Default Re: Poker On A Shoestring Budget or £0-£150 In 4mths.

Mr V - you've got a novel going there!! No wonder you're working tonight as you're sure not working during the day!


Actually, I'm pretty sure that most of us can relate to your experiences and probably have similar tales to tell.

I know that I was very sceptical about Freerolls - 'no way can you win money without having to pay an entry fee' were my thoughts. We now know that Freerolls are just that - free.

As my 'wedge' has gotten a little bigger my thoughts have started to lean towards paying into MTT's but I'm still very hesitant as I don't think I'm a good enough player yet. I have dabbled in $2, $5 and a couple of $10 multies with limited success. I instantly regretted playing the $10 tables as I feel that's too much to pay when I don't feel very confident of getting in the money. (typical Aberdonian)

I also know that I play far too many tournies after working from 6.30am - 3pm and tiredness does cause you to make mistakes. I'm much better if I just enter 1 or 2 per day.

Anyway, don't know if this is making sense or not but having played Poker for less than 1 year I can see a massive improvement in my play and I hope that continues. In fact I can see improvement in almost every PuntersLounge player and I think the performances of everyone on the Dollar Up backs this up.

Anyway, thats enough for me - continued good luck to you and Pocket Lady in your quest to reach the superbowl, although it may be around 2025 at your current rate.

Cheers

TQM
