In the boom days of poker many poker sites would tempt you with free money to join there site although most of these offers seem now to have disappeared over the last year or so. Whist on a midnight Googling session the other night I found a very interesting forum thread where a player had turned a $10 free bonus into over $600 in a month or so. Now reading through his thread it became clear to me that this is something many could do if they think about what they are doing.

If you study this thread you will see that slowly but surely his bankroll grew although he did take a few knocks on the way but as he used good bankroll management he was able to bounce back. To build his balance he played cash, sngs, mtts and even heads up games at low buy ins and had a great run playing $5 heads up games winning 11 out of 12. As his bankroll increased he seemed to focus more and more on playing heads up games with the odd shot at mtts. This again backs ups my theory that playing heads up games can be a very profitable route to making money from poker and I will be posting many heads up strategy articles in the next few weeks.

If ...
... you are looking for tips regarding bankroll management or perhaps need to brush up on your bankroll management skills the thread is well worth a read. The thread is posted on the blog of Poker Freeroll World in the top feature section which I guess is a little strange as he did not cash in any freerolls, but as the $10 was free I take their point. Perhaps this will inspired you to take the free $10 and see it you can spin it up to over $500?
