I think that stars is a tougher site to play than most, better to look for softer games, and that takes some research. I'm really interested too to see what others think.

Dont know/care too much about Stars though ...

After all these rooms and/or tournaments are much better where you can still win money, tickets etc with minimum effort (or no effort whatsoever)

I find it best to play TAG. There are a lot of very loose players and calling stations, especially at the $1-2 tournament I play. Unfortunately you will get unlucky a lot as well as they will often catch something when you are way ahead since this situation comes up a lot.

Hi.
Usually, I never spend more than 1-3% of my bankroll per day. I only play tournaments, and it is usually three tournaments a day with a $ 1,10 buy-in.

At low MTT limits, it is very tight and careful to play, you cannot limp here. players are crazy for example))

  Thank you very good answer ! After all, it really makes sense to play a lot of tournaments every day - it's fatigue, you can't see your mistakes and confusion in your head, and yes, you just drain the bankroll. I'll take note of this tip! Please tell me, how do you manage to play with such a strategy, how many of these tournaments do you win per month ?

Your question is very broad. If you can be a bit more specific about, what you really want to know, you can get better answers. As for bankroll management I will spend up to 1% of my bankroll on an individual MTT. Right now I have 2.500$ set aside for poker, so I am allowed to play up to 22$ MTTs. I still play many, that are cheaper than that though, so on average I only spend around 0,5% of my bankroll on an MTT.

An MTT session for me typically last 5-10 hours depending on, if I make some deep runs or get tired. I have up to 4 tables running at the same time, from time to time even 5. But if I get near a final table, I prefer to let it drop to 2 or 3. Depending how it goes, the session might then contain 5-10 or sometimes more MTTs. The one, I just finished on 888 Poker, contained 8 MTTs, of which I cashed in 2 and reached a single final table, where I went out as one of the first.

If you are new to online poker or playing purely for fun, I recommend having only 1-2 tables running, so you can fully focus on the action and finding all the good spots. But if you play for profit, it is important to eventually learn to multitable, and 4-5 tables is certainly not the ceiling for someone using a 2 monitor setup and a desk. For me though I prefer a more laid back style, so I just play on my laptop. And then 4 tables is kind of the maximum for me, unless I stack the tables, which result in a lot of missed information and autopiloting.

Hi.
I play only when I have free time and a good mood. It is hard to say for sure, but I think I play an average of 10-15 tournaments a week.
