Official Site to Site Transfer Thread
Why don't I see anyone using PayPal for transferring $' I really don't want to give anyone my bank information, so I figured PayPal would be good for trading $, but I just looked through this thread and I don't see anyone using PayPal. I have lock and I want PayPal, but I wanted to ask this question before I posted my offer.

Merge Poker Maximus -- Online Tournament Series -- March 2012!!!
Here is Rizen's post of 2+2. How much do you have to rake to get Black VIP' You guys know how reluctant I've been to say anything official on the subject until I was positive the dates/timeframes would be relatively accurate. On or before Feb 1st there will be withdrawals both by check (which I know isn't exactly new) and wire (which is). Both will be available in the casino. Checks will be available to VIP players of all levels and have a max limit of $3000 and take 2-3 weeks from what I've been told. Wires will only be available to Black and Black Elite VIPs, have a max limit of $9900 ...

WPT Five diamond, why so many paid?
Yes this is normal for the Bellagio, they always pay an absurd amount of people. I think if they get more than 400 people they pay 100 players. I think if they would have got 399 they would have paid 50 and if they got 700-800 players they would pay 100.

Overpair on draw heavy board against a check raise
You should raise less pre-flop. Most importantly, you should bet a lot less on the flop and you should snap call this. Sorry that he had a set this time, but he can have a flush draw, 99, A8 or a pair and a gutshot a big % of the time.

Staking dispute with Kornhizzle 20 and Blackberry_Jam
Agree that mike should have chilled out and not been so pushy about kori coming back to Florida right away and let kori have some time with his family. I agree that mike seems like a bad person to play for and a control freak, but kori had plenty of time to leave mike when he was in profit after he got to live with mike and see that he didn't enjoy living with him and playing with him. When kori went off saying live poker wasn't for him and all of that stuff, how could he expect mike to continue to back him' Kori made it impossible for mike to back him and mike clearly stated that he needed ...

The Well: Gags30
Awesome well, I read the whole thing and it was very entertaining. It was nice meeting you a few years ago at the WSOP. Your posts have always been very helpful and I have always rooted for you when I saw you deep in a tournament. Pius seems like a great guy, I was rooting for him and I'm really glad that he won. Did you guys go party when Pius made it to the top 3' What did he do on the break before 3 handed' What did you guys do to celebrate the night he won it' How about the night after he won it' Sorry to make all of the questions about the final table, but everyone already asked you a ...

Official 2011 WSOP Final Table Discussion Thread
About the Q6 hand, I think because he already led into Heinz's button raise a few times and folded the middle pair that one time, it was perfectly set up for Staszko to bet into Heinz's and then shove if he raises. Although I think heinz would have just flatted the bet with his middle pair. I know the check raise fold was terrible, but we got to see every hand and he played pretty well besides that considering all of the pressure. I know Heinz is a much better player and would never make a mistake like that, but overall I think Stasko is a good player who will keep getting better. That shove ...

What Are the Best Sites for US players to play Sunday "Majors"?
Don't play the $100K on Merge, unless they have a wire transfer option for large amounts that I don't know about. The max check that you can withdraw is $2,500 and it takes over 2 months to get a check. I don't know how you would get all that money offline if you win it. I requested a check on August 31st and it is processed and I should probably get it in a few days. I understand that checks are going to take longer to process these days, but 2 months is a long time to wait. This is the 3rd check that I have requested from Merge over the last 6 months, the first 2 took about 6 weeks each. I ...

2/5 nl mt airy oop
This guy is calling anything and rarely has you beat on the river. This time he happened to have one of the few hands that has you beat, but if he really called an all in with 44 on a board with 4 to a flush without having a flush, his range of hands is very wide and only a small % of them has you beat.

Interesting 1-3live hand
You have to shove the turn and make them pay to draw. As played this is a very very easy call on the river.

Moving to Vegas, but i have a plan.
What about taxes' I think saving $3,000 per month seems nearly impossible, but even if you can save $2,000 a month you will still have a very big bankroll after 3 years. Who knows where poker in the U.S. will be in 3 years, if it keeps going the way it has the last few years, with the average players getting better and the weak players going broke, it will be hard to make a living in poker in 3 years. If online poker gets regulated (which my uninformed quess is that it will get regulated sometime within the next 3 years) then it will probably be pretty easy for a decent player to make a ...

Jose "Girah" Macedo the supposed Portuguese Prodigy admits to being a scammer
I just saw this on another forum and I found it really interesting. He convinced some friends to play this player that he said was a huge fish and then convinced his online "friends" to let him sweat them through a program that allows you to see their cards in real time and it turns out that Jose Macedo was actually playing on the account that he was telling everyone was a huge fish. So he superused his online "friends" and stole money from them by being able to see their cards while he was playing them. He stole at least $30,000 probably a lot more. This is the worst thing that you can do as ...

Hawaiisgreat scammed me for $1150
Another lesson that you should learn is that what you did is straight up cheating. You were trying to gain an unfair advantage by having someone give you chips in exchange for backing him in some tournament or giving him money or whatever he did to get the $60. So not only are you pretty dumb to get scammed by a guy who seemed so damn desperate, you also were cheating, so I don't feel bad for you at all. I don't want to take the attention off of Clint Naito, who is a scamming piece of shit, who did something a lot worse, but it still needs to be pointed out that not only is Skinny857 a ...

*** Merge Gaming Network Official Support Thread ***
I requested a check 6 weeks ago and my check finally arrived a few days ago and I deposited it into my bank account with no problem. A few weeks ago I found out about the option to withdraw through the casino side, but I was too far along with my request on the poker side, so I just waited for the check through the poker side. The next time that I need to withdraw, I will obviously do it on the casino side. Overall it was a pretty frustrating process to even get my account verified, as support seems to almost never respond to emails. It took almost 2 weeks for them to verify my account. Back ...

Civil Forfeiture Claim Deadline for our money at Full Tilt and UB is tomorrow.
Thanks for the response fly44. Btw congrats on the great ranking, I remember seeing you post on pocket fives years ago and you always sounded like you knew what you were talking about. Sounds like not many people are going to file the claim if the PPA is pretty much advising against it. Anyone know of anyone who is filing the claim'
