Poker - $200 for free to play poker online

And to finish the weekend $216 + $959!!!

2009-06-08T02:38:00.003+02:00

He! He! 3rd post of the weekend :)

To finish the weekend in style I made it another 1st place on a sit and go of $4.00+$0.40 winning $216 and I completely went overboard on my BRM and decided to play the pokerstars Sunday Warm-up with a buy in of $200+$15 with a guaranteed prize on $750,000. I managed to end up on 100th out of 3996 registered players and make a total of $959.05!!! Here is the prove:

All in all because I have played a lot of tournaments I end up the weekend with a profit of almost $3000!!! I think I could go pro :) Unfortunately now is time to stop dreaming and get back to reality. Tomorrow another day in the office.

I really enjoyed this weekend and because my family is out I could dedicate myself %200 to poker and showed good results. I'm looking forward for my next window of opportunity to continue playing!

24 hours after another $768.60!

2009-06-07T11:42:00.007+02:00

Well I "kind of" did it again 24 hours after :)

This time a diferent tournament $50+5 with a total of 1098 players and I end up "only" in the 9th place taking the nice prize of $ 768.60!!!

Here is the prove:

Right now Im delirious and feeling good!!!
Would it be possible to do it 3 straight days?

He! He! After 5 hours of sleep Im back and ready for more. Bring it on!!!

My first "big" poker win - 14 hours after... $1683!

2009-06-06T13:30:00.008+02:00

Hello everybody!

Its with great pleasure that I will post here my first "big" and decent sucess on poker.

This was on a deep stack pokerstars tournament with a buy-in of $11 and it took my almost 14 hours to beat the other 962 registered players. Here is the print screen of my victory:

Looking forward to play my next one :)

What about you? When was your last big poker victory?

Back to Poker! Update of the TukTuk Poker model statistics

2009-06-01T11:49:00.001+02:00

Hi,

I finally managed to find some time to update the statistics and I can tell you that the tuktuk poker model keeps on rocking!

Even during this extensive period of time that I was not so active promoting the tuktuk poker model a lot of friends still registered and collected their free money. A total of $18,3985.00 is being played everyday by you!

Please consider the updated statistics up to May 2009:

I would like to also update you on the special promotion I have been running from the start of this blog. The first top 10 will receive the full TAF money back i.e. $100 gaining a total of $250!

Here is the update of the top 10 players:

As you can see there are still 2 places open and actually a lot of you are really close to get to the 5000 strategypoint mark! Keep on playing and I wish you good luck!

Interview with "eudodo": fixed limit helped him to get a spot in the top 10!

2009-05-19T06:04:00.001+02:00

Hi,

Another week and another player in the top 10 promotion!

"eudodo" just made it and as before we ask him to share a few comments with the tuktuk community :).

Here is an extract of that interview:

Tuk: "Could you please give us a short description of you and your poker career?"
"eudodo": "I am 33 years old, living in London and playing poker a bit longer than a half year. Actually, I started playing poker just before I found PS site.
At the start I played mainly in tournaments. I still remember these freelrolls with over thousand of participants and the fact that usually I got busted on a bubble. It was a long lesson.
In meantime I started reading a lot about poker. There is a lot of books about fixed limit and I took this direction. The content of PS site consolidated my knowledge and it helped me a lot. Now I feel that I am 'fixed' for life."

Tuk: "Do you still remember how did you find tuktukbkk.blogspot.com?"
"eudodo": "I found tuktukbkk.blogspot.com on some site with poker news. There was a brief info about tuktuk-TAF model and PS."

Tuk: "What made you register?"
"eudodo": "At the start I was sceptical but I decided to have a look and see. I thought that as long as I do not need to pay anything and submit certain personal details I cannot lose anything. If you want to play poker you definitely need to take a risk, so it was not a huge decision. However, in case of tuktuk-TAF model and PS site, there was no risk involved. (I could have go all-in)"

Tuk: "What do you think of this "tuktuk" model of giving back the TAF (Tell-a-friend) money?"
"eudodo": "This is a kind of extension of TAF system that offers PS. And a pleasant surprise. Here again, you cannot lose anything but you can gain a little extra and if you want you can have some connection with other members of PS via Tuk."

