    • Seems like a good week. Congrats. What is your ROI for the week? How many tourneys did you have to play to get those payouts? And how many weeks before you get that payout? I'd you could do that every week that would be pretty good, assuming you didn't buy in for like $1000

    • i buy in for about 40 a day worth depending on if i get up early enough or whether or not im playing that day
      ussually for the day ill come out 10 dollars ahead at the least so far ive final tabled in three tourneys for a lil under 2K in two weeks of work so if i can keep that up at the rate of one payday of 500 or more a week ill be happy until i start playing the 20 dollar buy in tourneys that is
      as far as my ROI im not sure i need to figure out a way to keep track of my stuff i have poker tracker but have yet to buy it i guess i probablly should do that now that i have some profit

    • Congrats Kyle! Think about how much you'll make when you become proficient using the tracking software... It's worth your time and effort to do so :) Keep up the good work.

    • Are those re-buy tourneys- looks like a huge prize pool for the entry fee? If so, good work. I recommend the $3 and 5$ rebuy tourneys on stars take every flip you can get early and be willing to rebuy. 25% of the field is gone after the first break when they could have stayed in via double rebuy, and get the add-on and would still have plenty of chips relative to the blinds. I've played in a few and would much rather blow $25 in a $3 rebuy than a single buy in tourney of the same amount. The rebuys create dead money, you just have to have the stamina since these things run pretty long. The $10 rebuy is a good one too, but I've spent over $100 twice on it now and didn't cash. Congrats, keep that confidence going and continue to play those tournaments this week!

    • I personally am not a very big fan of the re-buy tournaments...If at all, I prefer the 1R 1A tournaments. But, the amount in these rebuy tournaments is insane....I mean, you have a chance of winning 10K plus if you take one of those down for a very small investment. Maybe I should try playing these on a more regular basis instead of playing the $20 - $55 tourneys.

      Since, pokerstars is allowing you to buy-in for the first hour, maybe buy in 15 minutes b4 break, do the re-buy, if you double - its great, if not - do the add on and just play normal poker. Hopefully the blinds are not tooooo high and gives some room for play!

    • seriously parag i play these rebuys the way you play normal tourneys just imagine its a tourney at tonys house. I sit around and limp with my suited connected, Ax and KX in the first 2 rounds if its raised i fold. Then i play AK AQ AA KK QQ JJ for raises pre flop sometimes because of the action you can get all your chips in pre flop with these against very suspect holdings. I always limp with any PP TT and lower if its raised ill call with any PP if the player raising has more than 7X his raise. i can guarantee you that you'll make money in these tournies 7/10 for sure there is 1.5hrs of re buys.
      you buy in for the one buy in 1500 chips play limp poker and this is your gamble stack if you flop monster draw you get it all in by the turn if that hand busts then you doulbe rebuy and now you lock it down seeing how your gunna have 40 minutes or so left of rebuys. The reason way this tourney is so juicy is because people re buy 6 hands in a row trying to build a stack its more profitable given the time you have to sit back i've built 1500 into 15K without the add on and with a shot at 10K ill never stop playing this tourney even if im making tony money. give it a shot and play pre flop like your playing at tonys. play the flops like your playing at keiths house
      TRUST ME because the bubble pays out $25 min so its a freeroll from there on in and these aggressive players get supper tight wihen the bubble approaches and try to squeak up every pay level
      it also helps to play 3 or 4 at a time since your pretty much playing ABC poker at these stakes so that you have greater success rate.

    • That took a lot of effort on my part just to read and make sense. Dude, use some punctuation.

      Maybe I'll give these a shot next weekend!

    • there is that better. the reason sometimes i dont have it formulated is because im playing 4 games at once and trying to type so i have to start and stop frequently. I guess i should start proof reading it first.
