XI Wiki
I was wondering if there was any interest in starting a BG Poker League over on Pokerstars using their Home Games feature. We could set-up a weekly tournament and open up some cash game tables that only BG members with the password could get in to. If there's interest then we'll probably do a poll to see what buy-in would be the most popular and would have the most people participate. So, if you're interested, post in this thread and I'll get the league started.

OK. I went ahead and made the league. Send me a PM and I'll send you the info. If you are signing up for Pokerstars for the first time use the code STARS600 and you will get a 100% first deposit bonus (so if you deposit $150 you can get $150 back for free as soon as you play enough). If you already have an account and need to re-deposit you should use the code HOMEGAMES and you'll get a free $5.50 home games ticket and a 25% deposit bonus of up to $150.

Oh that sounds like fun, but I don't think my bank lets me deposit into online poker sites anymore

They have an echeck system that I believe works with any bank. I've never had any problems with it, at least. Originally Posted by Anso

Sorry, this is wrong. I used this for a year, and as of last month. E-checks in my state, CT, no longer work.. I would LOVE to play, but I have no way of putting money in now. Originally Posted by pohibaba

Ah, I apologize then. This is why we need legal and regulated online poker in the United States. Shit shouldn't be so inconsistent. Originally Posted by Omnipotent

So....I'm good for any day of the week play time...and I'd think a $20 buy in is reasonable, depending on how many people we get

You can not use VISA, your bank cards, paypal, etc for funding online poker - echecks are your best bet.
I'll play any 20-100$ buy in tournaments as well as NL cash games of .5/.10 up to 1/2

PLEASE NOTE:
If you are a visa card user and use the deposit visa option, there is a chance they will lock your card due to violations of TOS for using their card to fund online gambling. You have to go through this whole process of calling them and speaking to someone to have your card usable again.
Use the eCheck option.

Apparently we can only have 5 cash game tables at once. I tried to spread them out over full ring, 6-max, and a heads up table and over reasonable limits. If there's something else you'd like to see tell me what it is and what you recommend I take out to accommodate it.
