well i played my first online money poker tournament last night.
i play a lot of free tournys and do fairly well...i win a lot of play money and just give it away to people.
about a month or so ago...i won my way thru a few free qualifying tournys...and did well in the main tourny...just to fall a little short...but 1 of the guys i played against....actually he is the 1 that took me out...asked me if i would be interested in playing a tourny or 2 on his money.
i finally took him up on his offer last night..tourny had a $55 buy in...with about 600 people starting...he would get 75 percent of any money won.
i would never gamble with my own money...so i thought it would be neat to at least play with the big boys on someone elses penny...what did i have to lose ;D.
well i ended up finishing the tourny in 9th place...won $361...not bad for a dumb ol georgia boy huh ;D....and i get $90 bucks for having fun playing poker ;D...$90 will help a lot towards cps rock rascal.

sands..it is all on the net...i have been invited to play with some of the others here in town...but i just choose not to put up real money of my own...they all are business owners...i cant afford the losses if they come... as they can
at least on the net...everyone can win there way in for free....just have to work at it...and get lucky....hopefully i can shortly

WTG Kevin congrats on your win!! Do you ever play at pokerstars? I play there, not very good but I enjoy it. I had a free ticket to get into a tourney, didn't get very far but it was pretty cool. I was happy cause I wasn't the first one out.

ya..i play at pokerstars a lot...thats where i do all of the free tournys....the 9th place finish was at another site...but i prefer pokerstars...havent used my ticket yet...but hey its another free way in...if you do well.
he dropped $5 in my pokerstars account...just being nice i reckon.
if you ever need any playmoney for pokerstars just let me know...i give it away to strangers most of the time.
i was selling them on ebay..$30 a million...but someone started reporting my auctions...so i had to quit.
if ya need any let me know....i win a million...give it away...start over...win a million...give it away...i just like playing.

Cool- We have Texas Holdem tourneys at camp about once a month- I don't play a lot- but every time I decide to try it some 18 year old who has never played before- walks in and wins- The last tourney they had was a nice $200 payout- it was some kid's 18th b-day and he walk away with it (he admitted to have played for fun before)
