    I am addicted to Texas Hold'em. I watch it whenever I get a chance on TV and I play on Partypoker.com :)

    I stopped playing poker when I realized that I was financing everyone else at the table. Consequently, I never visit gambling sites; nor do I link to them in my directories.

    I used to play some free tables but that was wasting too much time and brought no profit. Got bored.

    I downloaded goldenpalace the other day and play slots with fake money. I'v e lost about $200k in fake money so far LOL. I think doing that is more than enough cure for gambling :)

    I play texas holdem on party poker sometimes too. I think I've lost $100 in real money there, but I'm way up in my free account. Its so boring though. And people are soo damn slow at doing anything.

    I play poker online 4-5 days a week, and i am loving it :)
    It is possible to make money on playing poker, it is not easy, but it is possible.

    My first advice is to start playing at small stakes LIMIT table's, when plaing NO-limits, you need to know what youre doing, or you easy can loose your stack.

    My second advice is to read books about poker strategies, you will be amazed about how much strategies ther is in poker, it is NOT a game of luck, it is a game of SKILL. And the more your play and read, the more skill you get.

    it is no accident that the same players are to find at the last tables in the WSOP year after year.

    If you want help to become a better player, feel free to PM me, and you will get some starting articles, tips and hints from me.

    Poker IS FUN!

    I do. I play at Poker.com. I tried the others but I think I prefer Poker.com's interface better, although they can all look almost similar.

    I play with play money tho. They give you $500 free play money per day. You lose it...there's no way u getting anymore until the next 24 hours. Another thing I like about them is, every 3 hours they have a tournament where you can enter for free, and the winner will get $100 real money.

    One of the things I like is, even though I dont use real money, Poker.com actually lets us "play money" players go for play money tournaments...it's fun...that's why I only play there nowadays.

    Cheers

    I just came back from the Party Poker Millions cruise...had a great time, and I attended a seminar about the upcoming changes to Party Poker....I think we will see some good things in the near future.

    mostly about upgrades to their software, as well as promotions and bonuses.

    They really seemed like they were interested in improving their product.

    A lot of rooms do use the same software and different graphics, just called skins.
