Ah - obviously

Yes, our StrategyPoints work a day or two behind in most cases. Sometimes it can be longer but that is exceptional more than the rule ;)

As you've already got Bronze status your account is definitely tracked to us and you should see yourself earning StrategyPoints very very soon!

Thanks a lot!

It's been a tense couple of days, I started with $30 ($20 deposit + $10 bonus), I dropped to around $21 playing 2NL.. to be honest so many fishes there and they call like anything.. which can be a disadvantage to me because I tend to bluff sometimes. After I hit $21 I decided to go to 5NL (is that what it's called? 0.02/0.04 BB) and played good now I actually gained $9.40 and am above $30 for the FIRST time! 2NL is TERRIBLE for some reason.

I have another question, if I get 1 Points770 (Poker 770 points), do I get 1 point on pokerstrategy or what?

EDIT: I end the day up $11 with $32 now :).. pretty awesome day.

I see you are silver status now so your StrategyPoints are definitely going through!

Congratulations, this opens up a lot of new material to you! A move to 4NL is not a good idea even if you did manage to book a win. You are asking for serious trouble! Did you read about Bankroll Management anywhere on our site?

You should definitely stick with NL2 for now as there is a lot less risk of going bust than their would be at NL4!

Variance is HUGE in poker and if you under estimate it then you will definitely go broke!

Any thoughts on starting that blog? This thread is beginning to read like one now

Well it's a little different but you have the general idea ;)

At Poker770 for every $1 rake you generate you earn around 22 Poker770 points. For this same $1 rake you also earn 5 StrategyPoints!

Poker770 points can be used on their poker client for bonuses/tournament tickets etc whilst your StrategyPoints count to your status on PokerStrategy.com

Hope this helps!

Ok thanks, so basically if I get 4 or so poker770 points I get 1 strategypoint :)

I am up... another $13.58 today.

Basically, I was at $31 this morning (Up $10 yesterday) and I played with $1 at 2NL, basically playing with my profits.. and then I made $13.58!

Up $23 in 2 days playing NL2 and NL5 :)

Yep all correct!

Seriously mate, you should really start a blog

It can be very good for your game and it will give you the chance to meet players on a similar journey and you can grow and get better together!

Check out our blogging section and see for yourself!

Thanks, I will think about making a blog.. the problem is many people seem to post graphs, and I dont have hold em manager or anything, so my blog would be less attractive if I were to make one..

P.s. I am up $7 today (or yesterday since its 1 am here :))

I am running hot, hopefully it continues!

Having Holdem Manager or PokerTracker 4 isn't that important at the micros. In fact, I think it serves as a distraction - especially to new players.

For now I would be content on learning, learning and guess what... more learning! Tracking software and Heads up displays can wait for now. Get the basics down, play your cards and not a bunch of statistics and win. It is that simple!

You have to crawl before you walk - right?

Thanks,

I have another question.. can I go to another poker room to get the $10 bonus? I am currently at Poker770 and playing there but I want to try another poker room while playing on this one..

thanks!

No problem,

You can play at as many of our partner rooms as you want at the same time. However your free $10 bonus is a once off! Well, you may get additional offers via e-mail from our marketing team but you cannot request them ;)

Always keep a constant look in your registered e-mail account and you may get an email from PokerStrategy.com offering you a further bonus! These are issued at random though and not everyone receives them!
