7/9 I just read an NYT story about playing poker on the web. anyone know of a "reputable" casino for low-rollers? yahoo games aint cuttin it. \_ Yeah I run a game. You start by transfering $500 into my paypal account and I'll get back to you. \_ Just go to one of the card rooms. There are many in the Bay Area. I think you are nuts to trust an on-line casino based in someplace like Trinidad-Tobago, but if you really want to throw your money away goferit. Perhaps you should open an account with E*Trade and daytrade penny stocks. -ausman \_ Can you imagine being a software engineer for such a casino: "Eh, can you create a 'difficulty' setting ... if I increase the difficulty, the players have a harder time earning money..." \_ what the fuck are you talking about \_ Bot casino. Very thin ice and begging for a lawsuit. \_ Try suing. You'll get further spending your money hiring a mercenary hit squad. They aren't in this country you wanker. \_ did you read the NYT article? i guess a lot of "pros" have switched to playing online... this year's Poker World Champion had never played in the poker-circuit and came in and won $2.5M. they made an analogy to a Japanese "rookie" who came from Japan after playing there for several years. -op the time charges will eat into our bankroll. \_ Actually a bad analogy. There is a luck element to the game. You can't fight good cards. There are so many field players at WSOP, it's much much harder for the pros to win it. \_ http://pokerstars.com, http://partypoker.com, http://ultimatebet.com, and http://paradisepoker.com are all fine. Very low limits if you want to play ($.25-$.50). The problem being that people are willing to lose $1 on a longshot, so you get a case of "no-fold-em" poker. Live action in the Bay Area, lowest limits are at the Oaks, but the time charges will eat into your bankroll. \_ No fold em is great. That is how you make money, by taking it from suckers. Maybe I will have to try this out. \_ It also means your variance increases and using "correct" play may leave you frustrated. |

We have decided to give three more players a chance to play in the World Series of Poker $10,000 event for FREE. With as few as 60 Frequent Player Points you can be on your way to the World Series of Poker. On May 16th, at 2:00PM Eastern Time, we'll be running a 6,000 FPP buy-in satellite. The final three players will receive full WSOP packages, including a seat in the $10K buy-in final event, $1,000 cash, and free hotel accommodations. We're running 60 FPP and 600 FPP satellites daily until the 16th, so don't miss out on your final chance to freeroll PokerStars for a WSOP seat! A 'shootout' is a special tournament in which you must win a series of single-table tournaments to win the event. In a Double Shootout, you must win two single table tournaments to win the event - in a Triple Shootout it takes three. You can play in a WSOP Double Shootout tournament at: 2:00PM (every day except Sunday), 7:00PM, 9:15PM, and 1:05AM Eastern Time. The tournaments will be setup for 81 players to participate and a WSOP prize package will be guaranteed if at least 74 players enter. First, each nine-person table in the tournament plays down to one winner. Then, the winners of each table are combined into a nine-person final table that competes to win the event. The Triple Shootout tournaments will take the place of the 1:05AM Double Shootouts on Wednesday, May 12th and Friday, May 14th. These two special events will have a maximum of 64 players and, if full, will guarantee one WSOP prize package to the winner. For these tournaments, 16 tables of four will begin with a buy-in of $180 + $10. Then four tables of four (the 16 first round winners) will play to determine the final four players who will compete at the final table for the WSOP seat. Basically, you'll need to beat just three other players at three different tables to win the event. |
