  1. The theory is good, but the logistics would be a nightmare. You would have to get each person ( 1st, 2nd 3rd assuming just 10 played and 3 payed) every week to transfer their winnings to this 'lockbox'. Doing this twice a week and having everyone agree and understand would just be horriffic in my opinion.The point system alone would be a nightmare. All the major online pokersites, especially pokerstars is known for having fantastic satellites to all the WPT events, especially the WSOP Main Event.Anywhere from a $3 rebuy to $650 + $15 direct qualifiar can earn you a seat in the WSOP.Seem a little easier to utilize a system already in place like these, but best of luck if you decide to try something like that.

  2. Ok I think I have had too much poker lately.My alarm clock went off this morning as the reality of a new year and Monday morning work came to light.In a daze I threw my arm across the bed and hit the snooze button and said "Check"My wife says she is taking the computer away lol.

  3. How do you all respond to people who chat or try to make conversation when playing in a game online? I love to talk when I'm playing but I think most people find it annoying.Always fun to use some Rounders references to try and make yourself look like a total newb ...dna4ever: its been 30 minutes and I havent spotted the sucker at the table yet, crap!Another one of my favorites ...Dealer: Game #1018244944: dna4ever wins pot ($1.90)dna4ever: 5263 more pots like that and i got my seat at the wsopSo does this just annoy the hell out of people or are most people cool with it? I guess if you have a real problem you can always turn off player/observer chat.

  4. Personally I hate rebuys and nearly refuse to play them, but on occassion I get a hankerin (thats a southern term for 'urge') to play one. When I do play a rebuy I play the first hour tighter then a drum only playing the most premium of hands and I always utilize the addon unless I am above 80% avg stack.I have seen the madness that you talk about and I dont think there is any way someone can make money doing that on a regular basis. Some people confuse rebuy tournies with turbo tournies and think they have to build there stack as fast as possible. A big stack can help intimidate and take a few extra blinds, but in the long run its best to just play your normal game.Its kinda of like a fish in a ring game. You chase enough flops, turns, and rivers you will always end up losing more of you're bankroll then you will ever add to it. I personally hate all-in crap unless its really high blinds and no other plays make sense. I know its a part of the game and it wouldnt be NL without the power of the all-in, but to me its a wussy move that usually says "I'm not that good at poker so I will let a coin decide if I can continue playing or not"

  5. I just watched a DVD of Howard Lederer's called "Howard Lederer Tells All" and it is basically just 60 minutes of how to pick up tells in live games. There is a tiny bit of hold-em instructional, but mainly a how to read tells DVD. I picked it up in the Wal-Mart 2 for $11 DVD bin, but have seen it on ebay pretty cheap too.
