"On Line Poker"

Not sure if this has been done before, but if you play Poker online, which site do you use, is it any good and what is your username.

I use Ladbrokes, you get a few idiots but mainly good players, username is PG36.

I always have music on and usually playing pool at same time as playing poker.

440 people so far registered and going to aim for top 40. Probably be around 500 people by 7.00 comes.

Smedlos - only play practice though never real money, currently got about $1100 from a starting pot of $1000.

Very good it's simple to log on and play so can't grumble. I quite often fire it up and have a play while posting on here as well, what happens is if you have it hidden behing say this chat forum screen when it comes to your turn it automatically brings it to the front with a "beep".

The beep doesn't matter though as I always have music on my headphones when on here.

Yeah.

You deposit a minimum of £10 and you can bet on any football teams, horse races etc. Then when you log into the poker database, your £10 will be automatically converted into $. When you log out of the poker database, it will be converted back into £'s again.

When I've looked at my account when I've won something, it's always in pounds. When I use the Sportingodds software, it displays it in dollars, if that makes sense.

Do you put money in in £ and then it's converted to $ and if you want to take money out it's converted from $ back into £?

Yep, $250 split between usually 40 players daily at 7pm. I've not put in a deposit at Sportingodds and I've finished in the money a few times. Obviously, the higher place you finish, the more you win. The winner usually gets about $62.50 which is about £30.

And these Safety Net tourneys have cash prizes, for people without realmoney in thier account?

Playing poker now infact, on pokerroom.com

:)

At Sportingodds - yes, if you want to play in the $1000 freeroll on Thursdays. Something like 100 raked hands.

You can play the 'Safety Net' tournaments without playing raked hands.

You need to play a certain amount of raked hands before you can enter freerolls, correct?

6.00 used to be the best, until the clocks went forward and made it 7.00. Was hoping they'd keep it at 6.00... oh well.

Was 5.00 yesterday though.
