Page 1 of Reviewer Poker Players

I love poker (played at the Rio during this years wsop during my wanderings in states) but mainly play online at Stan James, knowing how big the game is now I just wondered how many here played, where they played online and if any played in any of the new pub leagues that have sprung up lately, if they do could u give us a review, why they play there, pros and cons, whats particularly good about them (freerolls etc?)

Cheers

ADDED THIS AFTER READING POSTS. IF U USE ONLINE SITE PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW MANY FREEROLLS THEY HAVE PLEASE AND WHAT FREE OFFERS ETC :)

For those who use Facebook, there is a `Texas Hold `Em` Poker application. I play that a lot.

Never bet with real money though.

Not at all being funny but if u dont play with real money it aint poker lol ;)

A bit like if you don`t play in a real league it`s not real football :p

I play on a sunday night in a Redtooth pub league. It`s not for money and that is a good job as I am s***e. Fowler9 plays with us and a few weeks ago he won the regional final and is now through to the national finals. "The Face" as we call his is quite good.

Care in the football community is proved not to work.


It`s not easy being different. It`s not easy being cool....but somehow I manage....

Nothing like it actually, try playing poker with ur own money and raising with semi decent hand, sometimes u will, most times u wont, if ur playing with chips with no value u will raise every time coz, well basically it dont matter.

For me poker is a joy and I spend more time playing that than pretty much any other pastime at the moment, and to get me away from my dvd`s and footie is a hard hard job :)

I like playing Poker but don`t have anyone to play with :(

Not played much at all, was on the Betfair free rooms (same equivalent of Facebook) but it`s not good training/preperation for real games as people just go all in with half decent hands so you don`t get a real feel for the game.

Played a few times for money on Betfair but about 3times I got absolutly screwed when I had a really good hand but then some bastard would pull out something awesome >:(

Hint from my mates who play online, if you are going to, do it on a Friday/Saturday night after 10. You get all the p***heads on, so you can take advantage ;)



My DVD collection

I am not the greatest poker player out there, but I enjoy a game online. When I worked for Betfair it was actually encouraged (freeplay, not real money) to gain further knowledge of the poker app.

I believe you can set up a private room in Betfair if anyone wants to each chip a tenner in for a winner takes all tourny one night?

I play a bit, both online and in the real world. I am a member at Gutshot Poker Club in London, and play there regularly - Its a great venue with a nice bunch of people. Also play with their online software, and with paddy power poker too.

Thing I enjoy about stans poker is the amount of freerolls, got one at 6am 945am 1pm, 6pm, 730pm, 930pm 1230am, 300am mostly texas hold em but got 5 card and omaha also, pretty good money sometimes and had freeroll for Barca EPT (other half won one and got to final table, knocking me out in process!!) but now u need to play so many raked hands and they changed how much needs to be in pot too which sux but generally is the best for freeroll iv found

Used to play - and lose - with my own money quite a bit online!
Now I`m currently using a free £6 I got from Victor Chandler.
I only play the cheapest sit-and-gos, but as they are 10c (6p) each and I`ve played over 200 tournaments with still over a quarter of my money left I reckon I`m doing OK. Lots of fun for no outlay!
