Teams - Why?

edited April 2012 in Team Talk
What do poker teams actually do, and what are the benefits of joining one? I didn't even know that poker teams existed until I saw this section of the forum.

    There is an ignore Hitman button????  Why have you not told me about this before??

    Oh by the way evilpingu another advantage of being in a team is giving and receiving some stick from other teams members.

    Now where the heck is this button? I am going to need it this month with Hitsquad scraping the league title.

    Beware of ppl bearing gifts there will be a catch they may have won the dtd a couple of times but only because team 51 regulars have been away having a rest at their clinic. even so their night watch man was the overall winner last month for the second time or was it the third, are well don't matter really, oh and how can you trust a captain that wears pink shoes. i rest my case.

    Completely agree with Dave...

    Poker it's not about the money for most of us...We play because we love the game and the banter the games involves...

    The Forum DTD tournament is by far the best tournamet on Skypoker for recreational players like most of us...

    Team51 is more than a poker team...We are friends...We are buddies...We care and support each other...I will never forget the support I got from the team when my grandma passed away last month...

    I haven't met each member face to face but I feel like I have know them for years...

    Good luck with your choice, if you decide to join a team...
