I just made $15 in online poker at pokerroom.com - ask me anything

[mconvente]

WOOHOO!!! not bad for putting on $50 (only used $25 at the $.25-$.25 NL Hold'Em tables though) and getting $15 in about 2 hours - 2nd time playing online

1. What is the most

you've ever won playing on-line poker?

4. That's it for me walking away

That's how much I've made the most and then quit ahead. I've made about $25 in one hand before.

2. Have you ever recieved any of the winnings?

I hear about people winning but I never hear about them getting the money.

In an online account isn't the same as in your pocket.

5. good point

I haven't requested them yet, but I know about that. This site sends people to the WSOP (one of their players turned $33 into $330,000 via qualifiers and great play at the WSOP) so it's pretty legit. And I'd assume their deposit merchants are legit too unless they wouldn't be able to have pokerroom.com let them use their services. But thanks for the headsup - gotta be careful out there in Internet land, especially with poker and such.

3. My question is..

.... do you have the sense to walk away with your $15 and never play stakes poker again?

Well, do ya? :)

6. perhaps

I'll see if I can win a little more. If I play for 3 minutes and win $3, I'm done for the night. If I win a couple bucks a night (avg.) included with some bigger nights ($15+) and surely some losing nights too, I'd like to have around $300+ extra by the end of college. Cover some of a semester's worth of books, why not? I set limits for my account though on the site, so nothing out of control.
