Correct Amount To Bring To A Cash Table?

edited May 2010 in Poker Chat
people say you must have the full buy in and some say different but what do you think? well this is what i think..............i loaded up 200 other day, and had 78, flop came 78A, turn came 8 river came 9. i lost the lot to a bigger full house than mine, if i loaded only 40 to the table then i wouldnt have lost my massive buy in would i? people will say it doesn't really matter cos its only free play tables but it matters to me, i play to win and was really gutted about this, my poker play balance now stands at a lowly 780, i hear you say that i can reload if i lose that and get another free 1000 but how is that gonna improve my game? i am trying to find a nice spot and gonna try double this up first and hopefully kick on from their, people have started calling me shark and killer shark in the chat box, this is annoying to me, i don't know what they mean, i am just a rookie trying to build enough poker play money so sky will acknowledge my contribution on the tables!!! so what do you guys think, shall i sit down with the 780 and try double it up or sit with 100 and try build my play balance from there? would appreciate the advice, also would like some of the big players to comment on this and maybe we can trade information on certain players, i am sure they know some of the free play good players and i will keep my eyes peeled on the bigger stakes just for them!!!

dont be afraid to comment if you only play free play like me, i just love poker and am willing to play anybody on the felt at any limits, i feel no pressure, all challengers welcome.

ps: freechips turned down my earlier challenge saying he doesnt know how to play heads up lol

    i have to say you remind me of a player not so long ago who had a big gob, seriously now, you play free play and a few wk ago was beggin for money.  im sure your already in the poor house and if your not you will be soon.
    you want advice from me (mid stakes) next time you have a spare £20 put it on and start to grind at £1 DYM if it goes wrong so what its only £20 if you rearly wanna play me im more than happy but think befor you speak.

    no need to get angry with me fellow. whats stakes do you want to play me then freechips? what you need to remember is that my current free play balance is 780, if your serious about this and not just yanking my chain then lets get it on! i am here all night!!
  • edited April 2010
    w tf is a free play balance?
  • edited April 2010
    it tells you in your account, you will have 1000 to play with, i only have 780 so therefore you have the advantage straight away, do you wanna get this on now?
  • edited April 2010

  • edited April 2010

    pod have you ever tried to sit with 6 of the best free play players on sky? i dont think you have, i think you would be way out of your depth!!! tikay is always banging on about how poker is all about enjoyment and that is what i am doing just plying my trade on the free play tables, fair enough its not a massive income but i am slowly earning a lot more points than i used to, my poker play balance is now at 1460, no matter what level your playing at thats pretty impressive stuff. you and free chips clearly dont want to play on the free play tables do you? so my question to you is. your not playing poker for enjoyment you are playing for the money is this true?

    tikay what do you think of these guys just playing to lay money in their pockets? you have always stated that you should play to enjoy but clearly these are not they are playing to win money and if they lose they dont enjoy it!! where as if i lose a buy in of my free play balance i just chill out have a dairy lea dunkster and reload another 1000 , is this a good strategy or maybe switch to wispa gold's cos the dunksters take ages to eat?

    dav i am enjoying the free play tables so much i dont think i can leave them now, but i thankyou for your support and loyalty and if in the future i decide to play for real cash then i will contact you first, thanks once again mate

    thanks mate, on a table right now if anyone wants a game, table is mogadishu, hurry up though cos when word gets about that i have seated it will fill up quickly
  • edited April 2010
    easy peasy lemon squeezy!!!!!

    just sat on the table for 2 hands and won a buy in so stood up straight away, i had a great read on my opponent in the first hand as i sat down, i just knew that my second pair was good and i took 100 off him, he had bottom pair with queen kicker, he shud have laid it down and will probably be kicking himself all night over that one now, what has probably made him more angry is that i stood up and said "thanks for the game" fair enough it was a short game but i am not letting him win it back, i have got his 100 and that will get me a game tomoro, its fair enough, no rules state that i have to play for a certain period of time do they?

    WP you are da man i know for sure.Please do not let anyone else sponsor you if you do decide that free play is no longer for you.GL m8 dav
