A couple of weeks ago etrong was kind enough to start my bankroll off, he gave me $5 as the winner of his FTP starter bankroll competition! I promised I would run a similiar competition for every x amount of profit I made, unfortuntely I bust on the first day! =(
Well despite me going bust on FTP I've managed to make a small profit on Pokerstars so can now honour the competition!
Please only apply for this if you have zero balance on pokerstars, as this is to give those without the opportunity to play a chance to start a bankroll.
To enter it is very simple - please state the reasons why you would like the starter bankroll of $5 and also state your plan of how you will spend it, what you will play etc...All entries are to be judged by Etrong. There is only one prize available good luck all!
Closing date for entries is tomorrow at 10pm GMT!

wit 5 i wud go in to a 2 +.20 SnG
at the same time i wud go in to a 1+.10 45 man turbo SnG
with 1.70 left i wud go in to another 1 + .10 SnG but a 1 table double or nothing game...
and with the remaing 60 i wud most likely go in to a .2/.4 FL hold em cash game
i think thats a good plan that wud deff bring back profits....and if i double up to 10 i promise to make a contest such as this
I would use the money only in low $1 sit and go's or dimers until I make more of a bankroll to use in larger sit n go's. I would probably play in single table games to build up easily before I venture for more challenging mtt's.
Thanks for the oppurtunity
if i can ill enter,,if not,,gl to all who do
i would like to "be like chris" and go from 0 to 10k!!!! chris ferguson is doing that on ft..gave me the idea..id take 2bucks and play the one penny 2 penny hi/lo game the other 3 would go to sngs, and rb tournies,,probably just the rb tournies to show support,,,id be a bit tight in the hi/lo and bolt if i double the 2 bucks and go back with 2 again,,and again,,till i reach 20,,if i win the tournies?? well that depends on my stack,,play some holdem then and micro levels till i can make a couple hundred,,i took 7 bucks and some change to over a hundred at citypoker from frs,,and got drunk decided to up the stakes,,wasnt paying attention and went totally bust!!!! NOW that I will not do,,a beer or two fine,,couple drinks? OK
but a 5th of whisky??? Not in this life ever again,,i was soooo proud..then just dumped it away like ,,,well like words i wont use here,,might be kids learning to play,,,so there it is,and member,,i do have 8 pennies on PS fr winnings,,
but they are there just the same:

Great idea...how thoughtful.
I would like the starter bankroll of $5 dollars because I just simply love poker. I usually just try and the freerolls to try and build up my bankroll but lately I haven't been doing too hott. If I won this 5 bucks, I would probably start off with a 1.20 sit n go and see where I go from there. If I won, I would do a 5.50 sit n go and hopefully build it up more. If I lost, though, I would either hit up the 5. .10 tables, or get in the nightly 3.30 triple shootoout (those are my favorite).
Hi,
I believe i would be a good person to recieve the $5, because on Full Tilt Poker i started out on freerolls,
And a few months ago i finished 4th in the $24k Gurantee
Winning $2.5k
$0 - $2.5k i was very pleased with that
So giving me the oppurtunity on Stars would be great to try and mirror
what i did on Full Tilt Poker.
I would start by playing Micro stakes nlh cash games.
Once i had built up a bit,
I would then progress onto Tournaments.
Thanks for the offer, would be much appreciated if i was to recieve the $5!
I haven't a thing on PS. So, here goes..............
I have many notes from watching many micro SNG's. I would enter $1 SNG's until I reach a $100 Bankroll. Upon, getting to $20 I would love to give back to someone else as you have here. If we could all do this and help one another build our bankrolls. This world would be a better place.

Hi headpain, thanks for the opportuntity
I have 3 cents with 0 FPP in pokerstars...
With $5 I would grind it out in the 360 plyr 10 cent sngs and the scheduled 10 centers. I would continue at this until my bankroll increased to a larger amount, and then I would generally follow Ferguson s rules on bankroll management.
I think I can be successful I just need to be careful with how I manage my money and never enter a game that is over my head.
Again, thanks for running this thoughtful contest, and I hope you choose me!

HHHmmmm Ok .....
I would like a bankroll started just like anyone else
I would asume that I I had $5 on stars I would start on 10 x10 cent sng = $1
that would leave me $4 so i could have enuff to play like this
I would play 2x .1 .2 cent tables so I wasnt risking a whole lot at once I could have enufff to lose my $1 if it came down to it but I would sit and wait for someone to don off in to me so I could get my $1 dubbled up and from there I would stay on the same type of system.So I was never out of my bankroll and hopefully that would buil my bank up a little at a time I wouldnt move till I passed the $25.00 mark then i would move up one level of pay and try it there. Ifwas to lose $5 I would go back down and grind some more
And I must say that it is very hard to freeroll a bank on poker stars and just like you did I would wait till I was up and able to return the favor to another fellow railbird
good luck to everyone have a great day
