Web-based casinos have consistently had the status of currently being at the leading edge of web based amusement, and the newest invention in web casino enjoyment is no different. Online casinos are beginning to grant their potential customers signup bonuses which don’t require one to place down your dollars. No deposit casinos do not require you to make a deposit (hence the name) that you can pick up the bonus.

An Interesting Concept: Eustress
Friday 19 February 2010 @ 2:27 pm

I was reading the poker shrink (a pretty prominent poker online publicationg) when I came across a term I had never heard before. It was a term related to stress only it was stress polarized. We all know the term distress, which is a bad kind of stress, it causes our performance to decline. In high enough doses, it can cause us physical or mental illness. Just about everybody in today’s high speed, competitive world has had their fair share of run-ins with distress.

But the poker doc, he had something else in mind, it’s usually confined to sports it’s that feeling of just enough stress (external environmental stimulus), to make one perform optimally and at a higher level than one would if one had no stress.

I know it sounds a little strange that stress can be “good,” but hear me out. Sometimes we need that stress to motivate us to get things done. The student with the term paper due in a week, has eustress to get the paper done to pass the class.

Now, number one is a neutral mindset when it comes to poker. It’s neither playing in a state of distress or eustress. And while it’s not as dangerous as playing in distress, it’s still detrimental to your game as you have no motivating factor to keep you playing well.

Number two is playing in a state of distress, also known as playing with “scared money.” You’re game won’t be optimal since you’ll be so nervous about losing this bankroll, you’ll be more timid. You’ll miss opportunities of taking down stacks since you’ll be more reluctant to get all your chips in. You’ll also be less inclined to make more complicated moves against players who you know you can outplay.

But number three, that’s the ideal eustress mindset when you’re in such a situation as described above. You’re a little nervous since you know this is the bottom of your bankroll, but you’re going to play it confidently. You know you’re just on a downswing, and that at any moment you can come back up. You’ll be more prone to get your money in good, and if you get drawn out on, you’ll just take it as part of the game. Quite simply eustress here is playing on a higher level since you know that if you lose it’s over for a while. But there’s that slight nuance, your play isn’t nervous. In fact, your play is more confident because you are finding yourself rising to the challenge, meeting it head on, and conquering it at the casino.

Absolute Poker Bonus Code
Tuesday 9 February 2010 @ 6:35 pm


Absolute Poker has a special deposit bonus that new players can get if they use the right bonus code. It’s actually called a referral code but whatever - it’s all the same. When you sign up for a new account at Absolute Poker, one of the first things they ask for is your “referral code.” The current referral code can be found at this site:

Absolute Poker referral code

You can use the latest Absolute Poker bonus / referral code to get a 150% bonus added to your first deposit. In other words, Absolute Poker will more than double your first deposit there. A $100 deposit would result in a $150 bonus, for example. This is one of the most generous poker bonuses in the industry.

Note - you might also be asked for your “Absolute Poker bonus code” when you make your first deposit. In that box, just type in the same referral code and you’ll get your bonus. As long as you fill in the referral code somewhere, the bonus is all yours.

Next, the bonus money is placed in a pending bonus account. You can release the money by playing poker at Absolute Poker. The money is released in $5.00 amounts at a time automatically. The speed at which you clear the bonus is based on the stakes you play and types of games you play.

All poker sites require players to play poker to release their bonuses. This is a safety mechanism that keeps people from just signing up for the bonus and then getting an instant $500 and cashing it all out immediately. The bonus is meant to be a reward for people who actually play, not a free $500 for anyone who takes 5 minutes to sign up for an account. It would be nice if it worked that way but that would be suicide for all poker sites.

At Absolute Poker, the bonus money is released by earning AbsolutePoints in cash games and tournaments. You can earn AbsolutePoints quickly by playing in both game types. In all, it doesn’t take long to clear the bonus. If you just play poker like you normally do, your bonus money won’t take long at all. You have a total of 60 days to clear as much of the bonus as possible.

The main thing to remember is to use the latest working Absolute Poker bonus code when you sign up for an account. Whether it’s called the “referral code” or the “bonus code,” it doesn’t matter - the same code applies for both. You can find out more by visiting the link near the top of this article.

One Hand an Hour
Monday 25 January 2010 @ 12:54 pm

Lots of online poker players tend to panic when the cards don’t seem to be going their way. A few rounds of dry cards can make the tightest poker online player bet with garbage if they start to panic. Luckily, you can rock a tournament without flopping a full boat every other poker online hand. I recently cashed in a casino hold ‘em tournament this week, and I managed to do it with just three winning hands. I hadn’t really realized it, but when I realized that I was in the top four, that I hadn’t won very many hands. It doesn’t take a lot of work to make it to the end of a poker tournament, just a few big hands every now and then. The trick is to make those hands count. When you get a winning hand make sure that you do everything you can to fatten up that pot. Aggressive players love to bet when they sense weakness, so checking may induce a bet from them .If you’re playing aggressive players, suck them in with feeler bets and some well-timed checks. Passive players will be happy to check to the river, so be sure to bet into them and make them pay to play. If you’re not getting a lot of exciting cards, don’t worry. Try to set a goal of winning one big hand every hour or so, and if you can pull that off, you should be doing well.

Another Etiquette Style Point to Consider
Friday 15 January 2010 @ 9:58 am

Another etiquette style point to consider is how fast you play the game, how fast you make the decision to check, bet, raise, or fold.

Most players play at different speeds. Some plat fast, some play slow and take time in making each and every decision. Certainly, there is no right or wrong speed with which to play poker.

Online poker tends to be faster than live games, because there is no liver, human dealer to deal and shuffle the cards. That is all done automatically. So, most online players expect the game to go at a quick pace and can voice frustration at those who take a long time to play.

Certainly, when involved in a big hand in online poker, you should deliberate and take as much time as you need to make the proper decision. But if you are taking up the full time limit to make a decision on every single hand, you should probably try and figure out why it is taking you so long. Not every single decision in a game of poker requires excessive thought and deliberation. When playing online poker, for the most part, you should try and move at a brisk pace.

Big Stack vs. Big Stack
Monday 21 December 2009 @ 9:49 am

When you are sitting on a big stack in a Texas Hold ‘Em poker online tournament, you want to protect it and make it grow with as little risk as possible. That factor is why poker pundits often exhort players with strong stacks to avoid engagement with other big stacks, especially those that are larger and able to bust you out of the tournament.

Though you only want to take on another big stack after careful consideration, to always back down from a big stack’s challenge simply invites repeated attempts to steal your blinds or intimidate you by raising your bet. You become a target, and most likely the bully stack will attempt to push you around with any two live cards if you are so tight that you fold every time.

You can’t just wait for a monster hand because your stack will erode and your intention will be so clear as to make your cards almost visible to your poker online opponent.

The way to counter a bully big stack’s threat is to come back with a strong defense that does not totally decimate your stack. If the bully has continually three-bet your blind, then at some point, you are going to have to raise when the option comes back to you.

You can’t avoid this bully forever, and you are going to have to fight fire with fire. Obviously you can go on the attack yourself when you do have a good hand, but there are other times when you will have to leverage your position and come back over the top of the big stack when you are under attack.
