I play @ PokerStars.com...usta play @ PartyPoker.com till it stopped serving US players. I play 2/4 - 10/20 limit holdem, $.50/$1-$2/$4 Pot Limit Omaha, and no limit hold em tournies (SNGs, MTTs, Satelites). I've played as high as $100/$200 limit but that was a long time ago...I made $1k into $15k then lost it all [sm=headbang.gif]...now I'm a much better player and take the game a lot more seriously. I occationaly go to Atlantic City and play 1/2 NLHE and 5/10limit @ the Trump Taj. Poker and riding are my 2 biggest passions in life.
What do you guys play?

 

I used to play at royal vegas poker, but i heard its illegal to gamble online in the US now and they are arresting people like crazy, so screw that. I never made as much as you, but i would win a bill or so in a hand, only to lose it on some stupid hand.

 

ONLINE POKER IS ABSOLUTELY NOT ILLEGAL IN THE UNITED STATES!!!! Read here if you don't beleive me: http://www.cardplayer.com/poker-law/article/1446
They just made it illegal for you to fund your online poker account thru US banks. Here are a bunch of articles about it: http://www.cardplayer.com/poker-law

And btw no one has EVER been arrested for playing online poker!http://meetingthesinlaws.blogspot.co...ng-online.html. So you don't have to worry...get back on and play if you want to, its ok dont be scurred. Shuffle up and deal.

 

pokerstars...i used to be crazy about it, bringing as much as $1000 to a $10/20 no limit table...(thats actually how i paid for my f3...the Ace of heartsJack of hearts on the right was the hand that pushed me to $3000)i dont do that anymore because i dont trust the program anymore...i cant tell you how many times i've lost$400 or more (in the same day!)with a set of Aces, by some donk who'll catch runner runner for his straight or flush...now i just put in $25 every now and then and play at lower limit sit and go's...my sn is tamayo85...im just like you 2QK4U2C...poker is the love of my life, then comes riding (a VERY close second)did you stay up and listen to the main event final table streaming audio??? i finally got in bed at 6:30 this morning because of it!

 

I used to play a whole lot on VIP Poker and PartyPoker...But I cashed out a couple hundred a few times but I thought it was illegal now too... Imean I know online poker isnt illegal but funding an account is...i dunno how to get around it...but I go to the casinos alot now....Eastern Oklahoma is where I go...they have like 20+ casinos in East Oklahoma...I only went like 3 times back in may but then I had to come home for the summer...when i go back to college, were gonna go like once a week...I love poker as well...except Ive gone through some ****TY streaks....last of 06 and first of this year, I was on like a 2 month no cashing streak in home games...it sucked...i havent played in a couple months cause I been really busy workin 2 jobs but Im bout to get back into it when i go back to school in like a month

 

I ALSO paid for 100% of my 2000 F4 with poker winnings lol...I stayed up till like 2:30 till it was down to 4 handed and just couldn't stay awake any longer..I'm very upset that such a donkey won...but at least hes not a d*ck like Jamie Gold. I waned that russian guy Alex to win when it was down to 4 handed...I hope Yang (even tho he sux) is a good ambassador to poker like Raymer and Hachem were! Poker and riding are pretty much tied in my life. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE both of them.

dwalker4907--->funding your account isn't illegal...you cant fund it directly w/ a us bank account even if u try...you can use a 3rd party such as epassporte. I actually use Western Union (1 hr)and Money Gram (10 min)...its easy,extremily fast, and that expensive. For all you people under the misconception that its illegal toplay poker for real money online in the US please read the links I posted above and go research it for yourself. It's not...you're not gonna get into any trouble! You can find a list of US friendly sites here: http://www.cardplayer.com/online-poker/rooms

PokerStars.com and FullTiltPoker.com are the 2 biggest...I play @ Stars. Also, most every site (including these 2) have micro-stakes tables (VERY small limits like 1cent/2cent no limit and 2cent/4cent limit hold em) so you really don't have to risk much to play...you can deposit like 30 bux and that'll last u forever playing microstakes.

 

Play alot... used to live in Oklahoma then Tahoe sooo ... easy access to casinos.. but now im in NY and play Pokerstars and BODOG.. Okiepoker13 on PS.. and Youngandlucky on BODOG... look me up come play!

 

well ill be damned, guess i can go start back up with my few dollars i have left in my account,

 

I think a friend told me about that new law one time...I think he said its legal to play poker and legal to fund the account, you just cant make a withdraw from a gambling site to bank account...in other words, you can put money on and play with it legally, you just cant ever cash out.... at least, thats the way it is in Arkansas I think

 

I used to play on PartyPoker, but since it's closed to US players I've only been playing in live games. I set up an account on Ultimate Bet, but none of my credit cards, including my debit card, are able to put money into the account. I could send them a money order, but I'm too lazy to do that.
I have a friend that plays professionally online... maybe I should give him some cash and ask him to transfer some of his balance into my account. If I ever get it up and running, my Ultimate Bet screen name is AyeHateAces.
