If you have a bank account, you can open a Netteller or Firepay account, and deposit/cash out money to your underage heart's content.If you need any advice, just send me a PM, though it's completely self-explanatory.Ice

I would be happy that you're placing in the top 30 everyday! that's a pretty good accomplishment and you should be proud of yourself. you'll get there for sure

Free rolls suck.

Losing to a hand that you have dominated (at one point anyway) is part of poker. Get used to it or play a game with no luck involved. A good way to keep this from totally consuming you in anger/frustration is to realize that only by playing someone who does things that are "not best" (or just plain lousy lol) can you make money.I will say it again for emphasis. Only by playing someone worse than you can you hope to make money in poker, and having the better hand will lose a good amount of the time.Figure out the odds (with a poker calculator or by yourself) of AKo losing to 76o with both offsuits making 4 different suits (or even with both the 7 and 6 being dominated by the suits from the AK), and do similar exercises. You will soon realize that you are going to lose with the best hand a LOT of the time.If you are getting to about the top 30 each time it is possible there may be a problem with the way you are playing the game at that point in the tourney. Recogniz ethat as any tourney progresses you need to change gears as the others change gears too. Poker is not just about the best hand, it is a game theory problem too, and for tourney purposes that basically means doing the opposite of what your opponents are doing.

I know i will, but the thing is I know that im better then every one of those 500 players, but bad luck likes to follow me around. Each and every day it seems i would have placed in the Money, easy.. But i just get a dealt a hand that is basically unfoldable... And surely enough i get killed by a hand that sucks out and kills me.For my 17th birthday, which is coming soon ive asked my mother for Money to play Holdem online with under her name..She doesnt like the idea.. but I got her thinking about it Really hope she approves.

This is why you shouldn't play online for money until you learn that you are wrong about this.

You know what every underage poker player has in common? Arrogance, they are the best in the world, right? It makes me sick to think that you, a 16 year old thinks he is the be all and end all of this game.

I know what the odds are, Ive studied them ALOT. But the hands im complaining about are the ones where im above 90% to win. Yet they happen much more often then that. I also NEVER seem to be able to suck out. Id never complain about losing a hand like AKo vs 76o preflop, as my odds arent even 2-1....

[Catamo]

Im not going to go around comparing myself to pros, But im definetely better then 95% or so of players who play online. And those who are better then me dont play in Freerolls.

[NickTheKid]

Im not going to go around comparing myself to pros, But im definetely better then 95% or so of players who play online. Okay you know what? I gave you a chance, now it's just terrible.You suck.

[Catamo]

So your just Ruling out the possibility that anyone thats 16 (17 in 5 days ) can be damn good at poker?

[NickTheKid]

No, but you are definately inexperienced, and poker is all experience.

Tells me all I need to know regarding your "skill".

[Catamo]

Well, maybe i can change your mind in a Heads up or something. I might be getting a Bankroll for my birthday.

These type of posts happen so often that I think we should ask Jayweb. if it's possible to get an 'arrogant teenager' disclaimer written below each of these posts. That way we could all know immediately what we're dealing with. Top 95% huh? Poker is my primary income right now and I don't have the stones to say something like that.

[NickTheKid]

Sure, bring your whole bankroll, I'd gladly do this, pokerstars.

If your a living off playing online, You should.

Go rewind Rounders, watch that and stop wasting my time. You know what, I'll take my own advice, it's Playstation time.
