Man, if we're talking about that, I won at least 225K each of the last three days! ;)

I won a REAL $20 last night against some friends, I usually suck so they were all shocked :)

Yeah...if I could afford it, I would. Unfortunately, when your wife gets a new job, things get tight.

Money-wise, I mean.

Well, I was up 50k overall in the four hours I played which, for me, I thought was pretty good. Especially having started at 1k.

I lost it all in one hand, though. I had the king high flush, the other guy had the ace though. :(

I guess it's a good thing it wasn't real money.

I had almost given up on pokerstars free play, since the games are so unrealistic. I've been trying some of the free sit-and-go tournaments, though, and they're not bad. You still get unrealistic play, especially early on when everyone wants to either double-up or start a new tourney. But once you get about a half-hour in people have invested enough time that they play at least somewhat normally.

I still have alot of fun. It is somewhat unrealistic just because of the simple fact that it isn't real money, but once you've got time invested and a decent base of play money things get interesting.

I find things are more realistic at the higher blind tables.