Tuk: "To whom would you suggest this type of model?"
"eudodo": "The model is for everyone. Once you understood that registering directly to a poker room is usually the worst option (most often you do not get the best deal with your first deposit or rake-back - sometimes no rake-back!), you will appreciate the value of registering via various sites that offer you something extra.

Tuk: "Anything special message you would like to leave for those who arestill in doubt that this is for real and it works?"
"eudodo": "Doubts? You have 30 seconds to respond ... Decision making is a key point in poker."

Tuk: "And any hints/tips you would like to leave for those still runningtowards the 5000 StrategyPoints mark?"
"eudodo": "Try to be consistent and work on your game. Check the site you are playing on and the number of points that you can get. It is very tough to get more points on micro-limits on a site like for example Poker Stars, where they do not count partial points. (this suppose to be changed in the nearest future). But the key is to improve your game. With time you will change your limit and everything will accelerate. Good luck at the tables!"

Thank you so much "eudodo" for an excellent interview!!!

Please consider also the confirmation of the payment of $100 to your Full Tilt account as you requested:

What are you waiting for? Get on board and start playing with our free money! The TukTuk Poker model rocks! :)

All the best,
Tuk

Interview: StusMagic made it to the top 10 and received $100!

2009-05-18T22:56:00.000+02:00

Hi,

If you have been following my blog for a while you know that I have been running a special promotion on top of the tuktuk poker model where the first 10 players who make the 5000 strategy points will receive 100% of the TAF money I get from pokerstrategy.

Well guess what? We have another player in that group - StusMagic just made it! Congratulations!

We asked him a few questions and here is an extract of that interview:

"My name is Dino and I am from Croatia and I am 18 years old Ive been playing poker for 8 months and i was using lots of free money offers coz I was affraid to lose my own money so free money sites were option.

Before I found pokerstrategy i was playing without brm and any strategy was getting my first 50$ to like 300$ in one day then lose it all second day and search for next site for 50$.

I found your blog on google search when i searched all kind of offers and I was confused coz I had to read articles to get free 50$.I failed from first time coz i didnt read any of articles and I tho it was piece of cake things about poker basics but i saw its more complicated then that and I read it all and started to play by that strategy(sss).

Your offer was better then most of other sites coz all i found was 10$-50$ that actually worked.I think your model is good way to earn some extra cash and I think its good model for everyone,I cant think of anyone who wouldnt have use of some extra cash :D.

For those still running towards the 5000 StrategyPoints mark I can only say this things:

1.Stick to brm and never go to higher limits than your bankroll can afford
2.When you feel like tilting take a break instead of loosing another buyin or more buyins
3.Never give up"

Thank you so much Dino for your kind words!!! Please consider also the confirmation of the payment of $100 to your pokerstars account:

I will soon update you all on the top 10 list. All I can say is that there are still a few places left so get on board and start playing with our free money!

All the best,
Tuk

3 months without posts... Im sorry!

2009-04-23T15:51:00.004+02:00

Hi,

As you might have noticed I have been absent of any poker activities for the past months. Not because I want to but because my other priorities in life - family and work - are consuming all my spare time.

For that Im sorry if you feel that I have not been reactive enough to your messages!

Im also writing this quick post to let you know that the tuktuk poker model is still on and soon I will post the statistics and the top 10 ranking for my promotion.

Hi,

Its with great pleasure that I would like to annouce the start of my new site - http://freepokermoneyonline.com

I have been working on this for the past weeks and that its why you havent seen me so active on my tuktuk blog.

My new site will have all the components from my tuktuk poker model idea and more. Im starting with a promotion on Titan where I give free $30 + I give back unlimited $10 for each 1000 titan points. With this you would have an opportunity to get free money as you play for the rest of your poker career. This is something nobody else is doing!

Im starting off with Titan but Im currently discussion with all other major poker sites to see what can be done similiar to my tuktuk poker model. The intention will always be to find the best way to play poker for free online.

So what does that mean for the tuktuk blog? Nothing! I will of course continue promoting my tuktuk model based on pokerstrategy and you can continue registering using my step by step guide.

What you might see diferent is that I will finally have some advertisment on my tuktuk blog for my new site :)

I would love to receive your feedback to my new site! Please send me your comments.

Pokerstrategy.com - The best poker promotion - $200

TukTuk Blogspot as the the perfect add-on!

