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

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.

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? :-)

9 players have been sent invites so far
Log into pokerstars and join the AOF Poker Club using the Club ID and Invitation code that you have received via PM.
I have set up a tournament tonight for 7 pm. Please register right away as I have only 8 spots left. As we get more people I can run larger tournaments.
Hope you all have fun and that this is a fun thread...and yes Jamie...no bingo 
Cheers
Sun

Everyone that has asked to join either via PM or on this thread have been sent an invite. So far 4 are enrolled in the AOF Poker Club.
The first tournament starts at 7 pm today. You need to register in the AOR Poker Club section. To find the home games, look to the bottom right of the poker stars windows for the Icon. I believe you need to play from a computer versus an iPad, however open to be corrected on that point.
If you sign up for Poker Stars and get your free chips you should be able to play today. If need be, every 4 hours thereafter you can log into poker stars to collect 15,000 more free chips in order to play the next tournament.
If you need to learn poker...best we play for real money. LOL. Just kidding. Learn as you go and also poker stars has learning materials to review.
Whose excited!
Stepping out for a bit, when I return I will look for new people looking to join.
Thanks
Sun

80 min. and counting. I'm not a gambler but I'm betting this one will win. Every time I go fishing I'm gambling on a catch. Now it's time to fish for the gamblers

Come on people forget about the crap that is distancing you from some kinda fun. No money and might take your mind off of the crap that is amongst us. Everyone more than willing to put up over a thousand posts of speculation. Come have an hour or two of fun. Give your mind a break and play. All fun and free money. Don't even need a poker face lol 25 min and counting

Can you send a direct link to the AO poker table ? I seem to be having a problem finding it.
