Poker

[TOG]

I wasn't sure whether to put this in the lounge or here, but I chose the lounge, and put it here by mistake.

Being someone that's always hungry for opportunities to improve his play, i'm often visiting RGP and other sites to critique hands and see other's critiques as well. I doubt it'll go anywhere, given that this is not a poker forum and only a limited number of us play, but in my boredom I thought it would be worth a shot to try and get a poker topic going for us to discuss hands and such.

So here we are.

I was playing in a freeroll today on Full Tilt. Out of 900 people, I finished 30th.

[TOG]

I can never catch the Full Tilt freerolls these days, but regardless, congrats on a very respectable finish. FTP seems to have more difficult freerolls than most sites, without the ridiculous amount of entrants of Stars, which is why I like them. However, given that as I said I never seem to be on at the right times, I am hoping to get some money in my account soon to play in their real money tournies.

Otherwise, i'll be playing ring games until I manage to get up before noon.

EDIT: You're cuedoctor?

What do you guys normally play on? Lots of easy money on Empirepoker.com. Won about 70 bucks in a middle limit 7-card stud game there.

[TOG]

Yeah? Given that i'm used to freeroll online play, I have had little experience with real money online. Do you know of any sites besides FTP that I won't have a hell of a time winning, but yet i'll have reasonable competition?

EDIT: On a side note, stud is definately not my strongest game. Other than Super System, which i'll have in a day or so, do you know of any good books or sites that cover seven-card stud?

I've won a couple PokerStar cluster fuck Hold 'Ems,

Those were the days =P

I did well in Stars limit tourneys, but I rarely played no limit there on account of finding Full Tilt a month after Stars.

I still play on Full Tilt. I had my bankroll up over $200 and went bust at an Omaha table playing against Andy Bloch.

I had originally won the start of my bankroll ($45) by finishing 5th in one of their early freerolls. I don't really play anymore, but if I do, I play the play money sit and go's, and watch the pros play.

[TOG]

I fucking love Andy, my second favorite pro on that site.

[Psicosis]

I play on Partypoker for free due to being cheap. With that being said, the bank has just over a million in play money.

I played on Party for all of a day, it was before I would have considered real money online, so I was only playing play money and everyone played far too loose. When I play an SNG, I don't want people all in on the first hand.

An EWB series of poker would be awesome.

Once I get my friend who has a credit card to start me a real money account, I'm in.

Which is why I gave up Party about a day in as well.

Played on Champs against Hansen once, the fucker had been bluffing ALL DAY and when I go him it's the one time he has a hand, fucking fucker.

What is the address for Full Tilt if I may ask?

EDIT: Never mind I found it, been playing a few play money hands, just as a argument settler, anyone know Phil Ivey's user name?

I'd be up for it. Am I the only one who plays professionally on here though?

[Lowerdeck]

I have played in RL, just in the underground college dorm room scene.

[TOG]

If you mean professionally in the sense that it's your only source of income and you make a decent living off of it, you probably are.
