Anyone have FTP deny a transfer to someone you've transferred2 previously?
Anyone have FTP deny a transfer to someone you've transferred2 previously' I'm backing a buddy and we both agreed he could sell some chips to a common friend that he sent some to a month ago successfully. Now ftp has denied a second transfer to that player and it has me worried that he won't be able to just transfer my money to me and he'll have to cash out to get square. His email said that he had to have completed a deposit with his payment processor ( which he has,along with several that I directly sent to his acct with MY credit card) and have his full name and address on ...

Re:If you saw someone Multi Accounting should you out them?
I've played with Belandator a lot and I've always found him to be a good dude and a good player who doesn't talk smack when I've been at his table. However, he stands up for himself and doesn't take any shit from knuckleheads who throw shiznit at him. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, I'd be personally shocked if he was multiaccounting.Just my 2 cents but I guess we'll see.

Re:Echecks Question..
You should be able to get the routing number and your FULL account number and proceed from there as an echeck. If not, some sites will allow your debit to run as a credit card and deposit via that method. Good luck to ya.

Re:Tell me this didn't happen. Pleasssssssssseeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As the (donk)villian in this hotly contested scenario, may I say that first off , a touchpad on a laptop is an evil thing that will occasionally misclick if you excitedly apply pressure whilst your cursor is floating over the wrong button and that despite that-I actually cashed higher than Mr. Soprano,lol. I didn't like it at the time, especially since I actually took a few moments to consider the situation before acting, but I wasn't that concerned afterwards being that it was very early in the tournament and I was still in good shape chips-wise at my table. I am obviously not an ...

Re:pokerscars...the next chapter
Looking over my hand histories, I noticed the same situation , then starting REALLY watching every time I played, ALL hands involved w a big stack vs small and it just seems insanely wrong how often the fucking big stack can get it in wrong and suck out ...Small stacks just get screwed over and over and over and even more so come bubble time. Hate to buy into it but , the software seriously seems to favor big stacks and its almost as though folks know it by the insane calls peeps make w/incorrect odds then proceed to crush the smaller stacks.

Maybe Michael Josem can do statistical analysis at stars...
We all see the "tinfoil hat" conspiracies posted here and at other forums and many of us probably give them some ,to a lot of creedence, after you've ran like hell for a week straight or so,lol. I'd like to see Michael Josem do some statistical analysis at Stars now that he's employed there after breaking open the cheating scandal at UB. Maybe he could put to rest some nagging questions or confirm the paranoia some of us have about certain situations in online poker that we see posted about all too often such as: 1. The overall % that bigger stacks take out smaller ...

Do shortstacks win coinflips ANYwhere near even 10% of the time on Stars?
Sure doesn't seem they do in my experience-0 for 10 times in 3 tourneys today- I counted them....If the AQ hits vs 99 etc. then the smaller pair with the bigger stack hits a set or quads lol.done venting,removing tinfoil hat,feeling better after spouting conspiracy theory.That is all.

Re:ive lost my faith in THE MATH & GOD
Take a week off, play no poker and try not to think about it at all. Eat healthy, sleep well, or party your arse off. Come back (maybe at a site you haven't played at much or at all just to change the scenery up),play single table sng's following strict bankroll mngmt and ride the variance out and build a roll AND more importantly your confidence. Give the MTTS a break until your roll and your confidence are on the upswing.Good Luck. It's a very brutal game, when you shake off the ugly beats and ALWAYS play your A game you'll do better but those suckouts and 2 outers etc will ...

Re:shaundeep just pwned me in $27 40k garentee
Funny, I've had Kenny rap crush my KK w 69 aipf and dipthrong crush my QQ w 77 aipf(just off the top of my head of instances where online superstars crushed me from waaaay behind,sadly there are so many more)and they both went on to win both trnys like that.Seems like the avg Joes like us are supposed to put those beats on those guys not the other way around huh' Guess thats one of the reasons I'm taking a break for a while. Wish I could give you encouraging words but it seems like some are lucky and the rest of us aren't. Good luck to you and I hope it turns around for you.

Sure he got caught, but what penalties did he incur' Jail time'NO Fines' NO Public Disclosure of his identity so he could fear for his well being' NO AP business tanked' NO Really is there ANY deterrent to stop a company' If they get caught what happens' A small community of poker forum readers( actually a small % of that small community) stop playing at that site'For a while maybe' Wow, that's a real big stop sign. Horrible penalty. Businesses make as much money as they can and when that is the goal then ANYthing is possible. The whole AP/UB scandal and now FTP cashout troubles really ...

Re:More BS from FTP
Agreed. Nonexistent customer service,the daily disconnect,more runner runners and 1-3 outers than any other site for me,cashout issues,and did I mention the customer service' They obviously don't need MY business anyway.Uninstall then on to stars and even the much maligned AP. Aahhhhh ,Much better.

Great read. So much of that hit uncomfortably close to home,lol. You really might consider factoring in some creative writing into your daily schedule, you might have another successful career w/ it if you hone that natural abililty you've been blessed with. You are basically creating an outline for a book that I'd buy . (I'll be expecting my copy signed dude). Good luck to you at the tables....

Re:UB and AP poker
The saddest aspect of this to me is that most players on ub/ap are completely unaware of anything that transpired. After maybe 3 months, I actually went back I admit, (assuming after the situation came out it was probably the safest place to play for AP's fear of losing traffic)and not many I played with were aware of the situation. Beyond our little community it wasn't well publicized. The criminals who perpetrated these crimes were not prosecuted and as far as I can tell not penalized in ANY way. AP didn't even name names. AP certainly didn't have a huge pop-up on the site ...

Re:Attempted action Full Tilt Disconnects please sign!
Agreed. Many disconnects at horrible times whilst I surf the internet and play on stars w/o any problems. Actually had a 50/50 entry refunded after 2-3 weeks waiting for a reply to my email. One of the reasons ( along with stars VASTLY superior customer service) I play more on stars now. FTP has a nice interface but the disconnects, cashout issues and horribly slow response times to emails costs them some business.

considering finding a mentor/coach...some questions
I've read the books,played the hands,poured over this and that "other" unnamed forum daily, and even had a little success and feel like I'm missing something that is in my blind spot to further my game. I'm considering seeking out a mentor/coach or signing up for one of the instructional sites. I'm interested in bettering my skills in MTT'S. I don't use any HUD's and I'm a bankroll idiot,should I just try rectifying the roll mgmt and try a HUD first, or: 1) Do you folks feel the mentor/coach or the instructional site is the better way to go' 2)If I ...

Re:Best alternative internet connections in case of disasters?
I use a sprint BB card about 60 miles N of Indy (rural- no hi speed available here) and: it sucks balls point blank. Particularly bad on full tilt, where in conjunction with ftp's shitty reliabilty, it's good for a disconnect or 2 a day followed by approximately 5 minutes trying to reconnect whilst cursing and heading towards tiltytown.Also surfing the net is SLOW and painful.At least their customer service is horrible.GG me for signing a contract w/ them lol. I have a few friends with Verizons BB card and I must say it's much better. Actually useable.
