Hi there poker nuts, Just thought I would say that as of late I've been getting to the final tables of a few tourneys but just can't win,I Finish in the top 10 but just can't win,If I do win, the Prize is usually small and isn't usually enough to start a good bankroll. I will say that I'm fairly new to online poker, but a have been around the game most of my life,never was really into it,but know I love it. I like playing the free rolls and usually have some fun. any GOOD ADVICE any one.... Look out for me........XXXPOKERXXX1..........see you on the BATTLE ZONES.........

ABC poker in the beginning stages (but I like to limp in a lot to hit the monsters so the donks can pay me out) or you do like the rest of the jerks, go all-in untill you hit something :F
My AA havent been good enough to beat the santas in PokerStars Nordic freeroll. Two days with AA, and I lost both wich has been tough tbh. Freerolls is tough, you need much luck to win this things.
My biggest advice for you is to learn correct ICM / bubble play wich I really can't explain that good, but when the blinds get really big it's much of "Push-or-fold" mode. There's tons of information on the net, just google it and you find some good advice. Play much SitNgo to practice if you might think that will help.

Sometimes is hard to play in the decisive moments. You must play the bubble carefully, entering in the money or final table at least in the best half is vital to fight for the win. Be aggressive in this stage of the tournaments. With time and patience you can win something I only grabbed my first victory in tournaments only after incredible 14 months of game, after dozens of finals tables and many heads up defeats lol.

Tourneys is very different then cash or sit n go. You can have 30 times of not winning any money and after 1win of big price you still have profit, maybe big profit. So keep on trying and someday you win the 1st price
