Grinding Micro Stakes etc

I signed up for Celeb Poker no deposit bonus, they gave me £6 odd. It will do anyway until September when I can put my own money in.

I have managed to make about $10 just playing sit and go's etc. What else should I be playing if anything?

I have £14 altogether. Can someone give me some tips and info I need to play at this level etc?

Play in as many freerolls the site hosts, furthermore target the ones with the least amount of players.

The advice is... Keep doing what your doing.


With such a small BR you just have to try and grind it up safely. Do it in whatever games your good at.

Seem to be doing that very well tonight in 6-seated cash game.

Up a further £5.

freerolls and multi tabling micro limit cash games, i dont like the rake on ipoker sng's at the low limits (its like 20% for most)

play some $1 and $2 MTT's as well.

keep it up

There is a $1 freezeout with just over 400 entrants and 50 get paid, not bad, I think I can do well in that. Missed the one that started 5 minutes ago but there is one in 5 hours which I plan on entering.

What can I expect in these low buy in tournaments in regards to the kind of play I am up against? How can I accumulate a good amount of chips, and what are the do's and don'ts in these tournaments? I have never played in this before so I am looking a few tips guys. It is very much appreciated.

Grinding at those levels is hard.
Gl with it
Play as many freerolls as you can.

Awful play - stay tight, let them overvalue hands like AQ/AJ against your high pocket pairs

My advice is do what you're doing it'll help you and you'll see result.
There is small BR and try and grind it up safely.

Ugh, just played one of those freerolls buy in with certain amount of points and it is an absolute donkfest.

People moving in with A2 and all sorts and actually winning. I went out with QQ to KK. Meh not too fussed because its a freeroll will look to tonights $1 freezeout.

Personally I'd stay away from MTT's.
You can play optimally... Agame.. be Phil Ivey himself (or JohnnyBax, gboro780, etc.) and go out before bubble very often (50 mtts in a row with zero cashes is not unheard of... and 10 to 20 zeros is normal). Let me edit that... 'gboro780' always cashes.. bad example, lol.

What I'm suggesting is.... 'maybe' take a shot at an MTT but don't do it regularly. Sure you might get a good run in one (winning or doing well in an MTT requires one to run good) but easy to go busto if you're playing w <40buyins (suggested to have 50-100 buyins for MTT play).

I'm with this+1

I would seriously not be playing Rings because I just (Suck ass at rings , and don't want you to blow your money on building it up through Ring Games, because most ppl will look you up extremely light on most cases at the .01/.02 levels), that's just my Opinion though..

I wouldn't play Mtts either for the fact that the fields are you usually big and you would have to cash in your 1st or 2nd, and not to mention most MTTs are pay heavy towards the top Tier so for this fact I'd stay away from those also, Once again just My Opionion...

Which leaves Sit-N-Goes, well you could like Leo had stated play the FR's.. I myself built up a wopping 1300+ in 4 days now and It all Started thx to a FR, so It's possible to do the same thing, or you could try your skills at the Sit-N-Goes, and work with that roll...

Gl with W/E you choose

Agreed try play games with lower veriance at this point and hope you can keep the role improving, unless a mtt is very juicy and has an overlay etc.
Sngs are probally your best bet less players a lot of fish and less differcult choices to make.
