Low buyins and freerolls are bingofests, most you can hope for in playing these is to rely heavily on luck, no matter how well you play.

Its a patience thing mostly. Long term, if you're playing well, using position, and nailing reads, you WILL eventually reap the rewards.

More concerned about your fixed income position. Make sure your family isn't suffering along with you. Only you can make that call, of course, and I can understand your situation, but keeping the peace at home is far more beneficially than winning a small poker game.

Not true, if you play 16 a day you should be approaching 100% roi by now

Like Str82ace said, those really low buyin tourneys are a joke and you get all sorts of idiots playing any two cards. This makes it much harder to put your opponents on hands. I would try and increase to $10-$20 tourneys as this takes out a lot (not all) of the really strange type plays that are probably knocking u out.

Most importantly I think you need to analyze the hands where you are losing the majority of your chips (post them up in our Analyze My Hand section) and then we can see what is causing this to happen.

thanks to all for advice guess the low/freerolls are a joke tourneys. didn't think that those sites were n the square with people who try real hard
unforturly i can't afford to play any thing above a dollar this really stinks if as you say all freerolls and low entry tourneys are joke this reaffirms what the videos and book say also i just was hoping that wasn't true but i guess it is guess there is no hope for me to really learn played ten tourney's today best i came was 100 place on ub in the 11:15am about 300 to 465 on all others tourneys
wish sit and goes better return for investment 50 cent entry only nets 1.95 win i have tried 7 sit goes today at 888.com anf action/tiger poker won one net loss for the day is4.75 total i'amm allowed to lose only 5 dollars a day so have two pay sit and go at wpt at 10 cent each left then only freerolls for the nite time i play rouleete once in while and win more therefor each 5 dollars i invest i usally make a dollar or so thought poker was skill related and would do better but i guess not untill you really put big money on the line i can't afford that thanks for the help off the f.u.c.k.i.n.g. hole of freerolls to try and lucky cardscfor dumb canadian retired old guy

if you're a good player and playing 10-15mtts a day for 6 months you should be showing a profit even if your opponents are reaaaaaaaaaaaly bad

There is some truth to this statement I guess. After so many games for such a period of time, you SHOULD be seeing SOMETHING resembling a profit.

Unless of course, you're the second unluckiest person in the world (I hold that title).

THESE ARE ALL GOOD SUGGESTIONS

POSTING HANDS THOUGH I DON'T UNDERSTAND(POSTING HANDS) THOSE ARE JUST A SPECIFIC HAND ADVICE, I NEED OVERALL ADVICE TO GET THROUGH TO THE FINAL STAGES
POINT THREE SINCE I AM NOT VERY GOOD (YET) WHY WOULD ANYONE LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY AND FOR THAT MATTER ,WHEN I READ THOSE STRANDS EVERYONE DISAGREES AS TO WHAT IS THE RIGHT WAY TO PLAY THE HAND SO I NEVER REALLY KNOW WHICH OF THE ADVICES IS CORRECT
ABOUT THE BOOKS!!! YOU NAME IT I READ IT EXCEPT SOME OF THE VERY NEW RELEASES BUT NOW I HAVE SPENT CLOSE TO $400 DOLLARS ON BOOKS AND USED UP ALL LAST YEARS TAX REFUND.ANYTHING THAT IS DOWNLOADABLE BOOKS I ALSO HAVE AS WITH FIVE OR SIX VIDEOS THAT I GOT THROUGH LIMEWIRE.
ABOUT A BANKROLL ,YOU NEED ONE TO MANAGE ONE. I GO WEEK TO WEEK DEPENDING ON WHAT THE MIN DEPOSIT IS FOR EACH SITE I CAN ONLY GO TO SITES THAT HAVE A LOW OR MIN DEPOSIT STRUCTURE BECAUSE I'AM ON VERY LIMITED FUNDS BEING HOUSE BOUND AND A RETIRED PENSIONER.
I NEED TO USE CAPS BECAUSE I HAVE 50 CENT SIT AND GOESVERY LIMITED EYE SIGHT AND HAVE MY FACE ABOUT THREE TO FOURS AWAY FROM THE SCREEN RIGHT JUST TO SEE THIS, WHAT IA'M WRITNG ALL YOU OTHER POINT ARE GREATLY WELCOME AND WILL TRY TO USE THEM IF I CAN THANKS TO ALL FOR THE HELP.

On the off chance that I'm not being leveled here...

The best advice I can give you is...

If you've read 24 books and you can't list them ...

You are wasting your time trying to learn poker by reading. You do not have the capacity to understand what you read so you will not improve by reading.

I started with no bankroll and have slowly and i mean slowly made my way up. I now can play $5 dollar sitngos. I get to play only a few hours a week but i did find a sitngo series video that helped my game for low tourny buy ins.
