sounds good good luck sir......
good luck to u fella
Good luck with your goal, keep us posted. I final tabled one of the $99 Daily and won $11 and a MTT Hero Victor accolade. I am now determined to win the three micro tourneys that are played in the evenings for $0.33 each (PLO, NLH, and HORSE) which are suprisingly good games for the buy-in. The other evening freeroll (Hero Triumvirate $100 GTD MTT) is a great freeroll to play every night $50 goes to 1st, $30 goes to 2nd, and 3rd gets $20. The other free game I like to play (US residents are eligible) are the PLO Hero Arena 24 man $1 GTD and funsteps. I am really curious to see how everyone going for zero to Hero is doing.
I've been doing this for about 2 months now. I'm at 21.77.
Good job. Limit games are also a good way to run up a bankroll.
The last $5 I just made in the last couple days. I just hit the point in my BR where I'm comfortable playing limit, so I've been playing some today along with SNGs... on top of all the FRs and Fun Steps!
went from $0 to $170 withdrew before p2p now back at $30
Good luck with your plans for building up a roll from zero.
I try the same with carbon. Good Luck.
Nice guys! Keep up the good work! It is always encouraging to hear the victory stories of others! I'm at $10 right now...
Wishing you good luck... but I'm still gonna bust you out every chance I get :D
Decided against a big flip.
Got too nervous and decided it's not worth swinging for the fences.

Gonna try to get at least 5 buy-ins for each of my desired style.
Edit: Won 5th Freeroll in a row at 137th place: $0.65 USD
I can never make my OOOO's go to Hero'sssssssssss!!!
I think this is a wise decision. If you want to be able to keep making a run at the money, then you should build your bankroll up enough to use BRM.Quote:

Seeing that I had 2 buy-ins for a micro HU Sn'G, I played and cracked some Russian guy's AA.

Great work! I don't play Hero or Carbon except for the PO Freerolls. It's not that I'm new to the state or repitions of their RNGs, it's just the people; I'm used to playing Russian donks.Quote:

I can appreciate your run, hopefully though, you're kidding about the "hero" part.
Congrats man you are doing well. I would try to play slightly more aggressive when you hit on the flop in your HU SNg's but good job
Thanks!Quote:

Got him all-in when I called a flop bet with nothing hoping to raise a flush draw on the turn:

P.S. Thanks, PBB for showing me the BOOM thing!
0-220 on hero til the bad news today :( still wondering where the $ will end up.
I am really curious to see how everyone going for zero to Hero is doing.
Won an easy HU Sn'G. She/he only 51 matches so I think he/she got tired after the 50th or so hand. Didn't really give up or anything---just made some really bad decisions.
