Thank you for the info, I did not know you could transfer play money into a buy in for a tourney.

My BR is now $151 mainly from freerolls, micro sats,1c/2c ring,micro sng.
i am trying to improve and learn as much as i can, but having fun at the same time.
forget bad beats,keep studying,practise good BR management,have fun.
i have just become aware of 'pot equity','hand ranging' and 'fold equity'
which i have never incorporated into my game.(playing by 'feel')
it is a slow process to become a good poker player it takes time
and effort.the more time and effort the better you will become as a player.
when i rail the big buyin tourney's,i try to understand the thinking
behind the play's.
some of them mystify me but sometimes i see otherwise good players
making basic mistakes
position,stack size,fold equity,pot equity,hand range,
player tendencies,3 bets,icm,pot odds,reverse pot odds,implied odds,
bluffs,reads, these are a few of the things to think about.
(quite a lot actually)
what i am trying to say is to take your time,learn as much as you can and have fun.
for instance i have yet to do any kind of serious hand analysis
i dont use a HUD or tracking software,i dont analyse player stats.
there is a lot i'm aware of but have'nt got my head around (yet)
i know i still have lots to learn (a lifetime)
but it is great fun
if you are just depositing and losing then redeposit and lose again you are just gambling,
IMO that is NOT playing poker (plenty of articles on BRM)
good luck
erm this post may be in the wrong place please move if it is

31 cashes so far this year in Cardschat Freerolls.
Shooting for $500 on the year.... sitting at $480.76 at the moment, so not too far off the goal.
I'd say (if you're taking the SNG route) play the $0.70 SNG Satellite to the BLT > Top3 win $2.20 (Fulltilt actually adds $0.30 to the prizepool, so if you subtract that from the tourney fee 0.30/9, you're paying 0.07 tourney fee (instead of 0.10), which is only 10% {this is a better rate than what you're paying if playing the $2 sng's & twice as good as the $1 sng's where you're paying 0.20 which is 20%}. I'd by far recommend these over playing the $1's. {& pretty soon it looks like I might be playing them regularly!}

1 cash so far this year in Cardschat Freerolls
..and that's EXACTLY what I've been doing with it!
Just remember to unreg from the BLT. Payout in T$, but you can use that to buy in to the next one.
...and slightly more if you convert T$ back to cash...

Why would you ever need to convert from T$'s to Cash? You could just use it for a non-satty SNG if it's because you want cash to play 2nl or 5nl or something. No sense in losing the 5% ever imo.

i concur. any other freeroll tilts me right away just because i don't have the patience. the round 1/round 2 freerolls are an insane waste of time. better to take that time reading poker books and concentrate on the big three freerolls.
