I have created a Home Game on Poker Stars with the goal of having an on-line tournament for the whole of ECCIE. You can register by viewing my profile which will show you the Home Game info. Attached is a poll to show what day works best for you. Once I get enough feedback I'll schedule the tournament.

Texas hold em?

Of course but we may do Pot Limit Omaha in the future if this goes well.

Ok iv never been on poker stars I used to use another site, do the online sites allow you to use $$ now? Because before the bust administration we used to be Ble to use $ then after it went to only play-chips. Is it back to where online sites are allowing us in the U.S to use $?

No the ones in the USA do not. However if you have your server in Panama you can play and then wire the money to your Panama bank account. You then go to the country ( a $ 400 ticket) and bring the actual money you withdraw from the bank with you. If it's over $10,000, you pay taxes on it.

I know a lady that has an online casino. There are a great deal of loopholes you can get through. USA is close to allowing online gaming now that they see all the money is going overseas and to other countries.

Be careful if you do. Keep it underground. The laws are tough on it. A Houstonian recently got 40 years over it. Here's some stuff to read.
