Full Tilt and Pokerstars Domains Seized
Admins - If this inappropriate (or a duplicate) - please feel to delete...I can still play on wsex poker (very few players and low/micro stakes - but it's still up and running) - and a friend told me sportsbook poker was still working... I'd rather poke my eyes out than read 5K posts on 2+2...

Cereus meeting place!
Thanks Adrienne...I think a ~$10K freeroll (value ~$50 per person) is nice... I do have one suggestion/request - could the top 18 in the freeroll get credit towards the bubble buster contest''

Super Turbo Spot
Betting out gives you as close to an answer as you are going to get out of position with limited chips...as you noted - you are in a spot jamming or calling - but folding with no information seems weak...500 chip super turbos are such a crap shoot anyway - you may as well take advantage of any chance you to get information before you get into jam or fold mode... For the record - as played - I jam...

AKs approaching bubble BB
Personally I would've overbet jammed instead of raising to 3500...the only reason I wouldn't go in would be if simply making the money was important - in which case I'd call and see a flop...

AP or UB?
The differences in the two are small and esoteric in nature... I like the look and feel of UB better...I'm sure others feel the opposite... Which site has rakeback - and can existing players qualify''

UB Checks
Though I'm sorry to see that there were some checks bounced - I am relieved to see that others are having issues with check delays... I've used the $8 option at least 10 times this year - always getting the check 7-10 days later...this was true as recently as June 20th...as a matter of fact - they've called me a couple of times when it's taken me a couple of days to deposit the check to make sure I've received it... However - I haven't received either my June 27th or July 4th withdrawals... I'm hoping this is a short term issue...I'd really hate to leave UB...

Re:Ur Biggest equity suck-outs which propelled u to your biggest scores
Not as big of an equity stake or as big of a suckout as a lot of you - but my favorite hand of all time... WSOP Satellite in 2005...30 or so left in a 10-seat satellite...I get AIPF with AK v AA... Flop is Axx - all clubs - neither of us has one...turn club...river club...chop... I finished in the top 10 and went to Vegas...

Re:How many of these have you had in your lifetime?
I remember DN's comments on HSP and thought that was odd - as he did play online quite a bit in years past...I've stopped counting - but I think I'm around 10 in NLHE with both cards - all online (I seldom play live) - probably half cash - half tourneys...I know I've gotten paid off several times...

Add-on bug at UB??
Forgive me if this has been addressed - I'm not a regular here - and I did search for a good half-hour and found nothing... In the last week or so - I've had 3-4 occasions where I have tried to double add-on - yet get no chips...the first couple of times it happened I thought maybe I just misclicked - but today I was paying specific attention to what I was doing... I have not noticed if I my account is being debited...that is my next thing to check... Anyone else noticed this - have any fixes - or any other idea'' And please no dead horse beating "stop playing at UB" ...

Re:Defending Tiffany Michelle
How about having some respect for other readers and using real words as opposed to textspeak when posting... Also - to whomever said it hadn't been long enough before she called the clock...we have no idea how long it had been...I can pretty much guarantee you it was longer than what we saw on TV...they do edit these things you know... As far as I'm concerned - if its within her right to do so - no one should have a gripe about her calling the clock...if it pisses you off so much - call the clock on her immediately on her next hand... Though once again - this proves the need for ...

I would now ask all of the doomsayers who pronounced the death of poker in late 2006 to admit your mistakes and apologize... Well - at least those who aren't spending all of your time dissing Pokerstars giving you free stuff...

Re:large cashouts-issues with the bank?
Perhaps a banker could help with some of these thoughts...but from my experience selling four restaurants... In general - banks have policies when it regards ANY large check...my previous bank wouldn't allow access to funds over $5,000 for up to ten business days after I deposited a check - occasionally regardless of whether the check had cleared or not... I've never had a bank question me as to what a check was from - and I've deposited large checks with the number 101 and/or the business name handwritten in... Sadly - I haven't had a withdrawl from Stars since Neteller ...

Re:Ship supernova, DOUBLE FPPS AND VPPS on stars this week
They are definitely paying double FPPs as well (or more correctly - paying at the same rate as normal - ie 250% for platinum)... Ive made a bit over 400 vpps since midnight et...normally I would have made around 200 in that time...I have earned 1000 fpps... Is that clear' Im tired... :)

Re(1): Making laydowns to win tournys
I agree with someone above... If you are going to fold this hand with an overpair to a continuation bet - you shouldve just folded preflop... This really isnt the time in a tourney to call with a PP and play "no set no bet"...

Re(3): Five Card Draw Players..Advice Please
I would assume that hes talking about the PL tourneys on Stars - in which case this strategy would likely work very well... My advice is for the limit game (and mostly cash)...there I honestly think tighter is better since most players are actually playing too many hands...
