I've been thinking what would be a good challenge this year to restart this blog with a theme consistent with the title of the blog. Namely building a bankroll from nothing by playing freerolls. If you don't know what I did in 2006, check out my summary.
It's been hard for me to stay true to my blog title since once you've built up a stake, it's just not the same playing hours of freerolls for cashes of less than 0.1% of your bankroll!
So I gotta thank Nick 'Mi_Turtle' Rainey and his 1K last longer bet against the field in this year's WBCOOP Main event. He finished 635th and I lasted until 490th, not ITM for a SCOOP ticket but a share of the 1K for $1.58.
It was a freeroll so now I have my first 'cash' from a freeroll in over a year. (I haven't played much)
As I searched the web to see what other bloggers have done with the 1.58, I came upon a typical 2+2 rant thread on Mi_Turtle's last longer bet.
Thus came the inspiration for the title of my 2010 challenge. Let's see what I can do with the 1.58 and show these 2+2 haters what's possible.
With all the sites out there nowadays putting everyone's play in public, I'll be linking to pokertableratings.com, the 'not so legal to Pokerstars' cash game tracking site to compare the stats I have with what the 'public' can see. It should be fun to see the discrepancies.
Here's what PTR have on me so far. As of today, after 285 hands, I'm running at a 35.18 BB/100 hand rate playing .02/.04 FLH!
I'll get into all the bankroll management stuff as I grind up to a workable bankroll.
This should be fun since in 2006, my bankroll building exercise was from freerolls and casino bonuses. This time, I plan to build the bankroll from playing microstakes cash games and tournaments.
