By this thing i have part in the 888poker room. They let me to win poor money with freerolls and occasionally with real money, but i'm not lucky enough to catch a good cards, then to catch a final table and a 1-3 position. I only managed this in the freeroll and in one game of 50 cents. Is disastrous for me. The best thing for 888 is freerolls because they help you to gain some cents or dollars. Money tournaments are lucky, only if you are too lucky. Very too lucky Good luck with S&G

Thanks for your wishes CALICUL, I hope that it helps me! In the currents days, I return to learn some strategies in different sites. So, when I play some games, I mix the ideas and become confused. Perhaps, I need to take a break to the tables for a while, until I have consolidated the new mode

The new mode must be changed during a tournament with real money because smart players will know who you are or how you play. The strategy of hold'em texas is the most valid in tournaments with big buy-in or in cash with big money of course. At the small stakes it matters less because there is playing like in the jungle... many savages which plays everything cards with all in.
the usual win some money in the freerolls and then I start to play in the sitng ... and then in different ways .... it happens that I win good money ..... then I lose everything .... Here's how yesterday I climbed from 3 dollars up to 35 ..... and then lost everything ... such is the story

Really pajalnick? You couldn´t keep any buck? You have different objectives for your playing. I`m on a path for learning and accumulate a good bankroll so if I won $ 35 I will keep a minimum of $30 free of variance and I would return to the freerolls. Perhaps you are used to winning better prizes than it so you can allow the risk

I have 100 dollars and 1 cent in my 888poker account, but of course i could lose everything in 10 days if i do not play calculated. I do not habit to hurry when i lose and this is a good thing for me. Yesterday i played two tournaments of $ 12 and $ 5.50 but not in the money even if in both i played over 3 hours each. I'll try satellites again this week.

for me poker is just a hobby ... of course sometimes I get money from poker ... But it happens not often .... for example I shoot 100 or 150 dollars .... less to shoot does not make sense ... it's small money. ... So I play calmly enough .... I won .... I lost ... It's just a process .... maybe if I took it more seriously, it would be more profitable

The reality in our countries is different for sure. Here, $150 is good money. the minimum salary of argentinian economy is about $ 200. I`m a professional, with a master title, and I gain a little more of $ 1000 with a recent increase. I´m learning poker because, when I will be retired my retirement will be 70/80 % of my salary, so I will need $ 300 for life like now. Here is different or you are rich!
not only in different countries, different realities ............ different people have different realities .............. for example, as it seems to me in Russia the usual salary is 300 dollars. ............... I get about 1000 dollars a month ................... Therefore 150 dollars probably not very big money for me ................ and for someone big money

But, my dear friend, if you get $ 1000 per month, once you spend $150 in a poker`s room you are spending 15% of your salary. In mathematic`s world, objectively there is a good percentage! Obviously, all is relative...If someone says that you could keep with the 15% of the Bill Gates`s fortune is totally different than if someone says that you only have the 15% of your life to live

In each country salaries are different. In the poker rooms, casinos or sport betting, it does not matter this thing, because in my country is 400 dollars minimum and in your country Maragatero is only 200 dollars. When i register in a game with 1$ you have to pay the same 1$ not only 50 cents if we calculate minimum salary of our countries. All you have to do is accept the situation or make a revolution in Argentina. Anyway a revolution needed in many countries. Learn poker and earns a few hundred dollars a month or more. Good luck my friend.

15% is certainly a good percentage .... then I do not argue .... Well, when I play poker, I want something more .... for example, to remove the monthly salary ..... and You can rest for a month .... haha .... but more than 500 dollars, I have never filmed .... 500 dollars as it seems to me a good figure

Yes, is a dreamed figure! this amount will be the solution to my future life. But I think that I couldn`t rest, because I would have to play like a work, with a daily schedule. We only change the kind of work that we need to do. As I had read, if you want some monthly amount you have to become in a semipro and to dedicate a lot of hour per month (+ 100 h/m)

This thing is true. If you want to earn money from poker in every months, you will have to play many hours per month, because if you have become a semipro player, you will fight with many players like you or more advanced. You have to play carefully with these players and with amateurs take all the money if you can.
when I first started playing poker ... it was about 10 years ago .... I got it pretty easy to win 100 dollars .... I made a withdrawal of funds .... it was so easy that I thought that I would do it regularly .... that is, I will become a professional player and earn money on this ..... but after some time I realized how wrong I was .... and now it's just a hobby

Yes my friends CALICUL and pajalnick, we all started this game thinking it may be easy to win big money, only for our star and good luck. But then we lost almost every money that we accumulate and knew the truth. Now, I started to try to understand this world, that is more different and complex than I thought. Is really hard the poker`s life!

It is not easy to become a professional player. You have to learn a lot of strategy and after that to use your abilities, patience etc... Online poker has changed a lot from 2008. Many players have left this game, others play at higher stakes, blinds have fallen and the game is like in the jungle, but here's one thing counting: If the room does not let you make money... you do not play there anymore. Play where you like the most for fun or for money. It was easier to make money before, but now players learned to play.

Yes, until the worst fish have a better idea than a few years ago. Anybody your position, the betting amount, and calculate his pot odds. Every time there are less passionate losers that could make an angry 3bet. So, for make a plan to win some bucks with regularity, I have to study too much. I will make a thread to tell this process

I noticed in 888poker room some players which are regular in satellite tournaments for 5.50, 16.50 or 33 dollars tickets. They do not play very well, won many tickets and they were more lucky than me at tickets of $16.50 or $33. They risk very much all in and wins. I did not have their luck, but in main tournaments they fail and lose, because they do not know much strategy.
once again I got a win one ticket attacked. 500 prerolls To be honest I'm already tired of these pancake stupid wins I would like something more serious But this wheel probably will not do anything more serious So use that there is OK will play There where this happens
The best thing for
