\<~ me. but not right now though, usually late nights…

side note: on full tilt you can usually watch the $500/$1000 NL capped 30k table, and see some good pros on there. ivey was on a couple nights ago, and david benyamine is on most nights. i’ve seen benyamine make about 100k profit in each of the last 3 nights… bastard.

Its easy, put money on and play. I was in Walgreens and saw they have prepaid cards to load into Pokerstarz now.

Also I love watching Ivey get online, he usually will load up 100-200k and lose it and reload 3 times an hour and walk off the table with 400k profit after just butchering people.

(Then again, I’ve seen him sit and lose 2-300k in 10 minutes haha)

i had been playing at the cashino pretty consistently for a good half year, but after i lost $400 in two nights i realized i’ll just stick to fun games.

poker is funny though, your skills really fade away after not playing for awhile ( against good competition )

i played online a lot, only SNGs though… consistently placing in the $5 game makes you feel pretty rad ( regardless of what the other _pro_ players say on the board, beating the $5 online SNGs is good )

dos, check out the twoplustwo forums if you want a poker forum to read

No. They still are open. Just some sites have shut down entirely, other limit the way you can put money on. You no longer (afaik) can deposit your winnings into your bank account, it now must be sent 4-6 weeks via check.
