Congrats on a couple of great results. These games can be a real slog. Well done.

what exactly is small ball? do you perhaps know of a site that explains it...
Always the same people gunning for my free money
Take a look at something like this:
http://www.thepokerbank.com/strategy/plays/small-ball/
Essentially you want to commit to many pots at a cheap cost in the hopes that you get paid off big when something hits and your opponent is unlikely to put you on a hand. People are going to really tighten up at the bubble, and if you can keep yourself in pots, you'll pick up some of those chips when people are afraid to play back. Good luck!

Congrats on the starting cash. Is this your full BR or just what you have won through freerolls?

aha thanx will go check it out now... but by then the blinds and antes takes about a sixth of my stack so I rarely play weaker cards... and waiting for the nuts also takes too long...

Can't win 'em all, right?
Gotta take controlled chances in the later stages in order to lock in the win!

I finaly made it... finished 24th in a 7500 freeroll and 10th in the african freeroll, both on fulltilt...what would be the best way to increase my bankroll, cash games or SnG's?
or just freerolls until its alot larger?

Congrats!! If you're starting small, probably best to start with the micro stakes cash games - you want to have a higher bankroll to handle the variance of the SnGs. Best of luck!
