I used to play on Pacific Poker, but stopped because I got bored playing with strangers. I have read your blog often josh, at least I would only be a stanger to you, not vice versa. That is if you would want my “dead money”. I’m good to play in this. I used to play on Pacific Poker, but stopped because I got bored playing with strangers.

Previous experience with Poker clubs, even proved hard to get people to do $3 buy-ins.<br /> <br /> Maybe we could do a bi-monthly freeroll, and a bi-monthly buy in. We would just have to gauge interest, etc… The usual. I will get in contact with the people at UltimateBet about setting up a tournament.

I prefer small-ish tournaments with small buy-ins—free games are often a bit ridiculous. I think something like a $10 or $15 buy-in once or twice a month would be doable by a lot of people. But, I’d still be more than happy to play if you decide to do it for free! :)<br /> <br /> This is something that Josh, our friend Kevin, and I try to do on a monthly basis. It helps solidify our play, and we learn off of each other. It’s pretty fun, and of course $10 isn’t all that bad either. I play regularly, and I’d be all for it.

You bastard! :)<br /> <br /> Tim: It is a private club, and available by invitation only. We only invite people with who we have played poker with for quite some time, and know well. Play in some games with us online (ultimatebet, or pokerstars) and we will see if you are worthy :) Sam: Don’t make me start a debate of “wasted hours at Halo 2” :)

I wasn’t aware that people were starting to play in groups on a regular basis online. CvilleHoldem, where do you arrange/play the games for your online club?

I have to say when it first started he was “dead money” but his play has consistenly improved to where he can hold his own now in any of our tournaments. Good job Josh!
