| Posted: 30 Sep 2009 05:41 AM PDT The biggest worry family and friends have about poker is that you may become addicted and lose all of your hard earned money. You can calm their fears, and your own, by learning poker from the very beginning starting with no bankroll. Because poker rooms want to attract new players they offer multiple daily freeroll tournaments to give players the chance to learn how the software works. These freerolls often have a small prize pool of around $100 that the poker room puts up to attract players to enter. You can win up to $15 for first place, giving you a starting bankroll that has not come out of your own pocket. You can then play poker for real money without worrying about losing your own cash. Note that you will need to plan which freerolls you intend to play as when registration opens these tournaments fill up extremely fast with over 2500 participants, sometimes within one minute! Play is generally taken seriously so the fact the buy in is free this does not mean you do not get to play proper poker. Chris "Jesus" Ferguson did a $0 to $100,000 challenge to prove you can build an empty bankroll into something much larger. There is no reason why you cannot turn $0 into much more, providing you are disciplined and always remember to follow proper bankroll management rules. The benefits to starting from scratch is you learn to beat each level from the micro stakes games upwards, practising good bankroll management as you go. This will make your future poker playing far safer and enjoyable as you will not endure the stress of knowing you are gambling with money you should be using for something else.  |
