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 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.

I've been playing Texas Hold Em since about 6-7 years of age.   So since "you" haven't heard of it, means it's impossible.   I have friends on the WPT and WSOP Circuit.  

I go between Full Tilt and Ultimatebet now.

 I play on fulltilt and just recently signed up on ultimatebet.  I like the style of tourneys on UB  they can cap out 800 entries makes the tourneys alot more interesting.

I play on FullTilt, but I stay on the fake money side. If I'm betting cash, I want to see the cards.
