So my cousin wants to play some poker online to try it out and maybe earn a few bucks. I know you have to be 18 to make a deposit and all that but is he allowed to play if I transfer him money? How about freerolls?

He just turned 16 and I know everyone can play play money but I dunno how the legislation goes for transfers/freerolls for underage people. State is Virginia btw

Thanks

He's certainly not allowed to play.

I don't think that's ever stopped anyone, though.

i've been playing online since like 14, all you have to do is click that you're 18 and have you transfer him money
how reasonable is it to eat off wood instead of your tummy?

If he ever wants to withdraw money just do it for him. In all honesty I wouldn't worry about it because he will probably get pissed off very quickly and stop playing, being 16 and losing alot of money at one time can start a rollercoaster of rage.

Lets totally do this! If it doesn't work, I lose $5. If it works, I earn $2.50! I thought the earning amount had to be larger than the losing amount if it is equal probability? haha Terrans and their evil ways

I would rather buy booze for a homeless guy with a promise he will pay me back from his panhandling profits, than give money to a new poker player expecting to ever get it back.

If you play on FTP the rake is deadly for microstakes SNGs, even though they lowered it a couple of days ago. The winrate required to sustain your bankroll on them is not reasonable at all! I think it is easier on Stars overall. So stay away from SNG on Full Tilt!

Cash game wise it is probably close. Stars has no rakeback, but a VIP program that gets better and better as you move to higher stakes but starts pretty lame. It is also true that FTP rakes 6.6% on micro cash games as opposed to 5% in higher than NL10 so it is not a haven for small time players either even if you consider rakeback options. But I don't play on both big sites so I can't really compare.

I freerolled to 18$(got second in a Romania Freeroll once and a few more cashes) then I immediately started playing NL2 despite low bankroll coz I wanted to catch a few days of the Take 2 promo(got 5$)

As for giving you money, no. Too risky for me. I make 1 buy-in per 400 hands at NL2 6max so I have better options than buying someone's action.
I'm posting on twoplustwo because I have always been amazed at the level of talent that populates this site --- it's almost unparalleled on the Internet.

Thanks for a helpful reply. I still think it's funny that none of the discussions have to do with the OP anymore but it's all good...

I haven't even thought about rake for SnG, that's a really important thing to know, I think I will definitely be playing on Stars from now on. Thanks!

I wish I can freeroll too but damn it's hard. Does Romania get 7500 full entrants too? I always start getting dominated around the 100s due to huge stack holders just shoving me with everything and somehow hitting a lucky flush on the river and what not -_-
