Today I made it to the final table in 30 mbtc new year poker freeroll. The competition was super tough, I made a bad bluff and secured 6th rank. My cash out was declined after 6-7 hours and I got this funny message



This is the proof of my winnings:


What the hell is this significant action? And why the hell do they conduct freeroll if they are not willing to pay.
 I will make a cash out request again and will update here. This is not professional.



Just open a scam accusation. I am a professional poker player and I know how it feels. They did the same thing with me at their sister site (nitrobetting),  Although I got my winnings after complaining here I never went there not for even freerolls.

It seems that you very quickly deviated from your original plans. Maybe you should first earn some amount of real money in order to play simple money games and not freerolls and then start the challenge? As for the analysis of hands, I think it will be interesting only after you show great success in poker  Wink

You have a gross misconception about my 'original plan'. Please take a moment and read before replying it is the second time you get it wrong.
I have never said that I will be only playing freerolls. Freerolls are just a stepping stone to get the initial money so that I can play real cash games since I was starting from zero balance.
Since I managed to build my bankroll up to 7k starting from freeroll now I think I should do away with them because they are sucking too much mental energy and screen real estate.

But why quit from it when you get to play from literally zero money to 7,000? A game of poker may be energy consuming but if you are playing with zero bankroll and end up with 7,000, even stress could go away. Remember that people are spending so much money on poker and other gambling games to drive away stress. But here you are having stress by playing with no money and even making a lot from it. It's very lucky for you to have a casino like that which offers free games and allows withdrawals without a deposit.
Again please read the whole post (If you really care) I only won 200 INR from freerolls ( which took almost a whole day of grinding). The rest of my bankroll comes from multi-tabling cash games and real money tourney which I started with the 200 INR which I won with freeroll. And it seems that you are not well aware of the poker world please tell me the name of any poker platform which does not offer freerolls (in one or other forms) and force you to deposit for cashing out. I guess you are coming from a casino perspective and trying to make an analogy between a no deposit bonus and freeroll. They both are quite different in nature because freerolls allow them to maintain enough liquidity for their low stake cash games, so I am lucky though not in the sense you are talking about. Almost 99% of poker platforms offer freerolls either in their main platform or one of their skins.


Anyways, you can come back again for another challenge now with pure real money.  It's a good time to show us what you got.

The pressure in playing with freerolls and real money is different hence with the latter, there's a time you will hesitate on some of your moves because there's real money at stake and you can't afford to lose that one while building a new challenge.

But you don't need to win always. At least you tried your best.

Please go through the whole post I am playing with real money.

Notice to all.
My bitcoin wallet has just reflected the deposit.
At first they said it was $100, but they were able to deposit the full amount of about $7000.
Thank you very much.

Also, since this problem has been solved, I think it's better not to mention it in this forum.
Since we're on the subject, why don't we change the way we think about faucets?
Rather than pointing out the misuse of faucets, I think it is strange that the number of faucets increases as the VIP rank increases.
Why don't you think about it on the management side of Paradice.in?
In order to prevent other similar people from doing the same thing.

Please post tx ID so that I can remove my negative trust. And if they paid you in full I might give them positive trust. Please share your wallet address or tX ID.

Some of you guys must have watched high stake slot players in their pajamas rolling thousands of dollars in single spin, buying hundred of thousands worth of bonus spins. If you notice closely yo will found the same pattern all over again and again. They start with loosing most of their bank roll (almost 80-90%), and then going all in at last and guess what, bingo!!! they hit hundreds of thousands of dollars. Very few of them write in their stream discerption about rolling with fake money (or money of which they can only cash out like 1%). Almost all of them scream loudly and show us that they are winning it in real, some are very good at faking it, which attracts lots of new gamblers (with false expectations) and they end up loosing it all which ultimately leads to social disharmony.
The argument they provide is as follow, ''we are entertainers/performers''. This need to be stopped. I am creating this thread to discuss such issues and to warn other new comers about the potential loss. If you have found such streamers please post here so that it can be helpful for new players to make realistic decisions.

You don't seem to understand what is actually immoral about this type of behavior.  It sounds like you're suggesting that these are faked streams from users who have some sort of nefarious intent to trick users.  That isn't really what's happening at all.  The immoral part of these types of streams is that the streamer isn't using their own money.  They are given money in their account for free to gamble with.  Viewers think the streamer would risk their own money, when in reality they never would.  The wins you see are real though.  The only thing that is fake is that they have nothing on the line if they lose.

I don't know how you get the Idea that I don't understand the perspective of morality which you mentioned. In fact that is the very spirit of my argument ( They are not using their own money and by performance giving us impression).
Since you are a learned and wise member perhaps I did not understand your perspective, if that is case please elaborate.

