Poker - Is Patience is a virtue?

July 21st, 2008

Table Tales - Patience

I was having a bit of fun today in a tourney over at Everest Poker.

Anyway, finally I made it down to the last three without much drama and then got on top through some blind stealing as the other guys seemed kind of passive. The weakest of these guys fell in the end as he ran out of chips to play with and got penned in the corner… leaving 2 of us heads up.

Next thing, it got to the point where I had 65% of the chips and got a tasty enough looking hand (QJs). The other guy goes “all-in” off the bat so I call him… he’s holding J6… he hits the straight with the 6… I call him a “nice guy” and “pat” my monitor;)

Anyway, I have been playing like a muppet all week so am playing for my pride here and stay patient. I get QQ and he goes all in again… this time I win… I now have 70% of the chips. He goes all one more time… this time my J10 against his 107… I am waiting for him to get lucky again… my fist is ready… not this time… my hand wins out.

I don’t always have it, but patience is a virtue and I think the beats and what have you will even out… just bear it in mind.

Best of Luck & Thank you,

Sign-up Bonus at Full Tilt Poker

July 21st, 2008

The Mission - straight ahead.. full tilt!

I am still going on the Everest bonus, despite playing like a muppet. Anyway, I have decided I am going to tackle two welcome bonuses at the same time as I like the look of this poker room and especially the bonus at full tilt poker. You can get up to $600 as your welcome bonus, we will have to see how hard it is to get.

Join Full Tilt Poker and join me on my mission as well as get entered into the prize draws and jackpots on this site.

Full tilt poker also offers a lot of other attractions so I am going to try to organize a few private tournaments for visitors to this site in order to get a bit of fun and a community going.

Logging out…

Best of Luck & Thank you,

Sign-up Bonus at Everest Poker

July 20th, 2008

The Mission - Climb Everest!

This is the start. I hope the end is not too close. Today I started on my mission to take $1,000,000 out of free money from the casinos, bookies and the poker rooms. By this I mean trying to get a piece of the pie they are giving away.

At this point I am full of excitement as well as reservations. Obviously there is no such thing as a free lunch.

After a bit of poking around I have decided most of the casino bonuses are not really worth going for as the house odds basically mean you will never make any money going for it unless you have lady luck on your side. I am sure some people will tell me otherwise, but I think the online casinos are just for fools most of the time.

Thus I have decided to concentrate my strategy on the poker rooms for the time being. The first bonus I am going for is the one over at Everest Poker. They offer a welcome bonus of $100. Join me on my mission now!

After a few hours of play here is my first status update:

Best of Luck & Thank you,
