Paradise Poker: Draw Poker Is Dead!

[Al Mirpuri]

Paradise Poker gave me $100 no strings attached so I went there and killed the five-handed $2/$4 Five Card Draw game. It was pitiful. Just us Europeans. No Americanos at all. Not quite 3000 players online. I have just finished playing as nobody is willing to play me.

The US legislation thing has killed the traffic there from what I can see. I usually play solely at Full Tilt Poker so I had not known how bad things had got but this was truly saddening. Though I had a great time winning seventy five big bets over five hundred hands (figures made neat) and I even took Mason Malmuth's Winning Concepts In Draw And Lowball off the shelf (it is my favorite two plus two tome, I guess I am just an old-timer).

Any comments? Anyone?
