First go to www.PokerStars.com and register. Then go to the poker room and click on Hold'em and click on Play Money and find a $5 to $10 tables to begin with. That's pretty easy. Every hour they give you $1,000 in free play money if you loose and they do this give you $1,000 more up to 3 times an hour, every hour from then on. If you loose don't worry because as you play you will get better and better and it is 100% free. I just kept one half of my promise. You get to play Texas Hold'em with real people and you may even become friends with them and set up a regular game. You can always change tables if you don't like someone on the table. Just click on Leave Table then click on a different one.
Now hear is how to accomplish the second part of my promise, which is to make real money for free. Keep on playing until you make $6,000 in play money. This should take you 3 or four sessions at the most. Leave the $5/$10 table and go to the $100/$200 no limit tables. Continue to play. If you loose all your play money no problem. Go back to the lower stake tables and start over. As you get better and better you will eventually win over $40,000.
I did this on the first day.
Once you have this $40,000 bankroll you can really start to play big stakes poker (fun money style). It took me a week to reach my first million and 3 weeks to amass a $10,000,000 play money fortune. I then put this on an Ebay auction and got $200 for it or $20 per million dollars in play money chips. Eventually Ebay stopped play chip auctions but it doesn't matter. You can search on PokerStars Play Chips and go to any one of a dozen sites where they pay generally between $15 and $25 per million chips and sell them to people for twice that. Heck you can even start your own site and cut out the middle man. It is very easy to transfer your play chips to another person since there is a transfer chip function on PokerStars.
These chips sell because they make wonderful gifts for your poker playing friends. There is tremendous demand for them since online poker is so popular. They are bought and sold like any other commodity.
I delivered on my second promise. You can make money by selling your play chips. $200 was nice for me and I have another batch that I am about to sell.
I said you have to have a desire to play Texas Hold'em. I do and hopefully you do as well. The money sales won't make you rich but $200 in three weeks for doing something you love is not bad either. PokerStars is just one of the sites you can do this on. Party Poker, Full Tilt Poker are other sites.

Post a CommentSounds like a fun way to make a few bucks.
I'm so glad I decided to go to some of the older articles. This is so neat. I'm emailing it to myself.
Another great poker site to pass along to my brother
sweet advice Steve. My buddies and i just started our first Texas holdem night....this will be good practice!
I never knew that was an option! :) Thanks for the tip, though I dont think I would have the time or skill to accumulate all that.
That is strange but there are so many other places to sell things. So why worry about Ebay.
There seems to be many wevsites that buy and sell chips. I have never heard of one being closed down. I have never heard of anyone getting in trouble doing it. That being said, Ebay which used to allow the sale of play chips on its site, does not anymore. They say it's gambling related. However that seems unusual since they allow real money gambling chips to be sold on their site even now. Go figure.
That's interesting but what are the legal aspects of it?
That is interesting, didn't know you could do that!!
Amazing Steve, I am not a poker player, but you are very knowledgeable on this. thanks
