Online Poker Tournaments

[Lowerdeck]

Last night I was playing in the 3 am tourney. Out of 4960, I finish 3014. This is about 25 minutes.

I was bluffing a lot more than I usually did. Started playing a bunch of hands very strange.

I just started playing and I guess I've had begin' luck or something because I'm doing great.

Dealer: Game #525626689: YogiMike wins pot (3940) with a pair of Sevens

Now that's a fluke, it has to be.

Last night I saw people win huge sums with high card ace. Something like 7k a couple of times. I think one hand got up to like 20k.

EDIT: On 5/10 tables no less.

I'm on Pokerstars as Spyd3r, I've finished in the top 500 a few times in the free roll's and I've played in a few real money tournaments. I'm also up about 110k in play money. I'm on right now if anyone feels like playing.

Just download PokerStars and it's simple. The game tells you what you have and such, you'll pick up on it damn quick. I never really played before today and I'm doing, well I'm doing.

Me, I am GregTheCool.

I just started on Pokerstars, what is a freeroll? And is there a way to play a tourney for play money?

[Lowerdeck]

You sort of answered your own question without realizing it.

Freeroll = play money tourney

Do you get real money credits or something?

I am catching cards this is sweet.

[Lowerdeck]

Let's see.

In a freeroll, you would need to be in the top 9 (make the final table) to get put in a special tourney of other final table people. In this tourney, if you make the final table you get real money.

It's pretty difficult to accomplish.

Definetly. Out of 5000+, I got 2637th place this afternoon. Things were looking up, then I got top two pair with big slick and someone else caught a set of tens. Ooh, it was awful.

[Lowerdeck]

I'm just playing on a regular PokerStars play money table. Someone on the table I'm at got a Royal Flush. Then two hands later, four 3's.

Wowzas, that's good.

I got a Royal Flush in April (also on Stars), so this is the second one I've seen.

After much debate, I feel this is better suited in Entertainment.

[Guest EriKBN]

I play on cardplayers.com , which I guess nobody on here cares for. but whatever. I've only played in two 2500 person freerolls, and I got mauled in the first one, gettin 1856th or something when my straight got beat by a flush. Then I did a lot better getting 650th, even though I got drawn out on twice by the same guy on the river...

[Greg The Smooth]

Did anyone else play in tonights 7 card stud freeroll?

I got 163rd out of 4000, losing one hand before the third break.

[joker]

I would of if I knew there was one. I'll be in the 3am NL freeroll.

Is anyone playing the limit Omaha Freeroll? This is my first real Omaha tourney, I've played cash games of it with my friends, but tourney is completely different.

I'm getting raped right now, I'll stick to stud and Texas.
