No clue as of yet, it'll probably get bigger, I believe the buy in is $50+5.

It will defintly get bigger. There's no way you can buy-in for $50 and win $6,000. I got the same deal as you, but on Poker Stars and by the time the tourney started there was a few hundred people.....Good luck man and post up results...

Oh I know it will get a lot bigger but Empire tourneys usually stay small, hence why I like playing on Empire. PokerStars tourneys are HUGE!

And yes I will post the results as I am playing.

[PantySniffer]

Yea PokerStars is pretty bad. I just put a $100 in a Full Tilt acct. I've only played 1 tourney and went all-in pre-flop w/ JJ, and was called by th BB who had A,A and I obviously lost...:lol: I might try out Empire if Full Tilt doesn't get any better...

[ericmichael]

FullTilt sucks, just letting you know now. I placed in a couple tournies on there but it's been all down hill from there. I cashed out. If you sign up on Empire, sign up under me, please! :D

[ericmichael]

Tournament starts at 9pm, I can feel the win already. If you want to watch, download Empire from www.empirepoker.com and AIM me. :D

[ericmichael]

15 minutes, getting ready to go!

[Miles]

so how the fuck did you do?

[ericmichael]

Not good, came in 50th, 30th paid.

No cards the whole tourny, my AQ of spades ran into AK, I had to push I only had 6xbb and was going to bubble soon. I will win another seat for next week if I can find time.

Thats poker though. :D

Your right, Full Tilt sucks balls...There's never any open seats and the waiy for tourneys is ridiculous...How does Empire compare to PokerStars? Is there always seats open? I like playing cash games more than tourneys..

Yes Empire always has open seats in the ring games.

What do you suggest as the best online site to start out on with money. I have been reading all I can on poker, have watched EVERY episode of poker on EVERY channel that host it. I know what I am talking about with regards to poker and do well on the free games via party poker.net. However, want to see how I do with realy $$$. Suggestions?

Honestly if you're first starting out with online poker for real money, start on PokerStars and play the penny or nickle tables so you can get the feel for real money. I do not suggest depositing $50 and playing @ a 25NL table.

You will not make money in the begining playing @ penny/nickle tables but it teaches you A LOT about the game.

Let me know if you need more help.

Cool, thanks.

Cool, thanks.
NP.

But this thread has run it's course, that tournament sucked balls.
