Poker Worthwhile freerolls and low stakes high prize and fun games

[Mauser]

Exactly this, I have been playing alot in micro stakes few weeks ago (< $5 buy in ) and have tried tournaments with around $5-$10 buy in for few days . Its totally different in alot of aspect, In micro stakes its pretty much consist of alot of shoving action with premium hands / pocket pair . On higher buy in tournaments people tend to let it roll slowly, they try to get as many chips as possible if their hands have win

However its get harder when it gets to less than 20 players, the battle for the last table is truly time consuming. I have played a $7.74 buy in tournament and its almost 2+ hours just to get from 18 to 17 players because there are around $5 differences for the prizes

It was a marathon tournament though, 20 minutes blind lol

I agree, most of the micro stakes tournaments and also cash games are a lot of pre flop all ins with premium hands. And most of the time you are flipping with 50/50 or 60/40 odds. And once you get close to the bubble people tend to switch to super tight gameplay. I usually just play the $1 or $2 bankroll builder tournaments which are alright, but get boring after a while. So playing a bit of micro stakes cash game while playing the tournament is a good mix for me. Even though this won't prepare me a lot for mid stakes games it's still a good way to keep building up the bankroll.

One of the biggest mistakes we can make in poker is moving up to bigger buy in games without enough bankroll. There can always be a longer period of bad beats and we have a much higher risk of going broke.

Yes so this is an emerging issue for me. My disability is meaning I sometimes hit a wall of exhaustion, even though I am just sitting sedately all day.

The last few hours are different and I had to learn that bit too.

I have to resist the urge to get it over with in a win or lose draw.



Anyway I thought I was playing in a game for newbie ranking the other day (whoops that's called "freshman"), but it turned out to be for all of pokerstars. I though scholar = student.

Anway I came 9th and look...…

Wow nice one Globbo. Looks like the grind paid off so far.

Good luck for that one, are you going to stream? Going to tune in.

Damn that would be a nice pay day if you get into the money.

Will you be playing the BitAce freeroll again? I hope I can make it in time.

Back to the micro stakes cash games for me this weekend.

Goodluck on this game, even getting the ITM spot would be enough. It will be so different from all those micro/small stakes tournament so far

The last few before the final table will be the tightest game you will ever experience. Blinds are also high at this point so each time you call for the flop, that means spending those limited stacks with probability of those flops could be dissapointing you

I'd personally avoid shoving at this point especially against those that have smaller stack than me because that shove would most likely either premium hands or pocket pair. 3 way jam is also something I would want to avoid.


Still no luck for final table again, made it to 16/ 500+ for daily $2 hyper today. Hyper blinds really sucks, people shoving almost all the time lol  This is my first time trying hyper blinds structure though ( 3 minutes blind )

absolutely! i used to run a mid stakes sunday schedule on stars back in the day and would sometimes mix in $109s. you're gonna run into much tougher players than at $1 R/As, that's for damn sure!

awesome score though. i wish i weren't so crunched for time lately. this shit makes me wanna get back to the poker grind.

Hey Globb0, great thread and good luck with all those tourneys.

I would like to know if you can share some information about how you do the stream, i have done streams before in the past but not for poker, i think you need to have some kind of delay to avoid the users watch your hands in live time, but i feel like that affects the interaction with the users. So, how you deal with it? And could you share some tips about the software you use for streaming and how you configure it?

Yeah , you barely have any time nowadays and I havent play with you for a while in our weekends game . You need to get back into shape or I might win against you  . IIRC I have a horrible record on showdown against you

He puts 5 minutes delay sometimes and even if he doesnt, he put something up on the screen to cover the hold cards

Globb0 just finished streaming few seconds ago, He had A8 and there was AQQ on the flop

Turns out someone had a Q on his hands and he lose it all


@globb0 , nice game for today but you need to shape up for Sunday's $109 stake game as it would be alot harder with better players on board. Some rest would probably helps, you look exhausted on the stream

Better to fully concentrate on the million clash than playing SWC Poker. Hype Sunday 

Not sure if you play on Party Poker, but they are giving away $25 in Tournament Dollars at the moment if you verify your account with kyc. So looks like I will be playing some $3/$5 Bounty Hunter rounds tomorrow.

I just noticed that Pokerstars is streaming again on Twitch after taking a break for a few weeks. I would assume they are making another round of Free Twitch Tournaments also in the next weeks.

My bounty hunter tournaments last weekend didn't do very well, I think I will stick to micro stakes Zoom games for now.

Big plans again for this weekend Globbo? Any good tournaments coming up? The usual BitAce SWC Poker tournament?

Good luck for this week.

did you play the sunday million? i checked your stream just now and it looked like all lower stakes stuff.

why no 4-color deck? that has cost me quite a few chips in my day---misreading suits while multi-tabling. something to consider.

[Globb0]

I did play it, the highest position I got to was around 400th, but I gradually lost out after 3.5 hours it was a lot of multi tasking with the stream and bitcointalk poker game.


Im going live in a few minutes clearing those punks off the streets of PokerStars City.

Damn, I missed you again. What about sunday? Are you going to stream. I want to play a few tournaments on Sunday. It's good to watch a stream while playing otherwise it's too boring.

Really liked your setup last week with the casino background and gambling in Suit. Does it help to play better?  

What about the halloween events on Pokerstars, are they worth it to grind for them?

[Globb0]

Thanks Mauser, you rock, I usually will be live at the weekends.

I think I need to work out a rough schedule and try to set it regularly. Then people can roughly know if I'm about.

Nothing is guaranteed in case I am unwell, a few days this week I couldn't stream at all I just have to suck it up.

Yesterday I have been signed off at home for the next 2 months by the doctor while I deal with my emerging disabilities.

This streaming gives me some purpose.

Also maybe I should split these threads, fun freerolls and cheap fun games here and make a new on for the Globb0 stream.


I was also thinking about creating a home game on Pokerstars or even maybe SwC I need to look into it.

[Globb0]

Wooo hoooo

Best channel result so far last night.

105 out of 5774 or some thing like that in the $50k bounty builder series game.


Easily won $100 2/3 of that was in  bounties.

I could have gone further honestly I was too exhausted at the end.


Great we finaly have a bit of bresthing space for the channel.

Oh best thing of all? I used my satellite in the day technique to get the ticket = $0.55   


Yeeeee haaaaaaaaaaaa

when in doubt, just sit out the forum game and micro stuff when you've got a $100 buy-in on the line.

I was also thinking about creating a home game on Pokerstars or even maybe SwC I need to look into it.

+1. i was wondering if we could get a private game at SwC. my schedule is super busy lately so i'm gravitating more towards cash games even though tourneys are my real thing.

i can't play at stars.

Thanks Mauser, you rock, I usually will be live at the weekends.

that's the way to do it---it can be tough to follow along otherwise. sunday major time is always a good choice, although i'm not sure how that lines up with your local schedule.
