I didnt know this thread was here. All i do is play on pokerstars 24/7. Username is Rattrap9. Poker funds all of my card collection. I know i will play too heavy with my winnings so i buy a bunch of boxes at a time to make sure i get something out of my winnings. I have been playing online for about 7 years, but longer than that in live action. I used to love to go to Tunica and play at the Horseshoe, but I have adapted to Online poker too well now. Real-Time poker is maddeningly slow now. I cant do it anymore. I have had good and bad play in the past month or so, but I have found a strange niche with the $8.80 tournaments that start at 4 pm. I have won 2nd place(about $2800) and 3rd place(about $2300) in the past month. Its great to win those big ones like that because i usually just play sitngos. I just wish I could get 2nd or 3rd in the Big $50 and $100 ones i play in all the time. For some reason I only get that far in the $8 ones. I almost always finish in the money, but I think i still play too conservative in the Higher Dollar Tourneys to ensure that I finish in the $. I have been playing in the Sunday Warm ups for about a year and have yet to have a huge finish, but Its gonna happen soon.

does anyone else use echecks. Anybody else get stung by the Federal bank Freeze on Pokerstars echeck account?

The best way to deposit online is to get a Walmart rechargable card and deposit via the card. You will get a card in the mail in a week or 2 once you pay for it and I have had mine for 2 years now, never a decline.

Started playing on tilt again. Put $100 in Monday and lost it all then put $100 more in turned it into $825 and decided to play the 1:00 super stack tourney $10+1 2781 people entered, I ended up finishing 5th and raking $1433 for that one, took 9 long hours was tough to stay focused but definitely fun, first tourney I ever played I usually stick to Sit n Go's won about $300 more today, so my $200 has turned into $2500 in under a week pretty sweet!
I def need to cash most of it out though. Will cover my tuition and books at community for next semester.

I use to play all the time online but havent played in a couple years... the wife got tired of seeing stuff for it on the bank statement and "suggested" i quit playing. I never won a ton but usually made back more than i lost. I prefer to play live games though...almost impossible for me to read players over the computer.

So many bad beats online too, way more than you would see live.
