Default PokerRoom

From what I hear, PokerRoom is probably the best bet. BUT, I don't have an account there. I plan on opening an account there soon, but I want to work up my bankroll a little more more so I can maximize the deposit bonus. Always need to take full advantage of that.

I'm sure TP will find this understandable.

My schedule is really flexible... day, night, whatever. 10:15 next Thursday night is NOT good for me though, as that's the BIG NL cash game I play in, and I'd rather not miss that. Could we do it earlier? Like around 7 or so?

As for the buy-ins, are we just considering that added money (makes your EV better!) or are we factoring that into what we are playing for? Me - I vote that it's just added money.

Actually, since we are "both" adding the buy-ins, it wouldn't positively or negatively effect my EV.

I have $2.99 on PStars right now. LOL. In the meantime, I will try to build this up to $5.25, and we just make the buy-in added money. If, though, I can't build it up, or I lose or whatever, we'll need to do a $5.25 transfer, and it'll just be a part of what we're playing for. If you win, you get your money back (minus $.25). If I win, I'd win $10 total, and then you'd only owe $40 more.

Sure it would. Let's look at an extreme example. Say we were each adding $1000. Then we'd be taking the $30 I owe you and playing for $1000 if I win or $1050 if you win. surely you agree that's a better EV for you than $0 or $50 (on your $30).

My local game for tonight was just cancelled. Any chance you want to get the show on the road and play tonight? If so, just name the time and I'll make it happen. Later would probably be better, as far as railbirds are concerned. Maybe a 10:00 or 11:00 start time?

Surely you can get $2 into your account by then, one way or another. If not, I'll spot you.

Tonight doesn't seem like a good night. I haven't seen my girlfriend in a few days, and we're going out later on. If we don't, then maybe it'll happen. We both have AIM, so it would be easy to pop on, but to give the railbirds notice might pose a problem.

It's probably better to put it off.

Besides, shouldn't you brush up on your NL heads up play?

Who - wait a minute. Wait just a damn minute!

Am I reading this right? Surely I must be misinterpreting something here. Are you saying... no, you can't be. It's just not possible. I mean, it can't be true. Has the whole world gone topsy turvy?

YOU have a girlfriend???

LOL - grinding away at 1c-2c. I started w/ $2.99, got it up to $4.05. Big pre-flop raise w/ QQ. Call. 593 flop. Big bet, Call. J turn. I go all-in ... putting a good read on the guy w/ overcards. He calls... AQ... catches his ace on the river.

So, I'll need you to transfer me $5.25 prior to our matchup.

This is like Ali/Frazier, McEnroe/Borg, or Phil Hellmuth/Sam Grizzle!! I dont know if I'll be able to pony up the $49.95 for the pay per view though. I'll have to catch it on HBO or ESPNclassic.

What are you talking about? If you transfer me the money, and you win, then you'll win the money back. MINUS a quarter.

Hello, McFly!?

That has to be "THE" lamest thing I have ever heard.
I would be embarrassed to type that.

LOL - I now right.

I can't deposit the money myself - I think the min deposit is 50... but all of my money is tied up on Party.

If this is true... then $5.25 is way more than your bankroll can support.
I wonder if If I were to mouth off to Phil Ivey about how bad I would whoop him in a game "IF" I had the entry, people would start to believe it.

The moderator votes that if there is one more post about this challenge by anyone not fully willing to fund their own entry then all previous postings by said person be checked to see if they are worthy for the 10cents per post eligibility.

Anyone care to second that?

I'm probably in the vast minority here and if you don't agree with me don't bother telling me how stupid I am, we just disagree. This isn't some big corporation giving something away, I think we all understood coming in that it was one guy trying to start up a forum and shelling out cash out of his pocket and maybe, just maybe we should all have a bit of understanding. The other side says "hey he promised me xxx amount of money and now he ows it to me", well I get it, but let's look at the big picture here. Almost all of us came from RGP and this is a giant step up the food chain from that hell hole, YOU WERE POSTING ANYWAY and now are gonna get a few bucks in the deal. If your plan was to post here, take his $25 and turn it into a fortune, well that wasn't gonna happen, face it. This was for fun and money makes it fun.

If this were my decision I would post a set of rules I was comfortable with as far as the heads up matches go and everyone would play by the same set of rules, with the possible exception that the buy-in (that each side put up their own) could be negotiated.

If your on the other side, well your right too, TP did promise the money for the posts and if you followed the rules then yes he owes you, I mean your word is your word, but let just take a step back and look at the big picture and exactly what we are dealing with here, if you came here just to run up a bunch of posts and worry about $25 of $30 or $50, well, hhmmmm......

I am not playing on a gigantic bankroll here either where I can just say $50 is chump change, but if the deal was I had to go back to RGP after getting the money then TP could keep it and I'd stay here.

Sorry - forgot to address your concern for Thursday night. 7pm EST time sounds fine to me. How long do you foresee the match going? 1/2 hr - probably less?

I have a feeling you're gonna be a douche bag - trying to put a move on me when I have the nuts, you lose everything, and just say that I got lucky.

Hah.

LOL... I would like it if it went on for a while, but I can't imagine it will even last a half hour... probably 10-15 minutes, max. Depends how crazy you play and how willing you are to throw all your chips into the middle. With low blinds, there's no reason to hurry, so I plan to just wait and then smack you around when I have the nuts. Ooops - I'm giving away my strategy!!!

Yea right - don't give away too much, killer.

Hmmm... 56 suited? Raise.

Shit, now I'm giving away MY strategy.

If you sign up through my links, then yes, I will

One thing to consider though, PR offers reload bonuses regularly... so even if you don't get the max first time deposit money ($100), at least you'll have an account there and can get any reload bonuses that are offered between now and wheneven you were planning on making your first deposit.
