20 of 100 or less players will be receiving $200. at the end of 30 days. When starting with zero this is a great opportunity to very fast take off. If we are selected to receive the $20. we can work together. I will be hitting the $200 freerolls very hard as well as micro ring. Most players will come up empty before the 30 days and I fully expect to advance.

lolbear · 05-24-10, 11:52 PM

hope we are both selected and we both do well!

excel · 05-25-10, 09:35 PM

I think I'm gonna stick to .2/.4 possibly .5/.10 ring games until I build something sufficient(at least 100$)

sinmiedo · 05-25-10, 11:03 PM

i also got accepted................lets rock and roll>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CursedDiamonds · 05-25-10, 11:46 PM

Def. keep us posted. Cool promo.

no1here · 05-26-10, 10:19 AM

I am extremely glad to see you guys accepted. I do not know a thing but my feelings are that there isn't even a hundred players accepted due to lack of advertising of this great promo. I feel most will lose their $20 bankroll having no chance at advancement. I will not be touching my $20 stake and will hit the $200 freerolls for a bankroll. I suggest that you be not in a hurry and be patient for more facts. Advancing your $20 to any amount might be good enough to receive the $200. at the end of the first month. We should learn alot more during the first week of June and I will keep you posted on my findings and feelings as well as progress.

I am excellent at starting from scratch being the only way that I go. I join PowerPoker in March this year and cashed out $500 in April.

Good luck to us and may one of us win the 5K and pro sponsorship being awarded.

excel · 05-26-10, 04:40 PM

Sounds like a decent strategy. Just make sure you rake at least $10 the first month to move to round two. Then you gotta rake at least $2500 in three months just to be the winner.

sinmiedo · 06-01-10, 07:30 AM

i got my account credited with the 20. the more i thougth about using it via the frerolls and i belive is the smarted way to build and see if we can make the 200/-

Yes they are forcing one to win alot which is a good thing. I am still concern with winning very small amount for now and winning the full amount later. I am anxious to see leadership board and to find out how many will be rebuying which I would do if necessary in first month but won't be becaused I am not touching the $20. I will cash in one of six freerolls played and is my direction to start. Top 20% is our goal guys which is really reasonable for me. Good Luck guys and be patient until learning more.

no1here · 06-01-10, 10:34 AM

Just spent 40 minutes researching and not much learned. There are no privates available to me which sucks. Most freerolls are off games making this schooling that I actually need very badly as I have recently started league play using these bullshit games. Games available to me within current bankroll, interfere greatly with my league play on same network but different site. Looking at the $50/50 cents, $5. bounty $3/$2, 2K $3, and 2.5K $3. Lets rock & roll here and be sure to keep notes on your play including the hands that you go out on.

lolbear · 06-02-10, 10:17 AM

how legit do you think gr88 is? are they actually going to grant the rewards at the end of the promotion?

They are legit as can be and part of Merge Network including the likes of Carbon, PDC, Reefer, Walker, Wass, FeltStars and many more.

no1here · 06-02-10, 10:39 AM

Day 1 of Stake Challenge is now over with about 10 players running good but with very low increases with only doubling their bankrolls. We need to be concern with both our total bankroll and VIP points. I am big fan of Merge Bad Beat and will be gaining my points needed there and might even hit it. GR88 appears to be hiding total number of players involved leaving leadership board at 50.

lolbear · 06-02-10, 09:09 PM

lol was in the 200$ HORSE freeroll today. busted out on a razz hand where we both raised to max on 3rd 4th and 5th until I was allin. turned out he didn't even know how to play razz and got it allin with QQ882 against my A5292.. he picked up 2 lows and i got hit with the case 2 and a Q for a worse Q low.

