  1. Ok, I will admit first off, having reviewed the way I played the hand out, I was playing horribly, but I would like to hear your opinions on this hand that occured at a B&M playing $1/2 NL (max buy in $100). Bear with me on the format, I will try to explain as best as possible.Background/Reads: Villian sat down maybe 15-20 hands previous, and has a very aggressive style. He took many stabs at pots, never really showed hands much up till this point. The table wasn't standing up at all to his flop cont bets, and he usually took down the pot right then and there. He was involved in a majorit
  2. Not that its a big deal, OR big money, but FT on a STARS 180 man, 5/6 left... rail if you're bored (i tend to perform well when people are watching me play) *edit* pardon me- on as dblspade, tourney 3748895Don't worry about it... got short, went for steal, ran into big hand, out 4th
  3. Ugh scammed eh? Welcome back... Hope you can turn it around....
  4. Hey all, justa quick update... :DWell it appears the issue WAS the IP problem. By utilizing my PDA, the system viewed the strange IP as a possible threat, and promptly shut it down. I am very happy with the quick service I got when I phoned, everything was up and running within 2 minutes, and they enabled me to check my account from my PDA now lol. So thanks again for the reassurance today, it was much appreciated, kept me sane throughout the day of classes
  5. Thank you very much for your replies, and so quickly.I think you guys are bang on correct with the different IP issue. That was the first time I've ever attempted to log onto Neteller from a different location, ad had no idea that it would be an issue but obviously I am thankfull that they have such features in place to protect my account.Ill give them a ring asap, and confirm this ad let you know that its not some nasty hack or something lol.Thanks again for your thoughts.
  6. This post is primarily for my own reassurance, as I don't have full details yet but here's the deal.I was in the process of building a modest bankroll through bonus whoring etc and had it up to about 800 bucks in a week, which I though wasn't too shabby, but anyways...I tried to log into my neteller acct this morning from my pda, and to my dismay it says this, more or less, "ERROR could not log in. Your account has been closed. Please contact security at etc etc"Now I don't have the time to call them just yet as I have classes to go to today but I was wondering what you guys think this is? Is
  7. One of the best posts I've read here in awhile Glad to hear everything is going great with your family, and it is encouraging to hear that you're starting to turn things around, as I feel I am going through the same thing. Trick is to realize that this game is a lifetime of learning, and we've just begun Again, great post!
  8. or did he pick that up @ the airport giftshop?? j/k Nice job!
  9. Hmm i got the same watch... But thankfully not the sweater .... and unfortunately not the $100's
  10. Yea the "alternate cover" pic they chose of him frowning was hilarious
  11. ive been playing the 180's all night, just joined another $10*edit** in 34202455 tourney under Dblspade**
  12. When do you guys play?Sounds good as I'm am sick of trekking down to Niagara evertime for a game of live poker, or waiting 6 weeks for my normal home game tourney I play.
  13. Wow, well spoken and great points made. Voice of reason in this whole mess. Thanks for posting this!
  14. Hmmm no free mobney here... Maybe it's because the last time they gave me free money, I did similar to above. Drove it up to a nice $350 and cashed out and used it on another site

    Although I'm not too familiar with the US carriers and their handsets, but here's my $0.02. I sell the treo's and Q's up here and frankly they're not all that they're cracked up to be. Moto Q suffers from horrible battery life (hence it includes the extended battery...still not enough) and doesn't included software like excel or word, have to purchase seperately. The treo (well...the 650) is ok I guess if you like Palm based hardware, but again, I've found many users bringing them back to exchange for others due to bad glitches and bluetooth probs. Check out this site for some good info if you
  16. Fuck it, I'll bite I think what needs to be said here is that politics as a whole is a joke. Being a Canadian, although very proud of my country, I too share some of the feelings expressed by the OP. To me, ANY politics are a big mess, which ever country you are looking at. Yes we can get into a large typical chest thumping over who's country does what, how big and powerful it is (or is not), fact remains, time and time again, something in politics makes me shake my head, no matter what side of the border it happens. Yes, I was ashamed of the Liberal scandals, although I'm not a Liberal vo
  17. Im in the beta right now, they're only running freerolls from time to time, can't wait for real money tables. Its pretty slick, with a nice change from the ordinary. Runs pretty good too, and I have an older system.
  18. Ahh, so the beta is still going on. I was a little confused after I signed up, because it did say any advance registration gets an offer into the beta testing. But upon reading through some of the back issues of the newsletter, it said it is winding to a close, and launch date was coming up. Well, if I get an invite, that'd be fine either way
  19. Hey all, Just stumbled across this today while out getting groceries. Noticed an ad for a new type of poker site in a poker mag. Basically, it looks like Stacked, except with real money play. They toss in other stuff like character design, etc etc but overall looks pretty slick, and a nice welcome change from what static environments we play with now.Hasn't been launched as of yet, but they are offering a beta test soon (sorry actually its close to launch). Forgive me if this has been posted already, if so...flame away :POh, here are some screenshots...
  20. Well I can say that my bank in Canada was very quick to block CC transactions to online poker sites. I think I was able to make 3 deposits before they had locked up my cards, making it unable to use them anymore for poker purposes. This was a year ago.And it wasn't even the case that they were behind in any manner, I kept those paid off, I just wanted a quick and easy way to deposit, rather than direct.Which makes me somewhat nervous. If banks up here already have that stance with use of CC, blocking any banking whatsoever can't be far behind. I hope I'm wrong on this one.
  21. Apart from SnG's, I'm in the same boat as fleung22, no major breakthrough yet to speak of.I think the closest I've ever gotten to a decent cash was 27th out of 450 some odd people over on Full Tilt. Everytime I go in a touney more than 50 people, things just seems to go totally down the drain. Suckouts, card dead, you name it.My results for SnG's are excellent, yet it looks like I haven't been able to effectively change my line of thinking and strat for larger fields. Time will tell
  22. I wouldn't worry. I experience the same slowness/pauses from time to time. I always feel my connection is about to drop or something, but then it just kicks back in. Plus I just reformatted and clean my puter, still experiencing the pauses even now
