How do you rampage any experiences?

hello im sure some of you have heard of poker rampaging and was wondering if anyone had experiences to share. So far all i have learnt is how retarded and unbeatable the micros are. I have been playing them all year and get virtually nowhere the plays are rediculous. I left full tilt for a while and played at bodog and worked my roll from 80 to 130 dollars playing sngs. then decide to go bak to ft and ofcourse it plummits out of teh sky and lose half of my roll so ive to drop back down and recently got take to up to 100.

I was going to start bonus whoreing until i seen rampaging. So thought it sounded like fun and was until of course the usual donks catch there 3 outers. my plan was to buyin at the lowest with a dollar and double up twice and keep one so really im free rolling my way up. I got to 5 10 cent just until i got pretty much blinded away and i went all in aq someone called with ak. Its impossible to win at micros all in with aq they call with a2 river a 2. allin qq they ave 62 catch two pair.all in ak AT i catch k on flop they runner ts. bs like that. how can poker be profitable.ino they say in the long run bla bla bla at this rate will never catch the phucking long run.rampaging ya or neh

mirco = waste of time

i played micro for months upon months with very little winnings

people just dont care about losing a dollar as much as they would 10 or 100

even if you win the rake takes too much of your winnings away

if you want to play micro you need discipline and patience


-------

personally i decided to skip ahead from .01/.02 to .10/.25 and have changed $25 to $150 many times within an hour or less.

yeah i lost it back not because im a bad player but because i start taking chances since im playing with other peoples money

dont forget your bankroll = what you have on the site + you poker budget

many people get it confused and try to build up off one deposit. take your monthly budget for poker and put it on the site whether you have money on it already or not

and avoid big hands

these are the players that pay you off in the long run micros are easy to crush play tight untill you have a decent read on the table then once you know who the nutters and nits are start playing any 2 playables and when you hit against your nutters bet and bet your stack should shoot up try to find loose tables if the table tightens up get out of there if im playing ..02or.04 i like to buy in just below max about 3/4 buy in and i get off the table when i have 2 full buy ins for example blinds 2/4 cents i buy in at $3 and exit when i have £8 as new players come in dont be afraid of tightening back up while you get a read on them this is normally a trick missed by most but i think it is important it also makes you harder to read

So if I understand you correctly, you have been playing at levels your bankroll can't sustain and redepositing when you bust out. Yet you think playing with patience and discipline at a level your bankroll can support is a waste of time.

If you are bankrolled for a level that you can actually beat you don't need a poker "budget".

The micros are beatable. I am far from an accomplished player and I am showing a profit at the micros and there are better players who win at a very high rate. Of course when my bankroll allows I will move up but only when my bankroll allows.


Good luck.

I hate people keep saying micros are unbeatable... I mean what the heck! it's suppose to be where the beginners play, and if u cant beat the beginners then its either you suck or the game is pure luck...

I'm not saying your bad, I'm also pissed, coz' I started to play from the ground up, working my way up... BUT ALL I SEE ALL DAY IS SUCKOUTS, I play at JOKERSTARS... when your dominated, yes odds sticks, but when you dominated WOW MIRACLES! ... That happens all day!

and you know what the so called experts say.. ITS BECAUSE UR PLAYING AT MICRO... so what? does playing micro change the fact dominated hands lose 70%?

... now what if you play at high limits and lose? whats you're excuse, high limts have too many good players? ... pffft...

ang guess what, if there is a way I can even bet AGAINST myslef in a race at jokerstars... Id be rich by now...

Rampaging, as i understand it, is an aggressive short stack strategy that requires tight play and a lot of shoving preflop. It was in vogue a few years ago as a means to build bankrolls quickly. But I believe that most people have decided that it's not that wonderful and that a max buy-in with good postflop play is more lucrative.

Micros are fairly beatable, IMO. No, you can't make a lot of money, but if you can't beat the tables where the players are the worst, how do you think it will be better at the tables where the players have a metagame?

I'd strongly suggest you get your game to the point where you are more than comfortable at the micros, beating them with some consistency. Understand that nobody beats anything all the time. Variance does that to you.

In the current poker world, rampaging only has a place in tournaments when you get short stacked.With the right blinds, stack size, cards, and opponents, you can rebuild your stack a good deal of the time. The problem is getting all four of those things, one thing wrong and you're out.
