Operation 2k for summer time!

Ok my goal is for May 1st. It might be a hard goal to reach but its a worthy goal. I would like to make 2k by May 1st, so that I can withdraw up to 1.5k for a car this summer. Having a car would be very helpful for obvious reasons. And I would also be able to take a babysitting job(family friends 4 days a week for 7 hours each day)

That is my goal. Right now I stand at $200, with $130 in Totalpoker clearing a sign up bonus of $100. I hope to finish that bonus and have almost $500. I will then follow the 25nl bonus whore guide.


Does my plan seem reasonable?

Thanks for nay input or useful advice!

Good luck, Sir!

Sounds pretty reasonable but any car you buy for $1500 is going to create "operation fix my car" in a couple months. Is the $1500 going to be used toward a down payment or for the entire car?

I'm doing operation pay off my truck. I want 10k by year end. And by June 1 I'd like 4k. So we got similar deals.

You should be able to make it, specially if you still are eligible for a lot of bonuses.

Good luck man.

Well, I have never owned a car worth more than 1500, my first car a dodge spirit was a beast(except if i got below 1/4th of a tank it randomly ran out of gas) it ran fine till my girlfiriends sister interupted a make out sesssion saying somone hit my car and my car was on the streewt and had got pushed 20 feet down the street and totalled and the asshole dorve off.

My other car was 1.5k and I got in about a year ago, but my 'rents gave it to my sister its been running fine except for the brakes which needed to be replaced.


So I think 1.5k will give me an ok car to use during the summer and depending on how my job/poker gos I could be lookign to sell it and buy a new car.


Yeah I think I am eligible for all signup bonuses except maybe party and Royalvegas and absolute.

Im up to 136.20 I had a great session but got sucked out on twice which brang it down to an ok session, but I didnt tilt and made all the right plays, just go rivered twice and a guy made a str8 on JJ vs my QQ. Im gona try to clear this bonus by Wednesday.

Good luck with everything!

I cleared 300 hands of this so far, need to get in 700 more hands by Wednesday and then on to the next bonus.

Arg still need to clear 600 hands, today my alarm clock died and didnt wake me up at 7:30 it woke me up at 10 and displayed 0:00 for the time. So I missed my chem lab which I cant miss pissed because of that and now I will have to make it up Thursday or Friday afternoon so that takes away 3 hours of poker I was looking forward to.

I am up $50 right now. With the first part of the bonus I have about $180 on that site. Hopefully I can clear it by Friday afternoon since I might be going to MSU this weekend.



Once I clear this site I hope to have $400 so I have to make like $80 over the 600 hands left. If I can do this I will go to empire and do the 20% up to 100 and only get $80 in bonus money so that I can clear that really fast and be able to play 25NL and use easyTs guide.

So when does operation "Fk this baby sitting job" commence?

My parents hate poker. I cannt get away with no getting a job this summer unless I was pulling in like 2k in money I take outa my BR and put in my bank account a month. That wont happen so I have to get a real job, I could do construction or landscaping or the babysitting, the babysitting is less hours than construction would be so I will probably do that and play a lotta poker at night and stuff.

Operation "Fk my poker hating parents"?

Nope, more like free food and place to live, plus loans to go to school(I will eventually have to pay them back for all my schooling :()

So I guess I can put up with the one flaw of them hating poker.


But I think if operation car for summer time is a sucess and I can go home and open up my mail and hand them a check for $1500 I wont need to have "Operation Fk my parents"

Yet if I come home with a check for $1500 they will probably freak out and think I owe money to people and yell at me.

Between this and the steak dinner thread, I'm starting to wonder how often you made it to school with your lunch money still in your pocket.

Good luck on your operation.

