Here at NoPayPOKER as on other free online poker sites as there is no risk of losing money there does seem to be an “element” among the membership who, shall we say, like to play with what can be politely called reckless abandon…AKA playing as donks.

If that is not you then by all means read on, the post below is amusing (we think) if you are a donk…please read and think.

Now, OK, it’s up to you how you play but wouldn’t you rather win by design rather than by luck as, guess what, poker is NOT a game of luck or chance WHEN you know what you are doing.

When you play donk then it’s luck and at considerably worse odds than a coin flip (hint there, there is such a thing as odds…why not visit the free poker training sections to learn about that)

If you’re an addicted donk but you do truly want to get better you need to check out all the free poker lessons and also run through the simple 12 step program below. Once you are out of the hole then you can ignore step 12.

1. Acknowledge that there IS a fold button.
2. Admit to yourself and others that you have a problem using the fold button.
3. Contemplate the possibilities of using the fold button.
4. Fold.
5. Try not going all in on the first hand before the flop, just once.
6. Overcome the idea that having pocket cards 39 offsuit is a good reason to shove in all your chips.
7. Realize that a successful donk is just lucky, and not really someone you want to emulate as a basic strategy.
8. Admit that you are and always will be a donk unless you take positive steps to stop.
9. Reconcile with those you have donked, through apology or repayment of freeds.
10. Have faith in your own ability to overcome your donkiness. (Learn how to play poker)
11. Stop praying for that higher power to bless your preflop calls.
12. Stay of ring tables.

So you yourself a favor, believe us, poker is much more fun when you play it properly, who knows, one day you might actually be able to play poker for money at a place like PartyPoker and not lose your shirt!

Incoming search terms:

• being a donk

A very common poker search term online goes something like this: “free online poker for money” or cash – or variations of. There are a lot of people out there who want to play online poker for free but still be able to win money.

Rather impossible most would think, hoping against hope like the desperate people who type in things like “free money” or hope to earn lots from those online scams where you have to pay to get put in contact with companies who will pay you to do surveys or do data entry jobs.

Of course there is no such as truly free, at NoPay for example, while you cannot lose money as you cannot deposit it you do need to put in a lot of time and be a decent poker player in order to get the “free money”.

But if you are good enough what are your cash out options? Our super member only1dani has taken the time to write this great article telling you what you can do once you’ve got a big stack of Freed just begging to be turned into real money.

So, without further ado I will hand over to only1dani:

Congratulations, you’ve been playing on NPP for a while now and have built a bank large enough to cash out and hopefully had a lot of fun doing it. 

I hope this article will put to rest any fears you may have had in not being able to cash out.

As you have been told when you first came to this site the current currency rate is 200 FreeDs =$1 USD and the minimum cash out amount for non-premium is 8000 FreeDs.

Neteller is the available cash out option for many countries.

Since Neteller is not available to all countries; listed below are some really great alternative withdrawal options NPP has provided that we all can use.

Keep in mind that many of the cash out options do not require you to have as large of a minimum.

AFFILIATE CASH OUTS – Go to My Account then Withdraw Money

This is a fantastic way to cash out since it gives you the benefit of playing a real money deposit site plus staying at NPP and earning even more cash to deposit, with just a little multi-tasking you can play both sites simultaneously.

The current minimum deposits for affiliates are listed below:

Titanpoker – 4000 FreeDs = $20.00 USD

PartyPoker – 2500 FreeDs = $12.50 USD

FeltStars  – 5000 FreeDs = $25.00 USD

Winner  – 4000 FreeDs = $20.00 USD

CarbonPoker – 2000 FreeDs = $10.00 USD

First time withdrawals receive great deposit bonuses from both the Withdrawal Site and NPP plus many times NPP and the Withdrawal Sites will have promotional offers for additional withdrawals.
Always be sure to check the News and Updates for the promotional offers.

FREED EXCHANGE – Go to My Account then My Exchange Transactions

The FreeD Exchange is a place for players to sell to other players and other than providing us with a place to do this NPP is not involved. 

These sales are between players only.Â
It is an easy format using Paypal or Moneybookers and FreeDs sell quickly depending on the sales price, and yes, you may sell for more than the current rate, most players do. 

Players using the FreeD Exchange have had remarkable success in selling their FreeDs.

The current minimum sale is 200 FreeDs or Ten (10)  Percent of your bank, if you are premium this goes up to Twenty (20)  Percent.

