    <p>THIS IS WHY I DON'T TRUST FOREIGN POKER SITES.  ITS ALL A JOKE AND A HOAX.  NOT ONLY IS ONLINE POKER A SUBSTITUTE FOR WARCRAFT, IT DOES NOT COMMIT ANYTHING TO THE UNITED STATES GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT.  WAKE UP PEOPLE, THE ONLINE SCAM ARTISTS INCLUDING FULL TILT, BODOG, AND pokerstars, ARE ALL SUCKING THE MONEY OUT OF THE UNITED STATES. ARE THESE CO## S&*KE@Z PAYING TAXES??????  I KNOW I HAVE BEEN CHEATED PLENTY OF TIMES.  HOW DOES A GUY IN A 50, 100 LIMIT CASH GAME KNOW TO CALL ME WITH 66 HI ON A FLOP OF aqk THEN RAISE ME ON THE TURN 9 AND HIT A 6 ON THE RIVER?????  ELABORATE, I WANNA HEAR A NERDY SCOTT MONTGOMERY THEORIZATION OF THAT.  ONCE AGAIN, WAKE UP!!!!!!</p>

    <p>DOM has been savin that one up for awhile...says the guy who played a tourny on the 23rd. I bet he has that bumper sticker "Out of a job yet? Keep buying foreign!" and drives a Toyota. BTW they call you down to the river because they know you are a snapcase and just want to see a response like the one we just witnessed.</p>

    <p>on the bright side, the title of the story is sort of flattering to the people who did the investigative work, as opposed to a title that hates on online poker</p>

    <p>ok two things. first, if your convinced that online poker is not legit STOP PLAYING otherwise keep your comments to yourself. second, if it is true that the poker sites are "sucking money" out of the United States its because our government is letting them.  Refocus some of your ranting  toward its regulation in the US. Maybe you should try fixing the problem instead of just complaining about it. And a third thing, your reference towards warcraft? seriously? this means a lot to some of us and if the best you argument you can come up with is its effect on your warcraft game... wow just stop. I just cant believe your a p5'er and would say that... </p>

    <p>I wonder if this was delayed because Tokwire wanted to make sure CEREUS is out before it airs. I'll be pissed if someone from the company actually get a spot to promote how safe the new site is and yada yada</p>

    <p>^^ that actually crossed my mind as well wong, but I think its more likely that cereus found out when this was coming out and rushed the launch date, this might be why the launch seemed to have so many bugs... </p>

    <p>F UB, F AP and F the KGC.  What a bunch of self-covering ass clowns.  Anyone who plays on CEREUS is going to get exactly what they ask for.</p>

    <p>Anyone else already having huge problems with the new UB? I was in a $30 rebuy 15k guarantee Wednesday night, had $123 dollars invested in it, then got disconnected after the first hour. So, I reconnect, log in, and it never would take me back to my seat, even though I can see the thing running and watch it in the tournament lobby. I even spoke online to the UB tech support team while all this was going on, so nothing was wrong with my internet connection. Now UB doesn't want to give me a refund, suddenly after 4 years of playing on the site, both my laptop and PC are no longer good enough to play there. WTF UB, areyou guys cereous??? Sounds like a joke to me...</p>
