After watching people in live card rooms for over 20 yrs, I see them doing two extremes when they borrow money for bankroll/backing. They either start playing really tight/scared because it is case...

I have come SO close to typing, "F..k the drama, just bet your nut hand and be done with it..."

Many devout brick and mortar players say you can't "read" online players. I feel there are many traits, especially if you make use of player notes that most sites offer. Some that I have found and...

The old bots were totally predictable, especially on Ultimate Bet where they seemed to be everywhere, and still are. However, the newest one, Artificial Intelligence, adjust their game to the...

In case any of you are wondering, there are poker "bots" (robots) out there playing against you. The only advantage they have is the amount of rake they can generate to honor/earn bonuses. They are...

My best rakeback was in the "old days" when sites actually offered reload bonuses. Just trying to get it qualified and rang up the points. Have long since realized you can open up the door for some...

Here's a newstory released today by the Washington Post... enjoy, as it "could" open the doors again to online poker in the States..

It appears twofold. First, there's the money laundering issue. I think the Dept of Justice (U.S) has put the pressure on Canada to stop money laundering. Second, since the U.S. government is...

And now for all the Canadian players who might have been saying, "Who cares, it isn't our problem..." Welcome to the club, as Neteller just announced they will no longer honor transfers from...

I just received the following update from Neteller. It confirms that we aren't going to get out money in 75 days, but merely a "plan" will be annouced on when the money will be forthcoming. For the...

As an addendum to the previous post, Neteller announced today that they have a plan to have a plan... sound confusing?

They said that in 75 days they will announce their plan to return player's...

For those U.S. players interested in the Neteller debacle, there's a new coalition forming on Yahoo Groups. It's all free. It's good, and current, information on the ongoing issue, as well as other...

Sure hope someone does something soon. This is getting tiresome for us U.S. players with money frozen at Neteller. I know the "Patriot Act" is important to fight terrorism, but it is being used for...

I'm afraid to admit what mine is, it will date me too much....

"Kelly's Heroes" [Don Rickles, Donald Sutherland (Keifer's dad for you youngsters, can't find a funnier movie, unless it was the...

Yeah, the "rules" in Europe are that you can use Neteller. The rules in the U.S. are that the government is "holding your money in trust"... doesn't that phrase drive you nuts on Neteller. They...

The next "critical" date is March 16th. That's when the government must either file charges and substantiate is case, or drop the issue. Let's hope it's favorable for all of us with money in...

Here's another one for the paranoid players...

I "found" a cheat tonight and got him/her booted off the poker site. I was sure he was using some kind of automated software, when after finding...

It's just that it is getting later every month. Add to that, FT hasn't had a reload bonus since October. Their clientel is getting smaller, less games, a lot of U.S. players (sadly the bad ones)...

I'm seriously thinking of quitting FT, this is a total hassle every month.

They might crossreference names with their "terrorist" list, but there are hundred's of thousands of U.S. players. No one would have that kind of manpower. I'm just hoping for the best and...

I did write to the governing body of the London stock exchange and the AG office here in the states. The answer was basically the same.

Neteller is masking the problem and making it sound like...

What's ridiculous is that the Attorney General's office has frozen Neteller's assets, which include players money till they "audit" to make sure no terrorist money is being laundered. They are...

My money is still tied up as "pending". Every time I call I'm told "One to two weeks", to which I keep reminding them it's two weeks NOW. I'm sure I will get my money, but if Neteller starts...

Before we all go too ballistic, I've had several calls to them. NOT to say your scenario could be true.... but, they claim that they got so slammed with withdrawal requests, it jammed the whole...

With Netteller now down to U.S. players, I'm considering switching to ePassporte. Could those of you who use, or have used, that cash broker please tell me your experience or opinions?
