I too like the CC freerolls. I don't actually get to play too many of them, but it's nice knowing that they are there. I'm really enjoying the Summer League. Everybody seems to take the League games very seriously.
The VIP games are of less interest to me since they require a little more advance activity, and they tend to be on weekends.. Although, I really enjoy the discussions that earn VIP points. They seem to be a little meatier, and even though I don't really use the VIP points, I like earning them. That's all a bit odd I guess, but it is what it is.
I don't read or participate in the poker hand specific discussions. I probably should I guess, but I find them kind of boring. I mostly get involved in political, general poker, and other Hangout discussions all of which I quite enjoy.
My philosophy toward poker in general is to try to improve a little at a time. I'm finding watching my teammates' games in League to be quite useful in that regard, probably because I have a stake in the team's outcome.
I guess I'm not the typical Cardschat member.
