Any regulars here play at Poker Stars and how do you go/what do you play?

I have just signed up, so far, no luck! ha ha, but still learning the way these guys play at the various tables.

So far just doing 1 table (or the 180 player tournament) sit and go tables in the low rooms, playing turbo texas holdem with no limits.

Any opinions, thoughts, or anyone want a match? ;)
 
I play at Full Tilt or 888 but only for fun. Threw $500 in early days, got a $500bonus, then lost it all in about 5 minutes!

Great entertainment for free though, just finished a "Matrix" no limit Holdem, pretty fun stuff if you have some free time...:)
 
If you play alot of the free games, they give you $5 for free to play with.
If you do happen to get the $5, make sure you stay on the low blind tables (1c/2c) and then work your way up.
 
haven't played on poker stars, but do play a bit on pokerroom.com

have started playing 25 / 50c cash games recently after usually playing $5 or $10 tournaments

i think cuttlefish said he signed up on pokerroom on the other poker thread
 
Yeh, I'm playing on the 6 USD tables, so about 10 bucks a pop which is ok.

Have come 2nd the last 3 matches. Getting the hang of their all or nothing styles. A lot of the guys are easy beats, but some are extremelly good.

Here we go, for a 180 person tournament! ha ha.

Surprised nobody here is on Poker Stars. Trying to work out which tournament I have to enter to get a crack at the world series. Would cop a beating there!
 
Yes, some friends of mine play on Poker Stars, pretty good feedback, but they are all good!

Best is playing a tourney at the local, can't beat that...
 
MRC, why did you choose Poker Stars? I have never tried any other than pokerroom because thats what one of my mates used to play on. Are you keen to get through to one of the big tournaments via a satellite event?

I just heard it's the biggest and the best.

It's where Joe won to qualify for the World Series.

Plus a few of my mates play there.

I would be keen to get through to one of the big tournaments, but I imagine that would be a long way off, plus, always need a bit of luck. This is more just a bit of fun, to go with the trading. If I can make a buck or two off it, then all the better. :) Played a guy who went in the European Championships, and there is definately a big difference between the pros and the wanna bes (such as myself).

Still in the 180 man tournament, winner gets like $300, so worth a crack!
 
Yeh im on pokerstars, depends on what tourneys you want to enter they have em all from freerolls (the tourneys your talking about) to payed satellites etc..... but i prefer playing live matches (at the tables) then online.
 
I am at poker stars every Saturday morning in the $11 tournament ($30,000 guaranteed) tournament that starts about 10.30 am.

Freeroles, as in, free to enter and top place or places get free entry into payed satellites? Sorry, not familiar with the whole poker jargon.

Edit: Talked to a couple players. They say it's better to enter the small paid tourneys on Poker Stars for entry into satellites so you don't compete with all the thousands of amateurs trying to get in through freeroles......
 
I just play the free play games and freeroll tournaments. I'm doing pretty good in the free play - up 230k
 
MRC, I play on Full Tilt. Have played on Poker Stars before, but prefer the interface of FTP.

Pretty much only play NL Heads Up.

I'm not that much of a fan of heads up, i reckon it becomes more about luck and less about skill compared to a full table.
 
i play semi-regularly on pokerstars.

usually $1-2 NL

i have one rule which is cash out if current account balane is 3x buy in.

usually buy in for 200, and i reckon my cash out ratio is bout 60:40.

so i guess i'm winning :)
 
i knew there would be a lot of traders who are poker players, lots of similarities. Might be time to set up a regular game for ASF members.
 
Excuse my ignorance, but what is heads up Julius?

And how do you play cash games Largesse on Poker Stars? Which tabs do I go to in the lobby? That's one thing that annoys me with the sit and go, sometimes you get huge chips up and end up loosing them! :(

Jersey, yeah, I'll be up for a ASF table or even just all go into the same tournament so I can watch you guys when I get knocked out! ha ha.
