I wouldn't say I've been tempted to go back, but there was definitely a small temptation to continue while I was there. I know they're -EV, I'll never play them (outside of a situation like this), but it's easy to see how people can become so hooked.

As much ass as you kick at NL holdem table I think even considering playing games like that is a problem.

There are a lot of sites that you can sign up to for casino whoring. It's so much easier than poker and it's brainless and it's most of all +EV. You just have to be disciplined....meaning if you tilt in poker....it'll be 10x worse if you tilt in casinos.

YOu just need to find the right bonuses and you can make a lot of the online casinos a profitable experience...instead of an gamble.

ya, and i havent played, i just have been tempted to... and this thread was brought on by reading some in 2+2 who never b4 played casions, then did the $50, and are now hooked.

one guy was betting 1k a hand at BJ, his roll is 100k, but thats just stupid.

i actually uninstalled it from my comp right after i was done with the bonus tho.

i might look into casino bonuses tho like windbreaker was talking about
know of any good sites right now wind?

Check your hourly rate at NL. Online BJ whoring will prob only be like a 5th of that at most. Stick to poker man, trust me.

i can get you some sweet casino hookups through my site, we have all the trustable deposit bonuses, quite a few now are giving 400% plus, and one site if you lose your deposit of $50 within 24 hours, gives it back!

I am speaking from the point of view of someone who has gambled EVERY DAY for over 10 years in one form or another.

Blackjack is the crack cocaine of gambling, plain and simple.

If I had 1/20th of your talent at hold em I know for sure that BJ would stand for one thing and one thing only in my life, and it's not BlackJack.


If you are really board kicking ass at poker then I would be very happy to trade sports betting lessons for poker lessons, but playing games that casinos build zillion dollar resorts on is just not a good idea.

true, ya that was a bad idea, i wont be playing any casino games, thanks for making me realize how dumb of a temptation it was.

i think i am gettin a little bored with poker tho, thats probably cuz ive been sick more than usual this month and therefore played more hands in a month than ever before combined with the fact that instead of 4 tabling im usually at least 6, and mainly 8 tabling now.

I know this has been responded to, but I am going to say it again. Um.. Dude. Are you kidding me??? why would you even CONSIDER grinding out a few dollars playing $1 BJ, when you earn as much as you do playing poker???

This seriously has to be the worst and stupidest idea I have ever seen from you. At least with POKER BONUSES you can win money along the way, but at your level, you shouldn't be worried about bonus whoring AT ALL... you should just be playing wherever you cna win the most money (through your play, not by cleaing random $100 bonuses here and there).

BTW, this post of yours really did make me go like this:

Keep your spam out of here, ok, especially as it relates to "your site" (which, oddly enough, isn't even yours). I think you're walking on thin enough ice that you really don't need to be pressing your luck right now.

If you want to post specific casino bonus offers or whatever, that's fine... but don't you even dare spam "your site" or make people go there to get the deals.

Sound slike you will make about 50 times more (not an exggeration) in Rake Back this month as you would by spending that same amount of time chasing silly casino bonuses - not to mention the tens of thousands I'm sure you're actually winning at the poker tables too.

Plus, if you think poker is boring, imagine playing BJ in the way that you need to play it to make chasing casino bonuses profitable. Somehow, I don't see you playing $1 BJ and having fun. Stick to poker, kid.

lol glad everyone here makes me realize what an idiotic idea this was... but its not like i was considering bonus whoring to make $, i just meant that doing that casino stuff was kinda fun and thought getting a bonus would be a way to lose less $ - def. not something i would be doing to make any $.

but ya, i wont be doing any of that, and poker isnt boring really either. i just need to change it up i guess, ive never stuck to one limit for This long and just been grinding at it. ill stat playing some tournies again and it will be more fun..
