These are something that I need to learn... I don´t know how have to bluff or make a half of bluff (a raise with a weak hand)... But, about the wheel, I found the redeem of golden chips in $ 6000 freeroll´s tickets, and that is very good for me!

You will need to bluff if you want your game to last and have profit from it, more constantly. Waiting to play only the good cards isnt a solution, although in some games, you can get one good hand after another, crushing your opponents

my friend maragatero at these tournaments you can not count on bluffing because of 9 players at table at least 4 are also bluffing you certainly saw that they play all in on almost every good card if they have A or K they are all in my advice to you is to accept this way of playing If you're lucky, each tournament will get you some dollar

Nightkid but you do not have a block notes to write email addresses, nicknames and passwords? If you have an 888poker account you can recover it. It is not very difficult and you you can send an email for 888 pokers and to tell them some details. Good luck with that.

Thank you for your advise, I will try to take it! I know that all the matter is about adopt the correct range of cards for each situation and kind of players. But I´m in the first step of learning: I know it, but I cann´t do it! But when I achieve it...beware with me! If you find a maragatero o MARAGATON player in your table....run for your life!!

This does not apply to all types of tournaments I'm talking about those free roll tournaments at 888poker such as the $ 1,500,or $ 3000,or $6000 at these tournaments there are many players who are bluffing you will not be the only one If I ever meet your name on my table I will be immediately all innnnn

Don´t worry my friend, it will take some time for me, about...20 years? You don´t need to go all in for now. In the worst freerolls, like 888Poker Club +5, $20 snap or $ 1500 Lucky chip freeroll, I maked a lot of bluff. But in the serious tournament, when the prizes are goods and I´m in a good position, steals and bluffs are very dificult for me

The more games you play the easier will become for you to bluff. But i really get it, when you are saying it is more difficult to bluff, when you are playing in big games for big money You need to think more there, what to do

It's easy to bluff but if that bluff fails then it is not ok because sometimes demoralize you or it is happening for players to see your cards if you do not have settings in order. The only poker room where i do not succeed with bluff is pokerstars and something is wrong there...

All the matter is to do the right move just in time. It´s near to play music: one walk, one walk, one high, one bluff, one high....etc. Obviously, looking the stacks, the seat, the players, all the info that you have to manage of the table. So you have to make some rithm with your bluffing... I could do it some times and it´s glorious

maragatero i have to tell you that It's not important in a poker game to bluff it's important that you get good cards I use a bluff only when I'm in a hopeless position or when I see someone who is weaker than me, he has a small stack and then try to pick up the chip

I know it my friend vaci38, but I couldn´t play always with good cards only. I did it in all my career, but if I want to grow up as a player, I have to learn to play without good cards. Learn about equity, range of hand, ICM... I readed it, I saw the videos, but I cann´t play it in a big tournament...what a shame!

my friend you will get your ticket today or tomorrow you never get rewards straight to your account you have to wait a day or two I wish you luck my friend maragatero I have already told you that if you get good cards, you do not have to bluffing play your game and you have to be patient enough to get good cards during the tournament I know you want to play without the good cards but you will only succeed once or twice but you have to count that someone will have A A

if you win a ticket in the 888poker room you have to wait up to 72 hours. You can receive the prize after 2 days or after 3 and rarely after one day. If you look in lobby of 888poker you will see this when you tap right on SPECIAL option. You can also see other things tickets, deposit, challenges etc.

Hi Seulinho1, 888poker is a good poker´s room today, I think that it´s the best! You could find interest freeroll tournaments in the slash "Restricted", where are the Bank Roll Mob freerolls and a lot of another. Good luck! And vaci38, as you know everyone will get the same cards in the long term, but you only could win if you lost less and win more, and that is only possible if you learn to play with bad cards

888 is a good poker room but it's hard to make money in MTT tournaments. Is better than pokerstars as the value of the players, because here are not so many professionals and you can make some extra money but the prizes are smaller because 888 does not so many players like pokerstars. Is in the top 3 of poker rooms if i do not mislead.

Yes CALICUL it´s a good poker´s room and, if I can make some money, there are not much regulars! I maked a withdraw of $ 55 in the last week (with these I had a total of $ 1400 in my poker´s wallet, and I wanted to see it) and leave only $ 0,57. Now, playing only a few freerolls because my work don´t allow me more, I have $ 12. If you remember, I´m a cent´s player, so this is a fortune for me!!

It is a fortune indeed when you play cents games. If you enjoy the game and can also make a profit out of it, even in that range of blinds, why not. You can hope blinds later on, when you have a much bigger bankroll.
today was one of those days when I did not get a prize on this wheel ... but I'm already so used to it that almost every day I have some kind of prize in the wheel .... for those who play for a little money this is good tournaments to a little increase your stack .... and sometimes a little more
