Building my online roll again

If you read forums on the internet a lot of micro stakes players ask what tourneys they should play to build their rolls, most of them oscillate between $50 and $300 to start with. The most common answer I found is that the $2 Turbo 180 and $4 180 on Stars are very soft and very donkish, thus the best place to start.

So I gave the $2 Turbo 180 a shot this morning even though I hate Turbos because of the shovefest nature of it all. But hopefully you can get lucky, catch some cards and survive long enough to cash, because the final table is where poker is actually played.

To the hands:

You can't teach that! QUACK QUACK!

I am a huge luckbox on the bubble...But to be fair it was maybe a little worse than a coin flip preflop so, standard.

There was one instance where i had 77 on the BB with a MP raiser who raised 3xBB to 3k. Too bad I only had like 8k at that time, i would have loved to call, or even push but felt like I could wait some more since we were very very close to the bubble. Unfortunately I didn't get any more hands after that and exited in 13th for a minimal cash....grrrr final table is where the cash starts to go up.

Anyways, it was fun and I will most likely play those again, if I can get lucky maybe I can make a little who knows?
