freeroll win

i won first place at a freeroll at poker.com which was good for $20 and after that i started playing on the real money games and after 4 days of playing made it upto more than $800 and i'll say i was really pretty lucky. i made a $200 withdrawal to see if i can actually make one...lol and yes i can. But then i cant stop playing and cant win at the tables anymore but i still wanted to play more and tried playing blackjack and lost most of the money there. what i really want to say is you have to know when to stop playing and i also think that you should'nt let yourself enjoy too much when playing because in my experience when im enjoying too much i cant keep track of my loses.

So very true,y ou get into the game and end up going broke its happened to me before iv'e started having to limit myself make myself only lose so much at a time

Ahhh... what a very nice topic.

I am only just getting back into poker after a year out but this is one of my favourite discussion points. I was heavily involved in poker for approx 3 years, 6 months of which i was playing as a sponsered player. For the most part i would do pretty much what you have done, start with something between £10 and £30 and play it up to a nice sum (the most i think being £2500) maybe withdraw a little but then lose it all. Sometimes over a day, sometimes over a week, but always, always, end up redepositing.

People will talk to you about Bankroll Management, which i believe is fine if you have enough to be playing at a decent level. I personally, and i believe the same to be amongst most gamblers (even some high stakes players), cannot have $200 in my roll and sit at a cash table with $10. This is the standard requirement for Bankroll Management, 20 x Buy In's. That to me is so very boring. I would much rather play with $50 or $100 and take a shot.

I think i would have to have at least $10k in my roll before i started to manage it properly, at least then you are playing for money that is worth winning and not a $10 table where you might hope to win, at best, $1 an hour over a good length of time.

Just my two cents...

Yeah seems like you got the "cashout doom" herlis, LOL

Has happened to me as well many times :(

lol... i guess better luck next time..lol

Luck does mean a lot between wining and losing, if not ask me about it! LOL

i totally agree with you USC.

Yes luck has alot to do with it, but I am starting to believe in BRM.

Lilred , what is BRM?

Bank Roll Management! If I spelled that right.

I pretty much have been where all of you are familiar with. Depositing cashing a little, redepositing, redepositing, cashing a little........etc. That's why now I simply play free rolls and free slot money, I deposit when I can cash and play that deposit off most of the time in an effort to win more. Sometimes I do win again too. But most of my time and effort is using their money to win their money. I make it a continual game and havn't tired of it yet in these past two years.

same here , just trying to win from free money but there are times that i feel that its so hard to win again.
