[Zero To Hero]

[Zero To Hero]

The thread title is a reference to Chris Ferguson's project, but it has been used sometime now.Starting from zero on pstars? Tough, the freerolls often are too overvisited (by loose players, making it a full-out gamble-fest). and you may find it hard to even fish out anything like 10 cts. You can try other rooms, but it'll mostly be the same there. Face it, we can't all be Chris Fergusons, and even he took 6 full months to bring his stack to 6.50 from 0, zo don't count on it unless you feel a luckfest coming your way.Gl at the tables.

Thanks to Poker Stars for their 300 fpp give away ! From zero into a 70 fpp satellite wich gave me a nice 11 T$. Now up to 15 $ so my bankroll is started ! Objective : 40 $ before monday

When you have the best hand. The way you talk it's like there is no difference between 7-2 and A-K if you haven't seen the flop

Dude, WE ARE THE SAME except that your an 23yrs old American and Me a 19yrs Old Canadian loll enough said, I feel exactly like you when I lose because I read that human mind wants to go even when we lose and that's what seperate long term winners and long term losers. I really want to work my mind to toss off those bad beats and bad runs to improve my long term wins. Just take a look at my thread to see how I lost my entire bankroll in a single night...Here It's awful..Best of luck dude ! At least I know that I'm not alone in this situation.

Well I suck. I'm a good poker player but a nasty bankroll manager. I can work out to turn a 10 $ into 100 within a week easily but the problem is that I got broke. Worked my bankroll like a good little boy since that scary night happened. I lost my entire stack on 2 tables back to back with the craziest bad beats ever. (once had K-K v.s 5-5 and caught his set on the river call my crazy raises all along on 10c/25c 6 handed) anyway. I had 95$ in my bankroll and went down to 70 $. It's not that extreme but my mind turned off and obliged me to win back that lousy 25 $ that i lost. So, i decided to buy in 30 on 25c/50c that i also lost with some lucky catch form my opponents. Then, I went on tilt (like a total loser) and lost that 30 $ too. 95-25-30=40$. Well after those 3 hours of losing strike I said to myself. I lost more than half of my roll in 3 long hours so it's all or nothing . I decided to buy in short stack 40 $ on 50c/1$ and played quite tight with a couple of blind steals every one or 2 orbits. Everything worked well till the moment my stack when up to 90 $. Wow i only had 5 $ to grind before i could get even so I decided to play very tight to get out as fast as possible. Up to 93 $ i found a Nice A-Q suited in front of me so I decided to play it. A crazy donkey next to me (on my left) pushed some nasty hands all-in in order to win blinds or lucky pots almost all the time. His stack was only 15 so i decided to call him. I didn't know right away but he had K-4 off suit so I made the right read/decision. His king was a king of spade. The flop gave him only 2 spades.Odds Being like 80-20% in favor of me (because I also caught my queen on the flop) put me in a good position. Well NO!, that 20 % underdog caught a river flush King high to double up in my face. After that, everything fell apart and I lost all my stack in only 45 min. Got owned with better kicker, 2nd pair caught post-flop, couldn't improve my good draws etc. So here I am. Broke, frustrated and mostly sad. I love playing poker and kinda feel comfortable with my game style. The only problem is when I lost a decent percentage of my Roll I freak out and lose even more. I'm not asking any anger management tips or donations from players but only what is the best way to start from scratch with a 0.00$ bankroll and 23 fpps. I can't put more in my account form my card. Help please . Freerolls are almost impossible with 10 000 players that only 80 will make it to the next 10 000 players tourney with a small 2k$ price pool. I also only have 2 buy-ins for the 10fpp 500$ added tourney. So is there any ways to start form scratch or I'll just have to wait for my card to allow me to put more chips in? I'm far to be a compulsive loser player, I'm just really passionate in Poker.ThxPlease don't tell me that I suck I already know it

So, what is going on now where are you up to ? any noticable progress ? keep updating!

Played for about half an hour today, was up $5 but right before I left the session KK ran into AA... I hate that.

Dude I totally know what you are talking about. You know when you click ''sit out next hand'' then you have your LAST hand and you find out a nice A-K suited , K-K, Q-Q ... Then you raise and a player reraise you. Then the flop is total garbage and you end up losing what you worked on for the past hours...Worst than being stabbed in the back or similar.. One advice, get over it real quick before it start smelling like TILT because thats your real enemy.PeAcE !
