    Recently there are a lot bigger games available, these will begin to go away. So the temptation for the random fish to blow 5k he just won playing 50-100NL won't happen. This could, in theory, make the mid limit games a lot better.

    I think he means that good players won't keep as much money online due to security concerns, so if a random fish wins a big tournament score he'll be more likely to play middle-stakes than the really big games, which means more fish with lots of money to lose in the middle stakes games.

    So what happens when the big game players realize this and just drop down to the mid-limits and destroy those games??

    More good news
    I used to bang Carmen Electra. I was dumped by her but there is some good news in that.
    I dont have to work out as much to stay in shape and wont have to spend as much money buying fancy clothes for myself to keep up with her.

    .....yeah, great silver lining

    Only knew what you meant because my favorite pasttime is blowing off tournament winnings (however meager) on cash games that are over my head.

    I think you can wire transfer. Not really sure how that works though.

    You know that "bigger games ... will begin to go away"?

    You must be using the same logical processes that you use to defend Bodog's sophomorically bad software.

    GG guarantees? Until people get alternative deposit methods in place, do you expect so see a drop in guarantees that are barely clearing their limits (i.e. exclude any stars guarantees that have at least 50% more in the pot than the guarantee stated). Paradise guarantees went away almost immediately.

    "haven't exactly been genius material. (I was speaking to Ken) "
    Im trying to lower everyones expectations. You know, like they do on Wall st. People who know me know i am actually a genius, and therefore when i post something like that they are shocked.
    As a result, i have dummied myself up to lower expectations. In the future, when i am back to normal, people will comment 'wow this fucker is a genius'
    understand?

    GG guarantees? No. This only affects the United States. The rest of the world is allowed to still use any and all methods they want. Not to mention the players who want to play will FIND a way, no matter how much of a pain in the ass it is.

    The guarantees are not going anywhere. This is business as usual for most poker sites.
