Does anyone know how many people are in the leagues? And has anyone won some good money off of league play? I like to hear your stories.

know theres been some members here playing them in the past
the freerolls are tough, lotta allin maniacs 1st half hr or so,
if you play tight abc poker, you'll get deep

which winning enough gets you in the premier league
much better $ to win, but still tough
and a month long commitment of playing well
Ive had a few small cashes but gave up (I have a bankroll so...)

I do enjoy the $1 buyin premier league qualifer games
good crowd and not too many entrants
almost like a CC game

Thanks for the promp reply. I have a few more questions for you micalupagoo if you have the time.

1. Where did you get the software to track all your games and chart it like you did?

2. should i be interested in staking individuals on here? Looks like it wouldnt be a bad idea.

1) I dont use anything, not sure what you saw exactly but its most likely
a) sharkscope.com
b) officialpokerrankings.com>>>both poker tracking sites
c) full tilts recent tourny history page
d) kcanucks spreadsheet he made for our group stake
others use HUDs like pokertracker or holdemmanager

2) its fun, and can be profitable (tho Ive been scammed too:()
watching some of CCs better players on big buyin games (especially when you own a piece) is exciting.
our group stake has 8 members now but a few others were in for some of it.
we all started at $5 each and are now at $90:D
there is also other staking sites like parttimepoker, which is all they do.

If you were thinking of trying it, start small, make sure the player has proven themselves trustworthy (most long term members here are good), you can research stats on the sites I listed above (1a/1b) and enjoy:)

I have played on both open skill league and premier skill league and have won more than 470$ over there.

This i'm playing the open league to qualify for the premier league , i have 1957 points and need to get over 2150 points to qualify.

Games in the open league are just bingo play in the begin, so i'm just playing premier hands aa and kk in the first hour.

For the premier league it's harder and you will find a nice players , it's a month play league so you have to be good over the hole month.

If you have any question ; don't hesitate :)

it is fun, and hopefully profitable;)

the staking section under general poker shows you wants going on at the moment
theres some great players here who do a package occassionally,
and others trying to do it more regularly.
long term members would generally be more trustworthy than a new member,
kinda have to use your own judgement I guess,
(its rare to be scammed but it can happen)
try a small one and see what you think,
I just started my next stake, or Id say ME ME ME;) lol

let me know if you want more info

if you have a bankroll
Id really recommend the $1.10 buyin for the premier league qualifiers
all buyin $ is given back in prize pool
usually only up to 100 players
solid game play
