This is the wrong mindset to have about poker. Once that money goes in your stack, it's yours. You lost $132.

Most of those freeroll tournaments are sattelites to bigger tournaments though, and you won't find much profit in them. It is the only way though to make money from nothing at all though.

Untrue, at least with regard to Stars. I have made a couple grand on there over a few months as a middle limit NL player. I have never deposited a cent of my own money on pokerstars. How did I do this? As strange as it sounds...sell play money. I don't know if you can do this on other sites but it is the best way for someone knew to online poker to get a free small stake imo.

Again, only with respect to pokerstars, I think the freerolls are likely a waste of your time. You need to finish in the top 9 in a field that can have as many as 6000 entrants (GL!) just to get an entry into another tournament of 400-500 entrants where top prize only yields about $125.

lol I went from $70 to more than $1k in 8 days. Was sick tuesday and that affected my play a lot, I lost 600 or something hah. I learned my lesson, I use to be able to take my unfair losses without tilting, but when I felt shitty and tired and sick I just gave it all up. So, a word of warning: never play when youre sick!

hi would you care to transfer a hundred dollars to my poker account "reliever"? it would help me get back on my feet as an aspiring beginner with, in my opinion, a lot of potential!

You transfer play chips to someone. They transfer real money to you. There are a lot of people willing to buy play chips out there... believe me, I don't get it either lol. People sell on Ebay, there are a number of websites where u can sell your chips, and people set up private deals on pokerstars itself.

Hm.. people really do this? Btw, if I'd want to buy like 100000 play money chips for 10$, which insurance do I have of him giving me his chips after I pay? Seems risky to me

I'm playing a freeroll play money tour now, and I've been holding out long enough to have a break!! I'm so proud of myself :D (5 minute breaks every hour) **

100 000 play money for 10 $ is a lot lol. I wouldn' t pay more than 1 dollar for 1 000 000.
