Online poker

I've started playing a little bit through Bodog (I had money in for some sports gambling). I haven't cashed out, but I had no problems getting money in.

Plus, the people who play there suck. I play low limits just to F around when I'm bored, but I have done fairly well.

I also play on Bodog. Bodog's great and you can also use your cash for sports betting.

You guys aren't considering playing at the office, right?

I play on Absolute Poker and Full Tilt "sit & go" tournaments all the time and have not had an issue withdrawing money. I play live tournaments a few times a month and used to occassionally play at the Straddle Club in the city before the whole gunman fiasco.

The site where my college roommate and I used to play ran into some legal problems. Neither of us good withdraw our money. My roommate lost about $250, I only lost $50. I can't remember the name of the site exactly.

Hmm ok doesn't seem to be a problem with withdrawing... how about depositing? I closed down all my accounts so I need to set everything back up again.

screw bodog, everyone plays on fulltilt or pokerstars

with fulltilt u can deposit using any credit card. works great

good luck

i used to play a lot; 3/6- 5/10NL; had accounts on stars, party, pacific (oh god the fish), doylesroom, bodog were the main ones, didn't play much on fulltilt

had bankroll of 5 digits, still a bit underrolled for 1kmax; was active member of 2+2, used pokertraker, pokeroffice, student of sklansky...etc

neteller froze all accounts, took about 6th months and they released funds to all us customers; permanently shut down for us people. pretty much stopped playing since all the high end fish are gone, and its more difficult making good money at high stakes (though im sure low stakes are easy, i just can't go back after winning thousands a session)

yea im going into trading =)

played tons before
neteller got sued i believed
fulltilt and pkstars are the ones to play on now

pkstars probably has better tourney play but fulltilt is more popular

Lets just say Poker stars has subsidized my education....

online poker is just not as fun as the real thing...

since you say that you've played in msnl and was an active member of 2+2, i'm assuming that you have an above average understanding of the game and your skillset is def better. I'm kind of a lurker and such on 2+2, but have been thinking about getting serious about poker and voraciously reading 2+2 to get better.

but i'm also becoming an upperclassman and with no trading related internships, am getting worried if concentrating a good portion of time into poker is not worth it in the long run considering I could instead spend that time reading the wsj, barrons, and concentrating on my grades. would you honestly say it is worth it or is it just an excuse for gamblers to feel good about themselves

it is definitely not worth it to get into poker now. the poker craze is over, and i don't see legalized poker anytime soon within the US (i'm assuming you're in the US btw). if i spent half the time reading WSJ as i did playing poker i would be like 5x more knowledgeable than i am now. also, if you start playing poker you definitely get hooked, which could affect everything from your grades to friends...etc. trust me i'v e been through it and so has everyone on 2+2

poker didn't really affect my recruiting at all. i guess it got me a couple of second rounds when i mentioned it in first rounds, but never during a second round did i bring up poker (nor was it even on my resume). poker's fun and it's a good game to learn, but i wasn't even interested in finance at the time i was playing. if i was, i kinda wish i had got into forex trading. it's a lot of gambling, but at least then i would have somethign to talk about in my interviews.

I have used bodog for a few years now. I have deposited and withdrawn money recently (over the last three months) without any problems. You can use any major credit card to deposit without any problems. I am not quite sure how they do it though. I mentioned it to my credit card company once on an unrelated matter and they seemed shocked that I could use my account with them to fund my poker habit.

Warning on bodog though, it is good for lower money games but if you are looking for high stakes, look else where. If you just want to put $10-20 here or there though, there is no where better then bodog.
