averick Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Re: Hooloovoo's $50 to $1,000 challenge Gl with this. I agree with the rest that starting out with a small sum of money is much more effective time wise than starting out with $0 and hoping to build it up through freerolls, when you look back midway through your challenge you will feel that it has saved you alot of time.

Hooloovoo Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 Re: Hooloovoo's $50 to $1,000 challenge Seems like Neteller have some major issues right now (and last couple of days) Site being very slow and deposits are denied although there are sufficient funds :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooloovoo Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 Re: Hooloovoo's $50 to $1,000 challenge Me and WH is off to a bad start. Made a deposit of $25 but WH client stated there was a problem with the transaction. Money withdrawn correctly from Neteller though :eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Re: Hooloovoo's $50 to $1,000 challenge You could set yourself a side challenge to make $50 from freerolls, to recover your $50 deposit. Say play 1 freeroll min per day until you recover your $50. Then you could say it was a $0 - $10,000 challenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooloovoo Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 Re: Hooloovoo's $50 to $1,000 challenge Agreed. The v-roll tournies offer great value and are easy to qualify for. You can win V-points in these? What is the best way to spend V-points, according to the site you can exchange these for cash (1 V-point gives you 1p) But is that poor value compared to other uses of the points?

aldric Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Re: Hooloovoo's $50 to $1,000 challenge I always converted them to cash. Could always save them up and go to Vegas!! :ok I assume you have played in the Vroll games before? http://www.virgingames.com/poker/tournaments.aspx?tourney=VRolls 25 raked hands required which you can easily achieve on the lowest cash buy-ins.

No i have not played v-rolls before, created my Virgin account yesterday 25 raked hands sounds easy enough, will probably be fixed limit :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooloovoo Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 Re: Hooloovoo's $50 to $1,000 challenge Have played some at Virgin. A short dabble with 0.10/0.20 fixed limit shorthanded (lowest level in order to collect some raked hands for the V-roll. Then a 5-seater €1.10 which i won for €3.50 (This euro currency is sure to give me headache) WillHill still haven't settled my $25 deposit from Neteller :( So this is what it looks like: Betfair: $0 Diamondbet: $0 Virgin: $26.35 WillHill: $25 (pending) So wer'e off the ground with a grand total of $51.35 :tongue2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
