I have just started again playing in the FunSteps trying to build a new bankroll and was just wondering if anyone on here has played with me my username on Carbon is 5thKKing I'm just curious what people think of my game or any tips. I easily get thru 1 and 2 but usually trip up or run card dead on 3

I'm playing those too because I'm still too incompetent at poker to justify depositing, I don't remember seeing you but my name on Carbon is MisterDignity. I've been playing those for about 2 weeks and only managed to get the dollar once so far but they're decent practice.

freeroll-.06 tourney

yea if you make it to the dollar you should try playing the .06 tourney once you get about 2-3 dollars and once you get ten you can probably play the .25 and work your way up thats why i love carbon their small buy in tourneys

I think there are better way to work up from nothing personally. Maybe focus on freerolls and .06 and .11 MTT + more freerolls to something a little bit decent. Just my 2 cents.

I also just started playing these a few days ago so far I have won a dollar. I usually multi table the fun step1 but 2nd and 3rd round take more focus for me to beat. I think these are way easier then carbons frerolls.

my name is comptonkid on carbon say hi if you see me.

well after all the grinding i did last week, for most of this week i've mainly stuck to free chips and freerolls so that I could spazz out without hurting my underfunded bankroll.
I've peeled off 4 step 3 wins since monday. Here's my thoughts
step one....play tight with a high aggression factor. Once you get a nice healthy stack just start leaning on table. if you get down to 4-5 handed and you have more than half the chips on the table, start raising and shoving every single hand. Do not allow the short stacks any cheap flops. It really doesnt matter what your cards are. even if you double them up, they are still under double stack. Mainly have fun. Remember, you didn't pay for any of the chips in front of you. If you have AA early on. Just ship it. you'll get one curious donk with K3 offsuit lol/ Real;ly just have fun. I shoved 38 times in a row in one of these. It was so much fun. Often times I found that some players strategy is to enter the tournament and sit out and hope everyone knocks everyone else out so they can advance
step 2. Take this step a little more serious but really play your strong hands very fast. No one is folding preflop with 2 suited broadway cards or pocket pair. Pound them into the ground. Keep in mind, 3rd gets you re entry into step 2.
Step 3 I would play this as a normal sng. Obviously you want to come in 1st but you really don't want to do any worse than 2nd. tight aggressive early on. once blinds hit 50/100, start opening your game up. No one is folding preflop to a 30 chip raise. They won't fold to a 200chip raise when blinds are 5/10. They won't fold. AA/KK/AK, shove it.they will call. Same tactics apply in the mid way through. Lean on short stacks. Attack blinds. Most of the players at this level are very passive. if the board looks scary, bet it. If you find this difficult, simply click the button the turns your cards face down. That way you don't have to see that you bluffed them with nothing.
Most important thing is just to have fun.

I recently found the fun steps at Carbon. I remember these back in the day pre-black Friday. I managed to get the $1 after approx 12 different tries. I gave the buck to my hubby and he played the .11 hyper turbo with 300 chips to start. He did fantantastic and ended up with $6. Unfortunately that went quickly at the Cash tables and he wants me to get another $1 again. Lol he does not have the patience to do the steps. Working on it for him now. Wish me luck a lot of time for a $1.... I say.

What's the point of playing Carbon if you can't cash out?

I started with FunSteps on Carbon and I think made it to like $10 or so. It was pretty simple. Just a matter of volume really.

The step ones are fairly easy, there is almost always 4 all-ins on the first hand. Step 2s are a bit more serious, but somehow I manage to always get rivered when I have the best hand.

They're easy just play solid tag, build a tough image and look for a few good spots to bluff.

And of course if you're good at HU (like yours truly :cool:) that helps a ton because you can't get money without binking the step 3.
