Free Poker

Since I have nothing else to do at work, I will post my experiences at playing poker. I mostly play the free tournaments around town such as APL and NPPL. My favorite game in Dallas is at the Lodge run by Dan Michalski. It attracts about 70-90 good players each week and it pays the first 5 places which is not bad for a freeroll. Each of the places come with a free lapdance.

1st - $150 in gift certificates
2nd - $100 in gift certificates
3rd - $60 in gift certificates
4th - $40 in gift certificates
5th - $20 in gift certificates

So far I have won it once, came in 2nd twice and made the final table 3 other times.

Another great thing about this tournament is you earn points just for playing and even more points if you make the final table. When you cross a threshold set by Dan, you are invited to a "Tournament of Champions" where the winner gets a $1000 seat to a WSOP event. Also the point leader at the end of the "season" gets a prize as well. The "season" started in October of last year and runs until June.

Every now and then, I will go play a cash game, but I don't have a bankroll as of yet so those are few and far between.
