Take a break from poker and if you cant stay away from online gaming get yourself a few casino and bingo bankrolls to blow some steam in another section. Dont expect much there also. If you get lucky you might get yourself a new bankroll from cashing out after fulfilling playthrough requirements. And that in casino games. Dont know of any bingo site where you can cash out a no deposit bonus. Good luck.

G'day mate
Well all I can say is that if you truly believe what you posted above then you know what you must do to fix your problem. If you personal keep choosing to do the opposite things then you must also accept the same negative results which you seem to hate so much. We have no right to whine about losing our bankrolls when we choose to not follow the rules and play well above our means. You need to make a choice my friend. best wishes to you be cool

Very true. The good news is the last few bankrolls(Whether big, medium or small) have only been from free freeroll money, so officially I am not a loser in the sense of using my own money.
Still got 25 SNAP freeroll tickets on 888 so no harm in using those up and seeing if I can get another bankroll to play around with.

I did have 30. You have to play 50 raked hands for 3 tickets I think. I did play lots of hands in that two weeks(Had 3 new tickets every day) and even made it to copper status quite fast.
Speaking of Copper.I am currently in today's daily one. Been super tight for some reason but not really played many hands. Seen so silly things from some people. Someone trying to bluff with 67s against someone with AA ect.

In another sense it was your own money since you already had won it That ''sense" would only make ''sense" if it was a no deposit bonus for example, where you had to go for a playthrough, so losing it doesnt make much of a difference. Good luck with the rest of the tickets.

It's been generally okay since I first one that free bankroll, but since that day I lost everything I can't get anything right,no breaks and losing every flip when it matters. The last 4 SNAP freerolls I have been shafted in one way or another. Just now got into a PF all in with my AA vs someones QQ. Once again I lose with it as they hit two Q's on the flop as I hit one. Surely one cannot lose PF all'ins this much with KK and AA can they? I have a bigger lose rate then win rare with them.
Don't think this site want's me to win any free money anymore as it knows that I can play well and turn it into something.

It's actually quite a good site. I prefer it all over Stars and ladbrokes. It's easy to use and the phone app is great as well. I heard bad things about cashing out too though but I have not tried myself yet so cannot answer on that. Lot's of traffic so worth trying if you can deal with the wait for cash outs(Here 3-5 days working days)
You have VIP status things like Stars do and each one gives you freeroll access and others the same plus more points to make and the higher ones cash back. I was hoping to get to Silver as you get double points for each rake and I need 310 reward points to be able to get $10 free.

Oh no that was just a freeroll. Busto at the moment until I win some more bankroll.
------------ What is it with me, freerolls and losing pre flop flips with AA/KK against rubbish or lower cards? Is it natural to lose so much with them? Just had someone donk 45s after my 3.5x raise so I called obviously and he hits two 4's. It shouldnt matter to me much but it's happening far too much and nearly always ruins my run in a freeroll all the time. I am getting scared to call all in's with them now since I keep losing with them.
------------ Freerolls are such a b******t ride they really are. People call with anything and always hit that magic higher card. Seen people call with shite like 36o and 82s and hit trip's, especially OOP. Freerolls are not winnable or even playable unless you are a complete idiot player.

I don't know if I am a member or not. Are they always on?
Another failure of a SNAP freeroll. Not doing so great lately on the pokerfreeroll front. All I wan't is at least a semi decent run so I can actually without a big pot suckout or just waiting for a semi decent hand all of the time. maybe tomorrow.

snap is a killer for beats, simply cause you end up playing so many hands.
look at me last night, was going deep, 300 left. get in a big pot and shove all in with AA pf. The big stack calls with J7o, flop comes 8 9 T and I am out. Winning the pot would have put me top 20.
It was definetly one of those screaming moments.
They are every couple of days, you should check, if you aren't a member take the NDB from here too, play DYM's to clear the points and you even get in the $200 weekly BRM FR which has very few players, I think I won that twice so far for $70, but don't use the site so much now. Would love to build a proper BR there but ive been ul, only showing a £4 profit on the site for the year

At least it just does not happen to me then. It's always when I can gain a big stack and it goes against me. I am still sore about that time with 200 people left and I called an 80k call all in with AA and lost to 88. I believe I could have made a FT with that win(And jumped to top 10 in the standings). Standard SNAP freeroll crap though.
I wen't onto PP and sent an email with my password(Hoping it is) of my account but for some reason Outlook lately is being a nob to me and won't let me sign in or change my password. Says I keep using it and should try later or some bollocks. I'll try logging in again tomorrow or finding out my password and if not i'll email then as I have not been able to check my email for ages now.
Edit: Finally got it working. Says I do have an account under phisixuk. Hmm..
Also, was given a free $25 to play on some slot game on 888casino. Will have a play around with it.
------------ Where do I find the passwords to these Uk social FR's then just for knowing sake?

The funny thing is they sent it to me and then I just realized I am not a member of the 888Casino. I still got given it though but having no account confuses me. I had thought my 888poker account was the same as the casino and sport but supposedly not. So how did they give me that free $25 bet then(Through my email which my poker uses)
Not much poker going on for me today. Got a 888 copper freeroll in a few minutes but there is no SNAP freeroll tonight due to that Fighter jet one being on. I still have 21 tickets. How long are these running for?
Can someone explain to me why AK always hit's when someone donks it? I hate really hate that hand. When I have it I lose but when everyone else donks it against me they always hit.
------------ I am starting to get really f**king sick of this f**king b******t in poker now. Getting your money in good means f**k all as every time I do it they always suck out. AK and donking with a flush draw is what f**ks me off the most, and every time it's for a big pot when I can jump up in stack size and to have a better shot at the freeroll. I even folded JJ after two people donked before me as I know if I pushed my last 4k chips I would lose, and look what they had and what happened once I did.. One had 44 the other AQ. 44 won. Q came down as well.
Time and time again, and day and day again I go out to the same f**king b******t and it's really f**king me off. Online poker is really 40% donks 40% luck and 10% skill. But hey, the large stack who donks off all of his chips on A4s hoping for that one suit is always going to win it because that's what always happens. Sick of this s**t now as I just want to play and enjoy playing and have a good crack at it but this is the s**t that always happens. Regardless of Freerolls, MTT's, Cash whatever.

Not bad getting free money even if it is on slots. And 888poker is a big and well know site, so if you win and fulfil the requirements you wont have any trouble cashing out from the casino or transferring the money into poker, if thats an option. Good luck with it, with plenty of free spins
just dont get too addicted to it, slots are evil pure evil :=)
