Whereas if it's on UB I can at least fly to vegas, walk up to phil, punch him in the face and ask for a check?

I was going to post the exact same because this was how I viewed it as well.

Me: Phil you owe me about $30,000
Phil: I dont know what you're talking about bay beeeee...
Me: Sure you do.... the hat? the jacket? Ultimate bet owe's me some money and since you represent them i'm taking it out of your pockets or taking it out on your jaw.
Phil: You probably can't even spell jaw...
Me: *3 hit combo, jab/hook/uppercut*

I dont know a lot (if anything) about how UB / Party Poker / FT etc does it. But i do know that Poker Stars uses a standard SSL connection on a non standard port.

However, you can tell the client to use port 443 (standard SSL), and also a proxy.

Where do you configure proxy settings for the PS client ? I'm very interested (though not in the US) [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Looks like the thread just got ghostbumped. Just in case, here's the info I got from PokerStars support about proxy configuration :

[ QUOTE ]
Hello xxxx,

If your system accesses the Internet through a proxy server, you will
need to make PokerStars' software aware of it by adding two lines to
your USER.INI file, which is a configuration file stored in the
PokerStars directory.

Here is how the two sections should look after your modifications:

[Connect]
userport=443
httpproxy=proxy.domain.com:1234
httpsproxy=proxy.domain.com:1234

[ConnectR]
httpproxy=proxy.domain.com:1234
httpsproxy=proxy.domain.com:1234
host0=66.212.233.228
port0=443
weight0=3
host1=66.212.233.226
port1=443
weight1=3
host2=66.212.235.34
port2=443
weight2=1
host2=66.212.235.35
port2=443
weight2=1

You must substitute the name of your proxy server and its port number
above. For example, if your company's proxy server is
proxy.corporation.com and runs on port 8080, you would use the lines:

httpproxy=proxy.corporation.com:8080
httpsproxy=proxy.corporation.com:8080

Ask your systems administrator if you are unsure of your proxy server
settings or are unsure whether your company uses a proxy server.

Regards,

Adrian

It seems to work fine for me (tried the lobby and opening a table), though I haven't tried playing yet.

Thanks god D posted, Sam you're nuts for thinking UB is some sort of safe place. Having said that, UB ain't running out with anyones money either.

All,

I like my chances better with blackjack at Borgata. Good thing I memorized the tables. See you in the motherfu*king pit!
