Re: what was the update on FT?

There's no such thing as a "doom switch". It's an old joke.

As the joke went, some poker sites rigged the games so certain customers would lose. The site would click the "doom switch", and the...

WPEX games

I've been looking at the games on WPEX, and the low limit ($3-6 or lower) holdem games seem like rock factories. Now I know that there's effectively no rake there, but still it seems tough to beat,...

Re: New Software: BODOG Handgrabber released - the DogWatch Handgrabbe

Dogwatch: since the Americans (and many of the non-American pros---the ones who will buy your software when it goes commercial) will be playing mainly on Pokerstars (and Full-Tilt), you might want to...

Re: Can Non-US Players Play at Party from within the US?

IP's known to be from the United States are blocked from accessing the Party servers, regardless of the account owner's resident country. If you live in a foreign country and want to play while in...

Re: Party Poker Cancel Monster

Just another way the money-grubbing people at Party drain every last dollar that they can from people. I wouldn't be surprised if the bonus retrieval will expire after a year, and even if it didn't,...

Re: Cash out? Play? risk your money?

You'll probably always be able to get paid by the reputable sites, as there would be an uproar if they refused to pay people on the grounds that they came from a certain country. If nothing else,...

Re: Where Do We Start????

I'm not an attorney, but I believe poker can be set up on an interstate network the same way that legal horse-race wagering (YouBet, TVG, Xpressbet, etc.) is set up, e.g. if the network is limited to...

Re: Party Poker.Net Adds still on Travel Channel PPT Sat Oct 14

They're probably paid for, and Travel Channel doesn't see any reason to replace them. As I understand it, the *.net ads aren't illegal, because they're for free-games only.

Re: Bodog: Help!!!!!!!

BoDog is notoriously sloppy about that. My recommendation when playing on BoDog is to not be doing anything else on your computer.

Re: Poll: Do you claim taxes on your winnings?

Yes. I claim income in compliance with state and federal laws, and I claim everything I make.

Like Benny Binion told Doyle Brunson long ago (in context): Claim all of your income, because you...

Re: Party possibly changing their position

Give me a break.

If Party came back, and the games were as soft as they were before the bill was signed (never mind how likely or unlikely that is), almost all of you who played there before would...

Re: Juiciness of Sites : post legistlation

Maybe the Party castoffs haven't gotten around to depositing at PokerStars yet. Most of the games at PokerStars have always seemed tough to me, so this isn't really a change.

Re: another way around the law for poker sites?

By the same logic, Walgreens can sell recreational drugs online, since they're already selling legal ones, or maybe they could include a nickel-bag free with each purchase of Nyquil.

Re: Stars is now the biggest

And I would have guessed that Buster's Poker Room was the biggest now. Thanks for the heads-up.

Re: Did PartyPoker change the way they collect rake??

They rake the called part of a bet. Example: a pot limit game; there's $10 in the pot heads-up preflop. The flop is put out; A bets $5, B raises to $23, A folds. They're going to rake the $5 bet...

Re: So now what with making party programs non-party?

Orca: none of them are guaranteed to stay forever. But I believe you'd want to implement PS and FTP, as those two are probably in it for the duration and would have the most potential customers of...

Re: 888

That's the key. If they don't want tight games, they should have kept players to one table maximum.