My best session so far +29.51 in 1.5 hours 5 tabling, might not sound like a lot but 3 buyins seems good for that amount of time :)

Your plan can work, but i really don't recomend withdrawing money w/ a 2k bankroll. Why would you work at $3 an hour (or whatever your rate is) and then cash out, keeping yourself at $3 an hour. If you wait until you have atleast a br of $6000, you can be making a much much higher hourly rate, and not be wasting your time at a very low hourly rate. You are investing in yourself by not withdrawing now, and the return can be enourmous if you wait a while.

Do what you like, but the cashout syndrome is what holds alot of low stakes poker players back from becoming very rich.

I have Operation Car for summer time also. This is the car I want to get:

I win

http://img101.imagevenue.com/loc44/t...663_medium.jpg

wow that was a lil depressing I played 5 tables for 2 hours and made $-.08 All my AJ-K missed the flop, I got KK twice and flopped a set both time and everyone folded, it was like a ocudlnt make a hand for shit and when I did no one would play me. It sucked but what can ya do.

Didnt play all weekend from Firday to this afternoon got in two good hours and made 23 bucks. Still burning away at this 70 bucks I have left to clear. I have an itch for 25nl but I wotn let myself.

Hopefully I can finish this by the end of the week its taking longer then I thought it would. Wana get onto the 25nl guide.

I dont know if I will still be getting a car this summer, but I still have a goal of 2k and I am still as driven(pun intended) on reaching it either way.

wow good session up $35 in 30 minutes at 10nl is pretty damn good, to bad the first hour of the session was -$25 so I only made $10 total but Im glad I came back. I pushed the tilt monkey down the stairs put on my headphones and played good aggresive poker and it paid off.

Ok well hard past two days, I managed to drop 45 bucks on 10nl(and one 25nl table) That sucked some huge balls, I did the opposite of every move I should have made; ie somone raises huge on the flop when I have tptk I lay it down two big stacks get all in with Ano kicker and pocket 5s so I would have dominated. A few hands later same situation so I call and they show a set. Its getting fustrating but Ill just camp for nuts or 2nd nuts.

Got about 200 hands left on this totalpoker bonus if I had know it was contributed only I mighta gone elsewhere first its slow as hell but at least BB and SB count.


I think I might still have a chance at the goal, I just hope I can cash out sites pretty fast.

you can do this.

Two months - 60 days, $2000, $33/day.

You're not playing enough. Stop taking weekends off. Get your bonuses cleared. Doesn't matter if you're pulling all nighters - get em done.

How bad do you want it?

ARRRRRRR I WANT IT BAD! Thanks for doing the math I betta get my ass in gear!

2k is easy man. Starting from say,... $50 would not be easy, but $300-400 would be much easier

Ya man its like a job. You have to put in the time to make the money.

$33/day is cake playing for bonuses. Harder while playing $10NL.

But the larger your BR gets, the faster the growth comes. Waiting periods for cashout/redeposit become less significant.

The more rooms you sign, the more reload offers you get.

The more you play, the more skill you earn.

You can do it. We can help.

Ok well, finished up at total poker, but...... to withdraw from total poker they mial you a security number that you need to withdraw, I registered on the 8th, tomorrow Ill call my mom whem she gets home from work to see if she got it, it better be there 14 days is enough time.

if its not there anything I can do with the 67.59 in my neteller account while I am waiting?


ohh by the way I am up to 353.68 for my bankroll a little below what I hoped but I think I will clear one of the party skins 20% bonuses since they can be cleared at 10NL and hopefully be up to $500 when I clear that.

ie somone raises huge on the flop when I have tptk I lay it down two big stacks get all in with Ano kicker and pocket 5s so I would have dominated. A few hands later same situation so I call and they show a set.

You do realise here that your first fold was correct so you should have done the same the second time, right? Cos if not you're in trouble. DON'T BE RESULTS ORIENTED.

Its not really results oriented, its like play money, 50% of the time is a total bluff 50% of the time they have a hand at 10NL. I have seen people call 5 dollar all ins with T high on the river at 10NL so calling an allin with TPTK on the flop I think over time is probably +EV for 10NL.

yay fpr my mom <3 Im so glad I told her to stop throwing out my junk mail or that woulda been in the trash. Now I just have to wait a half hour so I can call her and start speed whoring the party skins!


