I earn more on Cointiply than anywhere else, you can withdraw to BTC and DOGE.
I'd say if you were only going to do one thing this would be it.

Earn via the Hourly Faucet that gives the equivalent of at least 30 Satoshis with the chance to win even more - first with higher numbers and second with prime numbers +1% each day you log in.

Earn via Surveys, the Surveys pay anything from a few coins up to many thousands. The main survey site Theorem Reach even pays 50 coins for surveys you end up not qualifying for. (The maximum I have been paid for a survey so far is 6200 with is around 8000 satoshis currently)

Earn via video - Do the CreatorAday video everyday for 255 coins
Leave Hideout Tv on in the background -5-1000 coins (dependant on time)
https://cutt.ly/HideoutTV - you'll need an account there too - you can also link to other accounts.

Earn via game/app installs.

One notable game to install is King of Avalon 244000 points for reaching Stronghold level 17.
That's $24 for getting to a certain level
I have personally cashed this one, takes a little while but worth it.

Check out Game of Kings for 102000 coins too. Same kind of game.

Another notable game is a Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire which offers 48450 coins; another building game.

There are others I have started like Looney Tunes which offers 35190 coin.

Coinpot is great because although you can claim every 5 minutes - and you'll make more by doing that - it doesn't matter if you don't because they steadily build up overtime - with the only exception being BonusBitcoin which is on a 15 minute timer.

Coinpot offers a steady flow of income in BTC, BCH, LTC, DOGE and DASH, it has it's own wallet that you can fill up from 7 different faucet sites and remains one of the best.BTC - Min withdraw 0.00010000
BCH - Min withdraw 0.00100000
DOGE - Min withdraw 100
LTC - Min withdraw 0.00200000
DASH Min withdraw 0.00200000

Doge and LTC build up the fastest, you can build them all up or convert one lot of tokens to one of the others. You can actually use this site to deposit and convert if so wish.
There are 7 faucets you can use to fill these up:-

https://cutt.ly/MoonDogeCoin
https://cutt.ly/MoonBitCoinCash
https://cutt.ly/MoonDash
https://cutt.ly/MoonBonusBitcoin
https://cutt.ly/BTCBitFun

You earn stars which offer tokens when achieved, there is daily, monthly and all time. There are 5 levels and each level offers 100 coins respectively (Currently valued at 130 Satoshis), it's easy to keep up on these tokens by running the multiplier to earn star achievements each day

You also get 3 tokens every claim.

Once you sign up to each faucet, they will continue to fill until you collect. They fill faster first however so there is incentive to click more often. The exception is BonusBitcoin which you can claim every 15 minutes - but it does have a bonus that it pays out to you daily.

When you click through these you will have to do Recapatchas and a few pop ups may happen.

No Ups, Plenty Down.

There's been some kind of constant effort to play this year but for one reason for another - unrelated to poker - the time had never came. The past few days have been my first entry back into the poker world finally with enough concentration to sit and play but it seems the luck didn't follow. The first four days have been terrible, money wise - spirits wise I'm still good. There's an expectation of loss whenever I plough into the poker world after a long break. Today was my first positive day, mainly because I only played one game but perhaps that has been the problem, diving straight back in to multiple games instead of enjoying one or two games aside each other like it was at the beginning.

There are a few bonuses happening for me right now. I recently tried the trial for Holdem Manager 2 and it's great, so much better than the first in all ways. Problem is, now I want it. So I've signed up to Winner Poker, A site I'd never even heard of before in order to earn enough points to get HM2 for free as is advertised on their site. Got a few tickets free and a bonus to work towards to, the points seem much harder to get than on Full Tilt or Pokerstars however. Over at Titan Poker where I'd always had an account but never deposited a admin flashed up when I was checking on my money in there that I'd won from a free ticket they gave me and she offered me some free tickets and a free $5 to deposit now. Why not I thought, she advise $20 was the minimum but I deposited 20euros by mistake. When I signed on there was another bonus to be earning by playing too, exactly like the Winner Poker as they are both on the same network. Then! Over at Full Tilt they just gave me a random bonus to work towards, I've barely played on there and I'm further through with that bonus than the others and as an added award they come out $2 at a time rather than $5. Anyway, I started with a bankroll of $107 in these four poker sites, Winner, Titan, Full Tilt & Pokerstars and I'm down to $83.59. Now I know it doesn't sound like much but as always I'm sticking to bankroll rules, well for the most, even this small loss can be attributed to bad bankroll management. 

Anyway, I'll keep going till I win or lose my money. 

Once again.

The last few posts have all said the same thing, that l was trying to start playing properly again or at least with consistency. I've started again but perhaps not at peak form. I've tried daily at some MTT's without keeping track which is never good, although l play the same, there's a lack of consequences, like I can just keep going and going, perhaps even entering games outside of my usual bankroll rules.

So I've dusted off the old accounts to keep track of everything once again as it seems to instill a sense of keeping everything right and accurate. I've got a few bonuses going on and I'm aiming to purchase Holdem Manager 2. ln the meantime I'm to trying it out with its 30 day trial and so far I love it, there was anger when it came out as I had only just got HM1 and the price would have been the same.

There's been some STT playing today but not so well, I've been playing on Titan Poker And Winner Poker which are both on the same network and so look the same. I'm struggling with ten people single tables and have only cashed in one out of seven so it's not going so well. Either way I plan to keep going and I'm sure it'll click in eventually

Back again.

