Do we divide $50 into $50 tournaments or 100 0.50c tournaments?
I had a Friend who asked me how I was doing Playing On-line Poker, because he would always lose when he played On-line and have to Deposit £50 or £100 to get back into it.
I told him that on my favourite site at the time, I had over £150 in my account, and had never made a deposit, He asked me how that was possible, and I said
freerolls! He came back with "Oh I cannot be bothered with them, they have way too many players, and can take hours to play"
I then said "Golden Rule number One, Poker is a Marathon, not a Sprint Race" There is no such thing as a Get rich Quick scheme, especially in Poker! It takes a lot of hard work and study to build a Bankroll from nothing, something I am proud of, and I never risk more than 1% of my Bankroll in a game of Poker.
He just said "Man, if I had £150 in my account, I would use it to buy into three £50 games" and I replied "Yes! and lose the lot in one night, No Thanks! I will stick with my 1% and take it slowly.
Never heard the story of the Turtle and the Hare Race? (Google It).
