Fishnchipz.....once you enter the ppa freeroll you are enrolled in the PPA...it's all a numbers game...

You will then get requests to donate 20 dollars for a free poker calculator...

Good luck, Wonka. Got to keep the streak alive. I made it to round 2 in this earlier in the week. Even if I win another $20, I'll still be behind your $60.

HOW DO I JOIN THE PPA? I tried "ppapoker.com", and didn't see a join section- only links to PokerStars, which I am already on. Thanks

I think the ppa started over the weekend, I did play mine a few days ago unless I am mistaken, and fishinchipz goto tournies, regional and it should be listed there, gl
It is on the stars website, so ppa.com will not work

Are you guys playing in multiple tourneys of the same kind? I played in one Draw tourney a couple days ago and now when I try to register for another, it says each person may only play in one tournament of each kind?

Wow, people really have no idea how to play draw poker.

After missing last week's Can vs US game (stupid, stupid), I played my first game of online Draw Poker, and made it to the 2nd round game. Honestly, I was the only one at my table betting preflop for the longest time. I also got dealt a full house, which I'm guessing doesn't happen very often in draw.

That makes $20 in winnings so far, so I'm really liking these freerolls. Hopefully, I can win a seat on Team canada and guarantee myself a cool $500.

[dontwannawin]

well, i busted out kinda early in the draw tourney. never have been very big on draw anyway. missed the cash by bout 100 spots, i think. shoulda just sat out after the 4th or 5th hand when i had doubled the starting chip count, but thats what i get for being the ultra aggressive one at my table.

[sketchpad]

it is a pretty easy 5 bucks since as usual there are the fair share of fools out there, but why only play to place, make the top 30

[IamBP]

Well in the NL Hold'em tonight it says I busted in 50th place and apparently only 49 people are moving on.





Edit:

Turns out I was wrong. I just checked my e-mail and here is what it said:
Dear IamBP,

You finished the tournament in 50th place.
You qualified to play in Tournament #109484148 and are automatically registered for it.
See Tournament #109484148 Lobby for further details.


In addition a $5.00 award has been credited to your real money account.

Three people were eliminated on the last hand I think. I must have had the most chips. I got pretty lucky cause I made some bad mistakes when it was under 75.
