TukTuk Poker Model - 1st $200 Freeroll
Hi,
I have been thinking for a while now in a way to give you back even more of the money we have generated from the tuktuk poker model and I decided that I want to organize my first $200 freeroll to all those who register through me on pokerstrategy.
I have 2 questions for you:
1 - In which poker site - Pokerstars, Party Poker, Titan Poker, Mansion Poker, Full Tilt - would you like the freeroll to take place?
2 - Which day/time of the week would be more convenient for you?
I would like to receive a quick message from you either as a comment to this post or to my email and after that I will organize the freeroll in the most convenient date/time and site.
Thank you and best regards,
Tuk

More than $10000 for free to play poker online
Hello!
I have to pleasure to annouce that today we have passed the $10000 mark more precisely with my blog and the tuktuk poker model we have released $10170 - free money to play poker online across multiple countries:
When I started this back in April - 8 months ago - I never thought that it could get to where we are today so I fell proud of myself and of course I have to say thank you to you all who believed in me to register on pokerstrategy using my blog and my concept.
The question now is at is the next level? $100,000? What do I need to do to get there? How could I be more effective? Does it make sense to continue under pokerstrategy or should I go direct to the poker rooms? A lot of questions in my head... Time for a brainstorm session with you! Send me your ideas and let me know if you would like to join the team (= me) :)
I will be posting soon as the 3rd place for my top 10 competition is almost there but I want to leave the suspense open as there are a few players almost there!
All the best,
Tuk

Travelling in China!
Hi,
I'm at this moment travelling through China and I have to say... What a beautiful country!
I also only now realized that if you want to play Poker live in China you need to go to Macau as gambling is not allowed. But you can still play online in some poker platforms like PokerStars and Mansion Poker (and that's what I have been doing when I get some time for that :)
I finally had some time to quickly review the situation of my promotions and update my blog:
1 - The 10000 hands promotion
I have checked my email and for my big disappointment I didn't receive any reply from those who registered on this promotion, until today (10 days after the deadline). That's really bad and now I'm trying to understand what went wrong...
Was the target of 10000 hands to high for the period of time defined? I mean I did it but I also played several tables at the same time as I have already some experience but maybe for a beginner that's something you definitely don't do so basically if you play 1 table, lets say on average 40 hands per hour that actually means you would have to play about 8 hours every day... a little bit to much! So I need to rethink this promotion and create something that can be a challenging but realistic. If poker is a hobby for most of us then lets say you can play 2 hour per day during the weekdays and 3 hours on the weekend days. Also assuming that you can play 2 tables at the same time (otherwise I think that even for beginners poker online will be to slow) then to be able to play 10000 hands you would need 2 months!
Another reason could be the fact that beginners will not have immediate access to download poker elephant and/or they dont know or where can they get their poker hands. A quick explanation - for the poker hands in most of the sites they will be stored in a folder inside the place where you have installed the software. As 1 example for PokerStars my hands are saved in C:\Program Files\PokerStars\HandHistory, for Party Poker in C:\Program Files\PartyGaming\PartyPoker\HandHistory, etc..
So if this is the problem and the reason why you didn't send me your statistics just send me a quick email and I will reconsider your results. I will be able to upload them on poker elephant I create your graph and see your result.
Could it be because I'm locking the promotion to a specific type limit and type of game i.e. just because I play no limit holdem doesn't mean that the other also want to play that... And maybe I should use a different measurement like BB/100 i.e. how many big blinds you generated per each 100 hands. Then everyone could play at any limit and type of game.
Could it be lack of trust? I still have the feeling that most people that read my posts in forums and in the poker rooms don't trust me or don't believe in what I'm doing... I have no clue how to change that...
So I'm thinking that when I'm back home I will probably relaunch this promotion but on a different format. Please feel free to send me your comments and suggestions to make the next 10000 hands promotion a successful one!
The 10000 hands promotion is now officially closed and unfortunately I have no results or winners to announce. The money will be reused for the next one.
2 - Total amount released by the TukTuk Poker Model = $9830
I made a small change on the table and Im also now including the money I keep from promoting this, following my value of transparency. I dont want people to think that I do this just for fun... Well I do but I also do this because I can get some money to play or to reinvest in creating promotions like the 10000 hands. Im also thinking in creating a freeroll for all those who register with me, but more of that in my next post.
Here is the latest table of statistics:
This past weeks the competition is being more exciting than ever. 3 players are closing the gap to the 5000 strategypoint mark - "Souza89" with 3951 strategypoints went from 4th to 2nd passing both "eudodo" with 3827 strategypoints and "vinstayl" with 3282 strategypoints. Im sure pretty soon I will be contacting them for a quick interview :)
Just for your clarification in case you are playing in different platforms and pokerstrategy takes 1 or more days the points I lock the points to a specifc day and cross checked with the other players until they get their points updated. The player with higher number of startegypoints wins.
Here is the latest table with all the ranking:
Well thats it for today, time to go out of the hotel for a Tsingtao (chinese beer!)

