Well so far I've managed to turn $0 into around $390 on that juicystakes site. It's amazing how far you can take your couple bucks from a freeroll you won and turn it into so much more with some solid play and patience. I've been doing a good job managing my bankroll. Sold a good amount to friends for cash, but still have a good amount to keep building to eventually play bigger buy ins to see bigger payouts. All it takes is one nice payout of $1k+ to really boost my bankroll and then I'm really rollin'. ]]> Mon, 19 Nov 2012 14:42:45 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52746&PID=1213836#1213836 Poker : I play for fun and sometimes in... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52746&PID=1212822#1212822 Author: Muse25

I played online occasionally back in the day on full tilt but I pretty much made my living on playing live during the 14 months I was unemployed. Now that I'm working again its hard to get that time needed to be in "poker shape" for lack of a better term, especially for live action, so I'm looking for alternative ways and online is defo a time saver.

Juicystakes.eu     They have freerolls, so if you don't want to deposit you can have a chance to advance to the next tournament and play for a chance at some money. Which is nice and exactly what I did to avoid depositing. Just make sure if you decide to deposit or win money, to sign up with a rake back program like raketherake.com. You'll get %36 rake back, which is always nice. 

 But please let me know if you decide to do the rake back offer, because I'd like for you to use my referral code. Depending on how good you are and the size of my bankroll, I might be willing to stake people. But I would have to think about that. 

Are you new to poker or been playing for a while, milutinho?

Play online only during lock out seasons, haha. 04/05 was when online poker was still fresh. Where the hell did you play, partypoker or pokerstars? For money or free?  Let me know if you decide to start playing again. I know of a good site you'd like. So far I managed to go from $0 to $220 in matter of week and half time playing only MTT's. I've been on fire lately.

Why is that a problem for you? You're telling me you don't have the patience to wait that long? lol. 

Bovada sucks. They don't even offer rake back.

I have a lot of players that don't play much because of the same reason, a fad at the time. Although some still continue to play but not as often. Poker definitely does take up a good amount of time, especially if you're a tournament player. I took a long break but I'm back on the grind, so I'm gonna try to play as much as possible.   What site did you play on that you were able to cash out with some profit?

I believe it was on Titan Poker but this was years ago.  Not sure why I picked that one, prob because of all the loose suckers that were on there LOL.  They sure do make you mad when they hit, but you can win against those types over the long run.

Yeah, home games can be fun, but the play can be soooo loose at times when it comes to betting.

I don't use data software to see players tendencies but I do use sharkscope, a software to keep track of my individual stats for tournaments. 


This is the most I've won from two back to back tournaments playing online. Took 1st and then 4th. Definitely a nice payout for what I invested. What sucked about that tournament I finished 4th in, was that I took two back to back bad beats to bust out. Had I won those hands I would of been in first and would of been looking to win the tournament. Poker can be so brutal sometimes. 





So, any more poker players here?
