Online Poker Tournament Rankings

I play 25 NL and 50 NL What are some good tips for being very profitable in these games. What are some tendencies of these players. Does a 3 bet mean a really good hand at these levels? and so on.... Thanks for any advice

is it pretty much raise or fold pre flop in these games in ya'lls oppinion?

How do you play them? - Do you limp with them in early position but fold to a raise? or call a raise by one player leaving you heads up? - Do you raise with them in early position - Do you straight up fold the pocket pairs in early position? - With a 50bb or less stack, do you even bother with small pairs pre flop? - Do you only limp in , in a multi-way pot with 3-4+ players in the hand I am just trying to play pairs better because that is an area i kind of struggle with and seem to lose money calling

*all caps removed from thread title* There are some of you who say that they put in $50 or $100 and never looked back. For those who were successful, - How did you keep from going broke ( was bankroll management easy for you ) - Did it take a few years to grind up to where you are now? - What stakes did you play when you first started/ what stakes are you at now? - If you are pro, when did you decide to go full time with no other job - If pro, about how much did you have in your poker account when

Thank you all for ya'lls responses, it really gives me some motivation and helps me stay positive. I am just horrible with bank roll management. DAY1 back in 2008, in april, I had $2 in my pokerstars account. I played in a 2 dollar tournament, got 2nd for $350. Took that 350 and played 2 tables of 200NL. One table had a full buy in of 200 and the other table had 150 on it. built that up to $600. Then , took that 600 ( this is all in one night ) and played in a 100 rebuy, 150 nightly 100k, and

Well, if he's able to add on rakeback to cake, is there any way I can add on to full tilt, even though I have an existing account?

sickening

In your oppinion, Should you be avoiding races early on in the tournament where you have 30 big blinds or more? For instance: Blinds are 25/50 and you have 3000 chips, and get 99 in late position. Someone from middle position goes all in for 3000. Is that an easy fold, or is there some consideration. ( you are at a table with unknowns and it's a new table, so you have no reads ) But in general, is racing early on in a MTT bad in the long run? thanks.

I just opened up an account with Cake Poker with rakeback through pocketfives. I am about start 6-9 tabling, 40-50 hours a week cash game at 50 NL. I have never had rakeback before. I would like to know realistically what I can make in rakeback a month. What do some of ya'll make monthly off of rakeback. I've been missing out out on alot of free money. thanks for your input.

anyone know it?
