Full Tilt Poker Bonus for Joining the PPA
by
Pocketfives.com has an article on Full Tilt Poker’s PPA bonus. It’s basically a way to boost membership for the PPA. It’s not a bad deal because the bonus covers your donation. Plus you get some extra money and entry into a freeroll. The best option is donating $100 because you get a $200 bonus. For those who don’t want to donate, you can just sign up and donate nothing while still getting entry into the freeroll. This promotion ends on March 22, so, if you’re interested, sign up soon.
Personally I don’t plan on signing up. Mainly because I’m lazy and I just don’t play enough poker to be able to clear the bonus in time. The other reason is because of this apathy I feel towards the UIGEA and the aftermath of it, the new landscape of poker. Some days I could care less about what happens to online poker and poker in general. I kind of long for the old days of poker, the poker that I read about in Herbert O. Yardley’s Education of a Poker Player or the poker life described in the introduction of Doyle Brunson’s Super System. I’m not sure why that is though. But one thing’s for sure, we’re in a different era of poker. I’m not sure I like it, but at the same time I’m still here and playing.

Like you, I also long for the old days of poker - But at the same time, everything evolves - whether we like the direction or not. I spend more time reporting on these events than playing poker. Thats life I suppose - I don’t like how crowded my city has become, or traffic and overcrowding either. Maybe I’m just old and set in my ways - they say we all become our parents!

I wish I knew what the old days of poker were like. I only experienced them in books, and what I experience now seems a far cry from what I’ve read about.
But, yes, you’re right, everything does evolve and we have to adjust and get used to it.

Kind of bummed I missed out on the PPA bonus at FTP (I’d joined earlier, and am not interested in sending more $$$). The FTP bonuses take forever to clear, anyhow.
Been meaning to come around here for a while now. Have got you linked up now on HBP. Good luck at the tables!

Thanks for stopping by Shamus. Hard to follow the quality of writing in your blog, but I’m trying. And yeah, the FTP bonus is tough to clear. I’m working on my FTP deposit bonus right now and I’ve cleared about $1.6 of $320. Granted I haven’t played much, too busy with other things.