Hello my friends,

I wish you all a great 2009 full of poker sucess! Im really sorry for this lack of posts but the Christmas season was extremely active and busy and something add to be hold back :)

2008 is gone and its time to look back for a quick review and start preparing 2009.

Everything started in April 2008 as an idea to share the money I would get for refering a friend on pokerstrategy. They give up to $150 for anyone who register on their site to play poker online for free and at the same time they offer up to $100 to anyone who refers a friend (Tell a friend - TAF) to register at pokerstrategy.com. Combining both I decided to give 50% of the TAF to all that register using my link as explained above in my quick step by step guide. This is definatly the best poker promotion to get free money to play poker online and a perfect add on to the current pokerstrategy.com promotion.

I then started measuring some of the results of my initiative and the 1 I like most is of course the amount of free money that has been already released because of my initiative.
The final results for 2008 is an impressive $15,440.00! Here are the updated statistics:

I have then decided to create an additional incentive and for the top 10 players who reach out to the 5000 strategypoints mark I give back the 100% of the pokerstrategy TAF promotion so they get a total of $250. So far 5 players have already reached that mark and there is is still 5 places to go! Keep playing good poker and you will get there:

2008 was of course a year of tests and some of my initiatives were not so sucessful specially because I didnt get enough traction from my registered friends, 1 example of that was the "10000 hands competition" and the "$200 Freeroll tournament". I still think people dont believe this works and there is also a problem of trust. I hope that during 2009 I can try those ideas and other but with more people active and able to participate.

In terms of payments everything is working well and my friends like the fact that I give them the option of paying to almost any poker site or even on PayPal. Here are a few more payments I did in the past days:

Payments on PayPal

Payments on Pokerstars

Payments on Titan Poker

Looking forward to 2009 I have a lot of ideas and things that I would like to do to take my idea to the next level and to continue offering the best online poker promotion. 1 of them is to improve this blog in terms of design and functionally and Im right now looking for a better option. I will keep you updated :)

Thats it for today! Again I would like to wish you a great year with a lot of fun playing poker :)

My best regards,

Tuk

Top 10 promotion - 3rd place found and the race is still ON!

Hi,

Its with great pleasure that I can finally announce the 3rd place of my top 10 promotion. My pokerstrategy.com friend "eudodo" has reached the 5000 pokerstrategy points and will receive $250 completly free to play poker online.

Here is the update top 10 promotion ranking:

Thats it for today and I will go now to prepare my next post as Im more and more proud of helping others on the quest for the release of free poker money to play poker online.

My own poker conspiracy theories

2008-11-15T16:00:00.004+01:00

Hi,

Following a serie of events - bad beats - and considering my years of experience with online poker, I have decided to write a few of my own conspiracy theories that will hopefully help you improve on how to play poker online:

Death Poker Table Seat

When you loose more than 2x your initial money in 1 table get out as soon as possible because you are playing in the death poker table seat! This is even more true when you loose for example with a pocket pair of Kings or Aces. So lets say I start at 1 table with $10 if I loose a total of $20 then I simply leave that table, beacuse I know it can only get worst!

Continuous Winning Series of Poker Online

When you are winning you will keep on winning! It happen already several times that when I win a hand and go to the next one immediately after with any type of hand I win the second hand as well. this is even more true when Im the chip leader or in a cash table when I have double up my initial investment.

AQ + AJ out of position!

AQ and AJ out of position are the biggest money loosers of all time. When you have 1 of these hands AQ or AJ and you pay to see the flop but someone else raises you then you could be pretty sure that you are going to loose that hand if you decide to continue - or maybe its just me :)

20% rule of bankroll management

If you loose more than 20% of your bankroll in 1 session then its time for you to stop playing for a few hours or even for that day. If you have more than 1 poker site you like to play then give it a try on the other one. Of course I dont apply this most of the times and I end up losing a lot more than 20% and thats just because I want to get my money back and I end up making all diferent kind of stupid mistakes that you wouldnt do if you were not under pressure to recover. Stop and leave!

You vs. the chip leader = you always loose!

