularly turn a small BR into a Large BR'QQQQ's challenge threads as it's a dead cert to happen!!!!!!
Gd luck with this, will be interesting to see how long it takes you with the freerolls to get some sort of balance as the play in them can be best described as'interesting'. It's still a poker challenge of my to win a freeroll, closest I got was a third. Will deffo follow this, best of British to you Sir.
Thank-you very much everybody for all the good luck messages!
I'm gonna need some freeroll rungood, and I'm gonna need it fast if I want to avoid making a plonker of myself. 1000 points buys me 40 freerolls @ 25 poker points each, the weekend Omaha tournies represent great value for me at only 10 points each, I hope they still run!
Question, what level of freeroll cash will make you switch from freerolls to real money? For example, if you win a fiver will you stop the freerolls and try to spin that or are you going to stick to freerolls until you hit a certain amount? Or do you have another plan? Posted by TommyD
To be honest I don't have a plan. I'm gonna make decisions like that on the fly. If I bink a few quid early I'll probably stop playing freerolls and get in some cheap DYMs straight away, that way I'll earn some extra poker points to fall back on if I lose all the money.
Your only problem in achieving this will be getting a BR from freerolls that will withstand the normal variance in poker and your normal game. I suspect that once you get to an amount that will put up with the swings in BR it'll only be how long, not if you complete this.
Sounds very interesting, and something that newer players can look at and know are achievable! Ill be watching AND playing in your free-rolls :P Goodluck!
gl gary the omaha freefolls do still run i won the sunday one 2 weeks ago for £26.00 so they r good value,i also won a 25pt freefoll last week for £13.50 . So im sure with your game you will soon build up a br out of the freerolls.
I think the test will be your patience. It's not like your starting on 60p DYMs and can load up 4 or 5 tables to spread it about, you can only play when there is a freeroll! It will be very frustrating to start with I expect, unless you get an early doors bink.

Thanks for that. Great results you have there, I'll be hoping for something similar.
Mabye I am missing the point but this seems a bit pointless! Why not just put in £20 - £30 and it would save you hours and hours and hours and hours etc of time. I think the hardest part will be making the first £50 or so, GL anyway Posted by sighcall
I agree, £0 to £50 is going to be the toughest bit by far. £50 to £1,000 might take longer but there's very little risk of going bust.
Last year I did a similar thing from £51, this time round I thought I'd try and do it the hard way. Pointless starting at zero? Let me put it this way; my John o'Groats to Land End walk would have been much easier if I'd started at Glasgow and cut out The Highlands, but it wouldn't have been the same.
Out of my first freeroll in 121st/242. Check/shoved my stack on the flop for a big HU pot that would have put me among the leaders, was well ahead so no regrets, unfortunately I couldn't fade my opponent's call with a flush draw this time.

Very best of luck with this Gary, the only question is when not if m8.
The very best of luck, no doubt you will achieve it.
Full of admiration for the skill and the discipline you need to have to attempt such a challenge!

Will have another try at 4-00pm.
