Interesting? Absolutely. I know many people who have built up real bankrolls starting with freerolls. It's a grind, but it is also a great learning process.semsaltov77777 said:
It is absolutely possible. But you'll need to find tournaments with a low rake and play fairly well. If you assume a 50% ROI (Return on Investment) and an average buy-in of $3, then you'll make $1.50 per tournament. This would require you to be a pretty strong player, but certainly not a serious expert. If you can achieve those stats, then you can generate $500 a month by playing just over 300 tournaments. That's a lot of tournaments in one month, but certainly possible.Atararo14 said:
Get up there in those $5 NL games! Your win rate is really great, and the sooner you move up and play against tougher competition, the faster you will improve. Keep studying, and if you drop down to $40, drop back down to $2 NL for awhile. $120 is more than enough for the $5 NL games. I moved up too slowly and didn't take enough risks throughout much of my early career, and it cost me a lot of money. Just be willing to move back down if you need to, there is no shame in that.VooDooGoo said:
I think there are many good players who only play one type of poker. Remember, we play poker for money, not for respect or for trophies or to argue about who is the greatest. If you can make tons of money in one game, that's great. I play so many games because it keeps me interested, and I wish more people played more mixed games because they are more fun, but they are not required to be a good player.hcuervo said:
Ok, thank you very much for this information, I will start with the small limits and I will see the resultChrisFoxWallace said:
Hallo. Can you please tell me: what is the more correct way to play AK pocket cards in cash games?ChrisFoxWallace said:
There is no one way to play AK. Learn all about poker and how the game works and make a decision based on all the information you have at the time. If there are three people all-in already, you should probably fold it. If no one has entered the pot yet, you should raise. In all other situations, you need to learn how to think about the hand and the ranges you are facing and how the pot will play out.SL-247 said:
Very carefully. You need to understand ICM, the value of various stack sizes, what your opponents are thinking, the payout structure, and a lot of other things. Generally you want to avoid confrontations with other big stacks if you are a big stack. If you are a shorter stack, you want to play carefully if there are stacks shorter than you. If you are the shortest stack, you have very little to lose and you can be aggressive. The question is too vague to answer very well in a forum post (it probably needs a book).spectralwave said:
As far as I know he is. Huck is a strong player and I know that he has played fairly big games in the last few years, but I didn't see him at the wsop at all this year so I'm not sure what he's up to.skaterick said:
Chris, do you still have laminated cards for Short Stack ninja left? poker294ChrisFoxWallace said:
You can contact me about lessons at [email protected]. I still do a lot of coaching and in fact I prefer it to playing most days.sandlax said:
I'm sorry, that sucks. Get a coach who can help you get a feel for where your problems are and how to work toward fixing them. I think my tournament core course on Red Chip is a pretty good place to start as well, it takes you through all the stack sizes and opponent types and feedback on it has been really good. Read every book, watch training videos, and keep studying, every little bit helps, but getting a coach for at least a couple of lessons is probably a good way to go when you are this frustrated and need to get out of the red.Murph1969 said:
