Hi everyone, I justed wanted to write a short introduction to my new poker blog which I started a few days ago. I thought it might be of interest to some of you who are playing poker online or would like to know more about the game and maybe play online as well. The poker blog is mainly about my ups and lows in the poker world, I tend to play at partypoker and when something very nice or very bad happens I blog about it.
Winning money in those online tournaments is not that difficulty as it sounds, I was able to win a shootout tournament 2 weeks after I started playing poker winning more than 1000$. I started at the play money tables getting an understanding of the game. As I said I never played Poker before in my life and I did not want to loose real money in the learning process.
Play money games were nice, I understood the rules, had some nice games and decided to move on and play with some real money. I used one of partypokers incentives to get 75$ out of the 50$ I paid into my account. (i listed all coupons in the menu of the site). Partypoker has some nice options to gain more money that you can play with than you pay them.
I did not want to add more money because I was not really sure if I would be able to compete with the real money players. I tried a lot of tournaments and games in this time, all with relativly low limits (like a tournament buy in of 6$, some free tournaments for new players) and was able to cash in some additional money.
After that I found out about a tournament that I’am really good in, called shootouts. They are not your usual tournaments where you need to make it under the best 180 players of 1000 to win some money. You play with 9 other players on the table and have to make it under the last three to win money.
The tournament has four rounds and you have to make it to the last three in the first three rounds. The last round is elimination with all the players left. (Usually between 9 and 27).
That’s were I won the 1000$ and that’s were I tend to play when I have time for it.
Oh, my name is Mab74 at partypoker, maybe we see each other in those tournaments one evening, would love to, they have a chat so let me know if you are a visitor of ghacks..
