Best Places to Play Online Poker

[Kevin]

POKER ROOMS

Poker Stars - World's biggest online poker room. Still offers satellites that offer free $10K seats to the World Series of Poker.

Sportsbook.com Poker - Highest acceptance rate in the industry on credit card deposits. Offers generous bonuses. The neat thing about this place is that there's tons of loose action because of the amount of fish they have. The reason for this is that Sportsbook.com is the largest online sportsbook on the net. This means you have a bunch of sports bettors in the mix that aren't your typical sharp poker player.

Cake Poker - Get a 100% bonus up to $500. Pretty good at getting credit cards to work, even Mastercards from U.S. clients! Use Cake Bonus Code: PREDICTEM

Any opinion on Pokerroom, Kevin?

I think it is the only one that is Mac-compatible...or are the others? I think Stif was interested in finding one, and I would be too...

Thanks.

[Kevin]

Pokerroom used to be one of the biggest until they quit catering to americans.

Full Tilt Poker - Use bonus code: FULLBONUS

Accepts Mac users and has some huge critical mass 24 hrs a day insuring that you'l always be able to find the game or sit and go to suit your needs.

Thanks for asking.

I won a seat in the main event....the 12K prize package....

I took the satellite path...I first won a satellite to qualify for the 1K thursday qualifier, and then finished 2nd in the thursday 1K qualifier to win the wsop main event prize package...I was so damn excited I couldn't sleep that night...

Thanks JB! well if I'm fortunate enought to make it on TV and who knows get real damn lucky and make the final table (going to need a helluva lot of luck) than I'm going to have to be wearing full tilt gear to get their extra payout.....so I'll most likely be wearing full tilt gear

I hate online poker. That shit is so rigged yet so addicting to stop playing. I'm glad I haven't touch an online poker game for the past 3 months. I like to keep it like that. I rather stick to live action around my local area and at the casino where I know I can grind it out against newbs.

BTW, Good luck to you Bookie. If you get any air time, make sure you give a shout out to predictem.com!

well.....my wsop main event is officially over....I lasted til right before the dinner break on day 2, when I was all in for my tourney life for the first time pre-flop...with Pocket Kings...was sitting a little below average when a raise of 3X times the blinds came to me (with one caller after the raise) and I re-raised to 8X times the blind......the player who raised was the smallest stack at the table and a very loose player, and I wanted him all in...and it worked. I also really didn't want to go three way to the flop, but with Kings was pretty confident...until the other caller puts me all in...he has maybe 20% more chips than me...at this point, I just dont want to see AA from him...but figure what the hell..it's time to gamble a little and its a good opportunity to 'hopefully' triple up....we flopped our cards over and here's what I saw..low stack has 10J (offsuit), and the player that took me all in has pocket 8's!...when I flip over my pocket Kings, the guy with pocket 8's pretty much said he was hoping he'd be in a race with me or something...I don't know..I was feeling pretty good pre-flop...and the flop came...6-7-8....and that was it for me in the wsop...he made a set with his 8's and my wsop main event was over! I don't know what else i could've done with this hand...I know I could've played better the first few hours of the first day...i played a little too loose, but I made up plenty of those chips i lost early on, by playing better later...but losing with Kings to eights pre flop was just horrible...but i had a great time, and hope to get a chance to play again next year....on a side note...i did play in a 2nd chance event for $500 with around 160 people or so, and finished 13th to win a little over a grand...so over all it was a good trip...just wish i could've lasted longer...
