I am an avid poker fan. I have been following the game for over 10 years, long before it became a national sensation on TV. I am actually watching the 2008 World Series right now and thinking about how different it is now compared to then. I mean sure Phil Hellmuth is a great player and bracelet holder; however, the field was under 500 then compared to over 6,000 for the last three years.
I play poker online and also play in home games. We do a $20 tournament to start with about 20 people and then switch to a cash game afterwards. It is a great past time and is a great way to kill time also. Just be careful that you don’t stand up your friends because you are on fire online. I play Poker Stars & Full Tilt, especially the first because of PokerStars Rakeback.
When you setup an account, search online for a PokerStars Bonus Code so you can receive some extra cash for your deposits. The PokerStars Bonus is one of the most generous and will keep your play lasting longer.
