Pick a square, start writing and see how many you can complete before Halloween is over. 🎃Good luck, mates and Happy Halloween! 👻
Halloween is here, and let's be honest: poker tables can be pretty scary places.
👻 The Bluffing Vampire — keeps stealing pots when nobody sees it coming.
🧟 The Calling Zombie — refuses to fold, no matter how much you bet.
💀 The River Ghost — stays quiet all hand, then hits that one river card that ruins your entire night.
We've all played against at least one of these monsters.
My Halloween wish for you: May your bluffs get through, your big hands hold up, and your rivers bring treats instead of nightmares.
But if a brutal bad beat comes your way, don't let it haunt you for the rest of the session. The real horror is letting one bad hand ruin your game.
Do you have a Horror Poker Story ?
Would like to hear it 🎃
Being on Cardmates so far has made me realize something, one of the best things about being here is that it brings poker players together in one place.
You don't have to finish a session and keep all your thoughts to yourself. You can share your experiences and see how other players approach the game.
Another thing I like is the variety of poker-related content you can explore.
You can keep up with poker news, discover tournaments and promotions, read about other players experiences, and pick up useful insights that might help you improve your game.
If you manage of stumble into the website and think of leaving, I'll advise you to stick around for a little while.
Apart from the poker news, there are free poker tournaments every week that can make you a couple of bucks.
There are also bonus codes on different casinos for you to try out.
So many benefits for being part of the community. It's left to you to decide if you want a part of it.
Hi Cardmates,
Hope your all grinding away for the weekend!
Sunday morning I logged into GGPoker, I only had $0.03 in my account.
No luck at the tables the weekend so far.
I only had my daily freebie $0.25 Mystery ticket
Won $1.06 off it
I was back in a $1 Daily Turbo ITM Won a couple of 🤑
My Weekend was alive again
But, as the title said it’s about one pacific hand
My hand of the day, but before I proceed I must apologise to the other party involved in the hand.
If I was him I’d be struggling with this one afterwards. In fact if it wasn’t for the fact his flag was next to his name, the luck involved I would of swore it was moi_🤣
Me: 6♣️6♠️
P2: Q♥️Q♣️
I raised he called then the flop……..
5♣️Q♠️6♥️
P2 raises half his stack
Get in I am thinking I’ve got this!
I go AI…….
The Cards turned and my heart sunk
YOU B@##@##!
The turn comes…….
10♠️
The river…….
6♦️
Oh and what a diamond it was, four of a kind in fact!
I don’t remember doing anyone that bad before and he had slightly more chips than me
The poor soul he must be still fuming 😡
While I doubled up and made the ITM 🚀🥳👊
please Cardmates tell me your thoughts and comments……..

Hi Chris, this is an alarming story. It is definitely not the poker sites responsibility but your friends as a parent!
There is no way I would allow any child in my presence to be online gambling!
You was put in a real awkward position there by your friend who should be more responsible and by the way is breaking the law in doing so!
Momentum building now Disco keep it up!
I thought you was leading into an 888 fish rant until the end 🤣🤣🤣
Seriously I hope your all good now 👊💙
Two and a half days without power, no heat, no light, food ruined no money to replace it, SSEN "sorry all we can do is advise when it will be back on, you have £30 a day allowance, need receipts to reclaim", me that requires money, I have no money, them rinse and repeat. So few days spent making cups of tea on a petrol stove, my mum was wrong when I was a kid, you can live on crisps and biscuits. Daylight hours gathering wood in the gales the 20 year old engineers were too scared to go out in. Rest of time spent boiling water to fill hot water bottles to keep my tropical fish alive, one casualty spotted so far, power came back on an hour ago so tryna make sure the temps don't rise too quickly. Wish my fishes luck! (actual ones not 888 idiots) ;)
Thanks :)
Be good to see you :)
Thanks \m/
So far this is really not going anywhere, Currently sitting on £0.62. Not sure where the 0.01 came from, I think something weird happens with conversion from £ to $. I noticed I lost a penny when I regged then unregged for something last week.....the 10p extra came from the game on Betfair where fruit etc get thrown at you....its a valuable extra 10p per day while it lasts, assuming you don't lose, or play after midnight last night by mistake, therefore missing yesterday actual freebie!!
One thing I've notuced with this is, use a mouse, much easier to hit the 3 at once flying at you!
I got very close in a $1 powerpath won with the daily 0.50 powerpath freebie, after a long heads up I lost after shoving a straight flush draw which didn't come in. That would have gtd me either a ticket or a small win!
I could play a 0.50 game, but I'm holding out for enough to play a $1 MTT. Oh and I do still have the $1.50 Powerpath ticket
Good luck at the tables Cardmates.
Bet you all can't wait for the next thrilling update!! 😆
Great blog mate, really glad you told me to blog the challenge, having great fun doing it, evening tho its been a tough start....
Thankyou Cardmates, 2nd again. Another one in the trophy cabinet………
But that top prize is so close and as this is a Poker inspired forum it would be prevalent to say……..
”I want that top spot”👻congratulations to all Cardmates 🥳👊
