Cardmates Gambling Portal – All About UK Poker & Casinos

I am the guy betting in position, QQ pre-flop all in on the caller who raises initially.  Based on their VPIP of over 70% I called a fish move out of position and was right, they had 5/6 offsuit flop hits and I am pretty much drawing dead (1 of 2 remaining Q's or J/J runner). I am kind of getting used to it now, even late in tournaments, but would love to know if anyone has any tips for 888Poker, it';s not really fun when the fish get the run of the river way more times than variance would suggest is possible.

Six days. Six clues. One thief.

Hello,

My name is Ross.

I am your average low stakes grinder, who loves a good free roll or very low stakes.

I started taking poker serious at the beginning of this year, in which i have managed to grind to $1000 as of now.

Here is going to be one of my easy grind ups for you guys, this is for 888poker.

So i start by max late registering the tournament below. There is a fair few of these throughout the day on 888poker.

Because you late registered on the last 30 seconds, you will go in the tournament just before your aloud a add-on of chips, which i always do. Only 1 add-on is allowed its $0.04c for 15k chips and it will take you to ITM, sometimes you don’t even need to play hand to get to the next tournament.



Then you arrive in the Micro Rollers - 20/30 Seats GTD, and these usually only have small fields like 50/60 players and its really soft play. Once you win that you WIN your $1 ticket for the $1000 micro rollers mystery bounty, i have some nice wins from these tournaments they are very soft. Try it yourself see how easy it!

Any questions feel free to give me a shout.

Ross.

Hey Cardmates, 

Managed to get to step 3 today with a free ticket from GG.

I'm sure many of you have done this and it feels great winning back to back! I felt good and felt confident but then something changed in my mindset while looking for the step 3 tournament, I said to myself hey maybe wait and play this game a little later no need to rush, I did stop and think maybe that is a good idea, But also felt good and thought if I'm playing well why not carry on and go for the next step. 

I rushed entered a late registering game and was slapped with the BB first hand, I instantly knew I had made a mistake joining, Needless to say my head was gone and I didn't even stay long enough to warm my chair out in 24th, The dream died for today. 

But it isn't all bad we learn from these things and if I have learnt something today, It is listen to those little feelings and just take a little longer to reflect on them and taking a step back even while winning isn't a bad thing.

Feel free to share your stories.

Thanks for reading and good luck at the tables. ♠️❤️♣️♦️

Morning Cardmates,

I was hoping to reach out to this community, as I have been back here the last couple of weeks and have noticed a big decline in blogging and community engagement.

I was under the impression that we were building a friendly and supportive community that interact and hopefully pick up tips on improving our skills along the way.

This all seems to be missing from the community since the financial incentives are not on offer at the moment.

I don’t know why because sharing information, blogging I have found improved my game, kept me involved and and I gained strategies which I implemented into not just Poker!

This blog may go unnoticed, but the few that do decide to read this I think you should try to get more involved as I know it will improve your mindset for not only poker but life in general. Interaction with other people/players who navigate the same extreme environment that these games can produce.

Communication with others who go through the same situation can make a big difference ♥️♠️♦️♣️💙
