One good thing may come of this

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

Beanie,

Are there still direct bank transfers on bodog?  Has anything changed for there withdraw/deposits recently?  (Have been at work just starting to read some of the posts)

Muchas Gracias

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.
