    My dad does, he has won, nothing major, but he makes a bit.
    He enters the tournaments where it is a set amount to enter, and some can last several hours.
    Some just give you free entry into a bigger tournament, if youget through to the last dozen or so.

    A word of advice for everyone. Dont think you're preparing yourself for real money Poker by playing with pretend money as the dynamics of a game for real money are totally different.
    Debt as at 12th July 2006 - £61,345 :eek: :eek: :eek:
    Debt free 21st Oct 2011.