A good trick in deciding if this is the option you want to use is to open the exchange and look at the sellers with larger feedback ratings, this designates how many times they have sold, as you will see some of our NPP players are doing very well and have sold thousands of dollars worth since the Exchange opened.

As you can see there are multiple options for cashing out, try them all, never limit yourself.

In this short free online poker tips article I’m looking at some basics areas that all players, new and maybe old, need to be very aware of – the oft overlooked importance of your table name and then some fundamental tips on how to play smart in order to cut into probability and minimize “bad luck”

First : Your name

• The user name is the first “indication” or tell that you give to your opponents when you arrive at the table. In the online game unlike the real game there is a lot less to go on and your user name can be one of them if you choose unwisely.
• Remember – the point is to win. So do not be a pseudo aggressive or too “nice.” These are nicknames that you remember easily and regulars will note you.
• Be like a spy – they grey man as they say. Go for a meaningless name that will not stand out. Aim to stay as anonymous as possible on a poker table. Only silly boys call themselves things like psychopokerman or all-in-maniac etc!

Second : play smart on table position, playable cards and who you play against.

• Learn about table position and how it affects the cards you should play. See our free online poker training lesson Building a bankroll lesson 2 for details on table position and playable pocket cards.
• Observe and record clues about the players you come into regular contact with – the good AND the bad.
• This can help you in games and also to choose tables to play at when you see how is seated already. See a table full of weak players….get in there! A table full of good players – avoid!
• On this note, if the poker site you’re at allows you to see other player statistics then this can save you a lot of time in figuring who you should and should not go up against.

Playing free online poker is all about fun but playing free poker that also pays you to play increases the fun to a whole new level and NoPayPOKER does exactly that.

I have played on NPP for over 2 years and have found that organizing the time I spend on here makes it more profitable which to me translates into fun , so when I first log into NPP each day I do the following:

FIRST THINGS FIRST 

    ADS – Do these every 90 seconds 26 times a day.

1. Click the ads at the same time every day.
2. Track the time by using a free on line countdown timer.

    BONUS CHIPS – Increase your odds of winning.

1. Read the article HERE on how to get 450 free bonus chips a day and do this after clicking ads.
2. When you have built your bank to a sufficient level buy additional bonus chips to help you win even more FreeDs.

ENTRANCE TO THE HIGHER PAYING TOURNAMENTS

    SPONSERS -  Do a minimum of 25 FreeDs  weekly to qualify for the 10k Sponsor  Game. 

1. Read Suzzie’s article HERE on how to do these all the way through then keep it open while making your first attempts as a reference tool.
2. Check offers to make sure they are still valid prior to doing them.
3. Ask other players which sponsor offers they are having the most success with.

    QUALIFIERS – Try to win at least one a day, I play them while playing other games. Don’t be left     

    out of the higher paying games, do these early in the week or month to ensure entry into the finals.

PLAYING GAMES ON NoPayPOKER

The only suggestion I will offer you in this area is to try all of the games not just the freerolls to see what is the best fit for you.  Some of the privately made games are a lot of fun and profitable as are the league games.

CHAT LOBBY
If your new to NPP you may have noticed the unique chat lobby and  the Moderators that are always there  to help you.

In addition to this is it is a place to meet and get to know other NPP players, a place to laugh and a place to just have fun prior to even registering for a poker game. Want help celebrating your birthday, your anniversary, having health issues and just need a few kind words, tired of being alone? You will always find a friend in the NPP lobby, we are like a family there and we really do care about all of the players on this site.

If most of you reading this article are like me then the bad economy is taking a big bite out of your, what I call, flexible income. This means that you, like myself, have to find a way to entertain yourself without spending a lot of money.

We all know that when we go out for a night on the town the bill can really mount up, but there is a way to have a lot of fun without spending much money. The way I am speaking of is to join a free online poker site. Not only is playing online poker fun, but it is also a great way to meet new friends. Most online poker sites offer chat groups.

This means that you can chat with other members of the site while you play or between games. This gives you a great chance to make new friends as well as a way to learn some really great free poker tips. Most sites also offer great poker tips and training for the new player to help you learn to be a better player.

There are many online poker sites to choose from. Some cost money to join and play, which really can go against having fun and saving money, but there are other sites like No Pay Poker that give you the opportunity to play and find new friends for free.

If you really want to find a way to have a whole lot of fun and save a whole lot of money doing so then find a good online free poker site that offers chat lines, good playing tips, and free poker play, and you will be amazed how much fun you can have while beating the hard economy. Good luck, have fun, and good luck.
