So I have not bothered with stars for some time and had a balance of zero I randomly logged in around the anniversary of the sunday million to see if any freebies because I was bored I got $4 I then turned this into $11 with what I would call aggressive bank roll management but really is just f*** it who cares if go broke here then we went down to $4.50 then we went back up to $33 then we went down to $24 and now we have $43.
This is not my main site and only my casual play here and there when not on a proper poker session day. I will mostly be playing spin and goes $1 up to $200 then 100 buyin rule from then on. the occasional mtt may happen. Just curious if I end up turning $4 into $1000 or going broke first I deposited nothing so I guess its a free roll.

Coo1DavidI suppose it only really becomes a challenge if it has time limits.
Once u reach the 1K perhaps go 1-10K which should be a breeze after going from zero but encounter so many more tougher players and games, would make a great blog imo
I have a losing day maybe once a week on average, which is going to be nearly always less than 3 games down, usually just one, so i dont have to look at swingy games to make a good profit.
Omaha hi lo is a **** of alot easier to make a steady profit over hold em for several reasons;
1 its a pot limit game with slow blinds... its not possible for someone to push in preflop and luck out for some time, as in your example. So they have to beat you over a longish game.
2 players play hi lo very badly and you can be patient due to the pot limit and slow structure
3 its a 2 pot game and when you learn to use this to your advantage, you can be guaranteed a return with cards left to come.
4 its very hard to lose a game to a novice for all of the above reasons
I can also spot were 'i am being set up' to lose hands due to vast online experience. For instance, flopping a hi only nut straight (despite only being up against one opponent heads up) is one were if it goes to the river, just simply never holds online.
Basically when i am playing this standard and this is the scenario during the game, i should maybe lose one in a blue moon.
When im like just 5-4 games up and this has been the typical games scenario in all games, every day.... then the maths tell you all is quite not what it seems.....
Its just maths, you either believe what the maths is telling you or you dont. But im told if im winning overall, this can not be true.
The thing is though, you make a profit, you can lose that profit entirely or just keep pushing and make a steady profit without getting wound up. Then at the end of the day does it matter if rigged or not?
you either need to provide evidence of a rig or just shut up about it and carry on. Otherwise eventually you risk been banned due to responsible gambling legislation and etc.
It just i feel there needs to be a banner saying it was for leisure and entertainment purposes and that there is gntd return percentage.
What about the young (but naiive) talented poker player who comes to online poker thinking he can play like he would a real deck? And he loses his 'start in life' money he has built up in live play, because he is told by sites that he is just unlucky and the odds will even out over time (and ive seen many examples of support that do say this)?
I stand for poker and for the players, not my own gain. Though of course you are right, keeping quiet would be the best option, if i entirely thought of myself.
live play is a lot softer then online eg if the games have not changed since I last played I am pretty sure I can beat 100NL in live play. I am though very doubtful I could beat the same stakes online. I used to play in an £80 weekly tournament at my then local casino and was very profitable in this. Most poker sites if I played an £80 plus tourney I likely would not have an edge. Online games are a lot tougher then live games there are many reasons for this.
The absolute best case you could make is someone puts time and effort into trying to make it in online poker and fails. If the deck was fixed this would be pretty awful that someone lost that effort due to a scam.
However this is not the case plenty of professionals doing well online. whatever you want to say about the RNG right or wrong if you put the effort in and had the attributes you could do well from online poker.
of course last spin of five won 4 out of 5 btw my initial starting roll of $4 is now at $161.
So maybe you might get the point I am making here but prolly not you prolly just read the first paragraph and felt vindicated.
They know this. Youre yo yo-ing at the moment, so youre not at the win rate that im talking about. But when you start to win consistently, the realisation will have set in on how you are doing this.
My grievance is that the vast majority who are making that good percentage profit, get annoyed when i point it out to the average players (you will notice alot came in immediately on my early posts).
They like it kept quiet, as like me, they have learned over many years to adjust to an online deck. They also want to come across as some kind of site ambassador.... many are desperate for sponsorship and you sure wont get that if you are seen to be biting the hand that will feed you!
They have also won many tournament packages, been treated very well by online companies and obviously its in their own selfish interests to let this continue.
think you inb your won world.
$500 a day is not a lot of staking when playing for a full day on sky through all the mtts at 5s and 10s I flush through £350 or so. which at the moment is $432. but a while back would have been over $500. playing $1 ultras I could get through about 700 a day.
that is $700 now I mean the standard in those is god awful, but realisticly rakeback and everything included could make like $6/$7 an hour.
on an 8 9 hour day then I would return $48-$63. if someone staked me for these and took 50% they would be making $24-$31.50 for a return of between 3-4.5% on that investment in a day. Why wouldnt people want to stake me at those stakes if I asked? I of course would not offer that I am not going to sit down and play 8-9 hours straight to make about three fiddy an hour. but from the backers perspective its a slam dunk.
You only need two things to be worth backing
1. be a profitable player
2. be trustable
if I have the bankroll to back people and could know how to tell point no2 I would be willing to back any reasonably profitable player. I could easily get backed right now.
I would also be willing to back you for 50% if I could verify your results and knew I could trust you. think it would be like for £30 or £40 a day but your profitable so i would return a profit and would make a passive income of £10 daily or there abouts.
I mean congratulations on been allegedly backed for micro stakes games. This does not proof you to be a world class expert.
Ive no idea what that 2nd to last post was, but a little worrying.
You are talking about turning $4 into $1000 as its a big deal, but then are saying its no big deal when its something i do as standard!
To get backed i had to deposit $10 and make $1000, that was the qualification. It took me about 10 days i think in the times of pre black friday when bad beats were just bad beats.
You are gambling $400 a day but your title is can you make $1000?????
And you are saying that its me they should be looking at for responsible gambling?
You could not get backed right now, as your making money and **** it off again....
