Posted by tryagainfish: also how many hours a day do you usually play?
(i play from 0 to 6 hours, usually 4)
do you play more on weekends or you dont play at all on them?
(i hate having to play the tourneys on weekends, but also the level of the game is more loose and profitable by my experience)
btw anyone knows how to make polls? sorry i'm very bad at the interwebs
see u at the tables! good luck everyone!

Hey oliver, it seems very odd to me that you've never played live poker in your life! I'm sure people in Philippines will enjoy playing some friendly poker games so it's a bit strange that you haven't actually joined them so far... I first played 5-card draw in the late '70s when I was less than 10, and here in Greece although poker isn't legal in Casinos yet, you can always find some games to play with your pals...
Anyway, Freerolls are an excellent way to build up a bankroll and I'm sure if you keep trying you'll end up with a good amount in your account. That's what I've done in PartyPoker and Pokerstars and now I've actually made a lot more than at the beginning... It's not so difficult, it just requires patience... And aren't there any No-Deposit Bankrolls for Philippines? Not in any site of them all? There must be a couple of them that you're eligible to get, have you searched them all?
Either way, if that is the case and you need some dollars in your FTP account, maybe someone could lend you some. Write your FTP USER ID here and I'll see what I can do.
But keep in mind what is said in the Player Transfer FullTiltPoker window: 1.for a successful funds transfer you need to have deposited first some amount. 2.you need to have given to FTP completed mailing address information. Have you done all of the above? Cause if you haven't no one could ever transfer money to your account...

2h in cash games i make some strange moves when i play more than 2h lol that means that i can play my best poker for just 2h....but the strange thing is that i don't care about time when i'm running good in a tourney

Well oliver082298, I've sent you an amount on FTP.
It is currently in the state of "processing" but I hope you manage to get it and start multiplying it... Play wisely and there's a good chance that you start making a small bankroll in this way...
Good Luck with it!
*** HEY, FTP JUST TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSFER WAS DECLINED, WHICH MEANS THAT YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO GET IT. I THINK IT'S BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T MADE A SUCCESSFUL DEPOSIT YET... SORRY MAN, YOU HAVE TO MEET THE QUALIFICATIONS THAT I TOLD YOU BEFORE IN ORDER TO GET A TRANSFERED AMOUNT INTO YOUR ACCOUNT

i agree the weekends is much looser play on almost all sites...but one good thing is that it is easier to get a sit and go or a bigger tourney on the smaller sites with 10k people or less...for example i was awarded the playersonly bankroll and it is hell getting the games i want or getting a good field size in a tourney. i took first place in the first game i played on there site... it was the 5.50 1k game...now i have like 400 in my br on there and getting a game is hell and i like the site but i have an account on like 8 or 9 sites and they all r the same about weekend play..i play from 0 to 4 hours...if winning i play for 4 hours if i am getting some bad beats or am card dead then is like one hour..and sometimes u start but r just not into it that day then its like 30 mins..hope that helped with the info u wanted i would email support about the polls

Ive been playing now round 4 years online and 2 years live poker.
I dont play much lately because dont have time for poker anymore these days, work and family takes a huge bite from that 24 hour .
But if I play, then about 1-1,5 hour sessions in cash games few times a week. Its pretty hard to play so little now as there were times when I played 3-4 times a week 7-8 hour sesions at nights lol.

Started with live poker, about 3 years ago...2 years since I play online. There was a time when I played 6-8 hours a day, or had sessions of 12 hours. Now I play live with some friends from time to time, and play online 2-3 days a week, for as long as lady luck caries me through the tourney
never played live because im in southern part of the country.. 
I only play more time when i play tourneys, then i get really excited by the game
