I recently read on gambling911.com about the Million Dollar Poker Club Looking for 50 Stars for WSOP 2009. Now from what I understand is that they have weekly freerolls to monthly tourneys. In those tourneys some of the prizes had to do with lessons from pro's. Now my question is even though I live in the US am I allowed to play those freerolls and accept non-cash prizes such as lessons? Thanks.

The dates for the weekend in vegas was for Aug 8th through the 10th for 2008.Ahhh, the good old early days of FCP. Daniel used to run these contests a while back when we had poker at FCP. The first one was an FCP logo contest winners thing. Then there was a few others, but when we lost the poker site it all went away.Pretty sure what you saw was an old one back from like, 2005 or so? -
I'm curious to know about the video Daniel made regarding a weekend in vegas for 18 people to hang out with him. I am wondering if anyone has any more information on it? The video from Raw Vegas says it was put online January 2nd but actually seems prett new. I think this one be an experience of a lifetime and I hope to be a part of it. Thanks for any info.This is the info I have thus far. A website is currently being set up that should provide a more detailed account of what the trip includes, I'll post the link when I receive it. I know the guys putting this on, it's going to be first rate all the way. Poker Stars has already purchased 5 of the spots and will be running satellites and tournaments over the next few months. I'll post this info when I receive it as well.LAS VEGAS, NV, April 7, 2008 – Daniel Negreanu, 3 time World Series of Poker bracelet winner, announced today the launch of ‘A Weekend with Daniel Negreanu’ – a poker player’s dream weekend of private lessons, tournament and high end hospitality.

After a cocktail reception, they will board an SUV limousine for a VIP poker-style night on the town, complete with a private dinner and exclusive table service at one of the city’s top nightclubs.Over the course of the following two days, Daniel will lead the group in seminars designed specifically to improve their game, both from a strategic and tactical standpoint. Seminar topics range from the technical aspects of pots odds and implied odds to the more strategic lessons including bluffing, reading opponents, tournament strategy, cash game strategy and online poker concepts. In addition to the seminars, the attendees will divide into two groups, and will participate in live workshops work with Daniel at the poker tables. It is here that Daniel can assess each player’s game, identify individual weaknesses and help correct them. The third day will culminate in a private, 18 person poker tournament where the attendees can put their newfound skills to the test. “If you’re a serious poker player looking to improve your game, I invite you to join us for ‘A Weekend with Daniel Negreanu”, said Daniel, “Not only will you leave a better player, but you will have a great time and live the life of a high stakes poker player”.‘A Weekend with Daniel Negreanu is limited to only 18 participants and costs $15,000 per player.

I'm trying to understand where the UIGEA puts US players in terms of online poker. I recently joined the poker players alliance and am trying to keep up, but for me seems like I have a lot more questions than I do answers.I'm grasping the fact that there are 4 Acts we are trying to pass/amend. HR 2046, HR 2610, HR 2140 and HR 2607. My question here is whats happening with them? They went to congress last year so when do they review what they learned, and do they? Is it illegal to play online poker if you live in the US? I was also reading about Deval Patrick trying to get 3 casino's in Mass while banning Mass. residents from playing online poker. So if he's trying to ban it from his state then what exactly did the UIGEA do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I posted something a day ago about which site to put my money. I have decided for the deposit bonus to go with FT. Then once I have a bigger bankroll I just split between FT and PS. So for rakeback all I have to do is goto rakeback.com and register? It all just seemed too easy which is why I thought I would ask. Do I have to have money in my accounts when I register or can I do it before I deposit? Thanks everyone for your help.
-
Ok stupid question. To sign up for rakeback all I have to do is goto rakeback.com and register? Do I need like a CC or something? It just sounded way to easy which is why I had to ask.