After getting this initial thrust to my bankroll. I want some help from the learned members of this forum on how should I approach this challenge? Not only that now I have decided to do away with freerolls as they are sucking up too much of my energy and screen real estate. I will be playing on different websites also because some of them are offering quite good value-for-money tourneys. In case you are interested in hand analysis please let me know so that I can share them also.
12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Poker bankroll building challenge. on: December 27, 2021, 04:29:03 AM
so, u'll be playing with 0?

what happens if you win any money?

will they allow you to withdraw?

as far as i know there are conditions on the amount won.

and it can't be withdrawn instantly.

u can pm me the name of the casino which run no-deposit freerolls.

Yes, starting balance was zero. You can directly cash out any winnings directly to your verified Indian Bank account. Almost every Indian poker site conduct freerolls regularly.

Is this really worth your time to play freeroll poker several times in a week with such low prizepool on every freeroll? How much you'll get to win the 1st prize? Is that a winner take it all or the prize pool is distributed to several winners?

Yeah in long-term you are right but I will be playing those for just to have starting capital since I want to build bankroll from scratch.
If you really want to challenge for one week, I hope you can update your thread every day so we know what you will play and how much you win or lose. The freerolls seem tempting because they are worth 15$ -30$ and you can get them frequently throughout the day. Hopefully, you can win for money and you will not have a problem withdrawing the money. If you have skills in a poker game, I think you can try to play that because, who knows, you can win the games.
Updated already. I will try to update frequently.

Good luck! It's all that you need in freeroll poker games with so many players and a quick timer! Only with a lot of luck, you can survive all those all-ins through the game... it's definitely not about the skills, it's about picking the right moments for an all-in and having the luck to win... all cards are playing, and too many times I had crazy outcomes on many hands!

I guess this is just fun... have a good time playing free rolls if you have free time, and if you are lucky you can make at least some bankroll and start playing paid tournaments, it's where poker is completely different! Good luck!
Though prima facie your argument is true but you can play tight and if you play enough of them its just a matter of time. And at the final table you will be facing easier opponents.
Bankroll management is one of the hardest things in poker because the swings we can experience when playing no limit holdem is insane. When playing other variants like potlimit then the swings are not so big as we won't be losing our whole buyin with one bad beat. When I first started out with poker I went up the buyins too quickly and ended up going broke a few times. It's best too play dynamically with our bankroll, so as soon as we lose a few buyins it's best to lower our stakes again.

Building a serious bankroll without any starting money is very difficult. Freerolls are usually full of players, so even if you can win 10 or 15 USD it comes down to number players. If you are competing with thousands of other players than your chances are very slim. In my opinion it's better go look for a good casino with 100 or 200% deposit bonus. Like that you have already a good balance to start with.

Good luck with your challenge.

Without any doubt bankroll management is very hard to master and one of the important skill but now a days players are going to theoretical about it which is slowing them down (If you want to play poker only for lifetime may be that is the way but it is not intended this time).
Thanks a lot for consideration.
With a free roll program it seems almost impossible to really achieve anything. I do remember that there was an American poker professional who turned 10 $ into 1000 $. Not sure about his name, it was around 2010 I think. The guy with the cowboy hat. That could theoretically still be possible. Very difficult from Freerolls. Worth trying. Maybe it's better to try a strategy with low stakes?

Yeah its difficult but that's the whole point of doing it beside that I am not setting any upper limit and you cannot go below zero so it will at least an experience.
I'll give some advice that could help you to have a good result from this challenge.
What is the freeroll grind ?
The freeroll grind is a method of grinding where you play a lot of tournaments in order to get the required points to enter other tournaments in order to reach a high level.
The basic idea is to have a lot of small wins during all the tournaments, aim for playing a lot of tables and at the same time try to play your own game.
You must have in mind that it's going to be hard to get a good result if you don't follow this advice!!!the key points that people usually forget are$$ play cash games first and never do freerolls when you're in bad mood because it is obvious that you can't play at your best with a bad mood!!
I am not sure if  you are talking about Chris Ferguson


Yeah initially I will be mulitabling with a more ot less tight approach.
Why does everyone write that OP is going to play freerolls? As I understand it, he has real $ 30 on his balance sheet and he is going to play with them first, and freerolls will be an additional help.
In any case, I wish him good luck and it would be nice if at the end of each day he wrote down the number of hands played and the final balance.
No there is no 30$ my initial bankroll was zero. You are right I will be playing both freerolls and real cash games but in order to play real cash games I will make bankroll from freerolls.

