[RedGoneWILD]

not bad....i haven't been on pokerstars in forever...i was in one of those freerolls one night and finished 3rd, but it took like 6 hours....ugh

i used to play a lot of poker 3 or 4 years ago wherever i could find a game, but it's been a while...nobody wants to play with me anyway...they end up losing all their money

[JesRey]

do you make money? lol

Well next round i am going for a pot of $2,000 so if i do amazing in the next tournament i will win some real money.

The best I've done in a tourney on Poker Stars is something like 30th...don't play near as much as I used to though. Congrats on the win and good luck on the next round!

[JesRey]

Thanks, i just have to wait to find a tourney that starts when i can make it lol

Nice job winning the freeroll. I play a little online, but prefer the live game much better.

We have a decent sized group that plays a 10 game season (we cap each game at 30 players and usually have 25ish). You accumulate points depending on how you finish each game and there's a playoff game withe the top 9 players. We take $5 from each game to fund the final championship table. I've made it the last two seasons but haven't faired very well in those games.

Yeah i love live poker better as well. But the closest Indian casino to me like like an hour and a half away :( Not worth the gas lol


I just had a Poker Summer League. We had 8 players with $25 buy-in for a 10 game session. I won the league, but i ended up tied for 1st place so we had to play heads up, and he got a 6 to 1 chip lead on me, but i came back and won
