Default What to do with $10 free from empire?

i'm not currently playing at PP. i received an email from empire offering me $10 bucks free for just logging in and playing 250 raked hands. lol, i refuse to deposit money to play with just to 'earn' that 10 bucks. but, i feel i should log in and spend it.

i don't play no-limit. could i just log into a .5/1 table and sit there like a rock till i'm dealt a monster and go all-in till it's gone or untill i have enough funds to play some limit 6-max?

You can drop 10 bets pretty easily.

You could also get lucky and never go -10BB total.

Probably have just as good of a shot not going broke at limit as NL /shrug

sounds like you don't have any real good options.
Play very tight and very agressive. Good Luck.

or... wait for a good Ace or pocket pair playing $25 NL (6 max) and go all in.

Fold pre-flop.

seriously, it's $10. i'll pay you $10 to do something way easier than 250 raked hands, and it'll be funny, too.

GAMBOOOL! Who cares, it's found money? I would probably just play .5/1 6max. $25 NL is better for trying to double sticky bonuses that let you can cash out excess before the raked hands are cleared.

give 25 NL 10 max a try

i turned my free $10 into about 2k in a month.

play AK and PPs only till you get up to about $100, then mix in suited connectors and broadways in LP.