blinds raised pretty quickly looks like its gonna require quite some luck and effort. pretty good for zero risks though

sinmiedo · 06-02-10, 10:46 PM

i did not do well on the 1st day. I lost almost all.
I only have 1.67 leftys/
the cash tables are a killer..............the play anything and they hit all the time. I play for about 6 hours not having the pleasure to win a hand. I won many pots by bluffing. When i had a good starting hand it got crushed.
i also play a seat and go for .60 cts. and finish bubble.
not good

sinmiedo · 06-02-10, 11:02 PM

good news.................I entered a 1 dollar freezout in the evening...........58 players, and let me tell you guys. a lot easer, a lot.
i FINSH 2ND AND CASH OUT 11.60.
i N MY OPPINION IS THE WAY TO GO, I WILL ALSO PLAY THE FREROLL AT -015 BUT THIS ONES ARE NOT EASY. EVEN IF WE CASH IN THEY WILL TAKE ABOUT 4 HOURS.
I need to manage the little of bank roll that i have left.
I also think that is something funny at the cash tables.
Like i said before, i spend a good 5 or 7 hours in it was a desaster, It did not matter what i made as a hand, everthing got crushed and all the draws where in favor to my opponents, i did get dreaws too, but those where second best and cost me a lot.
I would like to know how you all are doing in day 2.
For me day 2 was a lot, a lot better.
Good luck to all

Czu81 · 06-03-10, 03:30 AM

ohh my... I missed this promo.. GL guys!

no1here · 06-03-10, 06:42 PM

My ring was for crap with my Aces losing to kings and then running into straight flush. Down to $15 and disappointed that ring tables are scarce and Freerolls only pay top ten.

sinmiedo · 06-03-10, 06:57 PM

I m doing very well on the 10000 dollars freroll
see my post at the tread

Kindred · 06-04-10, 03:08 AM

You can get $50 at bodog or $100 at UB no strings every few months at pokersource.com

lolbear · 06-06-10, 03:47 PM

How is everyone doing? I feel the leaderboard is a bit sketchy since for the past few days there's always some guys near the bottom with a few dollars or less than a dollar left. I feel like those guys would just go allin and get it over with at some random table. I don't know if they are the same people though too lazy to check with names.

sinmiedo · 06-06-10, 11:38 PM

well//// i m keeping alive by playing seats and goes and .50 tournaments
i had 2 second places in the tourneys total of 28 dollars most of them lost at the cash tables..........they are brutal.
I belive that they have special soft rununning so i will keep at the tourneys and see.
i won 2 seats and goes......the competition is soft, and anyone can make it back to the money.
i was almos out on tuesday by having only a 1.50 in the account.
today i closed at 18

no1here · 06-14-10, 03:33 PM

Can a person develope an endless bankroll with a $20. stake? We are seeing it happening here with four off to great starts with the leader already up to $646.00 with second at $479.00. Two more have hit for over $237. The next six are above $46. but are well within reach.

There is endless free money in Poker and one should never deposit.

ttwarrior1 · 06-15-10, 12:04 AM

can i still email them and get in,

sinmiedo · 06-15-10, 07:59 AM

TT...........try and see, I belive that is not possible , but you always have the no ansewer.
I m doing very well, not at the top but with sufficient points to cash in next moth if i do mantain a my actual possition.
I belive that the leaders won some tournamnets and then hit thr tables or a few seat and go.
My strategi for now is to pla frerolls and small .50 tournaments in witch i finish 2 twice and 8th another time out of 7 that i play.
The cash tables are very challenging and find that is better to push with KK or QQ because the are calllers, every time that i try to play to maximise my earning i end up crushed by much inferior hands, and players, at the 10 25 cents there is more respect.

lolbear · 06-15-10, 06:52 PM

i wish i can find out how several guys manage to get it to above 600 one point or another (or right now). i guess it's really not that hard but im guessing those guys are pretty legit players

dentry · 06-16-10, 03:47 PM

JDUB07 · 06-16-10, 05:52 PM

Damn I wish I would have seen this promotion. Could have got an easy 5 grand. Hopefully they do it again sometime.

Anyone with a BR < 10k is worthless for poker.

no1here · 06-16-10, 07:48 PM

Anybody can still join, just need to be new player and only deposit $20. See rules for more info. Currently only 49 players with 12 no shows as well as 13 with funds too low to enter anything. This leaves only 24 current players but could be rebuys or new players. Turn $20 into $25 and receive $200.