AFTER DAY 2 session 2     BANKROLL  = 7150 INR



AFTER DAY 2 session 1     BANKROLL  = 7000 INR


This session was much easier for me as I have accustomed to playing on multiple cash tables. I decided to buy in in a 50k GTD tourney with 110 INR. I managed to reach the final table and made a deal for almost 6k INR.


I played cash tables side by side while playing the early stage of the tourney. After initial variance, I managed to build my bankroll steadily. below is the graph for my cash game session.


After having some thought I decided to cash out 6.5k from the site to my bank account, just because it feels good and If needed I can always deposit back. From now I will be focusing on low buy-in tourneys and cash games at stake 0.5/1 as well as 1/2.





AFTER DAY 1 session 2     BANKROLL  = 605 INR


So after winning freeroll I decided to play cash games and sat down at 3 tables with max buy-in (50 INR) blinds were 0.5/1. I played exploitatively and trappy. This session can be summarized as me trapping a big fish with almost 500 bb starting stack. As I have only 4 buy initially I played super tight and waited for a strong hand with fish. I managed to trap him for almost 373 bb pot but he hits his lucky turn and I lost all which I grinded. But I bought in again and started grinding again and slowly building my stack again. Then again I trapped him but guess what he again got lucky for a 300 bb pot. At this moment I felt so tilted but somehow controlled myself and bought again for 50 bb. I knew that I am playing good and it is just a matter of time that he will hand me over his entire stack. So I keep playing and after some time I trapped him again and this time he could not get lucky and I won 251 bb pot. I knew now he will play more aggressively and I have to just wait for strong holdings which happened soon and he lost 451 bb and 134bb pot after that he was completely tilted and got busted soon. Below are the screenshots of hands against him;



Below is the graph of 220 hand which I played in this session;

   AFTER DAY 1 session 1     BANKROLL  = 200 INR
So final after playing 10 free roll I manage to win one
[/url]
so final balance now is 200 INR


I will be taking this one-week bankroll challenge from now on. Let's see how much money I can make out of it playing poker for the whole week. I will be playing on two Indian poker platforms (no need to mention the name as I am not promoting them). Both run freerolls worth 15$ -30$ frequently throughout the day.
Below is the screenshot of my initial balance.

If we have to send a winning multiplier via DM Then don't you think there would be less transparency as you will be the only person to know who had the highest multiplier.
I don't think any whale who is concerned about revealing his/her identity will participate in this 100$ giveaway. Most of the participants will be betting at very low limits just to qualify for this promotion.
So why not tell all to post their winning multiplier directly in the thread.

After reading the entire discussion (which popped out of nowhere after a long time), I decided to join the discussion again. The problem precisely is about the structures or moral values which are permitted through blind greed.
''Squid games are not immoral if everything is fair inside the system.'' This is exactly what blind greedy capitalism wants to promote. The question is not about it is fair or not, It is about the morality of it and what kind of patterns of behavior it can give rise to?
Blaming an individual's due diligence is cover under which multi-million dollar unregulated, greed-oriented casinos can go off propagating such moral codes.

Lol I'm not that good I wanted to give an update on this thread since it has been a while.

I have not actually started this challenge, due to school. However, I am committing to 25k hands. I could possibly get it done in a month. if I play 1k hands/day (very possible),

Stay tuned!
Good luck with your challenge, I hope to see some good results and hopefully we can see a new pro that we can proudly say is a member of this forum. 1k wins a day is a dream for many to do in a day just saying.
He is not talking about winning 1k$/day, instead he is saying that laying 1k hands.
17  Economy / Gambling / Re: There is no consistent money left in online poker cash tables, my analysis. on: May 25, 2021, 05:50:33 AM
Should I run a bankroll challenge?
Please do.
If you are able to beat micro stakes after 25k hands that must be an achievement. Live stream must be there with graph.

I had encountered with @CCwatcher420 several times in Bitcointalk Poker Series. Imo he/she is good at playing poker, and chances are we are going to see a new poker star in them in the future.

Can you please explain in simple words what does this magic "25k hands" mean? I've seen it on poker forums, but I don't understand why exactly this number, 25k? Thanks in advance!
Well it is because it is a large enough sample size to know if you are good at it especially if you are four tabling. Nothing is peculiar about 25k, it can be 30k or 20k. The idea is the more volume you put the less variance you will encounter.
18  Economy / Gambling / Re: There is no consistent money left in online poker cash tables, my analysis. on: May 15, 2021, 12:16:31 PM
Livestream would be a challenge. What sites do you play on ?

I play on pokerstars mostly. If you want to play anonymously with bitcoin choose 7xl, it is a skin of gg poker for crypto users.
