    I would be interested in running a poker site but my gambling skills aren't good enough to make a living actually playing.

    I guess I wasn't specific enough :p This happens every 3 out of 4 hands. I get burnt 75% of the time AT LEAST.

    I used to make a decent amount playing online poker. Bush kind of shut down online gambling in the United States. It can still be done, but now it's more illegal and actually enforced a lot more.

    If you feel like taking a chance on online poker, the good news is that you can make money with it. Lots of people just play for fun, but if you want to make money you can't be one of them. If you're playing for money, it's a much more boring game, with a lot of folded hands. That's really the key. I played Texas Hold'em, and you have to fold most of your hands pre-flop. By only playing the top 10-15 starting hands, you will come out ahead in the long run. The bad news is that you have to have the bankroll to cover your mistakes and bad luck in the short run.

    You also need to learn how not to tilt. When anger takes over you might as well just give them your bank details. If you feel like you are tilting you should walk away and thats the hardest part.

    I started off with $0, played a few Freerolls and managed to win like $1++, and after 1.5yrs of playing it, I think I withdrew more than 40k USD from my neteller account : ))

    Not a bad time actually.

    But I stopped Online Poker after spending way too many hours grinding the tables.

    PLaying TIGHT and AGGRESSIVE works great on low / middle tables.

    I have a friend who started with the free $5 you get for signing up and hasn't stopped since.

    He has won about 8K and he's getting better and bigger every day

    I play online poker and have been for 3 years, im currently running a site and making money online at low limit levels isn't that hard.

    There are tons of articles on strategy and how to play etc but as always the best form of learning is practice.

    If anyone is currently interested in promoting online poker rooms or looking to play at a new online poker room then hit me up via PM and we'll work something out so that you get something a little extra than what everyone else is offering ;)

    I thought it was not allowed by PayPal's side, they are strict against gambling. You might get your PayPal account frozen.

    Wow, both weird and good news. It is good that they accept PayPal because I have been looking for a poker site that accepts PayPal. In the other hand, I remember PayPal freezing accounts even directory owners just because having gambling category in their sites :confused: By the way, I am gonna signup on BetFair so if they have something like suggestion, I can signup with your reference.

    You can use this code during the registration process: 6CK3V7AMH

    I think you get something out of it as well. Thanks!

    I like it as well because you can use the money straight away. Instead of waiting for 4 working days for the money to get to your account i can cash out and buy something on Ebay the same minute.

    If someone paid me to have sex 8 hours a day i would probably lose the interest in it too...



    I guess with poker you can always move up the table and play higher stakes.

    you never know.. there are lots of really hot milfs :D Try enrolling into male escort services :d


    Yeah but it gets real tough, newbies rarely play on tables with high antes, so you'll get to play with the real pros and it would be much harder to profit :rolleyes:


    P.S.: the last two points :p sorry heh forgot it's in general chat :eek:

    Dammit, betfair does not accept Turkey currently. I wonder if it would be a problem if I mentioned my location as somewhere else. Would it effect me at payments or such? Since I am gonna get paid via PayPal, I think it shouldn't be a problem.

    yeah, but the teens wouldn't pay for that :D

    lots of rich people there, but also lots of pro's fishing for them. So you'll end up playing with some newbs and pro's at one table anyway.

    I know the industry. Actually I have a translation company exclusivily for the industry.

    I recommend to you, if you want to try online poker rooms first at all check carefully where you are entering and try the free rolls, the best way to learn