There's been some time away from poker for me recently, well as you can see I've tried to come back to it a few times but with limited success. My mind is unfocused and I've been able to concentrate as long as I used to be able to when I was playing for full days. My thought is if I get this going again then maybe I'll start taking that seriously again too.

One thing that seemed to effect my desire to play was moving my accounts from Excel, first to try and let Hold'em Manager handle that for me and then to an App I have on my Android smartphone. Both did the job well but it left me feeling disconnected to the process and more willing to throw my money away. The plan is to set up my excel accounts again and hopefully will make me get too attached to money as I used to be. There was a long time there where I needed to care less about losing but something about me doesn't care anymore which would be good except I care less about winning too, somethings gone but if I can start playing properly again I think I'd be a much better player than before, in more control and hopefully start making some cash.

Adjusting my play.

Ok, so Blogger has changed which confuses me at this hour. Good job I can't remember what it looked like before, so we're all good! Back to the task at hand, which is writing about the experience of poker.

Last time I wrote I said I'd lost the love of the game. Well it's back, turns out I just had to play a few. It took me a little while though but I think my game has returned to some sort of natural equilibrium - like but not the same as my early play - when I hadn't read anything about poker and was just playing how I wanted. I say like because it's not the same, I still have all the knowledge that has slowly soaked into my mind over the years. The months becoming obsessed about a particular part of the game, whether that be position, three betting or push/shoving are now joined together becoming a more three dimensional model to play along with my own style. Often when I learned something new about poker I'd learn it well but then it would take over for a while ruining my game in other areas. A rest from poker has cleared my mind, letting me concentrate and actually think about the game again.

I started playing again ten days ago and in that time I've played 35 tournaments and cashed in only eight. At first I played OK cashing in the fourth and fifth games, coming in at 27/648 and 76/4990 respectively, not cashing again until fifteen games later 886/11946. What seemed to be happening was that when I was running deep I'd get either get a bad beat and lose most of my chips or if that didn't happen I'd mess it up myself by pushing with something stupid. I handled the bad beats and addressed what part of my game wasn't working and played a six seated $1 tournament. I'd made a few mistakes along the way but nothing major, tried to avoid situations where I was flipping for my chips and folded some good hands if I thought I could find a better spot, then after hours of play, I'm 9th out of nine left, I check the chips and I have around 400,000 as does the 8th player, after that everyone had around a million chips and instead of thinking what I was about to do when it folded round to me on the button I pushed all-in with J3os getting called by 44. I believe this was unnecessary even with only around 10 big blinds left, a better spot could of been found. Either way I shall learn from it - it's just the worst feeling when it's your own fault. In the end I won $46 which is $46x the entry fee so it isn't too bad I guess. It puts my current Pokerstars bankroll up to $145.92 along with $72 I have in PKR from a free ticket they gave me, finishing 19/2589.

My brain has stopped now, so I shall stop typing, I'm disappointed in my last move but pleased with how I played the rest of the game so I'll just have to take from that what I can.

Setting up.

Over the last few months poker hasn't came into my mind much, witch uncertainty all around me I found it hard to concentrate on poker - working best when I can get into some sort of routine. I cashed in a couple of tournaments here and there, being as they were the only ones I played for some time I was more than pleased about that.

The love for poker is gone right now but it has gotten rid of any bad feelings that would undoubtedly take over whenever I lost. Now I can view it with a more logical view rather than an emotional one. The problem with this however is that I find it hard to get motivated, to get back into the game.

I've spent the last few hours setting up Holdem Manager again but something tells me I'm not using it right, trying to look at other peoples HUD stats has been a failure and I found myself shouting about wanting some kind of manual. I also want to look at my leaks but have yet to utilise that feature either. Either way, my interest needs to be stirred somehow if only to slot it in to a some kind of routine. 

I didn't have anything particular to say in this entry instead just looking to use the blog again too and this is the first step. 

Calm.

It has become harder to play right now because my mind has changed. Once again I am focusing on other hobbies such as writing and drawing leaving Poker at the sidelines. Nine tabling has not been very profitable for me and the only reason it became so was because of the sign up bonus it came along with. This of course was always part of the plan but I had hoped that my ROI (Return on Investment) would have increased by now. I did however come 8^th out 3500 in my first tournament for a while; Leaving with $40 minus the $1 entry fee. Top prize was $500 however and even the next two places were $75 and $140. I missed out a nice amount of money but it’s to be expected to happen from time to time... or usually... or ...most times.

Rage was always a problem for me when playing poker but playing nine tables at a time has taking all the emotion away and instilled a robotic voice in my head. In the past I’d only play one or two tables at a time and it would really get to me when I lost two, three or four in a row. It would extend the loss to last for the maximum time. In contrast to now when I feel as if I’ve become a bit too blasé about risking it all, with the idea of push/fold equity gone overboard in my brain; pushing with hands that I never would of in the past. Back then I’d care if I got knocked out, but now I’m just left wondering why it matters when I have eight other tables going and I’m bound to cash in someof them. Three is the minimum to make my money back and  that usually happens. I feel as though some of the magic was taken away, I always enjoyed played the game and now it’s become something else to maximise profit, which I suppose was always the goal. I’ve got no doubt I’ll get into the game once more but for now I seem to have calmed down and lost my passion, the sad thing is that I think it’s what I’ve wanted all along to become a better player. It’s like anything in life, if you want to be good at it you have to do it over and over and over again until it takes any sort of enjoyment out of it and you’d rather do anything else than that.
