Big Country Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I know Poker Stars doesnt do referral bonusses, but keep an eye out on deposit and reload bonusses. That is the time to sign up if you plan on playing any decent amount of time on the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spain Posted June 15, 2006 Author Share Posted June 15, 2006 I use Neteller. They link up to your checking account. It's 100% secure. It's pretty quick in terms of setup and availability of use. +1 +1 The money is deposited to your poker account immediately. The withdrawals back into your checking account are typically next day. Very simple to use, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skins Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Sounds like a new career Spain. Move the family to Vegas! This has been my kid brother's career for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darin3 Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I just signed up for a "spain tourney" ... $20+2 entry, 180-players... Perhaps I'll start up a thread - for luck - if I last through the first hour. I'm logged in as "darin3" there if you care to come watch.

darin3 Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 (edited) How is it so far? UNFREAKINBELIEVABLE! I get dealt J9s on the button. I just call, as people have been re-raising like crazy. 4 players. Flop comes 7s 10s 8h ... I flopped the nuts straight with a flush draw. I bet a modest bet. Dude comes over the top with a raise. Two folders. I push him all-in with the nuts. He flips over 10/7. River is a 7. Unbelievable. This seals it. I am officially taking a break from playing on PokerStars. It never fails. I play in the lower-limit cash games and I get idiots that suck out with nothing. I play the higher-limit cash games and I run into spells of cold cards and when I DO get playable cards, the fish have already folded. I play in lower-limit SnG's and I get run off by guys looking to make the quick hit. I play in higher-limit tournies and the above happens. I am starting to think it's rigged. Really. Fortunately I ordered an OLD SCHOOL NINTENDO with a few games off eBay this week and it should be arriving soon. I am going to take a month-or-so break from Joker/Chaser Stars. Will continue to play in home games and may hit up a casino here pretty soon. I am still hopping mad over that weak asz hit.

Will continue to play in home games and may hit up a casino here pretty soon. I am still hopping mad over that weak asz hit. I sometimes question the "randomness" of the cards, for lack of a better word. I went through 1 period of where I took a bad beat/horrible suckout to lose without moneying in ~15 straight games. And those were all 45 person tourneys! Then I get on a run like I am on now where I cant seem to lose. It seems odd some of the flops, suckouts, 3 or 4 people all having HUGH hands at the same time. I usually take a break when I start running cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Ryan Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Spain, If I were you Id be playing tonight. You are in a zone. Darin, has he ever won anything at anything. Seriously, the dude couldnt punch his way out of a wet paper sack, yet he whines like a lil girlie when things, all things dont fall into his lap. I love hearing his crying though, reminds me of my kid brother telling our mom, when I was a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spain Posted June 16, 2006 Author Share Posted June 16, 2006 ASs a follow up to this, I have enough FPP points there to set up private tournies.. min cost is 10+1, but then they do all the work in terms of blind increases, table moves, etc. It would allow a game ot have more than 10 players and it is all on the same server, so non of the log in log off stuff of the pokerroom site That sounds great to me BC. Just let me know when we can get a group together. I cant stand poker room and finally gave up trying. They have the worst interface of any poker site on the internet imo. Plus, that whole dual server thing drives me nuts. I would definitely be up for a Huddle game at Poker Stars or at Party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
