If you want to build a decent bankroll out of nothing the CD Poker offer looks good. 50$ straight and 100$ as a bonus. Unlike many other rooms you can gain points for the bonus at very low limits, so you can grind it out with your 50 bucks.

Always building, sometimes knocking down , this yer BR shows at around $1200, and i mainly play micro, the key i think is to to build slowly, using the snowball effect, if you increas a BR by 10% a week it soon shows. I need to start again to be honest cus some money is from casino wins, Last year i took around $2500 but agin a mix of casino and poker. Im thinking about taking my money now and starting again with strict BRM and 2 accounts 1 for poker and anouther for them damn casino that i love hateing so much :}

Hello! I'm playing on Action Poker too. I have about 50$. I'm playing NL holdem 5/10 cents, and my BR is very swingly. sometimes up 10$ sometimes down. But anyway I'm moving up slowly. The thing i wanted to ask: If you already playing at Action, have you noticed any freaky thing? Because I played many hand there and I plays poker quite good. But noticed, that sets coming extremely lot. If i have AK, raise ,and the flop hits me, there is somebody who has a set. And if I play with pockets, i hit the third too. You may think I'm stupid, but I discovered this throw many hands.

Well when you play your AK's right you raise them good. So if people call they are very likely to hold a pocket pair. When you flop a pair just tink to yourself "a pair is just a pair". If the other guy calls your decent flop bet you should start considering a set. Of ifcourceIf the flop is an A you could be up agenst an A with weaker kicker, 2 pairs . In these cases its important to have a read on your opponent and a (rough) range of the hands he/she plays and how he/she plays em.
Yea i have only played in a couple of freerolls and always get there late so well behind the 8 ball but yeah different randamiser , i felt it rewarded the better hands, i not there yet still waiting on bank roll but got my bank roll to 90 now cracked the hundy earlier but just droped 10

the more money you got the harder you can go.
