Hi guys and BRM
First of all, I received my free 40$ yesterday (sunday), if you guys did everything ok you will get it eventually, it took 5 days for me to get it, weekend excluded, but I want to thank BRM for this offer and action poker too, I see you guys are working hard to attract people to your pokersite, keep up the good work
I started playing yesterday, started off with a heads up for 25$ + 2$ and won it quite easily, he went all in with 2 2 and I called with K K, off to a good start, all I was aiming for
Then I started playing on the $.05/10 NL tables, not for too long, making just a bit of money
After that I went on testing my luck on the $.10/25 NL tables Played there 6h or so and managed to built up my bankroll up to $152, should have been more if I didn't had like 3 very bad beats in those 6hs. I called it the day, was pretty tired and didn't want to overplay it, something I did do before sadly.
After 6h of sleep, I am playing at those same tables now, making an extra 43$ in 1h.
Main conclusion: went from 40$ to 200$ in about 7hs, playing solid but also agressive when needed and I hope I can keep up this level.
some comments: 1:a lot of fishes on the tables though, made it easy for me to get to 200$ so soon 2: sadly I can't find the hand history on action poker 3: keep up the good work guys and try to attract more and more people to your side, sadly there are not many people there yet
Hehe nice amount of money you made per hour there! But to be honest, even tho its free real money. You should play your proper stakes for the experience! Nice none the less, don't go bust

IF YOU KEEP PLAYING ON BLINDS LIKE THAT ( 0.10 - 0.25 ) AND PLAYING SITE & GO'S FOR THE HALF OF YOUR STACK YOUR ROAD WONT LAST LONG!!. im only warning you but if you keep playing like that you maybe build up something nice but sooner or later you go broke.

How many POP are you at? I'm at 98.
I just played $12 sit the sit and gos cause if you play less than $1 rake than you get no POP and 2200 POP is the goal. Anyway, got some bad beats and lost a bunch of coin flips and was down to $5 something . Took that to a 10cent, 25 cent, not really a cash game player but figured thats the only way I can make it to 2200 POP. Anyway, doubled up a couple times and played good positional poker and was at $60 but lost a big pot with aces, I hate cash games because of deep stakes...

Sadly, my road has come to an end.
yes now you will say to me; I told you so but it was nothing like that I just did stupid, soooo stupid It was about 250 after 3h, hardly making any benefit, but I didn't steam at all So... so... so... I decider to put it all in on ROULETTE, double up or nothing, 250$ on RED Sadly, it was the colour of evil...
what did I learn of all this? 1:I am not playing any pokersites who offer casino asswel 2: Lost 250$, 10hs of work on one spin, which makes me pathetic, idiotic and crazy and some more things I won't mention 3: This was my second experience starting up a small bankroll, and I must say I am not there yet to make a decent living with poker, not enough patience, not enough wilpower and no fuking realisation it was real money I was giving away...
I learned from my mistakes, sadly I don't have the time to play poker like others do have the time otherwise I know I would be able to build something up but yeah real life comes first I guess, exams coming up soon... latersss
btw, I have 535.10 POP points which makes it even more stupid cause I was doing so great, well... I could easily now...

sad... it`s gambling man... but as u said, u can learn from your mistake, u must... personally, i play @casino only for free money - i mean when i receive some free spins or something. CASINO IS THE PLACE WHERE THE BOOKIES AND THE POKER SITES ARE GETTING RICHER!

woah that sucks big time i learnt my lesson keep your finger of roulette it is an evil game ! but why in the hell did you bet your whole bankroll ?!?!?! i mean 50$ would have been okay too ... damn i just upat 125$ through cashgame but i am also more a SnG player like geneyuss so it's hard to keep a straight winning with cashgames but the SnGs are are too empty at action ...

Acekaiser, I seen you at Action Poker cash game table a few days ago, how many POP do you have?
so far i made around 550 POP guess i will ship some of my winnings to pkr, because i can play SnGs there and maybe use like 40$ to try to clear the 50$+50$ at actionpoker ! and yourself how is it running at action ?!?

Hi Guys
Seems like you are happy that you got the bonus, dont forget if you make a deposit you can continue to earn pop and clear the other $100 bonus, if you have done that i am happy to you a chance to play in the $25k fast track for free if you make a deposit of $50 or more just post your username on this thread and I will credit the seats.
you can see HH in lobby under the tab options--reports. Pretty complicated setup.
Good job Jaskosss, 200 $ in one night is a nice amount of money...
