I used to play a demo version of strip-poker deluxe on Win 3.1. Getting the hang of it, my pubcrawling in Reykjavik got financed with deadly winnings from some poker-boxes. Now that's what I called a "partypoker" back then.  :devil

I used to play with Greg Raymer, Chris Moneymaker and Dan Negraneau on Pokerstars.net.   But I got sick of having my account suspended by idiots accusing me of cheating, who would go "All In" at a "No All In" table, with crap when I'd have a Full House or better.   It happened three times and I finally got sick of it.

I met Hellmuth through there as well and we played at The Mirage Poker Room in Vegas.   Wife was asleep and woke up $3,000 richer.  But having breakfast and talking with Phil was even better.   I still play with Jim McManus in Chicago at times with my brother.

I watch day after day, week after week, tour after tour, the Bishops and Rooks take bases and win maps while the Knights stand there with their thumbs stuck in their butts. It's just pathetic!

I did poker pages for a while, but that was a few years ago.

Tried it, ended up not liking it.

Maybe if I was playing with real $ I would enjoy it more.

i have set a limit for myself and play for 10$ a week. Ive been up to almost 90 but then i chuck it all away on a few big pots :) All in good fun but one day the pot will be mine. Limit of 10 is set just to make sure nothing gets out of hand if im having a drink or two ;)

The patrons of Full Tilt financed my last year of undergraduate work. 

I bought in for $80.  I cashed out prior to the start of classes with $6,000.  It took about a year and a half or so, maybe 6 hours a week.  All it takes is a lot of discipline, and not going for the "big score".

I played for no more than 10% of my bankroll at any one time, depending on how many tourneys I was involved in.  Usually, I never played in a tourney for more than 2% of my Bank.

These days, there are 100 different programs that scan the client, and tell the other players what your ROI (Return on investment) is.  Mine was stable at over 900% at all times, and I stopped getting any play at those tables when people had those programs.  Nobody called anything, and I would end up just grabbing blinds. 

Now I just play live games, mostly, when I have any time.  Still working on my PhD, after all.

Yes I have. Haven't played in a year, but might get back into playing again. As soon as the WSOP  hype wears down.

Play both real and play chips.

And I'm the Queen of England. Is there anything you don't do? :rolleyes:  I've never heard of anyone having an account suspended on pokerstars. :confused:
