Nightmare outcomes still stalk my waking dreams:
Dan loses all his money; cannot quit playing; comes to me for funds; I tell him no; he borrows from the Mob and loses his kneecaps.
Dan makes millions; lives in a world of casinos, cocaine and one-night stands; wakes up one morning in middle age to discover his life is empty.
Dan is reduced to grinding online until it sets his teeth on edge; cannot bring himself to return to school or take a low-wage job; withdraws from human relationships.

Something awesome came in the mail today. And I got a new computer!
A new short film about online poker. It’s really good — filmed well and great story telling. It’s exactly how I wanted thepokerfilm to turn out, before stealthmunk came down and drank a bottle of Jack.

Online Poker
As you all know, I have a love-hate relationship with online poker. A long time ago I played on Party Poker but it didn’t go great so I took about four years off. Then, about a year and a half ago, I signed up for a rakeback account on Full Tilt Poker. This means I get 27% of my fees back every month. Over the last 18 months I’ve gotten over $1,000 back so it’s been a nice bonus to keep me funded on Full Tilt.
Anyway, I’ve been exploring some other options and other sites to play on because I think Full Tilt can be a little too tough at times. There are a lot of good players on there and, while that’s helpful to improve your game, it isn’t always helpful when I’m trying to win. It seems like one of the better ways to get started on new sites is via the free poker money offers at a site like Poker Source. They let you get a totally free $100 to sign up (depends where you’re located but it’s $100 in the US) and you don’t have to deposit at all. It’s basically a freeroll to try out their software and games. I don’t see a downside so I think I’ll probably give it ago and see if I can get a bankroll going on another site.
