888 Bankroll recovery

Weird,
I thought I posted an update last week.

I must have failed to hit the "submit" button.

I can't remember where I was at that point, but over the week I've cashed in 3 freerolls.

Today's was interesting, since I did not make it back home in time to register, so I left it till the last minute.
I won 3 hands, but the last was the most interesting, and the one that took me into 200th place.
From there, I was pretty much card dead, and finished cashing in the 4th tier for $0.60

The bankroll now stands at $5.72
The bankroll floor is now $5.00 -- in other words, I play nothing but freerolls if I go below this.

The interesting hand?

Hey Vorpal, that's the first I've heard of your challenge, good luck!

As you may have heard, I'm in a similar situation at 888, but with a $65 head start.

I have a feeling, though, that it won't be too long until you overtake me.

Hello
An interesting plan, as I play at 888, I will try to apply a similar strategy ... so far I've played mainly freerolls, I almost just won $ 0 to $ 15 ... after I switched them to account, I'm just a little over 0, so could I make a plan .... Would you recommend me to play Freerolls and $ 0.40 Double-or-Nothing tournaments to $ 10.00?

Hey Vorpal, good luck. I will be watching your comeback closely.
I am trying one myself as we speak.
After blowing my BR at NL20 at the beginning of the year, I started at 0$ (Zero $) a couple of months ago by playing mainly the Saturday Club Freerolls which have a higher prizepool and all the tickets I won spinning.
I am up to 25$ now and will also occasionally play NL5 Snap or reg tables. Maybe I will try PLO too

losing 20 buck in one hand then building 20c a piece from freerolls wasting hours for each of them is something i just wouldnt do, but everyone to himself

Hey everyone,

For those who don't know, OP's computer recently broke, so he won't be here to answer your posts for a while. Obviously, this means that the Bankroll recovery challenge is also on hold for the time being.

Let's hope things will return to normal as soon as possible.

did not know, sad to hear that.

That's the idea of a challenge. Anybody can reload by depositing. And in real life, I played the freerolls and stuff on the side, while grinding somewhere else.

Wenn es brenzlig wird immer All-in gehen.

Good point -- however a freeroll only occupies one table, and I do them while doing forum posts, playing on other sites, studying, and all manner of other things.

Also, the 888 daily freerolls usually waste less than 40 minutes each.

All the best,

Update time...
I cashed in today's freeroll once again, bringing my total to $5.32.
I then played a $1 Blast using a ticket I got in yesterday's spin.
The multiplier was 5x, which means two places paid. I was leading going in to the all-in phase, but ended second for $1.50 -- nice.

My bankroll now stands at $6.82

I should try to make a graph of this...

Good job boss. I also cashed in two POkerclub freerolls today, once 40c and 2.40$ bumbing my BR to 27.37$.
Due to the rungood and having the client open to play freerolls I invested in 1.5$ rebuy tournament and I am currently ITM, so positive ROI guaranteed here too.
Next freeroll is starting in 10 Minutes.

Do you have tokens to buy cards for the royal crown?
It is easy to take $ 1 in the tournament, literally with one all in hand.
What freerol tournaments are you playing, and who are you currently level at 888?

It's not bad for my skill, it could have been much better, but time does not allow me a better effect ... I continue to learn and with the presence of concentration maybe better results

I play the lucky chip -- and no, I don't have tokens for the royal crown. To get them, you must be playing cash games ($0.02/$0.05 or higher) or tournaments with a buy in of $1 or hither, and win with JJ - KK hole cards. Since my bankroll doesn't support those games yet, I'll have to do with the lucky chip dailies, and whatever other stuff I can glean from the daily spin.

I'm up to $7.29 and I might do a 40¢ DoN during my stream today.

It says I'm at level 42 -- and I'm about 3/4 the way to the next level if the blue line means what I think it means

All the best,
VS

that the blue line this means for each level, they get gold tokens ...
I change 10 tokens for the card. Have you checked if you have any token?

or do not have a token? do you know where they are?

can u give me link for stream

Thanks mardibg for the tip about exchanging tokens for entries into the Royal Crown tournaments.
I did find my tokens, but I did not exchange any today.

I did however play a $1 blackjack hand to gain an entry into the Saturday Casino Mix freeroll.
I won the blackjack hand, so I now have $8.21

I busted out of the lucky chip freeroll this morning though AQ < TT

All the best,
