Interpokering again

Warning: All poker content here, so my reader(s) that don't know a thing about poker can probably just skip this post altogether. Although, I may make fun of somebody down the line, so you might miss something.

During my initial deposit bonus fiasco at Interpoker (click on link to the right for your $90 bonus), I added onto my dwindling stack by $25, so I would be able to clear the bonus with some bankroll to spare. Unfortunately for me, it was November, and that $25 add-on counted for my deposit reload bonus for November. So kids, what have we learned today? Make sure if you add on at Interpoker, that if it's the next month, you add-on for the full $90, lest you end up like me. Although, now I only have 125 raked hands to clear, so it won't be sooo bad. I'm gonna have to hunt up some other bonuses for the month. Time to hit up Sound of a Suckout's list again.

On a related note, Cameltoes made the initial 100% deposit bonus (up to $500) at Titan poker. He reports that it's gonna be pretty tough to clear in the allotted 3 months, due to low traffic at the site. They do dole out the bonus in $10 increments, so that's at least nice. He also hit up Doyle's room for their bonus. There you have to actually enter a pot for the hand to count, making the bonus a little difficult to clear. The best way to do it is to play stud (5 or 7 card), as you have to ante every hand, therefore making the bonus that much faster to clear.

I did dabble in some $1/$2 5 card stud last night on Paradise (see link at right). I lost about $13 in about 30 minutes, as the only hand that I won was with a pair of 2's. Nice. Actually that was the best hand I got the entire time. I quit because I was getting tired, and I had already had 3 Corona Lights (thanks Dad and Mom) in my system. I figured that I'd better read up on some stud tips before I delve into it much further.

I think that I'm gonna try to play some other poker games now. I actually had fun playing 5 card stud, even though I really don't have a freaking clue as to what I'm doing. No matter. I think that I'm going to start with 5 card rather than 7 card, because, frankly, I just seem more interested in it. It's interesting that there is only 1 down card and 4 up cards to each player. Trying to guess if the person has the hand or not makes it quite challenging.

Ta ta for now. Keep on keepin' on.
