My biggest payday happened to be in SportsAction NFL over a decade ago. I did the max pick of six games, I included a couple of upset wins, which I got right, and also picked a tie (any NFL game within 3 points is considered a tie) and got that correct, too. A $5.00 bet cashed out at $1255. I sent my parents to an all-inclusive resort in the Bahamas for their 24th wedding anniversary.

My biggest winnings in my poker history, were involved in a game of strip poker in a basement years ago....

Holy balls, that's a nice cash!

Yeah, you can't deposit from bank accounts/credit cards anymore. I deposited a small amount several years back, but I had to like send a Western Union to some dude in Latin America. It was sketchy and weird. It worked, but I won't do it again.

I'm just trying to build a little money through free rolls right now and enter some cheapies.

Full Tilt actually has a great $1,000 guaranteed tourney for 10 cents entry every day at 5:30pm. The best part is its a rebuy/add on for 50 cents. I love rebuys b/c the worst players are the ones that rebuy and better yet, they do it when they're usually behind already. It's not a huge prize pool, but for 10 cents - you have a legit shot at hundreds of bucks. Which isn't a lot, but it lets you build a stack that you can then enter some legit tourneys.

I deposit from checking to Full Tilt all the time

I host an annual charity game to benefit the American Cancer Society. It has two benefits: 1) It normally raises over a grand for cancer research. 2) I normally at least place, beating lots of my brother's accountant friends in the process.

Johnny Chan still high on the chip count in the World Series. I would like to see him get his 3 Main Event win. He seems like a decent dude.

O... M... F... G...

Worst I ever took was when I had trip kings by the flop, pushed all in and this fool called me with a pair of fours. Then he caught the other two fours running...

I actually stopped playing for a few months after that.

I got pocket kings beat by a 6 7 offsuit once.
Unfortunately I was the one who was relatively short-skacked, so it ended my day

seriously, who the fuck calls with 6,7

My worst loss was when I had pocket aces Vs pocket jacks. Flop was Ace and 2 Jacks. I lost 300 dollars on that hand and it was live in a casino not an online beat. I was sick.

To make it worse, the bad beat jackpot was Aces full of queens so I didnt even get that.

Do you do it through the eChecking thing? I haven't been on in awhile and you used to only be able to do credit card/check card transfers, which were then blocked after they passed the federal legislation banning electronic transfers to gambling sites form American bank accounts. But maybe the eCheck thing is a loophole. I'm curious to know more, keny.

People who play a lot on their iPhones and the web. Some people do the craziest stuff. And it just makes you sick when they hit.

I sat one out once and my buddy had pocket jacks and pushed in. Guy called him with 2 / 5 off suit. Fucker backdoored a straight. Flop was A / 3 / 10. Turn was a four.

You just gotta shake your head sometimes. Worst part is the guy probably thought "Hey, I'm pretty good at this".

Ouch. How long did you have that "YEAH!" feeling before you realized it?
