Welcomeeeeeeee and i have already said hello on stream and in your new journey so lets go!

Hello ,from Greece (Veroia city near Thessaloniki)...
My name is Alex and i am 32 years old...iplayed poker for the last 5 years but i play more carefully for about 6months...

I play micro stakes MMT and sometimes medium stakes..i never play cash...

POKER VIP love it!!!

We love you too! lol

Playing poker in Greece is not an easy thing to do afaik...where do you play and what restrictions are on you?

i used to play at the beggining at bwin ,poker.gr, pkr but then all of them shutted down
Then i start to play at pokerstars and by the time i start to achieve some things capital control arrives..:)

And now we are again on action .The big negative is the Taxes we pay when we win.(over 100 usd win we have taxes)

Hi Everyone,

Judy here. I have been around online poker and poker forums for many years. Looking forward to some good discussions and reads here. I see a lot of familiar names.

Hello @wingman13! I'm sure you'll like PokerVIP forums. We have a very tight, friendly and knowledgeable community here and I'm sure you'll be another great addition to it!

New to this site, hust thought I would introduce myself. Not much to say except Poker is a hobby...for now. I play when I can, mostly at under ground 1/2 tables around NYC, but looking to bump up to 2/5 soon. Family, my real job and my Military duty comes first, but the idea of going pro is getting real.

What % are the taxes? How are your winnings tracked by the government?

Hey welcome!

Loved chatting with you on Twitch and will look forward to some upcoming OPL events!

Woah woah woah you can't just drop in some underground games and not expand on it! This is what we see in movies lol.

How dangerous are these games? Are they often raided by thieves and police or are they actually pretty safe?

Hello everyone.

* My name is Steven and I have played poker for roughly 7 years.
* I am 29 years old.
* I play No limit Hold em.Cash games up to NL-100 on 888 and NL-50 on Stars.

I have played constantly for that time with the majority of my time spent being cash games.I played only on 888 and PokerStars just purely because they were the 'norm' when I started and were widely advertised. I've been aware of Rakeback and promotions for years but you can't get it on those afore mentioned sites.Through stubborness and perhaps just routine I stuck it out. I've never gone beyond Platinum Star and now with all the kerfuffle its just time for a change.The changes don't directly affect me massively but maybe a time for a change just in general to freshen things up.I had a good look around the deals and spoke with Live chat about what was probably best for me.I actually found you guys by chance but I am glad I did.We decided as our options were limited to go with PaddyPower.I will make a full blog in the journey section in the upcoming days.I live stream also so hopefully you can join me in moving up to the higher stakes as we go.I'm going to deposit 500 to see how the software is and I become acclimatised and then hopefully transfer all bankrolls after a few weeks.

If anyone is familiar with IPoker software, if there are any issues with it please let me know.I will be playing only cash 8 tables maximum.But 6 as a minimum so it needs to be capable ideally.Support said it is good but any fellow players reviews would be great.

I look forward to either seeing you around here,on my stream or at the tables.

Cheers.

Hello New world

@vanway Welcome to the site. I'm sure we have a few Spanish speaking people on the site. SO hopefully they see this and catch your stream!

@Chocino001 I used to love Ipoker. There is nothing better than signing in to Ipoker on Tuesday and seeing your rake back has went in. It makes a massive difference. I feel there are more regs at Ipoker, grinding the rake back, but it still has its fare share of special players. I'm sure Paddy Power is also part of the rake race? We'll look out for your journey!

@Cuber Short and sweet Welcome. What stakes are you playing and what site?

Hey buddy!

Welcome to the forum and will look forward to following your streams. Really nice speaking with you and I know we can do great work together.

Now that's what i call an intro!

Welcome to the site buddy and i am glad our support helped you find the perfect deal. Paddy are a big bookmakers so it;s a great choice. Not only is your money safe there but also the influx of sports bettors makes the games super soft.

Looking forward to your blog. How different is your win rates 888 vs stars? How much would the VIP changes there have cost you if you decided to stay?

Hello there new member! Who are you and where do you come from?

Hello mate

Yes i've not update my journey/blog since opening night so will put together my graphs and details and hopefully update shortly...but yes it seems spot on.Crazy soft to be honest at normal speed tables. I would say i've come across the sports bettors/gamblers but I'm not sure.These guys ive been playing,auto top every hand,full buyins where in my mind they wouldn't if they were there for fun purely.You never know though.

My winrates were massively different,888 despite the increased rake was around 13bb/100 over 700K hands, I will post them all in my blog if you'd like and compare the two. My stars winrate was around 6bb/100 over 820K hands. Ill update the journey now its probably easier to show in graph form.
