I find that hard to believe, too. I have won a few cents to a dollar in a number of freerolls this last week and I am not QUITE as good as Chris. Also, I have to take 8 hours out every day to go to work.

You read my mind. It took Chris Ferguson 7 months to get a br steady at $6.50 and from there he has built it up to nearly $10,000 in a total of 16 months. I want to do the same thing but I am also getting rakeback so I hope that will help me.

I agree with you bob just take your time and play the freerolls and build your bankroll before hitting the real tables. I am just starting that theroy and will let everone know how it is going in a month or so. Everyone keep up the good work and hope all your cards are pocket rockets haha.

Interesting, check out Chris Ferguson's challenge on full tilt for his perspective on Bank Roll management
Heard there is a tough crowd on Poker Stars so am starting there with nothing. Site I used to play crashed a lot.
If you want to sign up at poker stars use the links provided on this site.

I think the quirk with Full Tilt Poker is that it doesn't offer 1/2c ring games, so if you've got a bankroll of $2 from a freeroll, you've only got four choices: $1.25 SnGs in either 9 or 90-player NLHE, 8-player Razz or 8-player HORSE. 90 player NLHE is a major crapshoot at this level.
I chose Razz, came 4th (after well over an hour of play - even the chip leader had less than 10 big bets in their stack) and now I'm back to the start again *sigh*
This time I'll probably try what the OP suggested and see if I can get a couple of cashes under my belt before I start back on the real money.

yes i saw it, i like his ideas but i just dont like playing at low buy in sit n gos. I think they are just a joke with bunch of donks in them that love the all in button. I'm not saying everyone in them is a donk because there are some good players that play in them, but I find it a lot easier to win the 5 and 6$ games.

At FT I'm up to $60 from a $10 in wins from PLO Freerolls.
At Tropical Poker I'm up to $80 from nothing. I never play there though because there's only like 2 tables running at a time.
I probably have a few bucks here and there at other sites, too, but I never play at them. I'm mostly at Bodog and FT.
nice job and keep up the good work

awesome, just keep playing the free rolls, i mean there are tons of them on full tilt. there are bunch of private ones, like the cc one and there are some private ones im not going to say what since its against the rules to advertise other sites. but just take a look at the private list. I'm sure you can win couple of dollars here and there and keep saving it up until you have enough to build up from. gl

By the way, tournament dollars can be used for ANY tournament on Bodog, so if you win the $109 (for example) you could use those tournament dollars for entry into several tournaments with lesser buy-in.

So, Bob, I'll be trying your strategy out! Got no bucks right now for poker, so I fit the bill! So you don't have to say nobody's trying it or thinking it's worth a shot! I'm gonna try it!

Long ago, I divorced myself from the big win dream, and play freerolls or play money poker for the sport. Don't take that literally, I still expect a big win somewhere along the line. This whole post may not tell well the stress I was relieved of with that divorce.
When I hit a bigger win like up to $15 bucks (WHoo Hoooo), if I don't have a specific CC event in mind, I will party with that money. The party will be the biggest buy in it will buy. It has not happened yet where I parley that freeroll into a 3rd stage, but when it does, and if it is significant, then I will start thinking about that money. Otherwise it wasn't mine to start with, and won't be mine in the end. It only represents another stack in another game.
But truly, I play the cheap games for the sport, with hope only of having a good game against reasonably good competition.
All that said, your plan is better than no plan for those who still are actively working toward that big money dream.

thx try doing what i said in here i would say build up to like 25$ then go to a ring game if u like em so much with 5$ try to go where there is not a full table and if you double it then leave the table and try doing it again. also do the 5$ sit n gos some ppl might say thats bad br management but i think its better just to do these instead of winning nothing in the 1$ 2$ ones, in a long run good players always lose in those due to donkeys. gl bud and hope to hear from ya when ur up to 500$ and more.

Ok, I'm going to say this right away, this won't be as easy as it sounds but it's not a bad idea to try.
I know there are some people that don't want to deposit money or can't afford to deposit money and you want to build up from nothing. So for those people i came up with an idea how to do build a bankroll.
This will take a lot of patience. I know there are some of you that will play a free roll and lets say yo win 2$ then you go right away and play a 1.25 9 man sit n go, most of you will be either to tight because you will be afraid to lose everything that you worked so hard for or you will be to tight because you are to anxious to win some more money, so basically your game will be messed up and you wont be playing your best unless you are a ery experienced player and you know how to play under pressure.
Here is what i suggest to do, many of you play mostly free rolls and then win couple of bucks and you end up losing after a week or so and then you play more free rolls and... | | Read Entire Entry |