10000 hands!!! Profit of $48.45 :)
Hi,
I have reached my goal of 10000 hands (in fact I have played 10212 hands) and I manage to be profitable in the end. From my initial capital received from pokerstrategy.com of $50 Im now up with $98.45. Here is the latest graph:
My best and worst hands didnt change from my last post which probably also means that my game improved and I have not being exposing my bankroll as before.
You still have 2 weeks to register on the competition and send me your 10000 hands. Remember that the most profitable player will get $80!!!
I hope Í can start receiving your results to publish them on my blog soon!

I have generated $44.87 in rake and created 123 pokerstrategy points (still missing 1 day update of 1250 hands)
So far Im not being able to go to green and stay on green. Im also testing a few diferent ways of playing and that might be the reason for this "bad" results... I should have stick to the pokerstrategy suggestion of the Short Stack Strategy.
All in all apart from the fact that Ive been able to generate enough party points to join Party Poker promotional 50K tournament next Saturday everything else is being just boring... I might need to continue after the 10000 hands to see if I can present a nice upward trend graph :)

The TukTuk Poker Model continues to release free poker money - $7997.50!
Thats it for today! As you now Im also running a competition to see whos the most profitable player in 10000 hands and I will soon post another update of my own performance!
See you soon!
Are you an IT expert? Do you want to work for pokerstrategy?
Hello!
Pokerstrategy.com is looking for IT experts to join their team, more specifically they are looking for a web designer, web developer or system administrator. If you would like to read more have a look to this link.
Why am I spreading the word?
Well pokerstrategy is giving $5000 to those who manage to successfully refer a person to fill in the IT positions and $1000 for any other position, so I will be using the same principle of the tuktuk poker model i.e. if you get a job and tell pokerstrategy that you become aware of this opportunity because of me - tuktukbkk - then I will give you back 50% of the referral money - $2500 or $500 depending on the position you fill in!
If you are looking for a job within the poker industry this might be the one you are looking for!
Good luck with your job interview!

Not exactly the best way to start: -$11,33 :(
Hello,
As you know the competition to see who is the most profitable player in 10000 hands started yesterday. I have posted this on pokerstrategy.com in different forums and the feedback and support received so far is great! Thank you!
Before jumping into my own results I would like to make note of two important details:
1 - The competition will be running until the 8th of October and during this period of time you can always join as long as you able to provide the 10000 hands for the final result.
2 - During this period of time you can play as many hands as you like and you can pick the best 10000 consecutive hands to be presented for the final result.
As you know I will be testing this concept on my own and I have played the first hands yesterday in Party Poker - what a bad start... I lost $11,33 in 773 hands played.
I played 6 tables at the same time applying the pokerstrategy short stack strategy and for a period of 2 hours.

