I joined CC, apparently way back in 2014, because I wanted to join the freerolls but was "too lazy" to fulfill the requirements to do so.. Actually, I posted once and just gave up... I've seen the freerolls listed on pokerstars for years and years, honestly hoping that someone would let the passwords for them "slip" once or twice, but they never seemed to... So, recently since I've had the time, I finally pushed myself to post several times daily (which ended up being enjoyable, not just "work") and was accepted to the FRC. And now, enjoy playing the freerolls (as well as playing with more "serious players") and I'm happy to be part of the CC community. Hopefully, you guys find my posts to be interesting and insightful. I'm certainly trying my best!

by freerolls, it was like 5 years ago but it was one ago that I started to be constant and see the wonderfulness of the forum and quality of content so great, and I enjoy the experience of belonging to this great community

I won’t cheat initially I got here because of poker freerolls, but then I found a lot of interesting things here! In particular, nowhere in other forums can you easily communicate and ask questions to poker stars! There is also a lot of poker content and communication with poker players! I think that the SS will still surprise us in the future! Good luck to all!

I must admit Free-rolls was my first intention and reason for joining but to be honest I have found so much more to Cardschat. The Forum is both informative and helpful even some of the funnier post's make this lock-down more bearable,
The 30 day course has given me new insight into my game-play and although I sometimes slip back into my old habits, I still enjoy playing Poker and not for the money!
For me Poker is a game I enjoy simply because I am naturally competitive, I set my sights on getting to the final table in an MTT game, If I am able to make it then job done and I am happy, although I must say these days I see less Final tables down to the amount of players involved 4000 in my last one, but getting half way is not so bad.

Like most others it was for the freerolls after I noticed them in the pokerstars tournament lobby. However, since then, I've discovered all the other things on the forum such as the hand discussions, the 30 day course etc.

Good captioned question was stated as well as interesting subject to ask yourself what is keeping you still here since then?
It seems to me, for the majority of poker beginners with determination of achieving them aims, freerolls have been considered as the only start (base) point in their poker journey. So, what does keep hold of newcomer ahead to stick on Cardschat afterwards? Take me for example, from the beginning I deemed freeroll as income source to build my bank roll. Before long, I realized I had swapped one addiction (freeroll) for another (league) and in the long run I have been playing freerolls to find amusement in something related to real life people (chatting, joking, worldwide news, weather etc) but not only for poker game itself, hands analysis, poker math; for these purposes you can find related forum threads on the matter. The background of all told is welcome Cardschat community, it is when you want to say "Hi!" at the table to your current and -ex teams mates, fellows or rivals, pure and simple!

I joined years ago after getting back into poker. Was just looking for anything related and stumbled upon Cards Chat. Didn't even know what it was. I'd never used a forum before and just found it confusing, so I didn't even return to the site for nearly 5 years.
I eventually joined a poker Facebook group and they were talking about it, so I decided to sign up, only to realize I already had an account 😂.
I'm still not on too often, but I'm slowly learning my way around.

same, I joined for the freerolls. I later found out that cardschat is a great community and great place to learn poker.

wanted to be around like minded people. Also how do you check the comments people have made about your comments I would like to respond to any comments or questions about my comments. Is there a tab or a something that we can click to view our postings and see what people have said since we posted?

I was very interested in talking and learning more about poker every day, and I saw that all the members of cardschat are people committed to the cause.

Why I joined Cardschat
I voted Freerolls for why I joined but I could not vote for multiple reasons. I did it for all of the reasons but I do not know why "cake" was one of the reasons. I do enjoy a piece of cake now and then but to join Cardschat...that's a stretch.

I first join off the passwords but now it is more and I take part in the forum and check out other strategies and what other players do or play...
The password is not longer interesting..
For me it’s the forum and the members!

I used to belong to three or four forums long ago was mod on a couple of them. When black friday came i just got pissed and quit them all. I wanted to get back playing and found cardschat and its a great forum. You get to meet some nice people in forums. Still are friends online with people from my old forums.

Hi mclaughlinph,
You can set quote notifications on, so when someone quotes one of your posts you'll receive an email informing you with a link to the thread.
Have a look here...
https://www.cardschat.com/forum/new...dschat-tutorial-faqs-406723/post-4765153.html - (How do I change my notifications settings?)
You can find that link and others here... :wink:
https://www.cardschat.com/forum/new-members-corner-76/how-use-cardschat-tutorial-faqs-406723/
It's my understanding that is pretty much it in regards to notifications at cardschat, for now*...
Other than that you kinda just have to keep an eye on the topics you're interested in, it's helpful using the 'subscribed threads' link under the USER CP drop-down menu.
Regards.
*Watch this space...
~EDiT:- Btw, surely the poll is still perfectly valid and 'usable'. One could simply remove cake from the equation and the results remain valid. One could ask the cakers to also post one of the other three options in addition to their cake vote. Or in my opinion the characterful option is to use the poll data as it is.. :biggrin:

When participating in access to games on the forum, the availability of freerolls was taken into account. On the recommendation of a friend, I registered, gradually began to understand navigation, everything became funny, from training to communication, and even it came in handy for me. Glad to join, respect! Here, of course, most of them stop at the registration stage, there is no activity from them, I think that this will not happen to me, I am determined to maintain relations with the card chat, respectfully.