Thats been the case in 80% to 90% of the times with me. even with almost perfect hands you can still loose if you are up against the chip leader or the guy with most money at the table. Be extremelly careful in those situations where you have for example AA and you got your trips on the flop but then the flop also is showing a flush draw or a straight draw... Most likely you will go all-in and the chip leader will hit is straight or flush draw... Been there... done that! The reverse is also true - if you are the chip leader then you can abuse a little bit more of the low stacks as usually the house will protect you as you are the guy with more money and also the one they know will generate more rake for them!

He! He! Its giving me a lot of pleasure to release all this deamons! What about you? What other poker conspiracy theories to you have? Please leave me your comment!

To be continued...

Best regards,

Tuk

How to increase poker target traffic to my blog?

2008-11-13T18:00:00.002+01:00

Hi,

Today I will go to a different subject than my usual posts. I want to open up for discussion the diferent methods you use to drive traffic to your blogs/sites... but not any traffic Im looking at any kind of methodology or tools you use to capture the attention of users to a poker site.

I have to admit that I have been using some of the less recommended methods and I do spam a lot... My apologies for all the sites and forums that have been exposed to me and to my nasty method of registering, dropping a line with my blog address and wait 5 minutes to be banned. That was my initial strategy and although is nasty if you do it in the right forums you do get a lot of traffic of people who is looking into option to play poker online for free.

Then I tried to be more civilized and I do have a few accounts opened in a few poker related forums but its a lot more difficult to follow up as you need to be active in a lot of posts and then again this is not my life and I can not spend 8 to 10 hours every day on this.

Of course that when you search on the internet you find all different kind of options to increase traffic. I also tried that and it works but nobody is really there to look to your blog and give you input, they are there to run as fast as possible by the max amount of blogs/sites so that they can get their credits up and then they will have more people doing the same for their site/blogs. A total waste of time if you ask.

You will also see all diferent kinds of top 10 best ways to increase traffic or whatever nice title they can come up with, to see if you just click on some of them, but in the end nothing is really working. Also all the SEO ( Search Engine Optimization ) techniques have been tested and implemented in my blog but I still dont see the results of that... I need SEO for poker!

Maybe is just me or my blog that are simply not attractive enough to capture and retain the attention of people for more than 5 seconds...

All in all I pretty lost and I dont know what else should I do... Any one can help?

Please send me your suggestions!!!

TukTuk Poker Model - 1st $200 Freeroll

2008-11-11T18:00:00.002+01:00

Hi,

I have been thinking for a while now in a way to give you back even more of the money we have generated from the tuktuk poker model and I decided that I want to organize my first $200 freeroll to all those who register through me on pokerstrategy.

I have 2 questions for you:

1 - In which poker site - Pokerstars, Party Poker, Titan Poker, Mansion Poker, Full Tilt - would you like the freeroll to take place?

2 - Which day/time of the week would be more convenient for you?

I would like to receive a quick message from you either as a comment to this post or to my email and after that I will organize the freeroll in the most convenient date/time and site.

Thank you and best regards,
Tuk

More than $10000 for free to play poker online

2008-11-10T09:16:00.012+01:00

Hello!

I have to pleasure to annouce that today we have passed the $10000 mark more precisely with my blog and the tuktuk poker model we have released $10170 - free money to play poker online across multiple countries:

When I started this back in April - 8 months ago - I never thought that it could get to where we are today so I fell proud of myself and of course I have to say thank you to you all who believed in me to register on pokerstrategy using my blog and my concept.

The question now is at is the next level? $100,000? What do I need to do to get there? How could I be more effective? Does it make sense to continue under pokerstrategy or should I go direct to the poker rooms? A lot of questions in my head... Time for a brainstorm session with you! Send me your ideas and let me know if you would like to join the team (= me) :)

I will be posting soon as the 3rd place for my top 10 competition is almost there but I want to leave the suspense open as there are a few players almost there!

All the best,

Tuk

Congratulations to "Souza89"!!! 2nd place in my top 10 promotion!

2008-10-26T19:31:00.005+01:00

Dear friends,

Its with great pleasure that I announce to you today that almost 4 months after "samiow" we have found the 2nd place in my top 10 promotion. The pokerstrategy nickname is "Souza89"!

I would like to ask "Souza89" to contact me and let me know to where do you want to receive your money that will complete the total of $250.

