So I enter into this private freeroll and get 5th place for $2.50. I decide to take this 2.50 to a small cash game were the blinds are 2cent 5cent. I eventually work it up to 6 dollars. The guy with the most chips at the table has been bluffing and bluffing the whole time and i have been picking him off. I wake up with pocket aces and reraise his original raise off course he calls a the board comes 10 with two other low cards. He checks I shove and he calls with k 10 when i seen this I was so happy i was about to turn 2.50 to 12 dollars. The turn is good. Then a ten hits the river to get me out. O well look like tommorow i will have to take down that private freeroll again and start over.:thrasher:

Well that happens, deposit some low quantity and work over that with lower levels, and make use of some freerolls.

Eventually you'll get money if you play sensibly.

I've run low on money in my account too and used up my points in some .11c buy in turbos. Won 3 of them to get up to $1.20 and now using it for a .02/.04 cash game. Its such a downer and if I could I would just deposit some real money in and grind back up :(

Its a small freeroll. Even if you win you still dont make much!


Deposit and play some real games.

I think u played the wrong stakes. 0,02$/0,05$ is recommend for players with a bankroll of 100$! Look at Chris Ferguson Bankroll Management.
You should split your bankroll and buy-in with 0,8$ for ex. and don't play with the whole money. It's very risky and the variance is too high. Be patient thats the rule.

definately , stick to a minimum of 100 for 2/5 cent games. variance will make you old quick if you stick all your eggs in one basket. i can't even begin to tell you how many times i've seen it . poker player wins big, takes his wad to a bigger table, comes back later broke and asking for a loan.

You should wait untill your BR gets up to at least $15 and play only 5% of your BR in a cash game.

With a $15 BR you could have played $0.80 and lost it without conflict.

My advice: Keep playing freerolls untill you can BUILD your BR over the course of a month. If you can't have that much patience, I think you should just deposit and have ppl who can take ur money. bwahahaha

Read some Bankroll management rules, u will learn how to avoid getting broke fast.

If u deposit, get something similar to 50$ so as to have enough to play in micro.

Just look around at the different poker sites. There are regurar freerolls that are easy to beat out there!

Grind it up and you'll be on your way!

This will happen to you always unless you practise some good BR management.
