My enthusiasm to play Internet poker has dwindled in the past months as most poker sites are a hazard for viruses and protection by software companies are limited. Over the years having lost many poker sites (some of my favorites and most world top notch) has also played a huge cutback to participating on site.

In beginning a new year there is one poker site that I have found to be a huge success. Back on January 26, 2015 I joined Poker site #21 where this site gave out free $25 for joining. In 2-years I have been playing on that original $25 never once depositing any of my own money. This site presents many freeroll tournaments that people win tickets to cash tournaments. My entrance to tournaments remain small, never to exceed $5 and I have been a winner at this site.

APRIL
Desk top computer with Windows XP no longer will have upgrades as for security issues and with Internet Explore 6 not being compatible with many Internet sites changes had to be made. Purchasing more memory of the desk top has been a blessing for the short time that has increased speed and the ability to remain on the poker sites.

MARCH
This is the first month since 2008 when first joining Internet Poker that this player didn't join at least one tournament.
FEBRUARY
My desk top computer has now only 3 poker sites (#1, #10, & #12) all part of the same poker network and because of computer slow down having trouble staying in poker rooms on the Internet the realization of upgrading software is being less compatible and discouragement exists. At poker site #12 entered 2 Freeroll tourneys and on 2-2-14 with 758 players came into the $$ by ending 45th to increase my bankroll at poker site.
JANUARY
To begin a new year my love of Internet poker has dwindled because of the passion I have for my writing and fantasy sports commitments. The changes in the computer software also has much to do with playing Internet poker less as more sites are upgrading their software every day and the cost to make changes with my desk top computer is overbearing. The plans to upgrade are forthcoming.
At poker site #12 entered 4 Freeroll tournaments and on 1-6-14 out of 1,526 players came into the $$ by ending 73rd to increase my bankroll at the site. At poker site #10 entered 5 tourneys in the month and came into the $$ once when on 1-10-14 entered a multi-table re-buy tournament with a total of 311 players (re-buying 2-times to remain in) and ending in 28th place to receive in return 317% of total investment.

On May 19 entered a bounty tournament at poker site #10 in hopes of breaking a slump of unlucky. A total of 285 players in tourney with the top 27 in the $$ and entered the 2nd hour before again having a winning pair of Jacks lose all chips by a drawn 5 with the river draw giving a player 3-5's and a huge winning hand with a total of 4 players at the table of 10 players performing all in. Ended the tourney #76 and having won 3 bounties received back 136% of initial investment.
This is one month that like a pile of dust I would sweep under the carpet or bury six feet deep. Not only was this an unlucky month but a month that poker site #14 went bankrupt and this member having a bankroll would lose out without receiving back. This is a first and is another reason why this member plays at these poker sites on the Internet with little to lose.
This member did join a new poker site #19 on 5-29-13 and played in one Freeroll with 1202 players and ending #760.
This member did play one tournament at poker site #14 before the site was deleted off the Internet with their pay station for withdrawal and lost. At poker site #10 entered 12 tournaments not once coming into the $$ except for return of won bounties and ending 1-tourney on the bubble.
