888 Bankroll recovery

How have the token? It is easy to take $ 1 a crown of many players entering the 4500 award ... when you're won $ 100 in a tournament to remember me I had today also successfully hand the cash game took 3 dollars. I'm now almost 8, I got a 0.4 don, but satellites that I started to play was not successful

Recommendation would have to play freerolls championchips 50 players will gain entry I won the semi-marathon on Sunday 25k prize

With all of the problems 888 had over the past week, I didn't play much, and what I did play did not work out so well.

I won a $5.00 casino freeplay, and like an idiot, I thought that meant that I could play that much for free -- not so. There went $0.75

Next, I lost 3 DoNs in a row, there went another $1.20

I cashed in today's Lucky Chip, and I played some NL 2 last night, so with everything combined, my bankroll stands at $6.68

So, since I last reported, here is the progress (or lack of it):
        Item    Amount    Bankroll  
     Balance                  8.21  
      Casino     -0.75        7.46  
         DoN      -1.2        6.26  
         NL2      0.12        6.38  
  Lucky Chip       0.3        6.68  

Tomorrow at 19:30 Z I'll be in the Royal Crown (I won a ticket) and if the blast ticket comes through I'll play that was well.

I'll be streaming those two games as well as some others at https://www.twitch.tv/maugr1s

See you there!

3 freeroll cashes today. One -- the Casino Mixup f/r requires that you play a casino game on Thursday. I played a hand of blackjack and won for an extra buck.
Double-or-Nothing tournaments did not work out so well though...

888 is pretty much the only site I know of where this is possible these days. Long ago there were several freerolls a day on PokerStars -- each a different game. I sure do miss those -- I learned a lot about non-hold'em poker playing them.

888 gives you a free spin each day, and almost always you get a ticket to a freeroll, so there is a lot of opportunity.

At this rate, though, it will take a while to match Chris Ferguson's 0 - 10,000 record...
VS

let's make some money shall we? May I am not the one gonna make it - I wish you the best of luck guys. Just in case you need some . Keep up posting!

Agree about 888Poker opportunities, made 35$ from scratch using a ticket to a satellite and earning my place in a MTT then made it ITM.
The downsides are you have to really pay attention to expiracy date of those tickets, they are pretty short in my opinion also for the cash bonus. And it takes lot of time to get answers from them when troubles.
You find expiracy dates almost everywhere ... looks like a huge fridge.
On the good side they are honnest atleast from what i saw after the DDOS attack on their servers they refilled my tickets and re-added my bonus.
Also when it comes to 88$ with no deposit read all the lines in between on how the 88$ are given so you don't get mistaken by marketing offers.

Kind Regards,
J-C.

Tough week. No freeroll wins, but I did play a Double-or-Nothing this morning...

I do have a ticket for the Casino freeroll this Saturday, and those are usually pretty good.

Lucky Chip used to be a fairly consistent money winner, but for the past two weeks, they've all ended like this:

This week's update will be quite a bit better

In my spins recently I received a $1 Blast ticket -- these have been good so far...

All the best,

So it goes...

The Freebuys seem like a good deal, but unless you a) get a ticket and b) win the tournament, they're not.

I checked back to my original plan, an there it says I should be playing $1 Double-or-Nothings at this stage, as well as NL 2. Hmmm... I may play some NL 5, since if you win 10 hands, you get a Wild Hunt ticket -- and that seems worth the risk.

On Monday, I'll be streaming my current Wild Hunt ticket -- check my sig for the link

Best of luck to everyone,
VS

Full tilt used to run a 500k play chip buy in for a $5 real money free roll.That's going back 15 years or so but it's always enjoyable to try new bankroll challenges and to keep track of other players challenges.Good luck on your challenge ill keep popping by the thread to give you some inspiration or maybe just to poke fun of the bad beats to cheer me up.

After today's Lucky Chip I'm now back to above where I was when I discovered I had a bankroll on 888.
IIRC, it was $20.78, and I'm now at $21.22
I'll post the full week's results Saturday as usual

The trick with these freerolls, is not to get to excited when your stack gets low. You'll either get a hand with a chance of winning, or you'll blind out. The problem is, that if everyone else is all-in ahead of you, even AA isn't worth much.
So I not to invest my chips unless I have some reason to suspect that I'm ahead.

Here's the hand that took me from the usual min-cash to lift me up several tiers:
As it turns out, I wasn't, but spiked the A.
There were some players sitting out as well, so AQs seemed a good hand to shove my last 2 BB with

The early stages always seem to be the tricky part to navigate up until the shove fest is over first few orbits.Better luck tomorrow ill drop by your stream and say hi tomorrow night if i can.

Do you have any problems with 888 creating a CLogFile and debug in you notebook on your desktop every time you open 888 poker ?.Ive tried saving them to documents just to get them out the way but if they are moved it just creates new ones on my desktop.Is there a fix for this does anyone know.

Thanks.
