The $1 challenge - Page 4

about 2 weeks ago I took my money out of UB to pay some bills (I'm not much on bankroll management) and left my self a little under $15 to play around with, I worked it up to $75 and moved up to $.25/.50 and hit the absolutel coldest streak I ever had.

after that downswing, I was left with $3.50, and one less mouse (who knew I could get mad enough to break a mouse over .25/50).

Anyways, I got my $3.50 back up to about $5 in about 15 minutes last night, and I'm going to try and start again tonight to see if I can recoop and make a bankroll from virtually nothing. It's kinda fun really.

what is ARP

They're the player points at Absolute, I'm just too lazy to write out "player points." I actually have no idea what ARP stands for.

I have the exact same story. Except I only won 39 cents, and have had to do some very serious grinding.

I have decided to never ever pay my own money, which makes me pretty conservative with my bankroll.

I have kind of the same story. Got free $10 from Royal Vegas and blew it after I hit about $100, then got free $10 from Pacific and it's in five figures thanks to big cashes in the 200k this week and a 2nd in the 30k tourney a few months ago. Built up the original $10 cashing in two straight MTTs.

Gotta give a lot of credit to those who can grind out playing micro limits though, I tried to do it on Stars for about four months and just got way too frustrated (I was probably worse than I thought too). Actually lost most of my deposit.
