Texas Hold'em

i was just curious to see how many, if any, dwellers played on partypoker.com or a similar site......

SteveDallas · 12-17-2004, 09:13 PM

Yeah, I do. I'm currently playing the $0.50/$1.00 limit game at Empire, after starting with $25 and working my way up through the smaller micro-limits at other sites.

I do, but I prefer stud poker. I just can't stand Hold'em. What annoys me is that it is the only variety of poker on Yahoo games.

I play at the play money tables. Playing for real money requires me to actually look people in the eye.

Besides, I know playing online poker for real money is illegal, probably a felony.

Rho plays for fun on one of the sites out there...not sure which one.

I just lost $4 in nickel-dime-quarter dealer-calls poker.

mrnoodle · 12-17-2004, 11:02 PM

I play on ultimatebet.com, partypoker.com and paradisepoker.com

paradise was the first one i started with, but the freeroll tourneys at UB and partypoker are cooler. plus, annie duke and antonio the magic guy from WPT have tables at UB. I play $4-8 and lower only, and only give myself $150 or so every few months to play with. Can't believe the amount of money people are putting up at those sites.

Rich, you should go to ultimatebet.com or paradisepoker.com. They both have play money 7-card stud.

I used to play on empirepoker but I play now on partypoker. There always seems to be room at the play money tables.

yeah, i limit myself to $50 a month. i usually will play the $5/1 tournaments. every now and then i'll go to a $25 max buy-in table.

the amount of $$ some people play is outrageous!

i'll go watch some of those high dollar tables and watch people win pots that would equal a month or two of my salary! that's just crazy!

Ah I'm on Paradise Poker now. I like the sound effects better on this site (and the graphics too).

Next up: ultimatebet.com

UB is my favorite for the software but the games are very tight compared to many other sites.

Paradise has a black smoke video effect that wipes your chips out when you bust out of a tournament!! Overall a good site. I spent a lot of time there working up through the .10/.20 and .25/.50 limits (they're the only one of the biggest sites that offers .10/.20).

I'm currently having a bit of trouble adjusting to the extremely wild play at Party/Empire, but it's getting there.

SteveDallas · 01-08-2005, 08:23 PM

So, anybody up for a friendly Cellar poker game at one of the play money tables?

SteveDallas · 01-08-2005, 09:01 PM

I'm flexible--wherever we can get a crowd together.
