Building A Bankroll from $0 on Full Tilt

Hey Everyone,

For those of you that want to BUILD Your bankroll from scratch on Full Tilt... the following are a few ways to do it...

The Play Money Route:

You can build up your play money and when you get to $500,000... you can use that to enter a $500K tournament, which PAYS out real money!!!

Starts: 20:40ET
Prize Pool: $40
First Place Pays out: $5
Places Payed: 18

Satellite freerolls:

There are a lot of FREEROLLS on Full Tilt, but the best ones to play in... are the Satellite FREEROLL to the Daily Dollar, and The Ferguson... This Tourneys go pretty fast, and they pay out $1.

The Daily Dollar Freeroll Registration Starts at 4:50pm and starts at 5:25pm

The Ferguson Freeroll Registration Starts at 10:00pm and starts at 10:10pm

THE MASSIVE FREEROLLS:

If you have more patients then me... you can play in the BIG FREEROLLS, they usually have more then 7,500 players... and they pay out 45 places...

Good Luck at the Tables

Oh hey thank you, I'm a regular on full tilt and I had no idea you could use play money to enter a tournament for real cash.

##whisper## You know... you could just register for tournament after tournament without any of them ever starting... emptry your play money account... reload your 1000 chips... unregister from tournaments...get the money back... rinse-repeat till you got as many play chips as you want.##/end whisper##

I know it would take a while but ya could do it.

The massive freerolls are full of donks. Good luck to all those who try!

Lol? first from so many players of course you find some donks at your table.
Second, gathering 500,000chips with 1K per each 5 mins it will take you theoretically 2500 minutes.
Good luck on that.

Thanks for tips, the DD satellite and the Fergie satellite are good ones. You find these freerolls only via playmoney lobby !
I can recommend the many private freerolls on FT: less people and better chances to cash. I made in three months so far $157.47 (after 336 freerolls LOL).
But the best freerolls are here !

The 10c rebuys are also a great way to build your bankroll. They start everyday at 4 30 pm central time.

the ferguson: extremely hard to finish (even tho it sounds easy). blinds going up every 2min makes it a gamble freeroll


play money: i found getting up to around 200k play chips then playing 100k HU sng are the way to go imo, play the steps till step 6 then that equivalents to 100k which u can play the HU sng

A little while ago I placed in the 500k freeroll and then when I lost most of it I played the 10c rebuy and placed in that for $1.5.
That same night I placed in the 500k freeroll again so I had about $3.50 to work with total.

Now I'm up to $10 and I'm just playing SNG for now. I started with Matrix's since you're pretty much guaranteed to get some money back. After I had a few more buy ins at the 1.20 level I just started playing reg SNG.

This is a great tip for many new starters... I used the private freerolls quite a lot to build mine at first and within one week i had over $30, these offer some decent payouts sometimes but you have to complete a survey 1st.

Also i never knew you could use playmoney to enter real money freerolls + i wasnt aware of the freeroll to the ferguson.


You learn something new everyday.

There are better ways:

- Private freerolls like Cardschat's ones.
- Promotional freerolls. If you're trying to start a bankroll from scratch you have to get in the FTPA Sit N' Learn freeroll and participate in the wsop fantasy game. I owe my bankroll to the latter.

Thats where i get my bankroll from

- Private Freeroll WDIAV $500 monthly fr
- private freerolls CC fr and other's

WOW, the thing you learn on this site ... I LOVE CARDSCHAT.

Im on a bankroll building challenge at the mom. myself.

The info on this post is a very valuable thing. If you are new to Full Tilt this would be the perfect place to start so you could get use to the software and all how the site works.

Im upto nearlly $55 from zero, but, im still freerolling every single day, here are my favs ....

Regional Australian Freeroll ... Im sure every country has 1.
Daily Dollar Freeroll ... Pays top 200 = $T
Tournament Dollar Freeroll = $T ... pays top 45
Freeroll Champ .. pays top 9 ... first $7.50
Pub Poker ... Australian only I think ... GOOD PAY OUTS

There are many more, just surf the categories and you never know what you'll find.

Im now going to have a look at the play money scenario ... THANKS for the tips EV1.

Yeah these are good tournaments usually just played the private freerolls and the rakeback ptotw and now I have $107 in my account.

I worked mine up pretty much exclusively by playing private freerolls. There are definitely some good ones.

if you play the 10c rebuy everyday for a month you also get in the ironman one a day freeroll.

Well thanks to CC i built 3 BRs, with the freerolls, but the one site i had to do with out, was Stars.
I went into a PLO mtt and played, made the money, since then i've built it up.

Working for your BR, is the way to go.

Great thread LizaMayra.

I have been trying this for a while now as all my roll is currently on local sites, but my word, people will call you with anything. The best I have done in the Round 1 Freeroll with 10k players and 250 get tickets is 266.

My patience she wears thin...

seriously i would not waste my time in the Round 1 freeroll. Its a donk fest to get the ticket and then another donk fest to try to win very little in return without running hotter than the sun

Sigh. IT COSTS MONEY TO PLAY POKER!!! DEPOSIT!!!

Well do the play chip free roll game, i never knew about this till today. So sadly ima grind play money haha, however people are donking a ton in these so i am sure i will get my 1st 500,000k soon

I could not disagree more with this. If you are sure you can beat the game and will be a winning player, by all means deposit, as you will earn more profit in less time.

However, if you are new to the game, unsure of your skill, or just trying online poker for the first time, ignore this comment and listen to the other posters telling you how to get free money. You will learn a lot along the way, and it will save you a lot of heartache in the long run.

I personally freerolled $800.00 before ever risking real money in a buy in game. It took me around 13 months, but my bankrolls have only grown from there. It takes a lot of time, but I take great satisfaction in playing profitable real money games, and never having deposited a cent.

Or you could go the Cyborg010 route.......

free bankrolls

There are promotional free bankroll sites that will start you out with $100 each on UB and Absolute and $10 on bodog. Perhaps there are some for FTP too. To each his own, but playing poker for play money is just silly - it's not real poker unless money is involved. The CC freerolls are a good way to go.

i did the play chip thing to build my bankroll up from scratch. . I have made a few posts about that tourny also. I was up to 450 dollars. Not bad from scratch!

Hey there, some more questions!

Awesome read, I've been playin a long time on FT and never knew of some of these things!

I have recently learned of the CC freerolls (I can't join but I find this fact fantastic ((proves to me the legitimicy((sp?)))of this site))

But what other private free-rolls are there? Are you people talkin about tournies that are started by other players or endorsed by an actual site?

Very glad I found this site

Not certain, but think you only get 0.7 Full Tilt Points for the 10c rebuy, so you would have to play another game with 4c or 5c rake: a DD satelite SNG would do the trick.

Please .. someone shoot Chris Ferguson!
