Great profit from humble beginnings.
I have to admit that the 20 buy-in rule is sometimes wayyyyy too restrictive.
If you have a solid game and arent reckless there's no way you should be losing massive amounts on the lower limits, therefore you can buyin with less buyins than is recommended.
It is still risky of course, but sometimes slow building has led to way more frustration than quick builds - a happy medium is best really.

Alright, this far today I'm about about $6. I'm playing some cash games today and just a few selected MTT's whch I really want to play!
------------ so... I'm down to $7.. I've had loads of bad beats. I had AA, got cracked by 89 off suite, I had JQ, flopped JQ3, got beaten by AK couse T came on river, I lost with KJ when I flopped KKJ becouse he had AA and turn was A and river was A, I then lost with a flush K high because a fcuking 4th spade came up and that motherfcuker had the A...
This hasn't been a good day for me at all... Let's just hope that I can redo what I did last time and turn my 7 into at least 50 and then I'll cash out.

Hello, I'm new to this type of gaming, but not poker itself. I was told by a friend that I could play poker for free & earn money, so I did a web search & found this site. How do I play with no deposit, & earn at the same time, or was she just pulling my leg? Please help, I would really appreciate it very much.

Gratz for building a little bankroll from zero. The first steps are the hardest and now you can play the micros with a solid bankroll management. But don´t forget you need a tilt protection at the micros against the maniacs

Well crazeashell welcome first of all. You can take whatever free bankroll you like after providing verification to the site but the thing is you are from USA so your options are limited

Nice that you have such nice hands. In the last time I have no luck. No chance to win something. I can have every hand I want, but I loose. For example AA vs. 10 7, or KK vs. J Q. I have no chance. Lost today about 30$ with such donkey hands.

As I posted before : you took to many risks with your bankroll
Always remember :
If your bankroll boosts that much in such a short time --> this is luck
If you keep on playing like that you ll get broke or almost broke...
If you played at the right stakes you would not have lost so much with the same cards.
It also means you would not have won so much money before

The thing is that I didn't play those high stakes. I just had one those days. I play 4-8 tables at the same time so if goes crap on all of them, that means that I'll lose quite a bit. And since I did, I lowered my stakes even more so now I'm up to a bit over $10 again. I'll just keep grinding that limit until I reach $50.

So, I've been quite busy for the last few days and I haven't really had that much time for poker but during the short time that I did play I managed to build my bankroll from about $10,50 up to its current $15,11 and I'll just keep on grinding until I reach that goal of $50. It might take me some time but hey, I only play for fun and it's nice to have a goal to work towards.

Nice run man.. keep it up . Whatever you play put everything to it should be fine.. 66$ is quite enough to build up a strategy and keep on grinding atleast. Run was impressive i guess it happens sometimes.. today i had one of the worst of my poker small career.. runned so bad that i couldn't believe.. every 2 outs would hit for them .. like 10 HU's in a row, always with best hand was incredible! Guess it happens for the good.. and for the bad :|

well, I played for just over an hour today and I turned my $15,11 bankroll into a $23,03 bankroll. I think that's a decent amount so I'm gonna call it a day now and snuggle up with my girlfriend and watch a movie or two
