Any tips?

I would suggest you keep your activity going and try and achieve Platinum status on CardsChat. We offer 3 free-buy games a week, in which both the Silver and Platinum level games are of a good standard and the best way to increase your bankroll without losing any money. Once you have got the hang of them and are regularly cashing in them, I would suggest you play sensibly with Bankroll Management. No point in trying to run before you can walk.

Have a look at the Learning Poker area of the forum, as there are lots of differing ideas on bankroll management.

Good luck.

Marc

Are you joking Marc? It's pure bingo not poker on your freerolls. I've never seen so many all ins with junk and donky players (apart from 888 freebuys) 0.25c TS builder is probably cheapest with only half hour late reg not 2 hours like $1. It's still a bit bingo time but more like poker than stupid freerolls.

Your Bronze level...freerolls at Bronze are ofc more bingo than poker with hundreds of players.

In silver and platinum freerolls however there are way fewer participants and the game quality is very different

GG has a nice first deposit bonus (honeymoon) that can get your bankroll started. Don't go big, always play with safe money. So money you can afford lose.

Total nonsense!!!

This may be true of the bronze freerolls with a huge number of players, but is not at all like that in the silver and Platinum games, which you haven't ever played as you only have 10 posts!! :rolleyes:

i think you should start with the freerolls, and then move up to min stakes

I'm still learning poker, so Free rolls is good to begin with, but in Bronze I already noticed that that is a different kind of play than tournaments with real money.

Thank you for your answer, I did set some limits like deposit and what kind of balance I can have on my account. So that is okay.

Ofc but you will notice that the level of play in silver and platinum CC freerolls is no worse than microstakes. I dare say better

I definitely do not agree with your statement, I'm sorry. At the Bronze level, YES, it is a bingo, especially at the beginning. In those, you should go slower at first. But at the silver and platinum levels, there are far fewer players and most take the game more seriously. I suggest you keep posting and reach the higher levels, then you will only see the difference between the bronze, silver, and platinum tournaments. Also, sign up for the community league of replay. Regardless of the level, the average number of players per tournament is 100 players.

If you are a beginner, I would advise you to focus exclusively on freerolls and not spend your own money on the game. There is no point in spending anything until you have gained enough skills and experience. Freerolls will allow you to learn the basics of the game without risking your own money. Especially if you play in our CardsChat freerolls, which are attended by skilled, experienced and patient players.

I am of the opinion that the lowest entry tournaments are the most recommended for beginners and from there, as you gain experience, the state or the entry price increases.
