Hello guys, I've been playing cash game for while and finally I feel like my experience has grown and that I should move on to tournament tables.
What kind of game do you prefer, what would you recommend and why to someone who is lets say mid to average??

I play mostly on winamax,PS and 888

Thanks in advance

Hey gurl
I'd like to give a poker advice: It depends 8D

what are your cash stakes right now (or bankroll for that matter) and how many hours do you play in a session and month?


I tried out like almost everything but I am mostly playing 45-180man on stars as they are running often enough and also are best to plan into a specific timeframe

best wishes

With 6-8 hrs you are fit for the usual MTTs that the sites offer. I'd multisite to pick the best majors from different sites. 888 has some good satellite as they often overlay and always have rakefree rebuys/addons. I'd also add partypoker to the list of playable sites as they have good rakeback and only 50% rake for PKO tournaments than the other sites.
While you're at it, I strongly recommend the "Caption" apps called StarsCaption, PartyCaption and 888Caption. They strongly improve the playing experience, multitabling organisation and are with 25-30$ yearly fee def worth their money. You can get them for free to try out for mtt games under 3$ BI. Another tool I use is StarsHelper (other user might prefer Table Ninja) just for the cause of efficient tiling over multiple sites.

Other than party, I'd stay away from hogging one site as rakeback has become nothing especially on 888/stars. VPP points for MTTs have been halved some months ago pretty much without anyone noticing (as we already didn't take rb serious on stars these days)

If you are good in cash, chances are your biggest leaks are ICM like Final Tables and Bubble approaching right now. For that I suggest to rent out a copy of Holdem Resources Calculator and do extensive calculating everyday, minimum 30 minutes per playing day is a good routine long term.

And maybe get the" from the ground up" MTT course from Run it once or Tournament Masterclass from Raise your Edge. Better to spend money for education as for some high buy in where you don't deliver your best

In this spread sheet I listed some mtts from 888/stars and noted their ending times so you can easily see which tournaments would fit into your schedule. The times are UTC+1 I guess (it says utc+2 due to summer time but I can't remember when I made the sheet). And the sheet may be off here and there as it has not been updated in the recent months. Could help nevertheless.

wow thank you for the list. I was also thinking to try with affiliate programs, but the thing is i never thought of a rakeback as an income...so now i am exploring that possibility too....
i will research the list, still not sure which game is the best to try...