The fight for the 3rd place continues and Im sure soon we will find the 3rd place. Thats it for today... a small post... I know but my family after 3 weeks out has total priority :)

Talk to you soon!

Travelling in China!

2008-10-18T07:04:00.022+02:00

Hi,

I'm at this moment travelling through China and I have to say... What a beautiful country!

I also only now realized that if you want to play Poker live in China you need to go to Macau as gambling is not allowed. But you can still play online in some poker platforms like PokerStars and Mansion Poker (and that's what I have been doing when I get some time for that :)

I finally had some time to quickly review the situation of my promotions and update my blog:

1 - The 10000 hands promotion

I have checked my email and for my big disappointment I didn't receive any reply from those who registered on this promotion, until today (10 days after the deadline). That's really bad and now I'm trying to understand what went wrong...

Was the target of 10000 hands to high for the period of time defined? I mean I did it but I also played several tables at the same time as I have already some experience but maybe for a beginner that's something you definitely don't do so basically if you play 1 table, lets say on average 40 hands per hour that actually means you would have to play about 8 hours every day... a little bit to much! So I need to rethink this promotion and create something that can be a challenging but realistic. If poker is a hobby for most of us then lets say you can play 2 hour per day during the weekdays and 3 hours on the weekend days. Also assuming that you can play 2 tables at the same time (otherwise I think that even for beginners poker online will be to slow) then to be able to play 10000 hands you would need 2 months!

Another reason could be the fact that beginners will not have immediate access to download poker elephant and/or they dont know or where can they get their poker hands. A quick explanation - for the poker hands in most of the sites they will be stored in a folder inside the place where you have installed the software. As 1 example for PokerStars my hands are saved in C:\Program Files\PokerStars\HandHistory, for Party Poker in C:\Program Files\PartyGaming\PartyPoker\HandHistory, etc..
So if this is the problem and the reason why you didn't send me your statistics just send me a quick email and I will reconsider your results. I will be able to upload them on poker elephant I create your graph and see your result.

Could it be because I'm locking the promotion to a specific type limit and type of game i.e. just because I play no limit holdem doesn't mean that the other also want to play that... And maybe I should use a different measurement like BB/100 i.e. how many big blinds you generated per each 100 hands. Then everyone could play at any limit and type of game.

Could it be lack of trust? I still have the feeling that most people that read my posts in forums and in the poker rooms don't trust me or don't believe in what I'm doing... I have no clue how to change that...

So I'm thinking that when I'm back home I will probably relaunch this promotion but on a different format. Please feel free to send me your comments and suggestions to make the next 10000 hands promotion a successful one!

The 10000 hands promotion is now officially closed and unfortunately I have no results or winners to announce. The money will be reused for the next one.

2 - Total amount released by the TukTuk Poker Model = $9830

I made a small change on the table and Im also now including the money I keep from promoting this, following my value of transparency. I dont want people to think that I do this just for fun... Well I do but I also do this because I can get some money to play or to reinvest in creating promotions like the 10000 hands. Im also thinking in creating a freeroll for all those who register with me, but more of that in my next post.

Here is the latest table of statistics:

3 - Top 10 Promotion - $250 for the first 3!

This past weeks the competition is being more exciting than ever. 3 players are closing the gap to the 5000 strategypoint mark - "Souza89" with 3951 strategypoints went from 4th to 2nd passing both "eudodo" with 3827 strategypoints and "vinstayl" with 3282 strategypoints. Im sure pretty soon I will be contacting them for a quick interview :)
Just for your clarification in case you are playing in different platforms and pokerstrategy takes 1 or more days the points I lock the points to a specifc day and cross checked with the other players until they get their points updated. The player with higher number of startegypoints wins.

Here is the latest table with all the ranking:

Well thats it for today, time to go out of the hotel for a Tsingtao (chinese beer!)

Please keep in touch!

Best regards,

Tuk

Update of all the initiatives!

2008-10-06T18:01:00.011+02:00

Hi,

Ive been out last week and know its time for a quick update on all the diferent initiatives Im promoting on my blog.

First an update on the 10000 hands competition - the last day to present your hands is on the 8th of October. So far I havent received any results but I do have 12 friends who registered during the period Ive been promoting this competition. Im looking forward to receive your results.

