UB says i have a Gambling problem.
As much as Ultimate Bet gets bashed on i have always been a supporter. This year because of divorce issues and self reflection on life i decided to play less poker and focus on my career. Because of that i am not a Icon player or whatever status they had me at. I sent them a few emails requesting procedures on suspending my account for a few weeks so i could ride out a bad streak. They said because im not an Icon player anymore security had to deal with my emails. and the lady on the other end of the phone acessed i have a gambling problem. So because of that they banned me for life. I cant ...

Re:chicagoland poker
Check there website. some of the deepstack tournies have good structure. Most of the play is weak. Cash games are super loose. I used to go to the ones in naperville area. God i wish i wasnt banned from Harrahs owned casinos. 5 more years........GL

Re:GL everyone im done
First off i would like to thank those who are supportive. I want to clear a few things up. I was only running bad for about a week this time. But playing almost everday you see weeks months years sometimes of running bad. I just got tired of the grind. Really it just got old. Playing where you have to win to survive ruined the game for me. I wish i was in a situation where i didnt have alot of liabilities and was able to accure my winnings into a big bankroll so i could relax and play MTTs mostly. Or take longer breaks when i running bad. I never got the opportunity to build my bankroll to go ...

GL everyone im done
Good luck everyone. i know i didnt really contribute to this site but i browsed alot. i enjoyed insight i read here. i have been grinding out a modest living for the past three years playing sngs at UB. Unfortunately i have seen enough. MY all in percentage is a paultry 13%. i have lost lately in everyway possible. and what it has done is made me hate this game. i went down in stakes only to find the fold button is broken down there being $50 and lower. I lost my family due to poker and im getting a chance with them again. My ex wife is going to try to work things out with me. and i dont want ...

UB WU Withdrawal
UB is now offering Western Union withdrawal option. Up to 3000 US dollars per week. Might not last long but at least another option than check and wire.

Re:I've been kind of an asshole lately...
ITs funny i felt like i had to do the same thing. Make amends/apolgies to some people. But i dont contribute useful info here nor am i a mtt player who crushes it so serves no purpose on here. i have been a prick for a year now online lol. went through the hardest thing a man has to go through besides death. divorce with kids a divorce in which you dont want. It ruined me as a man. and for some insane reason i loved taking it out on everyone else. What i finally noticed is trying to put everyone on tilt by berating them only made my game worse and my attitude worse. I went around and made ...

Re:Can UB turn off my ability to play blackjack?
it is hillarious how they always have a ten underneath if they are showing a ten and you have a made hand. When you dont they dont. and when they are showing 4,5,6 they have a combined ten and then hit 20 or 21. when i double(or used to) hardly ever got ten or ace. Also if ties are to happen 9% of the time how come it hits about 50% when i have 19,20,21. losing proposition in the long run. Probably most redundant statement ever/

Re:Joe Hachem
You can argue his talent level until your blue in the face. What i take away from what i have seen. Is that guy needs a serious attitude adjustment. Be grateful your a world champ and quit complaining. No matter how competitive he is. I win WSOP ME never hear another complaint out of my mouth for the rest of my life.(until ex wife trys to get in on some of the cash)

UB Bank Wires
No matter what people say about UB their payouts are quick and reliable(so far). I was wondering about bank wires. Has any US player used this and had a problem' Now that money gram is gone. I would like to try something other than checks every now and again. Thanks.

Re:Using student loans for my bankroll?
I would advise against it. When i was in school(im an old man) was during the frenzy. I invested all of my student loan money. Made a ton at first but proceeded to lose most of it. Brought too agony into my life. Student loans are for one thing school and your future. Or maybe online poker, hos and blow. Up to you both are good options. But reflecting back i would not of done the same.

Re:HORSE Final Table HORRIBLE for Poker's Image
From the point of view given to me seems like Scotty is a complete hypocrite. Complaining about Demicheles behavior only to be the true classless player at the table. I think the kid and Erick were great in standing up to him. No longer a fan baby which by the way is so oversaid. Not even funny really.

Attitude on Stars with Sharkscope
Ok i will admit my stats at Stars arent good. Im a UB player mostly but have recently ventured over to stars because of all the positive things i hear. I played in 05 where i played out of my league and because of it started off real bad and my stats show it. That being said what is it with all the attitude on Stars.(Oh yea im mostly a HU player) As soon as i sit at a table villan checks sharkscope and starts to talk smack. God forbid i raise with nothing and hit or suckout im the worlds greatest donkey. But if they do its because they are good and played it well. I am going to post a hand ...

Dominating hands at Stars
Im not crying here. Just curious. I have been struggling alot lately on stars. I cant remember the last time i was a dominant favorite that i actually won. And honestly i have had huge suckouts as well. I play or played at Bodog, FTP and UB also. I just never see it happen as much. So the question is how do you manage your game during these horrid times. I try to control pot size but it seems like at stars ( i play mainly SNG HU) everyone pushes. Or will make a horrible call pre then push the flop with nothing. What do you guys do when whatever you do comes out wrong. Im sure i will get the ...

Heads up SNG on Stars
Im normally a UB player but because of everyone hating on UB and raving about stars. I went back there. This site is hillarious. I know variance, bad runs what have you. No kidding im 0/8 last eight hands with overpair against pp money in. and AK vs AJ AQ whatever have won less than half of those. Dont understand what im doing wrong. I guess that poor girl i took advantage of was PS owners daughter. I just dont understand. GG all im done with stars

Site that has biggest whiners
I have had my moments especially recently went i through my divorce where i would bit ch up a storm in the chat box. Well it really does me no good. Bad beats happen bad plays are rewarded. And its hillarious how hypocritical most people who cry are. That being said i joined pstars after along hiatus there. It seems like almost everyone i play HU with the exception of a few cry like little kids. I never it see it like that anywhere else. Is it serioulsly that bad there or is it just me'
