if you played them on same day then you breached the new laws, it's £5 per person per day

From the gambling commision website:

Q. Can we play poker in our local pub?

The Gambling Act 2005 allows equal chance gaming (including poker), but introduces strict conditions for any gaming, including limits on stakes and prizes, and provides licensing authorities with powers to take action against individual premises in a range of circumstances.

The regulations set a fixed limit of £5 per game on the amount that may be staked by a player in any type of equal chance gaming in pubs and other premises with a bar. There is also a limit on prizes of £100 per day.

Which to me reads as £5 per game up to a maximum of £100.

Hold'em is proper poker, and that's the one most people tend to play

And what would you call 'proper poker'?

Draw poker? Seven card stud? Omaha?

No, only poker professionals do this. Horse is rather hard to become good at.

There are plenty of "cool" people who don't know how to play 5 different flavours of poker...

Got this a couple of weeks ago, shame I was playing play money, at the lowest possible stakes and I won a crap pot. But still.

I also have $23 in my account but am yet to enter my credit card details. Freerolls for the win. (why is the abbreviation of for the win censored?)

Sucks though, because min withdrawal from FT is $50.

I had $50, got to $83, withdrew $63, and then turned the remaining $20 into $200 playing $2 SNGs to start with, and gradually working up. Withdrew another $140 just now.

Fancy a small SNG sometime? Drop me an email or add me to msn if you do, it's not allowed to be arranged here

Unfortunately this is true.

We should start lobbying the dons. How about a high-class escort for Rotty to grease the wheels a little?

OK - I don't want to start an arguement/break the rules, but why is it banned on here?

Gilly said "That'd be seen as the establishment promoting gambling". It's never going to happen whilst the forum is associated with the shop.

Ah.

OK, well if you're interested, put your Facebook ID here and we'll get something going.

Just came 25th on the UK freeroll.

I raised with kings, someone re raised, I went all in. He had AJ. Flop was AQ2.