In terms of money released based on my concept of giving back the "Tell a Friend" money (the tuktuk poker model) we continue to increase the amount of free poker money and we have reached the $8510. Please consider the latest statistics:

Its is clear that not all will have the knowledge and skills to get to the 5000 StrategyPoints. This mark is, in my opinion to high and I have already approached pokerstrategy to try to break it down. If that works that means that you would get the money from me earlier. If you would like to support my request go to this post on pokerstrategy forum.

On my top 10 contest there are still 2 places open but it seems that they are almost decided. "eudodo" and "vinstayl" have passed the 2500 mark and they both seem to be in good shape to get to the 5000 strategypoints mark. Please consider the latest classification:

When looking back to May when I started this blog and seeing at I have achieved already makes me want more. I have so many ideas in my head but not so much time to dedicate to this. I need to find the right balance between my family, my personal life, my job, and of course this. Im open to work with more people and Im looking for partners that want to help me promoting my idea. If you are interested send me a quick email!

Well I think this is it for today! Have a good week and talk to you soon!

Best regards,
Tuk

10000 hands!!! Profit of $48.45 :)

2008-09-24T18:08:00.003+02:00

Hi,

I have reached my goal of 10000 hands (in fact I have played 10212 hands) and I manage to be profitable in the end. From my initial capital received from pokerstrategy.com of $50 Im now up with $98.45. Here is the latest graph:

My best and worst hands didnt change from my last post which probably also means that my game improved and I have not being exposing my bankroll as before.

You still have 2 weeks to register on the competition and send me your 10000 hands. Remember that the most profitable player will get $80!!!

I hope Í can start receiving your results to publish them on my blog soon!

I have generated $44.87 in rake and created 123 pokerstrategy points (still missing 1 day update of 1250 hands)

So far Im not being able to go to green and stay on green. Im also testing a few diferent ways of playing and that might be the reason for this "bad" results... I should have stick to the pokerstrategy suggestion of the Short Stack Strategy.

All in all apart from the fact that Ive been able to generate enough party points to join Party Poker promotional 50K tournament next Saturday everything else is being just boring... I might need to continue after the 10000 hands to see if I can present a nice upward trend graph :)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Ad, Ah

Hero raises to $0.50, UTG+1 raises to $1.50, 8 folds, Hero raises to $3.00, UTG+1 calls $1.50.

River: ($11.15) 8d (2 players)

Are you an IT expert? Do you want to work for pokerstrategy?

2008-09-15T15:45:00.005+02:00

Hello!

Pokerstrategy.com is looking for IT experts to join their team, more specifically they are looking for a web designer, web developer or system administrator. If you would like to read more have a look to this link.

Why am I spreading the word?

Well pokerstrategy is giving $5000 to those who manage to successfully refer a person to fill in the IT positions and $1000 for any other position, so I will be using the same principle of the tuktuk poker model i.e. if you get a job and tell pokerstrategy that you become aware of this opportunity because of me - tuktukbkk - then I will give you back 50% of the referral money - $2500 or $500 depending on the position you fill in!

If you are looking for a job within the poker industry this might be the one you are looking for!

Good luck with your job interview!

Not exactly the best way to start: -$11,33 :(

2008-09-09T21:08:00.007+02:00

Hello,

As you know the competition to see who is the most profitable player in 10000 hands started yesterday. I have posted this on pokerstrategy.com in different forums and the feedback and support received so far is great! Thank you!

Before jumping into my own results I would like to make note of two important details:

1 - The competition will be running until the 8th of October and during this period of time you can always join as long as you able to provide the 10000 hands for the final result.

2 - During this period of time you can play as many hands as you like and you can pick the best 10000 consecutive hands to be presented for the final result.

As you know I will be testing this concept on my own and I have played the first hands yesterday in Party Poker - what a bad start... I lost $11,33 in 773 hands played.
I played 6 tables at the same time applying the pokerstrategy short stack strategy and for a period of 2 hours.

Here is the graph:

Not that Im trying to find an excuse for this bad start but never try to play poker when you have family visiting and a small kid running around you constantly asking for you to go and play! Your focus and concentration on your actions will be -120% :)

I will also post my most profitable and loss giving hand for your analysis and maybe you could give me some feedback on what should I do better next time :) both to maximize my profits or minimize my loss:
