pt question, which files do i have to remove if i want to delete the postgres files of a db i removed from pt?

[/ QUOTE ]

First go to maintain database names under the file menu and "remove" the db there. Then go to the the window you use to vacuum/analyze, etc. and you can delete it there.

Yeah I just noticed that today. I think there were some people who cashed out daily, and Stars felt it slowed down their check issuing process. Because I noticed the last 2-3 checks I've ordered have come in 3 days or less, as opposed to 2-3 weeks in the past. (All checks over 1k, so they were expediated)

[soah]

they wouldn't let me cashout by check and I have to pay a fee on wire transfers which is another reason not to cashout often

If you cashout over 5k you should get free bank wires.

On a different note I [censored] hate girlfriends

I wonder what other types of collusion are going on as well.

[/ QUOTE ]

Collusion? You make it sound like an illegal and bad thing if I were to talk on AIM with another player about what I do against a specific player. What about Krantz, Whitelime, and FWF all playing together at the same computer against one other player headsup, is that collusion?

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, thanks for the confirmation.

Not illegal according to site T&amp;C's, and not bad for you and the player you're corresponding with, but certainly bad for the players you're discussing. I just think there's a significant difference between sharing/discussing strategy &amp; tactics to be used against a certain type(s) of player and those to be used against a certain player. It's a bit unethical, to say the least.

Further, there's nothing to stop you from sharing your entire "exploit book" with someone, and I'm sure you/others do. There's also nothing to stop you from doing so in real-time, as tough spots arise during a session, and I'm sure that goes on too.

In other words, "I'm sure you're just discussing pierogies and snow and [censored], but it's just English at the table." (sic)

And to answer your question, of course it is. They couldn't play 3-on-1 if they were playing heads-up live. Of course, that's the risk one takes with online poker. Maybe they were playing against 6 guys.