Hi Zach, How are you? I got something in the mail from your poker thing, It came from another country, which is kind of scary. Do you want me to mail it or do you want me to call you with info..... Also I am planning your B-Day party for either Sunday, March 5 or or Saturday March 11.... Are both those dates good for you before i ask your aunts and grandma? Also what do you want to eat at your party, please give me a list of your favorite foods and desserts. Everyone will be asking what they can bring. Love, MOM

Suck my dick bitches, it sucks when my whole BR is in limbo when I could be knocking out a party skin bonus in a day

Im becoming doubtful of reaching my goal..... its taking so long to cash out from sites. Im still waiting on total poker I could have taken out a few 500 raked hands party skins this weekend....

Well see. Ill be overjoiced to hit 1k by may 1st and think that would still be a huge acomplishment but 2k is still my goal.

Got cashed outa total this morning, cashed into PokerNow and am clearing a 20% bonus by two tabling 25NL(Im a lil underroller for it) its clearing really fast so I should be done with it tonight after I do some homework.

Hopefully cash out and deposit at empire in the morning.

Off to a good start at 25NL, I got my KK allin preflop vs AA and rivered a K, 25nl is a lil scary for me because the money matters to me lol

Gets the blood pumping



wow 25nl is fun :)

Im not sure Empire is running any bonuses right now. Even the sign up bonus may be gone. I was reading on BW yesterday and someone was complaining about it. I would check before depositing. Hopefully I am wrong.

edit: I hope its not wrong to post this link here, but if it is someone let me know and I'll remove it or one of the admins can. This is the link at BW talking about Empire. Check it out before depositing there, I may be misreading it.

Ok I can do other ones and see how it turns out.

You might check with them first to see though. That link might not have been talking about first time sign up bonus. I couldnt find anything else on it though.

knocked out 200 raked hands tonight, I have to write two papers, for tomorrow. And then tomorrow I have to study for a Bio test on thursday so finish the two papers for tomorrow tonight do a bit of studying tomorrow I have 8 hours of class so get back form class study and knock out the rest of the raked hands and cash out and then depending on when they withdraw take out the next bonus.

100 hands left to clear tonight, fucking felt good at the end of my session when this happened http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...ic.php?t=29981


Gona study some bio for my test tomorrow and relax after I went on that 7 hand hot streak(I waited till my BB on all the tables and left after that not wanting to go crazy)

Cleared it finished with $522! So I made $92 at 25NL and $70 in bonus.


Cashing out to neteller and probably going after the jetstes bonus tomorrow.

deposited 500 at river bell, its a 100+25 bonus at 7x hopefully I can clear it pretty fast

Riverbelle could be my screw up, so Far dropped $60 there had a lot of suckouts. All in on the river my trip Jacks, the guy hit his gutshot on the river. Another hand tonight AK, A on the flop played back and forth I put him on A no kicker, we flip Im right, hits his kicker on the turn. Got my KK in preflop vs AA twice there. Its 20NL Im not folding KK preflop maybe I should but its 20NL!!!

Im stressed right now only have 320 hands done, seems like every time I sit down I clear less and get more fustrated.


I might do some casino whore after this to relax and make a ton of easy money.

You'll encounter negative variance somewhere dude - just keep playing the A game and ride it out.

See I think its half, variance half I am new to the game and just doing stupid shit.




Once I get to 2k bankroll from whoring. Im gona get poker tracker, and start at 25NL and log 5k hands and if I complete those 5k hands with 7.5bb/100 then move up to 50nl.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo a dark fucking tunnel of despair. I managed to drop maybe 90 bucks in about a half hour. flopped a set of 9s a guy decided he needed to call me down to the river and make his gutshot str8.... that was fun. Pair of Tens flop comes J44 I check two other guys check, turn is a ten, a guy best about 6 I call other guy calls river makes a flush a guy bets half the pot I push he calls he shows JJ. AQ I raise two callers flop comes 46Q I raise, push, other guy pushes I CALLL!!!! he shows 44 other guy shows KK(I was on tilt by then)


I deposited $500 I now have $330, the bonus is for $125 I still have to play 200 hands.

