The Texas Hold 'Em areas are set up as "cash games" -- with maximum bets of $12 pre-flop and On The Flop. The maximum is $20 on the turn and the river.
Yahoo gives you $1000 just for showing up. As of this writing, I stand at $3131 after several months in the "Advanced Lounges."
Advancing to $2000 was relatively simple in beginners' and intermediate areas. At the top level, it's much tougher. I dropped as low as $1890 in May, before mounting a recent charge -- but above $3000, I've hit a wall for some reason.
By the way, don't take "lounge" too seriously. Some players at the advanced stage demand fast play or else. The spiritual fruit of patience (Gal. 5:22) clearly is lacking in them.
One day when I happened to host a table, a player demanded I boot someone for slow play. I responded with a phrase from my late father: "Have a train to catch?" That player laughed and calmed down.
