Is playing penny tournaments a waste of time? The most I've won out of a penny tournament was about $130 when i beat a field of 3000 players in a $0.25 tournament. 7 Hours of playing and $130 payout. When I started playing micro poker tournaments, freerolls, $0.01, $0.10, $0.25 was all I played and the amount of hours I`ve put in was crazy, even now I woun't put in so much time playing for more money. With a full time job I was putting in over 40 hours of poker play every week just to win a $1 there or $3 there. After about 6 months of intense playing I collected a balance of about $280.00. 960 hours of play to get $280.00 , that's about $.30 per hour... LOL I look back at those days and I really feel like it was a waste of time..Today when I look at it and think about it, I kind of feel like it was all a waste of time. Yes, maybe if you want to learn some poker and maybe if you really have a micro budget you may not agree with me, but to me I feel like I`ve wasted a lot of time. I should have just deposited more money and started playing tournaments with at least a $1 buy in, then the payouts would have been worth my time and effort. To anyone who wants to become a millionare without depositing money , prepare for years of some serious grinding... :joyman:
