$10.00 FREE/ PART ONE

 

Funny, how a dollar sign tweaks a part of our brain to new heights. Like breathing in fresh mountain air that spark of exhilaration drives us to want more! Well as players we are offered all kinds of FREE bonuses from online casinos and then some.

We’re human, are senses always want something for “nothing”, and we want to take all we can get. How would we ever have time in our lives for family, friends, and the world in general? Hey! Who cares we’re getting it FREE, right? So this is the mentality?

What a life! Sitting at our computers playing poker – you couldn’t ask for anything better! Me, my computer, multi tables, multi games, and my sore “butt” from sitting, a winner! Wow! Ah! What the heck, with all those FREE bonuses and winnings, I could hire a butt massage! “NOT”!

Real world – there is always some form of mathematical analysis on determining percentage of winning and losing players. Here’s a story! I get an email offer $10 FREE to play. So I took it, an adventure into the realm of online poker. My day off from work, nothing planned and the rest of the family, working or at school. So what the hell! No obligations, just register, download the site, log on, and play!

So, here I am, looking around for a table to play the great game of NL Texas Hold’em. Wait, found a table its only 25/50¢ NL with 9 players, small stakes, with my $10 FREE, and playing with people from all over the world. What more could you ask for?

Action – I watched the game until the big blind came around to me – here we go! The first 6 hands “nothing”! So were at $8.75 now. Back to me in the big blind! Cards dealt wow a Q2 unsuited (NICE) a little sarcasm, sorry! You have to have humor in this game. OK, the flop QQQ what happened, Oh! my goodness, I check, check, bet, everyone else called, the turn 7d, I check, check, bet, raise, call, everyone calls, the river 9c. The board is now (QQQ79) I check, 3 checks, bet, an all-in, and 2 all-in calls, fold, and me calling the all-in with what I have left from the $10 FREE.

Guess who won? Now my $10 FREE is in the thirties –WOW! They say luck plays a part or was it skill? Anyway, not to bore you, I played a total of six hours that day and in the end, we went from 25/50¢ to $1/2 to$5/10 to $25/50 NL games and won $5,000.

Yep - From $10 FREE to $5,000. Hey, was I playing my best game ever? Must have been! Did luck pay a part? Must have been! Was that email for $10 FREE faith? Must have been! Is all of this TRUE that I’m telling you? You can bet on it!

Oh! Yes I did take $2500 from that unbelievable day. How spent, college books for my kid, dinner and flowers for the wife with a little something extra, a new TV for the mother in law, a gift certificate at Children’s Palace for my granddaughter, small digital voice recorder for thoughts to save and write about for my readers.

So, what’s the ending – that will come in the next article - I call ($2500 balance or bust) watch for it – I can say, it was even more thrilling that what your reading now!

Good Luck at the tables!
