I think you'd get a starting roll faster if you played for Playmoney on Pokerstars and then sell the playchips. (That's how I started out) I think PSPlaymoney or some site like thats pays you 12$ per million PS Playmoney....
Good luck [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I was playing freerolls in the spring of '05. I play 5/10 - 10/20 limit online now. this is feasible if you have a lot of time and take advantage of bonuses and rakeback to deal with the swings as you are figuring things out.

Absolutely. Flipping for all your chips on the first hand is a key to winning tourneys.

Absolutely, well played! Your fold equity is huge. Don't let bad results stop you from making bold and aggressive moves.
