If you want to make money at poker go to the Caymen Islands, or an Indian reservation in Canada (which is where they're all based) and start your own poker site. Otherwise you're going to lose - unless you happen to be in the top 99 percentile of poker players - and guess what - they only win by the slimmest margins.

@bottleracket I am a much stronger cash game player than tourneys.That being said, in tourneys i final table over 25% of the tourneys i enter with avg field of 100 and 18% in fields of 300 or more, in fact havnt had a losing month in 3 years, or better yet 2 losing weeks in 3 years. go to pokerdb site and do an online search for SAYWOOOO thats me. It will give you my detailed tourney stats.Then talk to me about slim margins. And my stats are not phenominal as a pro, alot of peeps have better

[GypsyRobert]

i think that all of the sites where shut down because bigger companies like wynn harrahs or going to make it legal because its legal in nevada the goverment wants there cut of the money so in time you will see online poker will be back in bussiness.i think that it might be better in the long run pokerstars fulltilt i think where fixed anyway who ever really won!!! and if you do its just tempory until u get bad beats so it could even out !

THEY TOOK OUR JOBS

[erice1224]

THIS IS NOTHING LESS THAN HORSE SHIT. TREATING US LIKE LOST CHILDREN WHO NEED TO BE TOLD WHAT TO DO. I URGE YOU ALL TO CALL, WRITE , EMAIL,PROTEST ANYTHING YOU HAVE TIME TO DO. DO IT!!! IF YOU DONT, IT DOESNT END HERE BELIEVE ME. OTHER RIGHTS WILL BE TAKEN IF WE DONT ACT NOW. ITS A MUCH LARGER BATTLE THAN JUST POKER. THIS WAS A DIRCT ATTACK ON AMERICAN PEOPLE. THIS IS HOW I EAT,ITS HOW MANY PEOPLE EAT.WHEN I WAS A RECREATIONAL PLAYER ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE OF IT AND STILL DO. STAND UP, FIGHT

[bottleracket]

@erice1224 yeah - unfortunately more people are going broke than eating from internet poker...but I say it's their right to throw their children's college funds out the window on a game they no nothing about. go america!

[erice1224]

@bottleracket and further more lol, yes you are correct. Gambling can cause gambling problems, but booze is also addictive. Nicotine, porn, food, caffene, sex,power and thousands of other things. But when used responsivly is just another luxury of living in a free country. Do you agree that it would be irresponsible to do battle with phil ivey, tom dwan, or one of the million lesser known US poker pros with your bill $ or juniors college fund? listen to the harrahs fat dude... USE RESPONSIVLY

[xillian344]

[xillian344]

[redraindrops72504]

This is the first video I've seen of yours, but I'm with you all the way!!!! I'll be visiting your site and hope to work with you soon. My friends and I are trying to go to our local radio and news stations to get some exposure as well. If you think of any other ideas please post!! we HAVE TO FIX THIS. I have 9K in my account on fulltilt and can't get it.

ATTENTION: Please visit 2+2 thread "The PPA wants to know how this impacts you." This has a profound impact on your law abiding, tax paying neighbors that have used poker as a legitimate money making endeavor. The scattering of players from reliable sites like FTP or Stars is going to require re-tuning playing results for THOUSANDS of opponents, as well as a very spread out feild of players, making tourney payouts much smaller. THIS MONEY IS USED TO SUPPORT LAW ABIDING YOUNG FAMILIES!