Would anyone like as a Birthday Present to me to finish my 200 hands!?! Its my birthday today and Ill cry if I want to.

Well screw my goal..... Im done with that.

Im done with the riverbelle, my bankroll is in ruins.... Im gona go casino whore once I get my money outa riverbelle. Buy pokertracker and play 10k hands of 10NL whats a good place to play 10NL?

Heya man I'm in a somewhat similar situation to you, except I've been profiting (With the exception of totally fux0ring Casino.net but that's for a different thread).

If I were you I'd reccomend casino whoring your bankroll to $800 if it's not already there so your properly bankrolled for $25 NL and play that instead of $10NL. I jumped up from $2NL and I can tell you right now I'm not having any trouble making upwards of 4BB/100. I'd imagine too that you'll be able to play more sites since $10NL is semi-rare as well as being able to casino whore a lot easier.

If your multitabling, which is what I'd expect I'd HIGHLY reccomend getting PokerTracker as well as PokerAce Hud. These two products have been a monumental aid in my play and improvement as a player.

After doubling my bankroll at $2NL to $100 and whoring up I'm now getting close to being able to afford that juicy new 20.1" LCD screen so I can quad table without overlap. Then once I reach $3000 I can start doing $100NL and then whos knows. The great thing is that your bankroll should increase at an exponential rate if you take little to none of it out. I don't plan on taking any out (unless its to reinvest in myself as a player) until I am able to consistently win $20/hour. Ambitous? Maybe, but with every dollar my bankroll increases so does my confidence.

The key to success is planning. I'm not a great poker player yet but I know if I plan accordingly some day I can be. Perhaps someday I won't need a job and money will be a non-issue since I've earned so much in poker. But I know I won't ever get there without a solid plan.

I know you too and most people on this forum can accomplish whatever goals they set out to achieve. Best of luck to you and if you'd like help or anymore of my limited insight feel free to shoot me a pm or email.

I wouldn't give up just yet. You're getting sucked out. It happens quite a bit. I dropped $150 of my bankroll the day before yesterday (with a $500 bankroll that is significant) playing SNGs. I got sucked out every which way to christmas. My personal favourite (or most anger inducing). I raise 6X BB with AA, some guy calls. Flop comes 332. Fairly safe. I bet big, he thinks for a bit, goes all in, I put him on JJ-AK, I call, he flips of 34os. He called a 6x BB raise (like 1/4 of his stack at the time) with 34os?

Anyway, the point is it happens. I withdrew all my money into my neteller and temporarily "quit" as a result of that $150 loss. Yesterday, after calming down I made back about $100 of that money. I played the same poker I played the day before, and the same idiots called me with the same stupid hands, but this time they didn't suck out. And the majority of the time they wont. I played 4 SNGs on river belle and won two of them (with some other SNG placings on party too).

Fundamentally if you get your money in when you have the best hand, you're playing good poker. It makes you angry at the time, but if you make good decisions and get sucked out you're still going to make money in the long run.

Tips from someone in a similar situation.

First of all you need $500. This is your biggest hurdle of all, because once you get $500 you can whore effectively, and 2k will be super easy to attain. I started over with 500 last week and im alread 75% there.

Another good thing about 500 is that you can play 25nl. Murdoc said 800 is properly rolled, I feel that 500 is sufficient unless your game needs a LOT of work. I am not that good at all (only been playing about 40-50k hands) and my winning rate at at 25nl on Party is at a stable 8bb/100, which translates to roughly 10 bucks an hour five-tabling.

