By Steve Slater LONDON (Reuters) - Monday's flotation of online casino PartyGaming has made more than $1 billion for a former U.S. pornography entrepreneur, her lawyer husband and two Indian technology graduates. The four brains behind the world's biggest online poker operator, which was founded just eight years ago, will cash in shares worth about $1.4 billion in total in the initial public offering, and keep stakes worth over $6 billion at current valuations. For details of the IPO click on . But the windfall does not come without risk. PartyGaming's listing prospectus said its directors ris

If you created an image in PSD, and import it into AI, it will still appear pixelated.You need to actually re-create the file in order to have it appear clean at any size.RT is right...there is one thing to consider though...if you created your logo as a PSD you can copy across any text that is not yet rasterized so you don't have to recreate, resize, or layout that part of your logo....it may save you a bit of time in the vector creation process.have a good oneKK

He has already won a bracelet in limit and has a huge stack in the current NL event....what's his story?KK

disclaimer*** This is not complaining about bad beats or suck outs etc. OKI have played two 10 person tourney's over the last couple weeks finishing 3rd and 6th with a crew of guys that quite honestly play so poorly I am at a loss on how to play against them. These guys have played poker before, but are so new to the game of holdem that they don't even know simple things like the betting rules of NL hold'em. I am having some serious difficulty finding a strategy that works against these players. I am looking for anyone experienced in playing against a table full of the following characteristic

Thanks everyone...thanks to the beauty of the internet I just ordered some from Copags home page.take care,KK

This is what the ESPN Execs should do.1. Have the event scheduled so the Main Event falls in a slow time slot2. Broadcast the event live in that traditionally slow time slot3. Produce the sh!t out of it4. Rebroadcast the event for the masses with all the production bells and whistles5. Add cheerleaders called the "Railbirds"6. Get John Madden to be a colour guy so he can yell "BOOM" when someone busts7. ESPN can count thier money.JMOKK

Here is a thumbnail of one I don't think I got in under the deadline.the hosting site converted this to a thumbnail and butchered the colour....it's not supposed to be AQUA!!!

welcome

The Asian, Europen and other non U.S. markets combined make up more than 90% of the Igaming industry(all online wagering) the US could pass a law that closes the door and that wouldn't come close to crippling the industry...might slow it down like a bug on a windshield...but that's about it.Of course they can slow down or stop growth in the US markets which there is a great deal of potential ie the sports betting market which currently is closed due to the Wire Act....the US has no say in this matter when it comes to other jurisdictions participation.To the OPif you are looking to invest in pu

I like it.GO LEAFS GO!!!...I mean GOLF LEAFS GOLF!

Slightly off topic, but I'd also put Marcel on the list after reading the following blog:http://mcgrupp.blogspot.com/ Scroll down to "Marcel and a guy named Charlie." 6/14/05. Class act right there.sheer class. period. :wink:

Beautifully said....and you are dead-on. The number one brand that a designer should be pushing/selling is himself....and they should be pushing it as the best thing out there.As for my whole confidence thing that makes you sick....ummm....this is a poker forum. Therefore you are a player right? Much of what you learn in Poker can be applied to your life and career. You better be coming to the table with nothing but confidence or you will be destroyed by somebody else that has it.there is definitely a difference between confidence and being a pompous a$$....remember the saying...there is a tim

So my expertise is in print marketing campaigns, web developement design campaigns, and we also handle a great deal of rebranding projects.Unfortunately a lot of my day is spent doing business developement and project management and very little actual creative design.I would LOVE to get involved with some of the m

thx...glad I haven't lost my mind :-)

Man you guys are just too smart! LOL. The plan was to narrow it down to three and then have all of you let me know which one you like best.People have made a number of comments regarding the selection process, but this is all that Daniel (or anyone in authority) has said about it.So, there will be a group of finalists. 3 is pretty standard - or maybe it's a Canadian thing... And then it is for the forum members to makes their opinions known and communicate that to DN and company. How will this take place? I suggest the following: voting, an independent body, or a moderated discussion. *trunca

I agree 100% with it not being a public vote...it would be too easy to stuff the ballot box so to speak. I'm not sure I agree with the outside marketing agency idea...frankly this contest in my opinion really epitomises what Daniel is about...that is his appreciation for his fans which are close to his heart. I think Daniel and his trusted and close friends should decide from thier gut, as FCP strikes me as being close to his heart.KKYa I just dont want it to become a popularity contest and ruin the contest.absolutely agree.

I like this one which gives a "sports" feel to it which I think is well suited for FCP. Hoever, I don't think the Canadian flags is the way to go. Switching to suits would be better. IMHO.Thanks for the comment. The suits was my original idea, but I went ahead with the maple leaves instead....don't you mean maple leafs :wink:
