I have played some of the Stormers games. They are fun and usually fishy enough to do well in. One note is to watch how quickly blinds increase and how long rebuy is. They vary from 3 minute blinds to a more natural 10 minutes. Most have about an hour rebuy.

I like the Stormers games. 🙂
Thanks.
 
Wow, continue playing MTT, ur really good if u manage to get FT 10% of the time in MTT's lol. Maybe you are playing really small field tourneys. With your BR I recommend playing sit and go's mixing with some MTT's, i guess u can play up to 1$ stake to take variance

This is mainly in the CC freerolls that have between 85 and 300 players (usually about 135). I am leading the Leaderboard money for this quarter with a $4.25/day average.

I think $1 SnG might be a good place, but I feel $1 mtt would be a waste. It wouldn't be much different than CC's freerolls. I have built up a $200+ bankroll, so I think $5 should be my mtt buy in. It might be a tougher game, but payout would be much higher.

Thanks for your input. 🙂

Thanks. If I can find mmt without the extreme late registration on ACR, I will play them. Otherwise I the tourney could go 8+ hours if I go deep.

Hey dude the turbos last about 3 hours - give or take making the FT will put you into the 4 hour mark. They also have hypers on ACR - but so far they are not fast events. 3 minute blinds, but 30-40 levels of late reg, so the hyper events last just as long as turbos do.

Oh - you might try the PKO events. I have not made FT on any of the ones I played so far, but have made cash several times, and they seem to go by a little faster than others.
Though - in PKOs variance will be increased - lots of gamblers, and wishful preflop players in those events.

Thanks!

I've tried those 3 minute blind mtt. They aren't bad. A couple of them were Stormers (Twitch) sponsored games and one yesterday was the Dollar Insanity game on BOL. Yesterday I got 43rd of 5500+ for $20. I don't know if I'd risk any more than a couple bucks on a hyper. Too much depends on luck.

I need to learn more about the PKO events. Maybe I'll give one a try this week.

Final tablee 10 % and itm 25 % of the time? This has to be a small sample + upswing or you are the new poker god. Is your name "mike postle"?
 
Game mode

Your bankroll is pretty sufficient to play micro cash games, SNGs or tournaments. My recommendation is in the beginning pick one form and focus on it in terms of study and play.

So if your favorite is tournaments play tournaments, generally smaller fields have less variance which is good in the beginning. In terms of speed of play usually slower is better as it gives you more opportunity to use your edge against your opponent and you'll overall all have a better return in the long run.

This is mainly from Cards Chat freerolls that have 135ish players. It's not hard to get ITM nearly 25% of the time when 20% of players get there. I am nowhere near a poker god (except in my own head).

I doubt my numbers would be the same in larger mtt. In a 1000 player mtt, my final table number would be close to 1%. But in a stt, I would be on the final table every time. 😉
 
Stay away from fast fold games like zoom, they are a good way to lose a lot of money very quickly, while being addictive at the same time.

Hard to say but satellites could help to move to another level.
And if you like it, knockouts are a good option too.
 
I think spin & go is a good option it worked for me before but I've always tried the grand tour option
 
According to you, you are quite good at MTTs. Try to play satellites and cheap tournaments. If you trained in freerolls, why change to cash? In any case - good luck in your endeavors. Welcome back.
 
since you do good on freerolls, you should think on playing MTT
you might have more chance on winning
 
i think in a good bounty tournament or sng at least i used to play there, so far with success.
 
I recommend sit and small with 6 or 9 players. Micro limit cash games are also good 1-2 cents there I would go.🙂
 
How to multiply freeroll winnings

Everyone knows zero times zero is zero, right?

Just kidding. I know freerolls in this place are like religion to others.

Since the thread seems legit, and not a 2 plus 2-style level, I’d think the obvious answer is play small games. 50 centers on 888. Maybe a 55 cent bounty on Party or a $1.10 fifty fifty on Stars.

Waiting for the one guy who’ll post about his four figure freeroll-only bankroll. How it’s totally legit and was built 35 cents at a time and how he’s never never ever made a single deposit but made at least 50 withdrawals.

I wish I could play at 888, Party, and Stars. As a US citizen, I am prevented for now.

I am one of those zero to four figures you talk about. I have never deposited, yet back in 2004ish, I was able to withdrawn a few low four figure checks. Since this was posted, I managed to build up over $500 in mostly freeroll winnings. I stopped playing around October, except for the occasional game or two per month. I still have over $500 spread over three sites, so maybe I'll get back into it now I have a bit more time.

Thanks everybody for the great ideas and advice.
 
Wow soo many stategies....I like ...

Just playing free rolls on Black cHip I'm up like $60.

On Betonline on up like $26.

Betonline is definintely a harder system, it's fast and they don't mess around. Not many choices on games either.

Now Black Chip is the Game Baby!!! Nice slow timer, and many many choices. It's by far superior over Betonline (random wise) and makeing cash wise.

Thank you for listening!!!

I play at ACR and SWC Poker and have made some nice money. Swc pays in bitcoin in its freerolls so I enjoy the rise of bitcoin.

Back when I was trying to build up my level in the poker club at 888, I used to flip my freeroll winning into 10c sit n goes, and did pretty good, both in winnings and points 🙂

I have returned to poker after a decade absence. I have built up a small bankroll from freerolls, and am now ready to start making real money. Where should I concentrate my efforts?

Background: I have been back to playing for about 75 days, all of it in freerolls on ACR and BOL. I have over $75 saved up. My first two months I averaged $0.50 per day, and now I average $2.00 per day (past few weeks). I play no more than two tables at a time, and no more than 4 tournaments per day.

Choices:
mtts: I am good at these, getting ITM over 25% and final table almost 10%. I don't like the long game options available, often having 2-4 hours of late registration and rebuys. Best option here might be one or two (maybe $10+) games per week, when I can chisel out a six or so hour block.

SnG: I have never really played these well, but it shouldn't be hard to get good. Advantage is a set amount I could lose and short play time. Probably would have a learning curve, so I'd have to start in micro SnG.

Cash: I have done well in cash games in the past. I could get back into the flow fairly cheaply, playing 1/2 and working my way up as I feel more confident.

Others?: Should I try new things like turbo or satellites or blitz or ??


I really like freerolls and don't plan on stopping them. I'll probably continue to play one or two per day. But my goal is to build my bankroll as fast as I can.

Suggestions?

I dont know if its to late to answer, but if you have so a massive bankroll,y ou can try like me to crush the 0.25$ and 1$ Spin& Gos, they are very fast and its not so hard to fourtabeling, the players are very soft and if you can play poker well, you can easily beat them. II played also at the Microstakes 0.01/0.02$, with a 10 bankroll which i made with freerolls, but i lost all, because i played too much 1$ Spin& gos, i didnt except the bankroll Management!! But i think its a good strategy, and i will try to win some freerolls and ill do it again like this!!
