My first room I started playing at is pokerroom.com, this is also where I made my first deposit.

I use to be a hard core bonus hunter back in the days before online poker and they just had the regualar online casinos. Started in 2000 or so I believe. You use to be able to download a casino deposit 100 and get a 100 dollar bonus and only have to wager 600 bucks. It was like free money. Gaming Club Casino use to be one of my favorites b/c you deposited $150 and get $150 bonus and you only had to wager $900. I'd do my best to break even in some BJ and Video Poker and cash out my winnings.

Well at some pt(2002?) Gaming Club Poker Room came out and offered like $60 bucks for a $20 buck deposit with some small rake requirement. I played some small limit and cashed out up $50 or so. Shortly then after I discovered Freerolls. Gaming Club (or actually the whole Prima Network) back when no one actually played there started offering 10 people Sit N go freerolls. They paid top three $25,$15, $10. They had like 10 tables going for a couple of hours at night. They did this for months. I cleared over a 1k just on those freeroll sit N Gos. Since then I have joined many different casinos. I love to play in MTT and SNGs. I'll play the occasionally freeroll (like BPP) but I don't have the patients for those 10000 people freerolls where if you get 15th you get a buck. I miss the 10 person sit n go freerolls when they paid $10 bucks for third. Those were the days....

Yeah that can be pretty gay but if you take it you get a nice lil cash prize. First freeroll i played on bet365 good for 5th out of 10k gave me 36 dollars if i woulda won i woulda got 145 i believe, but the final table is so gay there BB was about 1/15 of the total chips on the table so whoever got the cards at the end had it in the bag.

My first poker room was Betfred and i played real money from the begining. First play their freerolls which were great. After that i begin entering $2 freezouts.
I first begin playing poker in december 2004 after i saw a friend of mine how he play.
I learned the basics very quick and try to improve my game every time by reading books and articles of the best players.

cut my teeth on party poker and once i realized what else was out ther I deleted partypoker and have been there since.

I just started and Titan has been the only place I have played. Of course it's for real money but I only play the really cheap $1.00 buy ins or the freerolls. I have to learn more about what I am doing before I attempt any more than that. I have not won a tournament yet. I have won $1.25 twice and $10.00 once but I had my husband playing part of the time on the $10.00 win. He doesn't play at all but at least he knows how to play (that's more than I know). I don't like TV and my sister plays poker online a lot and she now has me hooked.

Been there...I actually started out on Partypoker....

[Graves69]

PAF (an almost local) betting agency started out a new game at their site; Poker. So why not try this, as there was a freeroll available, 2. So I gave it a go one night and ended up 17th out of something like 350-400.

Got hooked, moved on to other sites, Titan must be an all time favourite...hehee, funny to say "all time", been playin' only a month or so. And still no money out of 'em freerolls, other than that 3.50 $ I won at the 1st ever tournament.

But still...only playin' freerolls, until I improve my game. Best method of learning 4 me on my budget: this forum and all of ur advices as well as ur freerolls