Thanks all for the help. I am going to try FT first with the deposit bonus and rakeback. Does PS doe rakeback also? At what amount of money should I split between FT and PS. Oh yeah and Veener Schnitz you pic below your post is friggin hilarious. I laughed for a good 3 minutes on it.First of all, Stars has the worst deposit bonus ever ainec. I would make the initial deposit on Full Tilt because they're 100% bonus is better than the $50 or w/e happy meal crap Stars is offering. Also while you are clearing that bonus on FTP you are going to be making a good amount in rakeback. After you've cleared your bonus, earned rakeback, and hopefully made a profit playing, you can split some money between any other site you wish. -
Ok so in December I had cashed out my entire bankroll ($600) due to Christmas and two birthdays in the same month. So it's been roughly 3 months since I have played really any poker. In about 2-3 days I should recieve my income tax check, woohoo. After taking care of some bills I should roughly have $500 let for myself. My question is should I put it all on one site? I used to play on UB but have an account with Full tilt, Poker Stars, AP and Doyles room. I think the only account I actually put money into was AP so I am able to recieve the initial deposit bonus from the other sites. Which site should I put money on? I really want to keep track of all my wins and losses to see how I progress. Should I use something like poker tracker? Finally to build up my BR should I stick to one game only (just play 6 person sngs or 9) or is it ok to stick to a few things like MTT's and SNG's. Any help would be much appreciated.

Is anyone going to the Foxwoods Poker Classic from March 24 to April 9? Just curious to know maybe a group of us could meet at one of the bars. I don't know I'm just shooting things out. I figured it's a good way to get to know a few ppl on here.

So any thoughts??

The funny thing about that hand was that Serinda Swanson (a Guess Jeans model) was also at the table. Phil Helmuth said that he had to make sure she didn't do anything stupid. So when that girl folded AK it was the perfect time to end that table. Plus we were very hungry by that point in the day so right after that we broke for dinner. Lots of people had mixed feelings about that. I agree that it was a good fold.The chick that folded AK suited shouldn't have been eliminated, seemed like Duke had it out for her saying she's gone right away. She folded with a raise and a reraise in front of her. Plus she was out of position. I didn't think the fold was that bad of a play. Anyone else see this? -
lol I hope not. Actually when they came out he had only good things to say. The funny thing is the very next morning 12 of us got eliminated. But it was an amazing trip.GL and hopefully PH didn't call you a donk? -
interesting

I had a quick question about transfering funds to my UB account from AP. As you transfer and deposit from one site to another can you put in the reload bonus code as well or not? Thanks for the help.
-
Ok yes sorry for that I just really needed to vent that one out.

Ok so I enter into the 150k Qualifier and fold most of the time. I have some notes on a few people at my table and notice a they are definately playing aggressive. So this hand with 20-40 blinds I have 10s 9c. THE_GUN_SHOW - FoldsMERSALIS - Calls $40PUREDIRT - FoldsIR0NFIST - FoldsUSMC53E1 - Raises $80 to $80SHOWTIME_RI - Calls $80UDRYV - FoldsLARSLYKKE - Calls $60MTWEETY113 - FoldsMERSALIS - FoldsNow I know USMC53E1 to play very very dumb (from many previous games). and Larlykke I figure has Ace rags.*** FLOP *** [10c 3d 3h]LARSLYKKE - ChecksUSMC53E1 - Bets $160SHOWTIME_RI - Raises $520 to $520LARSLYKKE - FoldsUSMC53E1 - Calls $360Now I know if USMC had flopped a set he would have bet alot more than $160. *** TURN *** [10c 3d 3h] [3s]USMC53E1 - Bets $160SHOWTIME_RI - All-In(Raise) $870 to $870Having made a full house I figured even if he had a 10 it would be a split pot.USMC53E1 - Shows [Qs 4c] <----------- Whole calls a raise on the flop and an all in on the turn with Qs 4c???????*** RIVER *** [10c 3d 3h 3s] [Qc]USMC53E1 - Shows [Qs 4c] (Full house, threes full of queens) SHOWTIME_RI - Shows [9c 10s] (Full house, threes full of tens) This happened two days ago and I'm still trying to figure this one out. What is wrong with this world today when you have people like this calln with just a ridiculous hand and make it. Now I have had some bad beats but for some reason this one just tops the cake. What do you guys/gals think?

Mostly I play .10-.25 NL or $7-$20 buy in depending on mood.