Moving to a new apartment!
Hello again! Sorry for these lack of posts but my life is being under a big change and I have moved to a new apartment. With so many things to do (work, move, family, etc.) something had to be left aside and that was unfortunatelly my blog. But now Im back and hopefully to be able to post at least once a week with the updates and all the statistics and news of this initiative.
One of the most interesting things that happened during this time was to receive positive feedback and support to continue by one of the pokerstrategy forum moderators - thunderbird56 - to my blog. Read it here. That really makes me motivated to continue with my idea - I call it now the tuktuk poker model :)
Not sure if you usually see them (as they dont show in the main page) but I have received a few comments that really make me happy like for example the one from Garry.
I have also received a request from 1 fan to use my tuktuk poker model but for another site - pokerprofessor - and I have give him the ok to go. Here stays the link to his blog - http://poker250.blogspot.com/ - in case you are interested.
Its really nice to see that this is moving in the right direction and the more we are the more free poker money will be available to play!
Now the updated statistics and a few more payments made by me.
The top 10 promotion - there are still 2 places to be paid the full amount - $250!
The overall statistics of this initiative - Untill now $6995 have been released to play poker for free:
Payments confirmation - CCO, g4rry, CalimeRhum and AngleSh00ter have contacted me and they have receive the money I give back from the refer a friend, as per my step by step guide:
All the best,

The release of free money continues - $5375
I would like to highlight the fact that we have now released a total of $5375 from the poker industry and that money is out there available on the tables for those who truly master the game!
Also on the promotion Im running there is still a long way to go for "voyporustedes" and "nelinha" which means that if you are just starting you still have a chance to get the total referal money back ending up with a total of $250!
Another interesting statistic is the one on the end of the blog - the number of unique visitors! Looks like soon I will reach the first 5000 unique visitors which in 4 months is really good.
Keep on playing and spread the word - the best place to start playing poker with free money is here :)
Best regards,
Tuk

Interview with "samiow"
Hi,
I manage to contact "samiow" our first winner of the top 10 promotion we are running and I have asked him a few questions:
Tuk: If possible give us a short description of you and your poker career?
samiow: I was taught when i was a boy to play 7 card stud and used to win pennies off my friends and always enjoyed it. About 4 years ago I started playing on the internet on Pacific poker and would go up and down sometimes spinning up a nice lot of cash sometimes going broke.Last year I started playing live and thats when I signed up to the hendon mob forum.
Tuk: How did you find tuktukbkk.blogspot.com?
samiow: You posted about your offer on the hendon mob forum and although I was suspicious, because it sounded too good to be true, I checked it out anyways.
Tuk: What made you register?
samiow: After reading your blog and checking out the pokerstrategy website I was happy to give it a go as all my details are kept safe, I received the money as expected and got lots of updates from you and were sent my extra $$ on whatever site I wanted, was really impressed!
Tuk: What do you think of this "tuktukbkk" model of giving back the TAF (Tell-a-friend) money?
samiow: It sounds too good to be true! But it isn't , I hope everyone registers with you after reading the blog, they should do..
Tuk: To whom would you suggest this type of model?
samiow: Absolutely EVERYONE wanting to try out poker - you have nothing at all to lose. There is no risk and its all reward, Join ffs!Tuk: Anything special message you would like to leave for those who are still in doubt that this is for real and it works?
samiow: It is 100% genuine, you receive your 50$ usually in 2 working days and tuktuk sends you the bonuses within the same week you have earned them. A completely legitimate website/service, Thanks tuktuk!
Tuk: And any hints/tips you would like to leave for those still running towards the 5000 StrategyPoints mark?
samiow: Don't tilt, look for the fish, Play your best, Good luck!
It was a pleasure to interview "samiow" and I hope that I can soon interview again those who reach the 2nd and 3rd place.
Keep on playing and see you soon!
Monday, July 7, 2008
And we have a winner - the 1st 250$ go to "samiow"!
"samiow" also recently won $7,381.50 with the first place in a $35k GTD on Titan and you can read his interview here. Congratulations "samiow"!
For 1 of my future posts I will try to get hold of "samiow" and ask him a few questions about the entire process of getting up to the 5000 StrategyPoints mark and you might get some tips/hints on how to get there faster!
In terms of statistics the fact that Ive been on holidays did not meant that things are slowing down. "Au contraire" we keep on increasing the amount of free money available to play and we have now reached the nice amount of $3705 as you can see below:
