Wilma Poker

For a poker player, the goal is to earn dollars in general. Indeed it is rarely to lose money, is it? Some players play mostly for the fun, but who likes to lose money? So why not trying to maximize your gains?

In December, I was still playing with a bankroll relatively low, and due to financial constraints, I pulled almost all my winnings online in order to pay for my expenses: rent, food, Internet access, parties, drinks. Rapidly, I thought I had to find another way to pay for some of these expenses.

So I understood that the best way to earn more was to play higher stakes, assuming I would still be profitable with tougher players. I had to keep more money at online poker rooms so that my bankroll would be larger, enabling me to play these higher limits with proper bankroll management.

Another idea was to do a little bit of bonus whoring. The principle is you register at a new casino poker room, with the goal of cashing out the bonus, and then you move to another room and do it again. Also the VIP programs help. Once you have obtained a certain number of points at the poker room, you can redeem these points at the store, against gifts or cash.

Examples of online poker rooms with good offers. At PokerStars 500 FPP can earn a $150 bonus. At Full Tilt Poker, Mansion Poker, Titan Poker, Chili Poker also there are similar offers where it is easy to collect a few hundred dollars when signing up. Or to join the VIP programs, which are equivalent to a rakeback system. For smaller players it is very interesting.

I personally unlocked about $ 1,500 in December. I sometimes registered more than once, using the name of my girlfriend or brother. But there are cons with this method. It is harder to play well and harder to adapt to each room, with little information about the players whom we play. And you will have small poker accounts everywhere, wasting the chance to play seriously at these rooms.

But there are great positive points. This method allows you to set up a good bankroll very quickly, and to join in VIP programs that are effectively equivalent to rakeback. I have started slowly doing that.

Since that time my bankroll has grown steadily and I now play NL100 quite profitably, looking to move up to NL200 next.
