Well i wish this had a better storry behind it but i loged on here the other day and had a messege. The messege said that admin will be sending me money on my coin poker so i looked and there we go 20$ was there 😁.I have no idea what i won but thanks i played a couple of tourniments and lost so thank you for the free money but unfortunatly nothing back.
So i just thought i would say massive shout out to cardmates for being such a great forum 😁😁😁😁😁
When is the best moment to enter a tournament ?
This is a question I find most interesting, and would really appreciate some feedback on this subject…….
I do myself enjoy starting a tournament pre-reg and playing the full tournament if possible. I think it gives you a greater sense of achievement if you make it to the final stages and ITM or even better the FT!
I have tried joining tournaments at various stages of late reg. I think I have achieved the best results if I late reg at sort of midpoint between 70-50 BB.
That is when I joined the $3 tournaments on GGPoker and finished in 3rd place for $1082.57
But I am still undecided on the best time because I have had mixed results from so many. I know I don’t really enjoy last minute late reg. it’s a bit of a bingo call if you know what I mean!
I do tend to stick to them two entry points of pre reg or late reg mid point.
Do you have a specific preference when to enter a tournament or does it vary depending on the Poker site?
Oh, and when your entering a tournament do you have a pre-tournament ritual?
My ritual is to set myself up on my chair with a drink, headphones on, Spotify, pick a playlist and away we go!
That hopefully, is me for the duration of the tournaments. If I can run good!!!

Look forward to your opinions Cardmates……..
Freeroll is the usual play any 2 cards donkey fest. Only played 2 hands surprisingly won with pocket aces. 4 hands later play pocket 10s flop a set - but the usual donkey called Chris who has no need to be in hand at all plays 96 diamonds and hits flush on river. Why bother playing logically - may as well join everyone else and play any 2 cards. 888 seems to help these players

I should have bought a lottery ticket today lol. Just had a message to say the virtual horse race thing I did for the first time ever, I came 3rd in and have won a free £25 bet. Anyone know any sure things?
Yep, was doing pretty good until the same lady bad beat me to oblivion over 3 hands then finished me off with an actual hand lol. The ignominy of actually having a worse hand than them!
It does seem as though this is some sort of $ equivalent, so not a bad ticket? Have you played it already?
I'm starting my first meaningful BR here too, so will be working out the lay of the land soon enough with any luck
I missed the freeroll by 80 seconds after late reg, pesky clocks changing times of things
You're on a winnig roll, whether poker or random draws
