EFT Withdrawal Options on FTP for US Players
I've twice now had a premium bank wire transfer rejected by my bank and am confused as to whether or not a US Player can use [payment processor name edited] to withdrawal monies using this processor, which seems like an EFT transfer. This option does show as available to me, but when I select "learn more" the information states that this is for users with accounts in Austria, Germany and Switzerland, not the US. I have used eCheck to deposit, but this option doesn't show up as available to me as a withdrawal method, only a deposit option. Is my only option then to request ...

Are verbal agreements to chop binding?
I was heads up in a $11 45-man SNG on FTP. The chipleader asked in chat if I wanted to chop. I agreed and he told me to select the "deal" button, which I did. He then pushes all in and I call. He wins the hand and I get second place money. I've never used the "deal" button before on FTP and wasn't sure how it worked. It seems that I got screwed -- is his verbal agreement to chop binding'

Re:Live poker pet peeves
I play a lot of 2/5 NL live poker and go to Vegas a lot (8x this year so far). I swear if I had a nickel for everytime I heard someone ask the person who opened with a raise "How much you got behind'" then almost immediately fold, I would be a rich woman! It really drives me bananas. I find the practice annoying and rarely does this question seem to impact this person's decision to call, raise or fold -- as it seems they've already made their decision and just want to be annoying.

Re(1): SeaTac and Poker
There's a good cardroom called Diamond Lil's that's really close to the airport -- probably about 5 miles in Renton. It's right off I-405 on Rainier Blvd. They don't have NL though, only limit tables. They spread 4/8, 8/16, 12/24 and 20/40. They also have a good 6/12 Omaha H/L game with a 10/20 kill. They close at 6:00 AM. You'd have to go to Muckleshoot Casino (Indian casino) for 24-hour action (and no-limit), but from the airport, it's 20-25 miles and would be a pretty hefty cab fare.

Re(1): Dumbest things you've ever heard at live tables.
I was in a MTT at a local casino. We're still in the re-buy period and there's 3 all-ins; pocket 7s, pocket 8s and pocket Qs. Pocket Qs sweeps the pot and the guy says . . . "I really didn't want to play the hand." I told him to basically to GTFO -- If you really didn't want to play the hand, then you would have folded. What a stupid thing to say.

How to play against Mr. Aggressive
I play a lot of live NL ($3/$5 $200 buy-in) and am a winning player. I am currently in Sydney for work and thought I'd check out their Star City Casino and play some poker (I was having withdrawals). The game was NL $5/$5 $200 max buy-in, plus a $1 fee for each hand (whether you played the hand or not, so each round was expensive). Consistently there was a lot of pre-flop action and most flops cost between $15-30 to see. Even in raised pots, there were typically 4-5 people seeing the flop. There was one player, Mr. Aggressive, who loved to "bet pot" after the flop, particularly when he was ...

Question about WSOP satelites
Does anyone have any information on which sites are running WSOP satelites that you can win event entry chips for ANY of the events, not just the ME' There are some WSOP events I'm interested in playing in and don't want to wait until I get to the Rio to play satelites. Thanks for your help.

Re(1): A Poker Post: Play this hand with me
I had a similar thing happen to me recently in a $50 tourny on Bodog. I was the chip leader with 10,280 chips (approximately). The blinds were 15/30. I was in the SB and was dealt AA. There were about 4 limpers, and the button min raised to 60 -- this player had about 6k in chips, so was doing pretty good. I re-raised to 400. He re-raised me, I re-raised in and before the flop, we were both all in. He called me with 9-10o. I was pretty stunned to see his cards and felt pretty good about bolstering my chip stack. Naturally, he turned an open ender and rivered the straight. I couldn't believe ...
