Online Poker

Hey guys anyone playing for money still in the online poker world? If so what are you using?

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

Yep, still playing at Ultimate Bet. The player pool has increased quite a bit with players leaving from other sites that no longer allow US players.

Okay the question is then how do you add money to your account?

[Lathum]

Still playing on pokerstars. I use the paytru card but there are other methods. Alot depends on the site you are on or wanna be on.

We usually play on Ultimate bet.

I'm still playing a little bit on Full Tilt, but not depositing anymore. If you're from the US I wouldn't recommend getting in right now. Within a month I plan to be completely out of poker unless things change.

1.I'm still playing a little bit on Full Tilt, but not depositing anymore.
My bankroll doesn't require me to deposit anymore.

2. If you're from the US I wouldn't recommend getting in right now.
The state of poker in the US is uncertain right now. I've heard the news of some big names coming to the aid of online poker, but I don't know of any real progress. Besides that I don't like the depositing money online and not knowing if I will ever get it back.

This is a combination of a few things. I am sort burnt out on poker because of the regular grind. The US fish are leaving the tables because they lack ways to deposit. I remember sitting down at a $200nl game several months back and most tables were profitable. Now I sit down and sometimes see upwards of 6 winning players at a single table. You might say use better table selection, or play on the weekends, but the games in general are tougher and there is no argument against this. They are still beatable, but not the way I want them to be.

I guess overall I'm not dedicated enough to improve against the new poker landscape. I've beat $200nl for 5ptbb/100 over 100k hands now, but I think its time for a change. I don't want to eventually be stuck with 20k online that I will never see again. A lot of people want to keep trucking forward, but I want out before it ever gets to that point (if it ever does). If the US ever regulates online poker I might be back, but who knows.

I haven't given up on gambling all together. I've taken most of my poker money and now trade EMini's in the S&P 500. This is all part of my long term goal of never having to work a real job. ;)
