withdrawing

over the last few month i have been working very hard on findinga system in which i can withdraw money from my poker.com account. i have both a neteller account and a click to pay account now. i had to use both as i won a 100 buks on island poker from a free 10 dollars i was givin not a bad score!!! i tried to get a cheque and did recieve it but my bank in new zealand westpac didnt let me cash it as it was in us dollars from a canadian bank so i still have 100 buks sitting there for my virgin deposit on poker.com hehe!500 depositor freerolls look out! My click to pay account is verified and i purchsed a click to pay card for 10 buks US. Probably the best thing i ever did on in regards to earning money haha. the click to pay card works just like an eftpos card any cirrus machines(most in new zealand) can accept the click to pay card. you just rock up and pull free money out of the hole in the wall its great!!! the money is instant and the fees are pretty reasonable!so far it has paid for my expensive hockey fees which is a great bonus! So anyone looking to withdraw i reccomend click to pay for poker.com. Only bad thing is not all poker sites accept click to pay deposits or withdrawls but who cares poker.com my main site does!!!

pokermates nz

the primary poker forum i belong to is poker mates nz. its a really cool forum which offers acces to a variety of different sites and freerolls and so on. we play together alot and are getting to know more and more kiwis who play online and live poker which is awesome. Masala is the site administrator and he puts in a lot of work on the site and offers us alot of good opportunities. being on a poker forum site is a wicked idea for anyone wanting to learn more about the game and meet new like minded people. Another cool thing about pokermates is it is all kiwis well mainly so we will sometime in the future probably cross paths in the poker world!which is cool as it is nice to put faces to names!oh well thats a lil bit bout the forum place i call home http://pokermatesnz.suddenlaunch3.com/ its an awesome wee community we have check it out sometime!

peace out

poker.com

poker.com is where all my poker playing began really. i downloaded it as a complete newbie of the game. i slowly learnt a few things and played a lot of play money to do so. i got up to 900k play money starting from 500 play money dollars it took about a month. Its amazing how much u learn in the first month or two. along with play money i played in th freerolls recording my positions in the 1st month my best placing was 56th. I quickly learned that patience is the only way to do well in these sorts of tournaments. i came 9th the first time i moneyed in a poker.com freeroll. i decided to play havana table and i made it up 2 25 dollars which i thought was pretty cool. After drinking i would come home and waste it on blackjack or on poker, needless to say i lost all my earnt money fast. A few months passed and many more hours of poker playing. i had a few more good results in freerolls but never have won one....yet ive came 2nd twice and 3rd too!i have never deposited into online poker but have been good enough to withdraw 380 dollars american which for a poor student aint bad at all!!well i dont think so anyway. i plan to keep learning by watching videos of pros and various other things you pick up along the way. fulltilt poker has a few good tips and hints which can help new players. And hopefully win more real money!!!!oh well thats me and my time at poker.com so far.il keep my wins posted as often as i can
