Re(11): Canadians (Neteller has cut us off) Eff March 26th/07
It's illegal under the criminal code (federal), but it's up to the provinces to crack down on it and none of them have shown any willingness to do so. Pokerstars and Full Tilt have their main server in Canada, I think...

Re(3): ? regarding Monkey's article
I can see that variance would be lower. But there's other ways to control variance: play smaller buyins or play smaller tournaments (e.g. 45 players instead of a full-blown MTT). So theoretically, you could build a ``portfolio'' of tournaments that would give you the same variance and (if my theory about good players is correct) a higher return. So we get back to the original question: Why play satellites' I know some pros built their bankroll by winning satellites, but I think the difference is that those satellites were winner-takes-all, which would give a higher expected gain to a good ...

Re(1): ? regarding Monkey's article
I liked the article as well, but it left me without an answer for the most basic question: should a good player be playing satellites' It seems to me that a good player's advantage is being able to win more 1st and 2nd places than others once she reaches the final table, so wouldn't she be throwing her edge away by playing satellites' Aren't you lowering your expected gain if you lower the first prize' And it's not like these tourneys play out fast either. From my experience, it takes forever to get to the money, even when you're just on the cusp -- so you're not making up in volume what ...

Re(1): The problem with using credit cards
one way around this would be to put the cash on your credit card before making the transfer, so that you have a credit. (e.g. you put $500 in advance. your balance is now -$500 and then you make a $500 transfer, so your balance goes back to zero and you pay no interest.)

JJ in the BB with two raisers, shorthanded
This happened in a live 15-player tournament (part of a league). We're down to 5 players (top three pays), blinds are 400/800 and I have about 13500, or 1/6 of total chips, as does Player B (I have him covered by 100). Chip leader has a bit less than twice as much, but is not involved. Player A, a loose/aggressive with about 8000, opens from the cut-off and makes it 2100. Player B, a pretty decent player, makes it 4200 from the button. SB folds. I'm in the BB and find JJ. I'm perceived as a fairly tight player and haven't played in a while, so there's no chance a raise will be seen as a ...
