Any poker players here?

I can't play the money games at all.  I tried to put in $50 a couple years ago, and it said my credit card had a restriction on it regarding internet gambling.  So, only play money tables for me, unfortunately.  It blows.

I did get a $5 loan on there from a friend about a year ago.  I played the penny tables with it, got up to $10, and paid him back.  Lost the $5 profit over the next week.

If you set up a neteller account you can deposit money directly from your bank account (or check I believe) into your neteller account and then "buy chips" from poker stars.  Works a lot like PayPal if i'm not mistaken (never used paypal).

Hey, theres 2 people that play on PokerStars here so far. Maybe if we can get like 6-7 more, I can set up one of those private tourneys. I dont know how much the minimum buy in is for those though, but that would be pretty cool

That's be awesome.  I would love to take your money! 

hehe just kidding.  That would be fun though.

I had a game last night. 9 people with a ?10 buy in each.

What I did was play nothing, no hands until I went under what I started with chipwise. Then I played a good hand to get back to the 4 rows.

I'm a pretty shit player but I got 3rd and ?20 out of it

I used to play a lot online.  Only ever played online for money for a period of about 2 weeks.  Once the $50 was gone, that was it.  I don't see how I built up to $8 million play money, but lose when playing with REAL money.  When I play, I use Empire Poker which is part of Party Poker, I guess.     I don't play much anymore.  Guess I burned out on it.

I played on Poker Stars for a while until I updated the program and my virus protection found spyware in it.  So, no more of that one. 

It's fun...or it used to be.  The last few times I've played online, the tables were just too big.  I don't like to sit at a table with more than 5 people.  Plus, like someone else said...play money...everybody calls everything and bets on everything.

Yeah play money is aweful!

yeah, empire poker is the exact same format as party poker but run on a different server, so there are different people. Last time I checked it was alot smaller than party poker.. i dont why that exists. There are some formats where Ive seen like 10 different sites on the same server, its pretty weird. I used to play this 10,000 person free weekly tournament run together with like 10 sites, that was always fun for a rainy day

I quit playing no-limit hold 'em online for the most part just because of the douchebags that call everything and play with rags.  Usually there are fewer of those types in the other games (especially HORSE-- you need to know your shit to play that successfully).

HORSE is a fantastic game. I like Omaha Hi/Lo Limit the best.
