poker? i hardly even know her!
So I deposited on Poker Stars this weekend. After all, I did win my WSOP seat there, I should pry donate to the pool at some point. One good thing for anyone that has been thinking of depositing there, they are running a 100% sign up bouns up to $50. And after googling a bit it seems that Poker Stars doesn`t usually do this. So, from the first of September to December 31st you can get this. The promo code is FirstSep2006, and it is also listed on their website.

Anyhow the hubabaloo was that there were super soft HORSE and RAZZ games on the site, since these are new to the site and people aren`t exactly sure how to play them. Well, I tried RAZZ first, and was among my poker peers. Very few fish. But I`m told this was a freak accident. So, I`ll try again at some point and let you know.

The HORSE ring however I found to be VERY soft. The first table I sat at I was sitting with "felicialee" who is also a poker blogger/player. Of course I wasn`t totally sure it was her, anyone could have used that nick, but when I hovered over her nick for location info it said, "No chat, sorry" so I am assuming it really was her. I ran her and everyone else at this table over by simply playing premo starting hands. It was very different since there was no blind pressure.

They also have $3 sngs as opposed to the $1 sngs on FTP. But unlike the FTP sngs I have yet to win one. I did come in 3rd in a HOSE last night that I entered on accident and thought I was sure to get pummeled in since I usually accumulate chips during the RAZZ round. One thing of note tho, these $3 sngs are ALL TURBO. Ya, HORSE turbo style.. quite interesting.

One last thing... this site has A HELLALOT of Omaha 8 tables. WOW starting at ONE CENT TWO CENT. I had no idea. They are always full and always running. I`ve been sitting at .10/.20 tables with $4 and doubling it up no problem. I`ll keep moving up as I go, and get used to the software.

All this being said, I`m still losing on this site. It is because of the sngs I`ve played and not monied in. I am down about $20 from my initial deposit. So, I do well at sngs on FTP and better in ring on PS, this could be a happy relationship!
