As far as I can tell this is wildly inaccurate, but it's a start...www.pokerplayerwinnings.com

I signed up for Click2Pay after Neteller froze my funds. No problems setting up (slight hassle, had to go to my bank to get some forms signed), and so far very smooth transferring funds from by bank acct to Click2Pay to FTP and back.

MacPoker Prohttp://www.openendsoftware.com/products.htmlI don't use it anymore (I have an Intel now; I reboot to Windows and use Poker Office); it is OK. Not great but better than nothing. However, they don't support Full Tilt (or, as far as I know, any US-friendly poker rooms), and support in general seems to have fallen off the map. Maybe since people can now run Windows on their Macs, the people at OpenEndSoftware have stopped developing the program. Still, it's worth at least the trial, 1000 hands, I think.

You, sir, rule.

I've never taken advantage of any rakeback offers and want to start. The problem is all the rakeback affiliates I've found require that you sign up for a new account through them. As I've already got accounts set up I'm wondering:1. If I can transfer my $$ from my current poker accounts into my Neteller account, open new poker accounts thru the rakeback affiliate(s), and then deposit $$ into these new accounts (from the same Neteller account). Or is this considered Bad Behavior likely to get me banned?2. If this is not considered Kosher by the Poker Powers That Be, if anyone knows any ways aro

I believe Venkatraghava is the Norse God of "Don't Hold Your Breath." Could be Indian though, I get my Gods confused...

Can someone who speaks Canadian please translate this for me?

I agree w the original OP. It IS annoying. But I doubt it's the announcers' faults. My guess is the HSP producers very specifically told them to announce pots like that -- makes the people ohh and ahh over the size of the pots being "taken down."

lol. that must be it.It's quite possible that my own dumbass theory has surpassed even the supreme dumbassness of the OP's friend's theory, making his only the penultimate dumbass theory. I win!

While that has got to be one of the dumbest theories I've heard in some time, it's SO dumb that it may have gone the full circle of dumbassness to the point that there may just be some truth to it. Well, no, probably not. But on a similar subject I purposefully chose a female screen name (“Enid Coleslaw”), and on FT a female avatar, because I want opponents to think I am female. On the poker table a certain number of guys think they can push the girls around, that women will fold under pressure, that they don’t bluff, etc. I feel like this might just slightly increase my edge, if only bc of th

Help me understand your raise. I see a lot of people making obscene raises like this first in on the button or from one of the blinds. You said you were satisfied to take down the blind. That's .50 cents. (Okay, it's $1 including yours, but still). Why? I guess occasionally you get some donk who hates being pushed around (or is determined to push back at you post flop no matter what comes) and will call w K6 off, but generally the only hand that will call is going to be decent - better than A10, I would think, maybe KQ, KJ on the low end. So you've got $12 in the pot right now w A10. Whatever

I'm not sure why you keep pointing htis out. I doubt that the rest of the poker world is all that worried about the shit stored on your PC either. I don't feel like I'd be a target either, but that's not the point. If you're not worried about yourself, and you don't care about the handful of people who actually might be targeted, think about this: Something like this, if true, could seriously **** up the integrity of the game, make a lot less people comfortable about playing online, and quickly spiral into more than just a few isolated incidents. And for those people "safe" behind firewalls, m

If those 2+2 reports are true, it sounds as though "playerlogin" may have been up to two diff. things: 1. Inserting himself into another player's CPU and donking $$ to his own account.2. Somehow gaining visual access to his opponent's hole cards, so as to target that person and seriously "outplay" them.I'm not wholly convinced, if only bc I don't see why a hacker would bother with #1, when #2 is so much simpler/safer/more efficient. Still, it's a compelling read, and I don't think that the 2+2 posters are making up a bunch of BS.It does sort of switch the question from "Am I paranoid?" to "Am

Your download speed isn't nec. based on your connection speed - it's based on how many seeders and leechers there are for a particular file. Expect ranges of anywhere from 5 Kb/s to 150 Kb/s or so. If you are downloading too many torrents at once it will slow your speeds down. If the firewall port that your torrent client (e.g. Azureus) uses is blocked it will slow your speeds down. If you failed to sacrifice a goat to the torrent gods it will slow your speeds down...Right now I'm downloading High Stakes Poker 4 at about 125 Kb/s, which should take less than an hour.

What you need to know:1. Download a mac-compatible bittorret client (I use Azureus). http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/136352. Install on you Mac.3. Go to one of the many torrent sites out there (piratebay.org, isohunt.com, mininova.org, etc.), search for the torrent you want (e.g. "poker" as a key word), and download the torrent onto your desktop (or wherever). 4. Drag and drop the torrent onto Azureus. It will ask you where you want the file saved and then it will start dowloading the file. When the file is completely downloaded, the best and most versatile app to watch it on is MPlayer:h
