I'm not allowed to play with real money.:(

[Penguin]

I use FirePay. It's pretty amazing that I can transfer money to FirePay then to PokerStars in less than 2 minutes. Pretty weird that it takes something like 72 hours for cashouts to make it back to my bank account.

But, I've never had a problem.

citadel on UB (no fees).

fulltilt doesn't use citadel so i use firepay (3.99 charge on a deposit i think).

[yermom]

i use IGM-Pay/Pay-pro on Partypoker... once you are established the deposits are immediate, but the cashouts take a few days


only one of my credit cards works for it (Arvest)

this is all with no fees, if your card or bank won't do electronic gaming, then you have to start looking at things like Firepay

[Scott D]

I have no idea, I haven't actually put money into any of them in a long time.

[NASASooner]

I've played at FullTilt, PokerStars and Bugsys Club for money sites. I used NetTeller for the money transfer. After 14 months I'm nearly even so I haven't tried to cash out. Each site has been okay by me.

[the_ouskull]

Well, the sites I can play on are somewhat limited 'cause I run Linux and Mozilla instead of Windows and IE. But, so far, so good. I started last night on PokerRoom.com and I've already won 2 sit-and-gos and placed 36th in a 2000 person tourney. (But only the top 30 cashed... Grrr...)

Neteller for Pokeroom. Pokeroom>>>Partypoker. Only bad thing about Pokeroom is I dont think they have a jackpot. Man those jackpots on partypoker look very nice.

Whats your favorite game? I am very fond of the 1-2NL. I am the suck-out king.

That is All

i must warn you--- online poker for money is ill-e-gal. Here is a link to offer info:

I think you are as likely to get caught as some student downloading movies and music for free (it's happened, but not often), but I don't want a fellow Sooner to not know the law :)

[yermom]

not quite yet...


On July 11th the U.S. House of Representative passed H.R. 4411, the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, which is aimed at preventing individuals from using their money and accessing Web sites for purposes of making wagers. Online poker is specifically targeted in this legislation and if the Senate passes it this year, your ability to play online will be seriously threatened. Click here to call or write your Senators now and tell them to oppose this legislation.

.5/$1 PL Omaha Hi

me and NL cash games don't get along for some reason

NL tourneys on the other hand... i've been playing a lot of heads up tourneys lately, they are fun and usually pretty short

[olevetonahill]

If Im playing for real money , I want to see REAL cards, and REAL peeps holding those cards . Nuff said

[Penguin]

I've been playing $0.50/$1 NL Hold 'em lately. Last night, I joined a table and within 3 hands I flopped a nut full house. Some dude went all-in and gave me his bankroll. $35 in 3 hands ain't too shabby.

I used to be scared of NL and stuck with the limit tables. The problem with limit is that you can't chase off the 10-1 draws. 80% of the people see a flop in limit and somebody always gets that miracle flop.

Not for poker but Pinnacle Sports will pick up the Western Union fees which is cool. I just take cash down to the grocery sotre and it's in my account in 10 minutes.

[StoopTroup]

Anyone played on MansionPoker.net?

The free tourneys are good practice IMO.

[StoopTroup]

Nobody?

Not even Yermom?

[yermom]

i'm fine with Partypoker, i don't like any of the other interfaces i have tried

although, pokerroom working on Linux might be interesting...

[StoopTroup]

This one is alot like PP.

PP ****ed me off.

[yermom]

how's that?
