Purely for the sake of conversation and experimentation, I just put money in my account via a debit card from a major, well known U.S. bank.

The process took less than a minute.

It appears not to be a problem to get money on WPX.

My card from a decently known bank does not work for WSEX (unless things have changed, haven't tried it recently).

If I have to shop around from one bank to another just to find a card that will work for depositing then it most certainly IS still a problem.

Is it too tricky to PM jfk and kindly ask him which bank?

Why do you say this? It's a popular thread every month. Also, there were a ton of tables (by wpx standards) going tonight. I actually had a choice of which 4 tables to play (3/6 and 5/10) instead of being forced to play the 2 or 3 that were going.

I too noticed the good traffic most all day, let's hope it continues.

As for people not liking this thread, there's always the haters out there for no reason. You would think they would just avoid it.

Palomino, what are your thoughts on the WSEX software? I see all these people hate on it, but personally I have no problem at all with it. Sure it's not flashy or anything, but I have found it perfectly functional from my first day on there.

I don't have a problem with the software. I hate the bug that sometimes it automatically checks or calls on a later street if you used an autocall button on an earlier one, but more the most part it is fine. All I really care about is functionality. One thing I would really like to see though is a replay hand history like on AP...also, the ability to look at hands other than the last one played would be nice. I play so many tables and I hate having to go to PT to see them.

That would get in microbob's way of posting in 80% of the threads in the internet forum and never making an insightful post.

My card from another well known bank did not work at first. However after I got a call from the fraud dept and assured them that it was legit it has worked fine. Bob, try giving them a call and telling them that you authorize the transaction.

palomino - Interesting. Thanks for the suggestion.

banzai - even if I found out the bank name I don't think I'm going to bother with opening a new account just to deposit onto WSEX. But the more I think about it the less silly this idea seems.

Seether - thanks for your support.

I don't want a thread, so important info I would like to read never sees the surface.

How you read this to mean that I don't want to read about WSEX is beyond me.


I was playing a few of those tables myself.

If there is something noteworthy written about WSEX it is unlikely that players will read about it in this thread.

I really see no reason for it's own thread, except for the affiliate leaches forcing it to have one in the first place.

I'm in agreement with Havana that having a seperate thread for WSEX is probably no longer necessary.
Not as many players and not as much overall discussion about it so not as big a deal anymore imo.

The idiot-spammers can be dealt with individually. If it were to get out of hand again with a zillion WSEX threads then repeat-topics could be locked.
OR we could even say, "meh, experiment didn't go so well. Lets go back to one thread for WSEX-chat."

Still worth noting as MH said previously that even the WSEX-GM himself said he prefers the whole discussion be kept to one thread so he absolutely knows he didn't miss anything.