As far as getting to 500, that's tough. You're just going to have to grind it out at the 10nl tables until then. Just play squeaky tight (13% vpip or lower) see 90% of flops when you have a pocket pair, etc. Read Aokrongly's stuff about super tight play.

Yeah, I had 520, when I deposited at riverbelle dropped 200(WITH THE BONUS) so I am at 360 when I withdraw. I dunno I might casino whore a few of the ones where you wont lose your initial deposit even if the shit hits the fan. Then take 500 and start whoring again. Just was a huge set back when I finally thought it was smooth sailing.

I still have problems downloading river belle. :oops:

My last 2 sites where i bonuswhored where totalpoker and casino.net and both i had terrible beatings and only managed to break even.
I hope to get out of this downswing now,im playing on pacific poker atm.
My goal is 2k by the end of the next month,so i can try and play 50NL.(im a bit scared playing with lower BR for 50NL :p)

Anyway gl in ur whoring journey.

BTW if I wasn't clear in my post. When you get 500

DO PARTY FIRST.

Party and friends have ridiculously easy to clear bonuses. Party Poker alone has over 360 in bonus money that can be cleared inside a week if you put in the table time.

I used an instantbankroll promotion to recieve $100 at partypoker to start my bankroll, I dont know if I am elgible for their first deposit bonus.

I am in the process of withdrawing from riverbelle(god damn their souls ;)) once I get to $500 form casino whoring then Ill email Party and see if I am eligible.(Plus I had to lie to party saying I was 21 but neteller acount has correct info on my age would this be bad?)

Thanks for all the support and advice.

Let me re-iterate. I think your goal for 2k is great, but please do not buy a car while you are making $4 an hour or whatever. Why did you go to college rather than go straight to working after high school? Most likely it was so you can get a good paying job later on in life. You are foregoing money and things you want now, so as to have a better job later. Poker is exactly same, except its easier to get rich playing poker than by getting a degree.

Hi, Renton.

I have $420 and am currently playing on Pacific working my way upto $500. How would getting to 2k be super easy? I'm aware theres probably a lot of info on this in the forum, but I was looking for your exact strategy (what sites to move onto at what times etc) since you are playing the same limits as me and you have apparently almost made it.

Also is a Neteller account necessary (I deposited my $20 start by a card)?

Sorry for invading your post PZ.

If you can beat the 25nl on the party skins (by beat I mean like at least 5bb/100), then you can whore 2k in a fairly short period of time. Like I mentioned to PZ, its important to have an extra 1k or so to use to initiate bonuses at sites simultaneously, otherwise cashout lag will slow you down significantly. However, you will only be "gambling" with 500.

Got back to school today checked my neteller moneys in there from riverbelle, I deposited $100 at Starluck, and hopefully I can clear this while I have nothing to do. AND COME OUT AHEAD!!!

It would be a nice confidence booster to make $100 in a few hours.


WOOT! I prob played only like an hour and a half, I made 3 3dollar bets at a time. Cleared it with 241. Meaning +$100 from bonus and +$41 from blackjack, so total profit for an hour +$141!!

Ill go whore the one thats the same as Starluck later tonight.

YARG! busted outa planetluck(fucking luck for the dealer) playing 3 handed 4 dollar bets and the dealer hitting blackjack or drawing insanely to 21 like 10 hands in a row is to much fun.

Still, $141 is about the average return from the two casinos, so don't feel hard done by.

I've been trying to turn around a horrific downswing (caused, I'm sorry to say, by 4 or 5 foolish-to-fucking insane all-ins, a habit I thought I'd dumped back in September) over the weekend and had a moderately profitable Saturday, so all you need is one day of reasonable success and your enthusiasm will return, I promise you.

My actual return from casino whoring both comibined will be +$41

Once I can withdraw tonight I think I gona go play 10NL and build my bankroll to $500 this way. I was thinking PokerStars?

rawr I should play 10NL professionally, averaging about $12-15(conservative but small sample size) per hour.

