Default Official Online Fun Poker Club

Hi all.

I’m going to set up a poker club for AOF members.

Only thing you need to do is set up your pokerstars account. You get free play money chips. Every 4 hours you can log on and get another $15,000 free chips. Going to make it 20,000 free play chip tournaments. Announce time on this thread.

Program does all the tracking for games won etc.

This is for fun and play money bragging rights. I want people on that want to try and win but won’t fly off the handle if they lose. I don’t want bingo poker...all ins.

You can join to learn or know the game...doesn’t matter.

Let’s get our mind off the world’s problems and onto play money poker!

So get your account in order. You don’t need to buy chips but that is up to you.

Post if interested and/or ask questions. Pretty simple premise however. Competitive but free.

Cheers. Sun

Great idea! Help keep some of the cabin fever down.

There will be information to join shortly as we see how many are interested. I played a tournament game with another group the other day and it worked well and was lots of fun.

Default AOF Poker Club

Ok.

Seems to be enough interest to try this out.

I have set up a new club in Pokerstars.

Simply go to Pokerstars.com and download and set up your profile. We are playing play money so you don't need to pay any money for this. It is all free except my time setting this up. LOL.

You will start off with some free chips. Then after each and every 4 hours passes you can click Collect in the Cashier, under play money for your free 15,000 in chips.

A tournament will cost 20,000 with two buy ins and one top up to start. I may change that depending. I will start with 10 min blind intervals for a faster game and move to 15 if we have interest. At 15 min blinds it takes 5 hours for a game...full time for the last two players obviously, less if you get knocked out. I will post games on this thread. Please PM me if you want to be in the club. To keep a handle on who is in I will then pass along the Club ID # or name with the log in password.

Cheers y'all.

Sun

P.S. Maybe AOF can offer a hat to the person with the most points in a month? :-)

I'll bite. I'm a sucker for punishment. Being free is for me.
I am on Poker Stars already but been trying to play online and nothing comes up. It just says there are no games available at this time. I do the free play money only. Will send a pm SUN

I can easily add new games. Just need to know which day of the week works best and what start time.

If people don’t sign up it seems to default to getting cancelled.

Just let me know.

Cheers

Sun

I would be interested in a 7PM start - Tuesdays and Saturdays are no good - but any other day I would likely join some games ..... and continue my domination !!!!

Ok. I will set up a game for Wednesday at 7 pm.

Those who are part of the group from before should get emails. Others interested in joining need to message me and I will pass along the link and password

I will set one up. No problem. Just need to know best time and date. Reoccurring or one time.

Let's try a one time and see if we get a response. I could go a bunch of times for sure. Everyone better top up every 4 hours with coins

I’ll set one up for Sat night and see who shows up. Folks should watch for a Pokerstars email.

I wish it worked on the mobile app. I’d be in for sure if it did.
