I have heard the same thing -- however, Pokerstars only lets you make deposits/withdrawals in increments of $50, so I would consider this to be false.

Familyguy, are you referring to Ace-Eight? I love getting those cards.
For those of you who don't know the story, "Wild Bill" Hicock suffered a massive heart attack in 1873 after hitting a full house, aces full of eights. The starting hand of Ace-Eight was henceforth known as "Dead Man's Hand"

EDIT
I play a few hands here and there on the Facebook "Texas Hold'em Application", but not too much. I don't really like it all that much, pretty glitchy.

Wow I'm glad there are several others here that are just as interested in Poker as I am. I tend to not play anything.net because the idea of playing with free chips tends to ruin my game. Normally I think about what I'm going to do with each move, but when I play with free chips it doesn't matter THAT much if I were to lose the hand. So I just call, or raise.

I was up to 300k in play money, but now I'm currently waiting until I'm 18 so that I can try the real money games.
