ClubWPT - Club WPT Poker

I noticed that Club WPT has legal poker for US players and is offering a two-week free trial to play in poker tournaments with cash prizes.

At ClubWPT poker there are no buy-ins to play in their poker tournaments, and as the caption states at the top of their site, it's "100% Legal, No Deposits, No Buy-Ins, No Risk!"

Basically, Club WPT poker is a club for US poker players and players from around the world. You can play for two weeks and then opt-in to their club, with monthly, quarterly or yearly club fees.

Their monthly club fee is just $19.95 and you get a discount for the quarterly and yearly fees:
"Quarterly at $53.85 for 3 months. (A savings of 10%.)"
"Annually at $179.40 for 12 months (BEST VALUE: A savings of 25%.)"

Club WPT poker has legal poker for US players, but some states are restricted from playing at ClubWPT, and those states are; Alabama, Idaho, Michigan, Montana, Missouri, South Dakota, Arkansas, Indiana, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Washington, Georgia, Maryland, Mississippi and South Carolina.

Hopefully the above mentioned states will soon be allowed to play online poker for real money.
We'll have to wait and see what the US Congress has up their sleves, whenever they decide to pass an online gambling bill for US players.

I *was* a member there for a few months and won $125, so I can vouch that they payout quickly.

The only issue that I have with them is the "free poker" mentality. It's either many of the players on the site are totally stupid, or they've never played a hand in their life. You've got people calling pot bets with bottom pair, calling all-in bets with something like middle pair, etc.

You're thinking "wow, I should get in on that," but the fact of the matter is, it's more frustrating than anything when you keep getting sucked out on with some stupid hand like 73os or whatever.

So basically if you don't mind either idiot players or newbies, go for it. Else, be prepared for frustration.

Thanks for that tid bit of info on Club WPT, beaston.

Yeah, I would probably like the fact that not many players know what they are doing and you can probably win a lot of pots...
But like you said, when they go all-in on a bust hand and you lose to it, that is frustrating.
