How to build your bankroll at Virgin.

You will need a small amount to deposit, the main deposit methods are credit/debit card and Neteller. To start building from your small deposit you then need to play in the 3 weekly V*Roll Satellites. Qualification for these is 25 raked hands on cash tables.

I find the best way to get the 25 raked hands is on the $0.10/$0.20 Fixed Limit Stud tables. This is so easy, if you can play Stud you will make money easily, if you can't play Stud you just pay the anti and fold. The anti/fold method will probably cost you a total of $0.50. (today I went to the Stud table with $2 and came away after playing 25 raked hands with $8, it really is that easy)

Once you have the 25 raked hands you can play the V*Roll Satellite (you need 25 for each game). These run on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday at 7.30pm GMT. These games are NL Hold'em with around 160 players in them and the top 10 get paid an equal share of £250 and a ticket to the V*Roll Final. The final is played on the last Sunday of the month and has a £1,000 prize pool.

If you play tight and careful poker stick to good hands and watch out for the more extreme bad player it is very easy to get to the final 10 in the satellite games. It is probably the easiest £25 you will ever win in online poker. Do this several times in a month and you are soon on the way to a decent bank roll.
