Ok guys, I am not going to give the name of the site that I am playing on (I don't want this to look like an advertisement) but with a little bit of Googling you can probably figure it out. Anyhow, I started out on this online room with $50 free (I doubt they offer this anymore) with the condition of making points in order to be able to cash out. Anyhow, I lost the like first 10 $2 buy in sit n go's I played. Maybe a little bit of bad luck and tilt along with too much respect for my opponents went into this. Funny thing is now I am tearing up at those tables. Well, at that point I was frustrated, not too serious about it, at and didn't really have anything except for my time to lose. So I started playing $25 cash tables with a high chance of going busto. I know, it was terrible bankroll management. However, long story short I got it up to $200 thanks to a little luck and some good play by the time I met the cashout requirements.
Another nice little benefit about this site is that you can earn points to get into weekly freerolls. I especially like the 20k weekly freeroll. The first week I played it I didn't make the cash, but BINGO, in the second week I scored 6th out of 700 plus players for $600. Not bad. Decided to cash out $100 to give myself a small payday 8)
Then I got this idea :D . Since technically I hadn't made an initial deposit yet, I deposited the $100 that I had pulled out with the initial deposit bonus code. I am getting 100% bonus on this money (point requirements of course to withdraw), plus entry into seven daily $500 initial depositors freerolls (only about 60 players join these, so there is a good shot at a nice payout) plus an entry into a direct satellite to the Borgata Open in AC valued at $12,500. Only 383 registered so far...it's a long shot of course but that would be sooooooooo sweeeeet. Anyhow if I win that seat I will let you guys know for sure!
So, maybe some of you guys should take a shot at this site! They have some of the best software that I have tried and support is amazing. The players are pretty fishy too. I know most of you play at Stars, and this site probably doesn't have as many games or players as you are used to, but it is still worth a shot in my book. Sorry if this all sounds like an advertisement. I would mention the name, but that would really sound like i was spamming then. Plus I want all of the fishies on there for myself

Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game? Be it by sharing experiences or simply asking for help, participation in a forum helps you focus and keep 'on topic' which will help you improve your game. You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums? We offer one of the best managed texas holdem poker forums available, and the community within is far more friendly than those typicaly found on other sites. We've made a 'lurkers edition' of the poker forum available here on Holdem Poker Online, but we encourage all visitors to register and join in on the conversations on TexasHoldem-Poker.com

Ok I'll give you one HUGE hint 
Try googling borgata freeroll. If you can't get it from that I can't help you.
But if you do play...take it seriously and use proper bankroll management. I was lucky. You may not be.
