Why did you choose this one over the WPT site?

I'm just comfortable with their layout. Didn't have to download any poker software, and already have a relationship with a few players there, like I do here. Might do WPT down the line, if I do OK with this one.

good job! Seems like a lot of grinding. I just want to sit down at a 6 player cash game and gamble away. This site offer me what I want?

Cool man.

On a similar site like this, is where I cut my teeth with poker.

It's a good site to learn, understand the basics of the game, and not have to worry about getting hurt financially.

Good luck.

Save the $17 bucks a month KLC. These sites are considered sweepstakes. You can join them free. This one is taken from clubWPT.com

5) You do not need to become a VIP member to participate in tournaments. Alternative means of tournament entry. OFFLINE, NO-PURCHASE-NECESSARY, METHOD OF ENTRY: As an alternate means of entry into Club tournaments, a player must:

Register as a free player and download and install the Software; and

For each period that you want to participate in Club tournaments, each player must send a 3 inch x 5 inch card on which the player has legibly handwritten their Username, First and Last Name, Complete Mailing Address (e.g. Street, City, State, ZIP code), Email Address, and Date of Birth. Each card must be placed in a single separate envelope, and mailed to 1920 Main St., Suite 1150, Irvine, CA 92614. Multiple cards in a single envelope are not acceptable. If multiple cards are sent in a single envelope only one card chosen in our sole discretion, will be processed. Kentucky residents may request postage reimbursement by writing "Please reimburse postage" on the 3 inch x 5 inch card. Reimbursement will be in the form of one first-class U.S. Postal Service postage stamp. No photocopies, reproductions or facsimiles of the 3 inch x 5 inch card are allowed. The usage of a service to provide the production of the 3 inch x 5 inch card will not be allowed.

For each individual registration, the Player will be given a 30-day period of VIP Membership to the Club. The period will begin on the Monday following the day the mail-in entry is processed.

Approved mail-in entries will receive Tournament Points and Play Chips in accordance with Section 1.4 above or will have access to any Tournament Points they have accumulated in the past if greater than 500 Tournament Points and any Play Chips they have accumulated in the past if greater than 20,000 Play Chips. Tournament Points and Play Chips accumulated during previous periods will remain with the player's account.

We will post a listing of all upcoming tournaments in the game lobby. The game lobby is viewed by accessing the Software and clicking on the tournament game links.

We shall not be responsible for late, lost, illegible, incomplete, stolen, misdirected, mutilated or postage-due mail. We will advise you of your eligibility dates by email. The odds of winning any prize will be the same by mail in entry as by online VIP membership in the Club. The odds of qualifying through a qualifying tournament will be the same by mail in entry as by online VIP membership in the Club, and all participants entering through this means will be accorded equal opportunities to participate and win in events held at the Club, and will depend on the number of entrants.

Played in a $1000 tourney tonight where the first prize was $300. Came in 4th place out of 1400 players. Ended up landing $100 tonight! It might not be a lot to some of the higher rollers here, but it still felt damn good to come out with some money on only my 3rd day after joining. I came out at #146 out of over 1300 players in the same tournament last night. I don't know if I'm getting better, lucky, or if all these guys on that site suck, but I'm going to bed happy tonight, nonetheless.
