A Poker Dream At Dream Poker

I signed up atÂ Dream Poker today after my ignominious fall at PitBull.Â At Dream Poker youÂ get $10 for free and they don’t require aÂ deposit.Â The only hassle with the dealÂ is that you do need to give them a credit or debitÂ card number.Â Â Â

I’m not yet in love with the Dream Poker software.Â Â TheÂ graphics at the tablesÂ are not my favorite,Â somewhat like Poker Stars.Â I likeÂ seeingÂ representations of people sitting around theÂ table, like at Party or PitBull. Â The buttons to raise require more effort than I would like to exert.Â Â And the hands are dealt extremelyÂ quickly.Â So you have little time toÂ mull.Â If you like playing a lot of hands per hour, then this is the place for you.Â Â I’m still getting used toÂ the speed.Â I can’t imagine what their Turbo Hold’em is like. Â

Anyway, I decided to play no limit with $0.05/0.10 blind.Â And, boy, the Gods were smiling on me.Â Â I was simply on fire.Â Â You name it I was pulling it.Â I never had so many flushes in my life. People at the table were commenting onÂ my hands.Â It was actually quite amusing and weird. Â I’m sure I’llÂ never have this sort ofÂ ”lucky” experience again.Â Â

Without even using my little greenÂ friendÂ Pokerbility, IÂ ended up about $60 for the night, about four hours of playing.Â And I believe I played more than the required number ofÂ raked hands (100) to withdraw the money.Â Compared to other poker rooms the number of raked hands required to withdraw your money seems extremely low.Â Definitely a major plus!!

Now you migth think that $60 isn’t that much givenÂ how I’ve describedÂ the quality of hands that I was being dealt.Â Â Bear in mind, however,Â that the kind of playÂ from the other playersÂ was the most tentativeÂ I’ve ever played against.Â Players would get flushes on the river and not bet them.Â Â Moreover,Â very rarely did people go all-in.Â Â IÂ played at several different tables andÂ observed the same kind of tentative play.Â People would also fold for a $0.10 raise.Â So my winnings were a result of many, as opposed to big,Â hands.Â Â

I think I may have foundÂ my dream spot for playing pokerÂ - Dream Poker.Â

Now THIS is great gaming news! What do I do now?

[...] IÂ did have fun and I do think Dream Poker is a decent site to playÂ low stakes no limit poker, especially on their dime.Â On my last post, IÂ complained about a few of the annoyingÂ featuresÂ of their software, but, all in all, I think it is a 3.5 out of 5 star joint.Â [...]
