    They fill VERY quickly (seconds) so you dont see them in the lobby long - if you show "running" and "completed" then you'll see loads of them :ok (Under Sit and Go / Multi) :ok Just seen a load of "Poker After Dark" freerolls too under Sit and Go / Satellites :ok

    How do you get profitable at poker?

    Re: How do you get profitable at poker?

    My advice would be the same as others on this thread, you need to play at a stake level you are comfortable at and where you think you are better than your opponents. My regular game is a £3.60 single table tournament on William Hill, while it varies from game to game I've found I'm generally better than the level of player there. The main difference I find is that if i get a decent hand pre-flop and raise, say for example AK and i raise to 4 times the BB and hit an A or K, i will tend to get called down by hands like kj or worse by players who have no respect for raises. I'm tight aggressive so would be very wary of playing such hands when someone has raised pre-flop and would be more inclined to throw it away. I've made a good profit from these games, and my total profit now stands at over $300, all over a long period of time so its not a massive amount or an amount that will mean i can quit my part time job or enjoy a lavish lifestyle ;) but it means i can play for fun and make small amounts and have a go at mtt's. SharkScope - The Largest Online Poker Tournament Results Database is a good way of recording your profit/loss. Regarding money management, I'm not sure when i should move up to the next level of stt which is £5.50 on WH, I've played it before but found myself getting very annoyed as I think on the 3/4 occasions I've played this I have bubbled every time and generally dont feel as comfortable as I'm aware of the higher prize for 1st place. My balance at the moment is just over £50, which would give me around 10 stt's should I lose them all, would this be a sensible balance from which to experiment at a higher level? Any advice much appreciated and hang in there dude man, its all about experience and learning from it, I read Dan Harrington's first book on Texas Holdem NL tournaments and adapted my game from stuff in that book although its important not to take everything to heart as people have said some things that work at a higher level won't work at a lower level. Finally i tend to play stt's as I find with cash games on one hand I could lose my whole bankroll if say I hit a nut flush and ran into a fh and I'd rather know in advance how much I was going to lose should i not cash in a tournament.
    Welcome to my world!!!! except i play on betfair... $5 level and i seem to win this consistently. Build my bankroll from a starting point of about $20 upto about $120.... this will usually take me 5/6 hours of play thru a day but then i'm stuck in a situation where i think shall i move up? I do it and end up bubbling a lot. I'll be honest and say that I'm not a TAG I'm most prob loose agressive tryin to steal lots of little pots so that when I take a gamble or actually do get a big hand i can afford to lose it if you get me. End up getting frustrated and blowing the large majority of it at a higher level and then all the hard work i have put in is undone.
