    Yeah, I had like $800 left. The blinds were 200/400 and i was big blind so I only had $400 left and I hit pocket A's didn't really have a choice. Everyone on the table called me and I hit an ace on the flop and ended up winning with trip A's :p

    Nice!

    I really want to get back into poker but decided to close my WSOP account because I'm in my final year at Uni

    Is there a WSOP site to play poker?

    http://www.wsop.com/play-poker/

    That's the site I've been using

    It's decent, nothing special tbh

    Better than pokerstars? FTP?

    I was actually in a really good position early on. Had just over $5,000 and had the 14th highest chip stack out of the remaining 422 people. Had Ace/K hearts and the flop was like this:

    4hearts, Ace spades, 7 hearts

    Some guy goes all in with $3,200 and i'm thinking "well i've probably got highest pair with a king kicker. Also got the chance for a flush." I call it and he has King spades/Queen clubs. I think "Beautiful, should have ths"

    The turn comes up:

    4hearts, Ace spades, 7 hearts, 10 diamonds

    Then the river:

    4hearts, Ace spades, 7 hearts, 10 diamonds, Jack clubs.

    Cunt jagged a straight on the turn & river. Demolished my stack and I never recovered. Went straight into defensive mode :p

    Never really liked Pokerstars, from what I remember (about 3 years ago) the structure of the website was pretty dire so didn't join for long

    To be honest, I joined the ones with the best offers etc

    Titan poker was one that gave me a great welcome bonus a few years back and was a decent poker site

    Should do the old Ryan/Colesy/Snake trick. All of us play a decent free roll and team up. Play normally and if we are lucky enough to have more than 1 of us on the same table we use MSN to tell each other what we have. Try to pad 1 persons account: "eg; I'm doing badly, not getting anything. Me & Colesy are the only 2 left in the hand and he tells me he has triple 10's and we're the only 2 left. I have nothing but go all in and colesy calls thus gaining a shit load of cash. When he gets in the money he splits the cash with the rest of us"

    I joined Pokerstars ages ago, don't like it at all. Had so many bad beats it was ridiculous. 888Poker is alright since I joined, pretty good offers from what I see. Only joined it because of this thread :p
     
  10. Gazza GJ Weaver

    Yeah we should do it
     
  11. RyanG R Gee

    Righto. My MSN is msn email is ripply90@hotmail.com

    I should probably check if I even have MSN still, haven't used it since like 2009.

    Must have joined a good handful of poker sites over the past few years... probably one of the main reasons I didn't do well at A Levels

    Use to only go to 6th form to pay cash poker with my mates on free lessons and lunch breaks

    One stage, I turned $50 into $1000 by playing high stakes, went on tilt and got down to $500 before withdrawing it.

    What level is your 88Poker account at Gazza? Mine is Iron and there's a $100 Iron Free Roll in just over an hour.
     
  14. Gazza GJ Weaver

    I haven't put sny money into it so just the beginning one
     
  15. mouse MJ Edwards

    Any more free rolls anytime soon?
     
  16. Gazza GJ Weaver

    People in NZ can't deposit money using WSOP, it's exactly the same setup as 888 poker.
     
  17. mouse MJ Edwards

    Have you tried Titan Poker?

    http://www.titanpoker.com/
     
  18. mouse MJ Edwards

    That actually might be for people only living in Europe
     
  19. Gazza GJ Weaver

    I'll give it a dig, just FTP was still working
     
  20. RyanG R Gee

    I don't think there's any available for a while in that case. There was the $75 Free Roll this morning which I came 80th in, I know that one is available to everyone. Don't know how many times a day they do it though.
