Hope everyone had a great year and looking forward to an even greater year in 2010. X

Seeing this hand to the end I could see the other player calling anything with trips on the flop.  I just don't get it.  Play it slow fast or medium and still get that dreaded river hammer.  Better luck next time.  X

I don't play on Pokerstars often.  Never really took to the site like some of my friends and family.  Well most Sundays I do play the Pokercast freeroll.  It cost 1FTP and it pays fairly well once ITM.  At the beginning of the tourney, a lot of all-ins occur, but usually after the first break, normal play gets started.  Tried hard to make the final table, but the loose callers where hitting their one outters like mad crazy.  LOL.  X

Dear XPOKERCHIC,

You finished the tournament in 18th place. A USD 20.00 award has been credited to your Real Money account.

Well I went a few days without a bank and it was miserable. LOL. I am sure everyone has been in this position a time or two. I refuse to deposit mostly because I don't have a big income. Well the freerolls have saved my poker life again. I cashed today for $35. Mostly from solid play, with a sprinkle of luck. I made it to the final table with the chip lead, almost 2:1 to any other stack. I used position and rasied with good starting hands. Well my patience was high, but I could not catch a break. How I made it to headsup is beyond me. LOL. It was a great game and I learned some more tips and tricks to use.

Freerolls are a way of life for some poker players like myself. So always respect the freerolls. They are free experience, free poker time and free money. X
