Re:Annie Duke's Pokerroad Interview
You are a spokeswoman on this issue because you keep speaking about it in forums and radio interviews. It is clear that your key point is that the fraud was perpetrated by people associated with "old management" and not "new management", and that we should trust that the cheating is not continuing and that "new management" is paying back everyone who cheated in full. Since we don't know the ownership and management structure, we don't really know what the difference between old management and new management means. Since all the known evidence indicates ...

Re(1): To those who are still depositing...
MoneyGram is pretty easy, though you have to make a trip to a MoneyGram location. There are a lot of them, though, so shouldn't be a problem.

Re(5): Whats up with people and thinking this is a skill game.
+1. If you get to the final table of the WSOP main event and have your AA cracked by AK, it is highly unlikely you will ever have enough "good luck" during the rest of your life to make that even out.

Re(2): Absolute pokers response to the super account
"Our game client only receives data regarding the individuals hand and no other players hole cards, except in the event of a showdown." The only 100% secure software is software that doesn't exist. Even software that doesn't run may not 100% secure--the source code could contain hard-coded secrets that can be found by decompiling (or getting access to the direct source code). For a person to claim that his software is secure because "the game client only receives data regarding other players' hands in case of a showdown" is absurd and is a clear sign that the person making the statement has ...

Re(4): Time to cut losses on being a pro?
When someone says school bores him, I think that they are saying learning bores them. If learning new things bores a person, they are really intellectually dead and just going through the motions of life. Sounds like you really need to rejuvenate yourself, get some perspective, and develop some other interests.

Re(2): Time to cut losses on being a pro?
One of the keys to creating wealth is to create multiple streams of income. If your only stream of income is poker, you are doing yourself a disservice.

Re(3): U.S. to keep Internet gambling ban: USTR
All the people I know that played online before the federal ban have stopped playing poker online because the barrier to depositing money is high enough to dissuade them. Sure, they aren't high enough to dissuade to person determined to play online, but they are high enough to dissuade a lot of casual US players. At least the ones I know.

Re(1): I took one step left
I've spent about the same amount of time on poker, but I've spent a lot less time on websites like P5's, 2+2, etc. I've also cut my subscriptions to online poker training sites from 5 sites to 2 sites. That has helped me manage my time better.

Re(1): Real Poker Training, PXF,???
If there is no sign-up fee, I think it is a no-brainer. You can always cancel in a month or two if you feel it isn't for you and you really won't have lost much.

Re(2): PPA posts financials for everyone to see...
Chris, I wonder if your requirements for donating are too stringent. Can you name one new nonprofit that gives the level of transparency you are asking for' PPA is a very new organization and I think that just a couple of hours researching PPA on google makes it clear that PPA is probably doing more than any other organization to help the online poker cause. I'll argue (mostly from ignorance) that creating the transparency that you (and I)demand would likely be time consuming and expensive in the short term. While garnering support from 2+2 and P5 members would a good thing, PPA does need ...

Re(2): PPA posts financials for everyone to see...
Chris, I am as skeptical as they come (and I am certainly not qualified to do any financial auditing). However, the $167,000 in management and general did not go to one person. The 434,683 in fundraising expenses seems reasonable to me based on the little I know about fundraising costs for non profits. It appears $352,000 was unspent and could be used during the next year. You wouldn't want PPA throwing money around ineffectiely just because it has the money, right' There is nothing there that, on the surface, looks unreasonable to me. I appreciate PPA making some documents available.

Re(1): Reprimanded By Stars - Didn't Realize You Can't Do This.
That can be considered collusion. Unlike a cash game, everybody has a stake in the outcome of the hand as every person eliminated benefits the remaining players.

Re(1): Building a bankroll from nothing.
Think about the time required to play a bunch of freerolls and micro tourneys to build a roll. Add up the hours. You'll be surprised at how many weeks of work that is. Now, get a part time job for 1/2 those hours. Use 1/2 of your after-tax income to fund poker. In 3 months you'll be way ahead of where you'd have been using all that time to play micros and fpp tourneys.

Sorry, one more PPA post
I have been openly critical on these forums of the PPA for not giving more financial disclosure. I've been particularly critical of kksuited and bluffmagazine as their defenses of this lack of transparency smack of intellectual dishonesty. With that said, I want to say that I've done some brief research on the PPA (google) and it is clear to me that PPA is not just sitting around doing nothing. A simple google search on PPA makes it pretty obvious that Michael Bolcerek has been busy creating awareness about the status of online poker and driving the issue into public consciousness. I ...

Re(4): Michael Bolcerek (PPA) Responds to P5's Questions.
Beanie, I find you to generally be a careful and thorough thinker. But your position here baffles me. Yes, sometimes you have to ask who is on my side and who is against me. And sometimes you have to ask who appears to be on my side, but really has a self-serving agenda that isn't really going to help me (or is going to hurt me in the long run). Questions were raised on 2+2 that genuinely conern me. The answers I've seen to date appear to scream of smoke screen. Maybe they are just poor communication, maybe they are something else. I just don't know and it angers me when I see continued ...

Re(2): Michael Bolcerek (PPA) Responds to P5's Questions.
Hi Michael, Thanks for posting. What I would most like to see is cooperation between 2+2 and PPA. If that is not possible for whatever reasons, I'd like to see the issues raised in Mason's sticky post on 2+2 addressed publicy by PPA in a reasonably thorough manner. I understand that responding to the 2+2 letter takes time away from your organization's main focus, but spending the time to do this once would help clear the issues and allow all of us to fully back the PPA without reservations. Thanks, FP #Post8351829

How much money have they received' If they've only received $300K I'm not going to fault them for only giving $220k. If they've received $3 million, on the other hand... ...We just don't have the necessary information to make a judgement. All we can do is understand that PPA continues to ignore requests for this information.

You are actively trying to defend PPA on these boards, but you couldn't care less about my criticisms' More likely you recognize that you can't address them because the facts either aren't available or don't support you.
