Hey guys, count me in. Sunday nights would be fine with me (9 p.m. ET or later). Friday and Saturday nights would be okay as well. I'm prefer no larger than a $50 buy-in, but I also would prefer we don't play no limit. I just don't like the all-in feature.
If you guys haven't already done so, you ought to check out this site:
www.freefiftydollars.com.
If you register there, they will give you $50 to play at partypoker.com. I signed up Friday morning, had my cash by Friday afternoon, and lost it all by this afternoon. But it was fun playing with their money.
There are conditions, of course. You can't cash the money out until you have played a minimum amount of 'raked' hands. In other words, you pretty much have to keep playing until you lose it. Obviously their goal is to get you addicted so you'll keep coming back and losing more money, but that's besides the point. But you don't have to give them a credit card or anything. You do have to give them a valid phone number, and they'll call you to confirm the number before they give you the cash. But it was really pretty easy, and it was a lot of fun losing their money. It was a good way to whet my appetite on this and realize that I won't make any money playing poker. It's just got to be for entertainment.
