My friends have gotten me into it lately and it's a lot of fun. Just got done with a short $1 buyin tournament and placed 2/45 getting me $10. It seems profitable too if you develop skill and strategy. I mean, a friend of mine last weekend placed 68/5500 in a tournament and won $1500.

:D

Towing the party line.
I suck at the poker. I have one friend who is doing it as a job until the bubble bursts. He makes pretty dan good money too for a guy still waist deep in grad school.

Online poker is now illegal in the United States.

Pretty fun way to put a few bucks in your pocket, I guess. I've never tried, maybe someday I will.

I'd be interested. Haven't really played much lately with all the school work I've had, and a few bad beats that pretty much destroyed my bankroll, lol. That would be fun though. :)

Lol. That's probably a good idea. You play on Stars right?

And S.S., it's not that bad. You only play with money you have in a physical account, like a paypal account, but with the poker company. Plus with the new laws it's even harder to put in more money. And on top of that I don't have credit cards or checking accounts being only 18 and having no real use for them, so I play with the little amount I have and if I lose...oh well.

I'm COmtbiker12, but haven't been on in a few weeks. Lately I've just been playing .02/.04 limit tables and .01/.02 NL.

S.S., depends on how big the pot gets but there's a rake on hands which varies depending on the stakes you're playing at. At my low stakes tables it's usually only a few cents depending on how much people bet.

Does the House take anything? Or do you pay a fee to play? It still sounds unbelievably shady to me... :D

well if you play for play money it's costs you nothing. If you play for real money then it depends. There are entry fees, buy ins, etc.

I will usually only play for real money at a casino live. The most real money I played for online was $5 and that won me a $300 poker set :D....D

i play on stars all the time. usually just the sit and go's though. i tend to lose a lot playing the cash games. my handle is Ksyrium. the 4.40 180 person sng's are a lot of fun if you dont get boned by people playing really crappy cards.

not a fan of the playmoney cause who cares if you lose...

I dont play too high stakes online usually under $10.
