Operation: Jake's No Deposit $500 Fortune

Hey,

I guess i'll start off by introducing myself here! I'm Jake! I'm 18 and just recently in the past few months have been getting into poker and online poker. I have played around on PS with play money and freerolls, and i've donked away a $10 no deposit bonus. Recently i've been learning a lot about poker through books and other sources and I now feel i'm not a donk anymore. yay! I am going to be playing on 2 sites; Fulltilt and Poker770(ipoker). I am starting on Fulltilt with a $50 "free bankroll" and am hoping to clear the 500 points to set the money "free". On Poker770 I started with $7.70 and after a week of playing 10 and 20 cent SnG's I am up to $11. My ultimate goal is to reach a $500 bankroll on Fulltilt, and as for Poker770... I will just be playing aimlessly and sharpening my skills. I have decieded to start playing mainly micro stakes cash tables at FT, and the odd SnG and MTT. I will try to keep you guys updated as frequently as possible on my progress. My question is do you think I should invest in some tracking software? Or are there any free trackers?

Cheers guys, and best of luck.

Jake.

I'd rather take the rakeback on tilt imo

Good luck Jake and welcome .. you can get free trials of both Holdem Manager and Pokertracker. I'd definately advise reading around the beginners section though you'll learn an absolute shedload hopefully.

Advice re Full Tilt. Taking a free $50 now means sacrificing a $600 first deposit bonus + 27% rakeback longterm. It's a mistake to take the free $50 - there are other poker sites that give you free $$ and they are skins on large networks, so you won't regret your decision in the future.

get holdem manager and use the free trial.

Sorry to hijack the thread but what other sites do 10c SNGs? at the moment im on PStars and the minimum they do is $1.20. Is Titan poker any good?

you brought up a very good point about the fulltilt deposit bonus and rakeback.. damn.. stupdi me. Also, I will definitley check out the beginner section.

To the guy apoligizing, yes, anything on iPoker network has a plethora of 10 cent SnG's

update: recieved $50. Played with it. gone. quit poker. its just not for me. thats the second bankroll I donked away on purpose becaus I lost a little bit. cant be trusted with money in a poker account whatsoever. im officially done with poker.

That was a nice and quick operation. Good game sir!

and another one bites the dust!
