I’m giving it another chance..
Well, Chad has convinced me to give things a second shot. As I mentioned in my previous post on the subject, Matt, Chris and I all quit playing poker online after our little taste of failure. I ended up out about $60, and Matt and Chris were both down $80 when we stopped playing last time. Chad was up $100, the bastard! 
The actual reason that he was able to get me started again is just that he has some really cool bonus codes that I can use to get a huge poker bonus right off the bat. Like I said before, some poker bonuses are better than others, but this one seems to be pretty much the best I have seen so far. It double my initial deposit, and it also lets me play in a few major tournaments that have million dollar first place prizes for free. Am I the next Chris moneymaker?
Only time will tell . To be honest, I’ll be content as long as Chad doesn’t win, just because he has been rubbing our embarrassing episodes of addiction and defeat in our faces for over a week now and I’m getting pretty sick of it. Lasting longer than him in a major tournament would make me feel a lot better about the whole incident, since now the score is pretty heavily stacked in Chad’s favor. I’m also making a big initial deposit on this poker site because of the bonus codes I’m able to use. I’m not going to give them out on the blog here because I don’t want to get anyone else sucked into anything, but you can check out the sites on your own and they are usually pretty forthcoming with their bonus codes, as that’s the main incentive that seems to get people to click the sign up button.
