Hi,
I saw some other posts about users posting their succeses. I thought i'm going to do the same. The 6th of May my account got approved, so I was egligible for the $140 Action Poker Bankroll.
I started playing with it the 7th of May (and I also wish to thank BRM for giving the bankroll so fast, and not making problems of the fact I filled in my BRM account and not my Action Poker account...) and now I'm having a bankroll of $450. But you should know, Action Poker doesn't count alot of players...(for example right now there are 1000 players online at 2pm GMT+1) If there are two 10-players tables open at the same limit you can call yourself a lucky guy.
Another fact is that I haven't played that much either. But the good part is the players play terrible. Countless donkey- and fish-plays occur at every table...
So I really recommend this free bankroll offer. On the other hand the poker software is'nt that good. The buttons aren't really what they should be.
Congrats! Good job. Thanks for this post...it helps me out now knowing that Action is such a fish factory. I was thinking of getting a bankroll offer there and now am convinced The only thing I read about that I don't like is that Action only distributes points based on amount contributed to rake and the small amount of points given for those contributions. It would take a hell of a long time to earn the remaining $100 from the Bankroll Mob offer. But I suppose it doesn't really matter if it's so easy to make over 11x your bankroll

Congrats on your win, now take your time and take it to $1000, i think the highest I recall anybody winning on Action via an IB at BRM was $1800 in 48 hours....

Congratulations on such a good start. Jodoli is absolutely right about Bank roll management - but if your BRM is good there is no reason why you should go broke. EVER!
Continue playing there until you've played enough to enable a full cash out ( if you haven't already )
Then I would cash out to Neteller or Moneybookers ( get an account if you need to )
You can then deposit at a new site with rakeback and a good bonus to clear - The mob offer plenty of good offers.
You can then grind your way up until your playing with Phil Ivey, Durrrr, Gus Hansen, and all there mates.
I might not be a option that's too popular with Shaun ( our resident Action Poker guy ) but if you ask him nicely then He'll let you open an account at Pay No Rake ( Action's sister site ) where you can get 50%+ rakeback.
Congratulations on your rapid bankroll growth! I'll be honest with you guys, I wanted to play at Action Poker and build my bankroll there but there's nobody at the tables when I logon! It's really unbelievable and I can't understand it, it's like a ghost poker platform... Players there are really terrible, I've never seen such fishes before anywhere but c'mon, I can't play with one guy on the full ring table.
want to play full time
