I guess. I'll try and post more, and if it's made clear in the subject line, I'll try and comment more to get it a little higher-profile.

Could we please do a weekend where you are only allowed to ask questions about 1 pair hands postflop?

Yeah, that would be fun to enforce...

Anyway, aren't you shortstacking it? What do you care about a bunch full stack posts? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Srsly, this forum features a wide range of limits so there are a lot of people only a couple steps up from clueless amongst a bunch of other's who really know their [censored]. You can choose to let that irritate you or you can help educate people. Your choice.

Yes, there's been a big trend for bad set hands and it's getting annoying. I have no idea why, but soon enough it'll blow over and there will be something else.

So, a few days back I got a random $77 deposited into my account on Full Tilt.
It was not rakeback as I was not due any.

So, I replied to the email asking where this money came from. I did not deposit, I did not have a rakeback payment coming, I was confused.

Full Tilt support finally gets back to me (6 days later I might add) telling me I won some sort of lucky 7's promotion where I won 77 bucks.

I'm ok with that.

This is the exact email they sent me

Hello Charles,

Thank you for contacting Full Tilt Poker Support.

This was not a deposit made by you, Charles. This is a payment made by
us in relationship your raffle entry into the Lucky 7's Promotion. You
were one of the 77 players to win the draw, and thus you received a
credit of $77.00 into your account.

I hope this clarifies things for you Charles, if you have any further
questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Regards,

Michael G
Full Tilt Poker Support

Should I send them an angry email because my name is not Charles and yet they called me that 3 different times in the email.

Also, this email has the tone of a parent who is fed up of stupid questions from a child. I feel very ackward reading the email, like I did something wrong by asking a question.

I see what you're getting at. I've been playing about 1/3 $12 180 man sngs and sats to wcoop, 1/3 fullstacked, and 1/3 short so I'm not always shortstacking. Its just that there are so many hands that are all essentially the same if you know what I mean and you could just as easily get your answer from another thread as post a new hand.

How good do you think the chances are that PS is going to have a reload for their series?

Debating on weather or not to withdraw $600 so that I can take advantage of it, if it were to happen.

From a PS rep in the ZOO after someone got a preemptive email offering the bonus.
"
Hi everyone:

I just want to clarify this post.

While we do have arrangements for a potential WCOOP bonus (as we do every year), the details and final decision have not yet been taken as to whether or not to have a WCOOP bonus this year, or what the details of such a bonus would be.

The email received by TOT represents an error on the part of the CSR who handled his question, and no bonus should have been granted. If a bonus is going to happen, you would receive all the usual popups and email to the address listed in your PokerStars account.

As I told TOT by email, we apologize for the confusion "


So bascially yeah, it will be coming soon.
