stick to 1/2c till you get to around 200$ think about it its only taken a few dys a few more and you will have a safety net if you go on a downswing then if you do start losing at 2/4c when you hit 100 go back to 1/2

Just signed up - not sure if I'm going to get any free cash with that code anymore, other than the $25 deposit bonus. I'll check again in a few days.

The other advantage of playing the micro levels is that you get a chance to learn the game, and from your mistakes, before you lose your entire bankroll. Then as you become more comfortable, and know what you're doing - and get used to the software, you can move up as your bankroll increases. I started on the 5 c/10c tables on VC with a £20 deposit. Played at that level for quite a while until my bankroll increased and I understood what I was doing. They were the lowest cash games at the time. Now I'm at the dizzy heights of the 50c/$1 tables  |

My free £6 has arrived - let's see if I can make it last longer than half an hour too tight, think 5 minutes you are right tank - after 30 minutes three tabling at  /4c I only managed to lose £1.25. I think i'm going to take the entire bankroll to a single  /10c table tonight and go for double or bust |

online cash tables are soooo boring  Just spunked off all the money I took to the table with some terrible play caused by boredom tilt. Luckily I had kept $1 back for a turbo sit & go - £2.11 shipped. |

Well I used mine yesterday..won 2 STT's in a row and played some cash to get upto 176$ by treating the tenner as a free roll and not paying any attention to bankroll bollox.
Ofcourse did it all in when my AK got cracked by AK on the 1-2$ table..money in preflop but nothing you can do when the flush hits.
It was good fun though

My serious poker wasn't played on VC. And it's a lot more fun to play that way than to grind away all sodding day. 9as long as you don't have to do it with your own money) |

oh yeah..I enjoy those smaller games a lot more as well. (which is why I should never be allowed near a cash game again) I meant the whole "feck it, it's free money untill I get a grand" experience |
