Admittedly, it was not that difficult to cash in the Ladbrokes freeroll, and the sums involved were not exactly, well, big, but better to play small and win than play big and lose. Of course, if you play for free, you can’t lose even if you don’t win.

[The above article was published originally as a blog with 5 screengrabs on August 16, 2012; 4 of them are reproduced here; one has been lost forever; it was a screengrab from a freeroll on Ladbrokes, probably of either my final hand or of the amount I won. For the record I finished 123rd of 1,452 runners winning €.24 of the €200.00 prize pool. The caption of the first screengrab has been corrected from aces full to aces up. This article is not to be confused with A good night on the tables at Party Poker.]
