The Poker Thread

Yeah I guess I'd do stud too, why not? Is there any chance of structuring this around my time in Denmark? I'd like to try and take all the bracelets down!

You'll be lucky to take one down.

Not running too great, played some 45-man tournaments and just running quite card dead. Managed to finish in 6th earlier though.

I've been playing at fulltilt the last couple of days as I've got a bonus that I'm slowly working my way through. It's nice to have rakeback too.

My bankroll at fulltilt was only $12 but I've managed to build that up to $47 so far.

Made a small 15$ profit this morning at cash but paid stupid in a 180 man after doing so well and getting reads spot on guess thats what you get for breaking up with your girlfriend mid tourney

I'm so bored I've decided to get back into a bit of online poker.

It's been a while, any advice?

I used to have a William Hill one but that got cancelled, I don't have one anymore.

Sign up to pokerstars then and let us know how much you deposit that will give us a better idea as to what type of limit you can play at.

Use the deposit code WCOOP is should still work for a bonus.

WCOOP doesn't work

EDIT: It wants my passport number, strawberry float that gooseberry fool.

The code STARS600 should work.

Yeah I saw in the verification email, but there's no way I'm giving an online site my bank details, address, passport number and driving license. That's ridiculous.

Er... I don't think anyone here had to give a passport number or driving license. Address and card though are pretty standard if you want to deposit.

Pokerstars, when I go to the Cashier it comes up with a bunch of Card types, I select Visa and it has some guff about age verification and wont let me proceed until I stick those things in.

Pretty sure that's fairly standard nowadays. You can probably trust the biggest online poker company in the world, but I'd have a quick read of all the terms and conditions anyway.

Why do you request identity verification documents?

Identity verification documents are requested in order to comply with our Isle of Man licensing agreement.

Y'what?

I'm doing well in a couple of MTTs at the moment.

The first is an $8 freezeout. There were 2865 entrants and we're down to just 69. I'm currently 27th
The second tournament is a $5 rebuy. 3326 players entered and it's now down to 950. I'm in 111th with 585 places winning cash.

Edit: They're on break now. My current positions:
$8 freezeout - 25/43
$5 rebuy - 149/732
Guaranteed to win at least $41.26 so far.

Edit2:
Finished in 31st in the $8 freezeout. I had AT on a ten high flop and so I bet it, other guy shoves all-in. It looks like a bluff and I've seen him shove with bottom pair before so I make the call but he has AA. I won $43.55 but if I held on a little longer until 15th it would have been $115 and 9th would have been $240.

I've just made the cash in the $5 rebuy though. I'm 163/585 and guaranteed at least $26.59. The money goes up a bit quicker than the other tourney, so hopefully I can get a nice win.

Edit3: And I'm out of the rebuy in 197th winning $58.51. A guy kept going all-in every hand and then I get dealt AK suited in the BB and he goes all-in. I call and he has AQ off-suit but hits a queen to knock me out

$100 for the night wasn't too bad, it's boosted my Stars roll back up to $800. I only played those two tournaments tonight and they both had around 3000 players so cashing in both was quite good. I just need one big win now rather than lots of small ones, but I'm getting close.

Well played sat

Hoping to win again in the LPPL game today which will secure 1st for the venue

I might play the 1/4 mil tourney again tonight if your up for that?

Im still undecided as there is a £10 PL freezeout on tonight at the casino and with it been bank holiday weekend it could be a big tourney.
