Hi, ToyerKhan,
Welcome to PokerStrategy.com !

I hope you're finding everything you need here, but if not be sure to ask!.

As for taking the blinds, no need to worry.
The players sitting out know full well that they are forfeiting their blinds and antes.

Occasionally when playing freerolls, you will find yourself at a table where EVERYONE (except you of course) is sitting out.

Go nuts!

Best of luck,
--VS

Yes there are quite a few good players that made final table at the WSOP main event from South Africa, however I am still very bad at the game and learning ♦

I live in Johannesburg.

Thank you for the welcome, I will definitely ask if there is anything I would like to know.

Just frustrating playing free rolls and getting bad beats, but that is par for the course, but I've played the lesser cash tournaments and people go all in with the most ridiculous cards, not complaining though, enjoying myself

I may be wrong but there are some casino's in JHB that play poker.

Hi there

I don't go to casinos much, the one I have been to here does not have cash holdem tables. In Cape Town though they have cash tables for holdem players and tournaments every Sunday.
I actually took some money from a poker pro at cash game in Cape Town, was really chuffed with myself.

Sorry I could not be more of assistance though.

I know of a casino in Jhb that has regular MTT's - That is in Krugersdorp, Silverstar Casino.

Regards

Toyer

Silverstar, Monte and Empors Palace have cash games every day.

MTT are:
Monday @ Monte
Theusday @ Empors
Wednessday @ Monte
Thurday @ Empors
Friday : 1x per month @ Empors
Saterday : @ Empors
Sunday : @ Monte

There use to be a Sunday tourney at Silverstar but AFAIK it has died but I may be wrong

I have not been to those casinos in years, just go to Gold reef City as it is closest to me and my wife likes it there

Will try and check it out in the future though

Thank you for the information, appreciated.

I am chuffed, made it to the top 40 of the pokerstrategy freeroll tonight and I am over the moon.

Yesterday has been good to me won my first Festival 5Euro freeroll today and place 2nf the day prior to that. Have also won lot of tokens for feeder tournaments. I have won 2 21Euro tokens, but damn those guys play tight on those table and on my second try I missed the money by 5 places

But thanks to this site I am learning a lot and I have won and lost a lot on the SnG's but once done I admonish myself for making stupid calls etc.

Well the past 2 days have been fun, hope it continues.

I play predominantly on Poker770

Another thing how about sending a raffle gift to South Africa ♠_love:

once again the help on this site is invaluable.
Another thisng is to say thanks for my Silver Medal wooohoo, now to go for gold ♦

Hey ToyerKhan,

Well you are certainly having a lot of fun. ♠_biggrin: Keep those nice results coming and keep studying and those good results will continue. Hmmm. Yeah a Gold badge would look nice.

Keep crushing ♠_thumbsup:

My first $100+ win, my best before this was $12.50 in the Poker Strategy freeroll. So there is hope for me yet

Hi, ToyerKhan!
Congratulations!

I'd say that there is more than hope!

You know what you're doing, and what is more, you play a solid disciplined game.

Best of luck,
