Without looking, I'm going to guess that despite the fact that you can't maintain a bankroll you've been posting advice in the small stakes NL forum.

Post me a song about how cool I am and I will send you money.

actually, i can maintain a bankroll. off a $50 deposit on pacific, i turned it into 400 in about a month and a half(only able to play it a couple hours a week), at which point i was forced to withdraw because grades came out. lol

Sounds like you should be focusing on your grades.

Re: anyone feeling generous today?
 
I don't mind xferring you a couple bucks, but if your grades are so bad that your folks made you withdraw (I'm assuming?), you really should start trying to focus on school work a bit more. Seriously dude.

although true, i am nearly eligible(in parents eyes). only motivation for my grades is to play football. but i am pretty much there, so i dont need to focus as much on grades. i have been focusing on them the past two months, and now i need a break and play poker. its been too long

they make me withdraw if i was lower than 3.5 gpa(possible 5.0 scale). i had a 3.1
i didnt think it was that bad, but they werent pleased. so they take away poker.

slickpoppa 04-30-2005 02:34 PM

Re: anyone feeling generous today?
 
How would your mom know the difference between you depositing and someone else sending you neteller money? It sounds like you lost your roll and are being an internet bum. Have some self respect.

tworooks 04-30-2005 02:37 PM

Re: anyone feeling generous today?
 
the neteller is linked from her bank account to neteller. she would probably notice when there is a $100 transaction from her bank account going to neteller. she doesnt check neteller, so its not like she goes on there to see transaction history. i would just be playing when shes not home, when at friends houses, etc.
i understand why u think that about internet bum and lost my roll. i dont really know what to say to convince you that im not. its legitament(sp?), so i dont mind

No, he's been posting asking for advice in Home Poker on how to start a casino in his basement. You should definitely go to that thread and make fun of him there.

As far as bankroll management is concerned, cut him some slack. When I was his age, I was making what seemed like scads of money from my friends playing home poker (which is what I advised OP to do instead of trying to open up a casino). However, I'm not sure that I ever really hung on to it for too long. There was always fast food, gasoline, and Dungeons and Dragons books [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] to buy...not to mention needing handfuls of quarters to waste hours playing cutting edge video games like Gauntlet and Karate Champ.

One thing to remember is that he probably needs his mom's help to deposit at all. He was probably had too little money when he deposited and really couldn't withstand a little bad downswing.

Now, this doesn't mean that he ISN'T a losing player. But he might not be just based on the info we have.

If they had internet poker (or even just internet) available when I was under 18, I'd be sorely tempted to play online. I bet my grades would have suffered too.

im not really sure if you are referring to me needing help from my mom as in im using her money, but if you are, then thats wrong. i've had to use my own money from the beginning. thats true that i had little room for a bad downswing, at the beginning. but once i got a little lucky early on, i built it up a little bit, and i made a nice profit.
but if you are saying that i need my moms help to deposit because i need her bank information, then yes, you are right.

School will be out in about a month or so(maybe less). Focus on your grades, try to make good grades on your exams, and then you can play as much as you want during the summer.


Of course, this probably won't help if you are bad at poker, which I think may be the case.


(Did I really just type the word poker in OOT?)

While I disagree with their choice to take away poker when you have a pretty decent GPA, they are your parents and they think this is best for you, you are underage, and you shouldn't be sneaking around doing something like that anyways.

Just get your grades up and don't worry about poker. How old are you? Sharpen up your game by playing freeroll tourneys on pokerpages and stuff if you realllllly need the game.

tworooks 04-30-2005 02:48 PM

Re: anyone feeling generous today?
 
seems to be consensus that i suck at poker. makes sense, cuz im the one asking for a short term loan to play poker. also i dont really have a way of proving myself, because when i played on pacific, pokertracker wasnt yet compatible. but the decision is up to u guys. im not desperate for money, because once i am allowed to deposit, i have plenty to deposit. but i really cant stand waiting longer.

David04 04-30-2005 02:49 PM

Re: anyone feeling generous today?
 
I'm just curious about a few things. How old are you? How long have you been playing poker? And why the HELL would you play at Pacific?

c'mon, playing freerolls isn't sharpening up.

so, you're gonna take the $10 donation, turn it into about $10k and use that to fund a casino in your mom's house?

it would really suck if you're making $500/day at the home casino and have to close it down b/c you cant keep a "B" in social studies. have your investors accounted for this in their risk analysis models?

16.47 years old. been playing since last june, started online last october. i play at pacific because im not very good at multi-tabling. with the huge fishiness of the games, i cant pass it up. also, the problems with connections that a lot of people get, hasnt affected me yet. the games there are just too easy.

Sorry, I only donate to people that can spell 'legitimate'. It's a reward to those that have made it through the school system successfully.

David04 04-30-2005 02:57 PM

Re: anyone feeling generous today?
 
Here's my best advice on how to get a roll without depositing anything. Create an account at UB. 3-table the play money games as much as you can for a month or so. You get one Ultimate Point for every hour at the table(3 per hour if you play three tables).

Play around 2 real hours a day, and at the end of the month you will have around 200 Ultimate Points. Play the 100 Ultimate Point SNG's(very soft). When you have enough Ultimate Points, you can enter any real money MTT(UB has a $1 MTT every night at 10:20 EST, costs 250 UP's to enter.)

Play some $1 MTT's at 250 UP's apiece, and when you make a cash, you can build your BR playing .01/.02 NL(extremely soft)

If that sounds like too much work, concentrate on improving your grades and deposit your own money.

So your parnets are cool w/ you running a full service casino in thier basement, but not w/ you playing small stakes online?

Seriously if you have not read the "home casino" thread it's priceless [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Skipbidder 04-30-2005 02:58 PM

Re: anyone feeling generous today?
 
I certainly meant that you needed your mom's help by needing her credit card number or bank account info or whatever.

Aren't you hanging out with anyone who is old enough to actually be able to sign up for an account for themselves?
Offer them half of the signup bonus for use of their bank account info to sign up in the first place. (Have them enter it themself if they are worried about you having that info.) You could give them cash up front, which would eliminate any of the issues you would have with someone here regarding loaning money.

Maybe some 2+2er who lives near you would take cash in hand to transfer money to your account somewhere.

i would definitely be up for that.
i live in san diego, and lakeside to be exact. this would be awesome, great suggestion.

tworooks 04-30-2005 03:04 PM

Re: anyone feeling generous today?
 
that might be worth trying if i cant get anything. i didnt know that u could get points just from playing in the play money tables. i'll check it out. thanks

tripdad 04-30-2005 03:13 PM

Re: anyone feeling generous today?
 
you should definitely be focused more on girls and grades than internet poker. all your internet activity should be focused around pornography.

having said that, i do feel sorry for you. PM me your neteller e-mail addy...i will send a few bucks.

cheers!

What ever happened to this idea?

tripdad 04-30-2005 04:39 PM

Re: anyone feeling generous today?
 
tworooks' neteller account has not been verified, therefore, he cannot accept a transfer.

if anybody wants to help him out, you can transfer me the $$ by neteller, then i will transfer it to him on a poker site.

or, he could open an account at stars, in which case, there is no minimum transfer amount, and we could all send him a dollar or some change..

cheers!

Re: anyone feeling generous today?
 
When you get your bankroll, you might want to prevent your parents from taking it from you again by keeping some of your bankroll on a pokersite that you don't play in.
