A Happy Little Story

[jwsisliving1 0]

Not a brag thread or anything, but I just wanted to say GOD I LOVE NO DEPOSITE BONUSES. I'm just surfing the net and I'm looking through various poker websites. I happen across this site called Poker Nation and through browsing that site I find out about Dream Poker & their 10$ no deposit bonus. Now I've tried no deposit bonuses on other sites, like CDPOKER or Titan Poker or Royal Vegas, but I've usually ended up blowing the small bonus on some tournament. This time though I read the terms and conditions which told me I had to play 100 raked hands ONLY at their cash games (I know it's stupid but I didn't know before what was required to clear the bonus). So I took that 10$ and starting playing the only game I could afford which was the .50/1.00 limit game (slumming for me, I usually play high stakes sit&go's and occasionally I'll play 1/2 to 5/10 no limit cash games). I start building that up. It's pretty easy for me, the competition is pretty bad at that level so I just had to play SOLID poker to keep winning. Long story short, I played pretty well consistantly for 6 or so hours, moved up the levels all the way up to the 2/4 and 3/6 limit games (still pretty low stakes, I usually play 3/6 or 4/8 limit at the casinos in my city only because I can't afford the only other game they offer 15/30 limit). Now I'm playing with 1/2 Pot Limit Omaha, a very Juicy game, with about 170 dollars.This isn't spam or an advertisement, just thought I'd share my experience with you. I've always wanted to post to this site and now I finally feel like I have something new to say (I've been reading the forums for a long time). I'm pretty happy and stoked right now. I went from feeling really really shitty about my life about five or six days (I've been in a funk for awhile) to having a bunch of free money, a renewed confidence in my poker playing abilities, three interviews for pretty good jobs (especially for me) on monday, and potentially a new girlfriend. I've been single and unemployed for a long time now, but in the last week I decided out of boredom to use the Monster.com job site and last night after having a long conversation about confidence with my friends I finally decided to try talking a cute girl who was sitting at a table in the bar.

Too easy.OP, congrats on getting out of that funk. You keep playing with 10 big blinds and you'll lose it all very soon.

Guitarmy: I had to register my card (debit or credit) to get the bonus in the first. And yes I know, now that I've got 100 or so raked hands I'll make a simple deposite and cash it all out. I'm helping to renovate my dad's basement so I have some money.Nickforgot:"breaking new!OP just went broke" I have no idea what your talking about, sorry.