Gona play till I reach $550 buy pokertracker, and play 25NL a few thousand hands at 25NL on Stars plug some leaks then bonus whore.

I might not hit my goal but....

Improving as a player > Temparary Goal

Well I ended up depositting at Stars during their promo peroid. So I got a $30 bonus sitting their.

I think Im gona play 30 5.50s to clear it.

Hopefully I can clear this over the next week or so. A decide what I am doing. I need to concentrate more on school right now. So poker is on the back burner.

Already played one and was the 5-1 chip leader going heads up, I would dwindle him down and he would catch a hand and return to where we started. Finally I thought I has him A7 vs KT, but he caught his T. I was a lil ahead I caught AQ in the BB, he called I raised(pretty typical when he called) he pushed(had done this a few times) I called and he showed AK. Pissed that I let a chip lead like that go...

Im playing the 6.5 turbos now. Still having fun and winning got an ROI of about 50% over 15(6.5s and 5.5s)

1/3rd of the way to clearing the bonus.

Good luck Zach! What kind of vehicle are you getting?

Im not sure yet, I might just wait till the end of summer since my goal is pretty far out of reach. This summer I should have a lot of time to play poker tho so we will see. Hopefully I can scrape enough together for something thats better than a clunker.

Once you have $500, you're not allowed to even think about playing NL$10, kay? Never again! :)

Good luck.

ya the NL25 is far more predictable play and hence more profitable. I fiddled around with NL10 for a little while when I first started and it sucked, so I just bought in for 500 and played NL25.

Yeah I killed 25NL at Pokernow. 20NL(and 50NL buying in shortstacked not the best idea while on tilt) at riverbelle killed half my bankroll tho thats including the bonus. Probably on track to hit $550 around the time my stars bonus is cleared from the 6.5s. Will get pokertracker and hit up some bonuses.

The 6.5s are working out good for me. I feel like I have a huge advantage on like the bubble a lot of the guys seem clueless. Plus I can start up two tables of it and no have to worry about them lasting too long.

I went on a huge heater and won every coinflip for a few hours and took two first and 2 seconds outa 6 SnGs. Then Lee Jones doomswitched me and I got two outered to hell for a day or two. Everythings cool now my ROI has dropped but what can ya do?

ROI ~ 31%
Played ~ 35(5.5s and 6.5s)
FPP ~ 108

Once I am done with the Bonus AND have $550 its poker tracker and 25NL time :)

fuck, havent slept in 32 hours, Im feeling a monent of clearity and two tabling. Just had a nice hand hit.

88 I call guy raises 3Xbb I call. Flop comes AK2 I check he checks, turn is a 8, I bet out 3/4pot. he calls. 2 on the river. I bet out almost the pot he raises I push, he calls. He shows AA and I lost with a smile. No way to put a guy on aces with aflop like that, I figured AK trapping on the flop at best. Good hand tho.

ok so once my neteller gets verified I am getting poker tracker and playing 25NL on stars. Going to try to play 250 hands a day at the minimum. Finals are coming up and I have 3 papers due for writing so Ill be busy.

Ill probably 4-5 table Stars with a HUD from pokertracker.

Should I be able to sustain 5big bets/100?

Why play on stars for no bonus?

I dropped about half of my bankroll trying to clear a bonus at riverbelle. There are some bonuses that are very enticing tho. I might play like a few thousand hands get my confidnce at ring back and go bonus whore. Last time it wasnt pretty.

I really want to bonus whore tho :)

you'll have a much easier time getting your confidence back if you play the 25nl on party instead of stars.

Might as well email support and ask them if I am eligible for a bonus or not.

I realized something, the reason I have been not doing good with bonuses is because I worry to much about bonuses and not as much about playing good solid poker.

Last night I sat at 3 50euro NL table and bought in for 10 at each. I realized how stupid I was. Im gona just two table the 20NL table with max buyin and play solid poker and not worry about how many hands I have left.
