This is me again

This month I played 30000 poker hands in heads-up NL 50 for a pretty good profit of 1200 $, mainly at pokerstars.

So I'm pretty pleased

Where aure we now?

Hi
Just a quick update mostly playing NL50 and NL100.
So far i'm loosing a little in poker tournaments . Let's hope the TCOOP will change that !

Today poker session

This is me again

Today I played about three hundred poker hands in NL50 for a small profit of around 40$.

 

Poker bonus : are they worth it?

As an online poker player, you have probably heard of "no deposit poker bonus." Most poker sites will tell you they offer these type of poker bonus, but will reveal no information about them.

What  does a "no deposit poker bonus" mean ?

In very simple terms, a "no deposit poker bonus" means free money. Online poker can be played with real or play money, but this kind of bonus gives you real money to play poker with. It is absolutely free. No deposit means you don’t have to shell out your own money in order to earn free money.
For example, when you sign up for a "no deposit poker bonus" in a poker site, your account will be credited which you can use to play poker. What you do with it is totally up to you. If you do win, the money is still yours.. It is as simple as that. Some poker sites have some specific rules and it is best to check out the terms and conditions of the bonus to get a better understanding of the peculiarity of each site.

It is important that you should check the terms and conditions of the no deposit poker bonus before availing these feature in order to clear up questions in your head.

Now, you ask, why are these sites offering free money? There are actually several reasons.

One reason is that it is a way of enticing a player to try a poker site’s game rooms while using the owner’s own money. There is no better way to invite a person to play poker online than to offer him free money. Most people have jitters playing real money poker online, maybe because of a fear of credit card theft or blowing all their money in the game. A no deposit poker bonus will take away most of those jitters as the player is given a preview of the credibility of the poker site and the security of their credit details.
In playing poker online, it ‘s always good advice to choose the one that has proven itself credible to its patrons.
