There are three daily tournaments on Poker Stars at 12:40, 7:40 and 10:40 Eastern time that cost 10 FPP points to play and give away a $500 prize pool. Dad's a bit of a low roller. Here's an email I received from him this morning (a guest blog of sorts):

David,

This game will drive one crazy.

I went broke on my $1.60 run and played another tournament. I won $0.60.

So, I played the real money again and lost down to $0.20. I quit when I was at 20 cents because that is the buy in minimum for the $0.02 - $0.04 game.

I relaxed a couple of days and then started with my 20 cents.

I lost the first hand and was down to $0.12. But, after I bet my entire bankroll - he he $0.12 - I won.

But I really hit a bad beat last night. I was dealt TT. The flop was T22. I flopped a full house. Well, sneaky me, I slow played it built up the pot and finally began betting and raising. The player to my right called every time. When we finally showed our cards, he had a 22.

I flopped a full house and he flopped 4 of a kind. I was glad this was a limit game!!!

Last night when I went to bed, I had grown my bankroll up to $40.08. Maybe it's been lucky cards. Maybe it's a better system. Maybe a little of both but anyway, I'm winning.

That's all for now. I hope you're doing well.

Dad
