Bankroll for super-micro.

[GFtheMamba]

Hello. This is my first post here and I have to say that this site has extremely helpful insight. Back to the point, at recently won a $25 freeroll at JetSet poker and have around $5 in my bankroll. JetSet has $0.01-$0.02 games, so I was wondering if my measly $5 will be able to cover a couple of hands, or will I have to make a deposit to cover the fee? All help appreciated [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

That's 125 big bets and it is .02/.04, so I say just go for it. If you happen to lose all 125 though it doesn't necessarily mean you're a bad player, since you're not really adequately bankrolled.

But you can always deposit later if you bust, so I suggest waiting.

I've played there. The $5 should last you for the rest of the year, if you play good, tight poker. What usually happens - and it happened at Noble, Paradise, Royal Vegas, and Crazy - is that after a couple of weeks of playing with no deposits, I started to get no cards to play. I would be playing at a little above 20% flops, and all of a sudden I am playing about 12%. BIG YAWN. I just left the money there and went elsewhere.

Nowadays, I am mostly enjoying Freerolls at Absolute (my favorite), JetSet (not to frequent), Bodog (I got a free $50 no rake required deposit there), and a few others like Poker Stars, Ultimate Bet, etc. I also play the .50/1 games at Absolute (my favorite of the bunch) and I am trying out Bodog.

So if you are finding yourself bored, there are plenty of places to go for free cash deposits or freerolls.

It's like you've read my mind, I've been playing the freeroll circuit for a few days now, no luck yet, but hey, they're FREE. Anyways, about that free $50 deposit at bodog, did youm win the $50 in a freeroll, or was it given to you for free?

I got a free $50 deposit right into my Neteller account as soon as I opened an account for the minimum $20. It was very fast. Send me a PM and I will send you the link.

Rich,

Stop giving the newbies bad advice.

Please tell us you know this person and you are only joking. He is a beginner asking a legitimate question in the correct forum. You are suggesting something false and have no business scaring people away from online poker on these forums.

Unfortunately, he's not.

But in Rich's defense, he has gotten better about these sorts of things.

Your Honor, I would like to place this into evidence in my defense:

It's funny - and interesting - reading. Given the total "unknowns" regarding online gambling, I keep my mind open to all possibilities. But for sure, it does get really boring playing only big blinds. Really, really, boring. I had to change venues.

Here is a good link to track all Freerolls. The times are off a bit, so you have to adjust.
