Free Money - Thanks PartyPoker!
This morning as I was getting situated for another day of work, I did the usual things and checked a couple of email accounts and glanced at a couple of blogs I keep tabs on. The blogs hadn't been posted to yet, since it was pretty early, but one of my email addresses had smoething to read which put a big smile on my face. My withdrawal from PartyPoker went through and is waiting in my Neteller account. :-)
This withdrawal doesn't have anything to do with my finances, really, since the money was only in my account for a few days and was only there to take advantage of a bonus code they sent me a few days ago. This time, I only had an extra $150 that I knew I could do without for a few days, which netted me a $30 bonus after I played the required 300 raked hands to release it. Since my quest with poker is to grow a bankroll organically from an initial investment of $50, and eventually be playing high enough stakes to generate a few hundred a month in additional income, I considered the recent deposit a loan to myself. Now that the loan's paid back, I've netted a 20% return on the "investment" in a couple of days, for doing something I would be doing anyway. Thanks PartyPoker!
Pretty soon I'll get motivated enough to add a poker section to this blog to help document my progress on growing my bankroll and generating usable debt-reducing income through poker. Until then, who else likes free money, and where have you found some recently?

If you are going to play for money, you should buy two pieces of software: (1) Pokertracker; and (2) Poker Ace HUD. Both are essential for serious online players.
