I started with 10$ or so, and I just played 2c/4c fixed limit, from there I went up to 140$, then I went down again massive :p, I haven't lost anything yet though, right now my bankroll is around 25$ ;< It's all a big learning process. And this was a very nice read, I was at points frustrated how my bankroll didn't go up more as it did once (when I got 80$ in one day on 25c/50c). Now I know why, it just takes more time for me to become better I guess... I always see myself tilting after losing some bad beats, I'm always overconfident on my cards when I'm losing, I'm always like, hey, I'm the better player here, then I end up losing more, because I'm actually not. -.- | ||

And about a computer program playing, I think it would be much easier than people think. It wouldn't take a supercomputer to play by-the-book limit (ie. making it 4 to go everytime with top 15 hands pre-flop and raising with top pair etc.), which is really an easy grind-it-out way to make money, not very exciting unless you're playing 4-8 tables at once, but profitable nonetheless. In fact, when I play limit I feel very much like a robot with my strategy (ultra-tight) except for the occasional blind steal. NL a whole different story, and it would be much harder to make a succesful program. Thanks for the read, and like Puerto said, the real money's in a book :D cheers. | ||

It's funny here is my very little story about poker : 1- Why is there poker add on team liquid? Poker suck ( In my mind, poker was only 5 card draw) 2- WTF??? POKER ON TSN!!( Canada's ESPN) WTF POKER'S NOT A SPORT!? 3- Boy they sure win a lot of cash. 4- Poker add on tl.net ? "the big poker thread" ( 5 millions post thread about poker). 5- Wow they are talking about skills and such about poker. 6- eh nazgul says you can easily win more than 7$/H (Did I hate my job? YES I DID) 7- I wanna play poker. So I began to read stuff on internet. I read a lot of stuff( hell I did watch a freaking lot of BW replay in order to learn) and I was determined to try it in the christmas break. I try for a month : first 2 week, 10 $ to 200 buck. Last 2 week : 200 buck to 1200 Tl.netter poker players, it is because of you that I began poker. . . . Thanx you. * warning : you gotta put a freaking lot of time in poker in order to become good. 10 % of player actually win I think. Also, no emotion, patience, fast brainer( unless you wanna play 1 table and be even more frustrated with short term result), mathematical mind, not-supertitious--> supertitious people are the good, enjoyable fish! | ||

Alot of people will call you all in with draws, but as long as you play tight the math will turn in your favor sooner or later. Then after about the first hour it gets more normal. It took me a good 8 months at least of playing before I got real money from freerolls however. I made top 9 five or six times, but never got into the money during the real tourneys after that. As long as your looking too play poker as a hobby I think Freerolls are a realistic way of geting some cash. Are there any disadvantages of playing for play money as a beginner (other than not being to win real money ofcourse) ? | ||
