Bumblebee Room on Carbon

I was just curious on any thoughts/advice on the best way to play these bumblebee rooms on merge. Carbon is not where I deposited (credit card doesnt work on merge), but I do have a $1 sitting around from a Fun Step. I was going to see if I could turn that into $5 just playing the .11 super turbo 6-man SNGs (bumblebee room).


Is the best strategy to play tight and way for your cards, or do the blinds come way to fast on these super-turbo 6-max SNGs? Is it even possible to "crush" these tournaments, or is there way to much luck involved?

well I won the $40 pokerowned freeroll today so have $10 to work with, so may not be doing this bumblebee spree as planned. Any advice on best way to build a BR from $10?

$0.60 SNGs are probably your best bet for a $10 BR. If your feeling lucky maybe the $1 dollar dazzlers. Good luck

oh, the bumble bee rooms are a total fish and donk game. You can get it down to 3 just by folding your first 10 hands, they will knock themselves out, and they also are a almost double up or fold. Gl.

DO NOT play the 60cent SnG's, they are the worst one's to play on Merge and possibly all of online poker. They feature an astounding 20% rake and a long play time for a single table tournament. You require an out of this world ROI to break even in these let alone win money in the long run.

I would personally stick to micro stakes cash games, Limit Holdem. And then play some cheap MTT's, under $1 of course

Think these are by far funniest to play of all games. My girl friend hooked me up with these a few months ago and thought, what a joke. So I played a few with her and they were a blast. Sure you're not looking to make withdraws from these but mastering this format will help you at final tables. Best advice is to try to isolate with postion. Most times people will shove with any Ace or pocket pair. After a few orbits you will need to play little more open with blinds increasing.

Winning these is the only way to build a bankroll. Coming in second puts you at about break even. From there your DoN's with tight play can be a great BR builder.

well based on how I have watched you play and see your PO stats, I would say that you advice is pretty good for a small BR. Thumbs up

i actually find the .60 FF Sng's to be really easy to cash in. I can reg for 5 and cash atleast 3, and if you multi-table they don't seem as long. if you play smart, you'll likely be profitable in those.

Yea I sometimes wonder if I could get 2nd place in the bumblebee rooms just by sitting out and folding every hand. SO many times it is down to 3 people within 5 hands its ridiculous. Never thought about it helping your game at a final table out though, interesting.

Well, make some more money in the PO freerolls and then you can start with $1 DoNs to build up your roll

I won around 3 or 4 of these s'n'g s and lost in a couple but not easy thats for sure someone or the other goes all in in the first or second hand itself most of the sngs on carbon are turbo but overall i won in them..

dont play these games gonna have to try some of
these too increase the bankrolls

I would suggest sticking with the PO freeroll and building a base.
If you like the ring game then do the micros, as far as the easiest builders I like the $3 DONs, they are fairly easy, but you do need a few buys ins to cover the ones you won't cash in.
Once you build it to a fairly decent amount I would drop the DON's and just do the STT SNGs

Good luck and Congrats on winning the game yesterday.

the bb rooms are a donk fest - I've won some but dont do it to build bankroll

you have to run very well in the beginning to be a big fan of the super turbo SNG's...the online pros who play the super turbos have a very minimal ROI, but the rakeback is sweet

it's pointless to do the .11 super turbos, i'd do the $1 super turbos if i were you.

Yeah, that's definitely the plan. Playing in one of those freerolls now, would definitely be nice to get wins in back-to-back days. Thanks guys!

I do not like bumblee's. They are too hard to win.

bumblebees are deadly and a donks favorite home id avoid them like the plague if i was u

ive not tried carbons bumblebee room, should try it out sometime...

all the micros are the same, play them with intelligence, and you can be profitable in them when variance isn't killing you. Find a style of a game that you are good at, and stick with it to make the money to cover the games you are working on, and don't put your BR at risk for a big score, the Funsteps aren't really that fun.

the .11's can be good practice for new online poker players, there are 500 more starting chips on a .11 than the others. can develop good strategy from this.

they sound terrible
better to play a few pokerowned freerolls unto you have $100
then play acording to bankroll management rules from there

typically alot of shoving early on. Let the Donks knocked each other out. Play smart and use position.

Mastering these kinds of formats could potentially help you on the final table as well as HU. They can be fun sure, but mostly you either shove all in or fold. Raise wit a marginal hand and someone will shove to collect your raise. You then decide ok call or fold. At any rate tho, they are cheap and experience can always better the individual poker player and his or her game. Best of luck to you on and off the felts. *hugs*

the bumblebees are nothing but a shovefest

I do not like the bumblebees'. They are so hard to build a bankroll.

i think once u hav a decent balance u shud play on the $1 sit n go in which 5 out of 10 ppl r paid chances of winning in that are higher but also if u lose u wud lose $1 so keep that in mind before playing.

You could easily grind these out. Yes you start with 1500 chips, but they are soo scrubby

I've thought about doing the bumble bee's also. Although I like the idea of micro stakes limit holdem cash games. I never thought about playing limit holdem to build a small BR. I think that is a safe and great idea though.
