Ok, i will try to explain myself regarding the BR management i am using or going to use.
ATM the backroll is divided in 3 platforms
888 $12.64
ACR $0.54
Natural8 $ 0.52
Winamax $0.00
Pokerstars $0.00

I am playing freerolls and some STT in Poker888 (i am no longer playing the freeroll satellites) they take a lot of time and are full of variance since they are rebuy and we are not rebuying.
I would like to play blast but they are extremely high variance (the highest of all platforms) in micro limits $0.10 and $1.00 because the have antes and we start at 20/40 blind levels (2 less levels and 300 chips in 5x lower miltipliers) so nooo. Plus 10% rake.
I will be playing mostly STT and micro MTTs until i reach $60 and from then on i might be playing mostly Blasts
In Natural8 is diferent because we can play $0.25 spin and golds and the rake is not as high (only 7%, wich is beatable) so i will be playing freerolls and 0.25 spin and gold till i catch something
ACR i dont have a clue
Winamax same as natural 8
Pokerstars is the hardest since there are only satellite freerolls.

Gl all and have fun! _drink:

Been a little frustrated that i been running very bad in wina since i think they have very good freerolls to start a BR but no, no luck to get in deep.
Won a couple of STT and with the winnings wone a couple of $2 blast (played this for the reason explained above) and got to increase the BR by a good chunck, if i could only have this BR on natural8 i would have 100 BIs in spin and gold wich maybe with a little luck its almost imposible to go broke, but thats ok. We'll keep fighting in 888.

I'm in it as well — I'm Meroveus on 888

There are currently 5000 players in it, but I suspect it will end up with a lot more. Max is 18K players, and even a min-cash is well worth the effort.

I totally blew it, i had the 60k freeroll, 125 gtd freeroll, some freeroll satellites open and confused the tables and went all in with a crappy hand in the mtt i was not supposed to. :f_cry: :f_cry: :f_cry: :f_ugly:. How did you do, hope you got ITM.

The bankroll still at $30.34... in 888
the good thing is that i finally cash in a winamax MTT that i am playing ATM ($0.01 so far, lol)

Bitter sweet ending at the winamax $50 gtd freeroll.... I end up in 5th place.

I had 35 or some BBs at FT and lost 3 hands in the spam of half an orbit.

BB vs MP2 vs BTN 13.5 bbs floped 2 pair on a KT8ss board and lost to runner runner diamonds

CO vs SB 15 bbs AI preflop AQ vs 33 lost to trips 3 on the flop

and finally SB vs BB 7.8bbs A2o vs AQ std blind open shove

from 2nd to 5th but at least i manage to grow a BR on winamax so i will be cashing in more $$ there.

Yes is very hard specially in those tournaments, there are 3 min level blinds and we are constantly pushing and calling as you can see the avg chips on the final table are somewhere around 8.5bbs wich is very low.
Off course i got lucky in some spots, the coolers where in my favour even tought those Aces where the first one i got in the hour and a half i play.

.

Oh i am very happy just a little bitter sweet cause i could not double up neither those 2 hands i played on FT. I am not an expert but i have experince in the game (at least to beat some stakes), definetly not new, been here since 2009. Yes every format plays different and the dynamics change a lot, my weakest format would be cash. And you are right it is better to focus on 1 format, learn it, master it and exploit it. But in orther to get some $$$ i play all these formats since i think its EV+ and i could reach my goal faster. Along the road i will focus on 1 maybe 2 formats to continue the BR challenge.

_drink: ty, yes it's always a satisfaction, no matter the stakes you are able to play. I believe that this fields most of the times are harder to reach since there is a lot of gambling going on the blinds are crazy fast and there are a lot of players involved.

Today we play some STT on 888 and some expressos on winamax, with these results.

Spoiler

Slowly but surely the bankroll is growing.

Gla and Ev

Ok, after a long morning session we are happy to announce that freerolls are almost behind our playing schedule.

From now on i will mostly play STT on 888, expressos on winamax, and if we go broke we are leaving them behind till we get a decent BR (talking bout winna).

I dont know if would be legal to tranfer $$$ from site to site in orther to play spins or expressos in higher levels. What do the community think.

888 BR is now $ 69.23
Winamax is $ 6.28
ACR is $ 0.79

Spoiler

Still 1 frerroll remaining in ACR but long way to the ITM (little below average stack) will edit post later if i get ITM.

Cheers all, have a great week

I think is ok, if you decide to for example you want to transfer $10 from 888Poker to some other site, I don't see why it should affect your challenge. Is not like you deposited, just so you can complete your challenge. But don't take my opinion on it, better wait for a reply from the admin :transpire: :sifflote:

Are you still playing on Natural8?

@mariiussica88

Same thoughs exactly, as long i don't make a deposit of money i don't have in my BR. But i will wait admin response.

I am still trying on Natural8 but since the GTDs are the lowest ($10, every hour) and with fields of 1k on avg. its the hardest site. Plus i've been not running good there. Today i played a $125 GTD freeroll and lost in the first Orbit AA vs 22 all in pre, set on the flop.

@Sogar _drink:

Today i will be mostly playing STT, and planning my goals for next month. Let's see how it goes.

Have fun and gl at the tables.
