Have many of you come across how soft the tournaments at 888 poker are, have you made big cashes from the site, I just recently joined and put a $40 deposit down and already made a few cashed from them, my bank roll is now at $210.

at what $$ should I play, it was from a $1 tournament that I won last night, any advice would be helpful.

It may be hard to withdraw from 888 more than you deposited. They often block accounts without explanations. Or with foolish, as you entered wrong index in address. They needn't positive regulars. /From own experience/

for winning a $1 tournament??

KLDUFF, yes the fields in micro tourneys on 888 are very soft. So soft that you'll probably find yourself shaking your head in shocked disbelief that they play that badly. Enjoy!

In your place i will make cash out and transfer to pokerstars

Did you read their post?
Why would they leave when they've discovered the fields are soft & they are winning? (this makes about as much sense as soooo many of those micro tournament players postflop decisions)

Play micro tournaments. but for 2.20$ or 3.30$ these prizes are good and if you loose you still have a lot of cash

steps are insane in 888, with 1 cent you could make a good profit, also if you need to earn points to raise level status ( to play some restricted games) is good to play s&g double or nothing, those games are a bit gambling but are really fast.

Just keep your avg buyins for a day around 2$ to 3$ and you should be fine. If the fields are pretty soft around 80-100 buyins should be enough to build a bankroll . GL and grow that roll !

Why would they want to leave a site where they are winning easily & finding the play to be very soft?

Also, just a sidenote, Gus Hansen has 'not' won it all back now as you surmised... check out his online graph.... it looks like an Olympic Ski Jump. (maybe he's won more in Macau lately but I haven't read of any news of that since 2012)

The micros tournaments at 888 Poker has a fairly easy field to play , I advise you to play some MTTs , as you have a good bankroll.

Yup that's a pretty good start if you are running well at one site and only just started playing well feeling good I would stick with it don't risk anymore than 5% of your bankroll for one tournament or cash game at a time. Also I have never had any problems withdrawing from 888 has allways been good takes about three days to clear.

,seems have many fish there,

there is no poker room with more fishes than pokerstars, however, bad players show their weakness with their decisions after flop, in preflop is just gambling.
