Anyone play poker online or anything?

I've been playing for a while on William Hill and was just wondering if anyone else does.

Where is this casino?

In my last 5 tournies on William Hill, I have won 3 of them and finished 3rd in the other 2, not too bad going really.

Going to join a casino tonight as there's a tourney tomorrow, only £5 buy-in and there are a few of us going, so should be good. My brother went yesterday, he plays (and wins) quite a lot on the internet, but this was his first live game. £10 buy in with the opportunity of re-buys. He never had to re-buy and came first. Took home £640, his money roll reminded me of Rounders.

I spent 16 hours straight in an online poker room yesterday in a marathon Texas thingy. I won £200 in the end, and though it was virtual, I must say I had a great time of wasting away not having a proper life.

Rocks though. Must do it again tomorrow, I'm hoping to win £500 of monopoly money tomorrow!

Came second twice in a row, you see girls it's not always a good thing after all.

When you sign up for real money tournaments, you get a certain number of party points. When you enter a tournament for money, you use a certain number of party points and if you have put money down, you get points back.

It encourages you to put money in and play. There is more to it I think but I'm not sure. All I know is, after a month, I wouldn't be able to play any freerolls because you don't get points for freerolls and you use points for entering.

I couldn't tell you, been so long since I've played the play money rooms. What's Party Points?

I used to use that one but they upgraded i it wouldn't work on my pc, now i prefer Partypoker which is very similar.

What system do Willhill work on? Just sign up and play or is there a party points system like on Partypoker?

Quite good, played it a lot at uni but have stopped at the moment due to exams.

So true, you can't bluff bad players. I won a tourney just, only £5 payout but it's better than nothing.
