Re(1): Question for those going to Macau
Dude, I heard it is like a one hour boat trip. I might be worth your while to get one, if you have time. 50 years from now you don't want to be what it would have been like to take a day tour of Hong Kong. Just my opinion, don't let the poker tables stop you from seeing the world. If you can get one in time it will be worth it even if later you say "china sucked."

these posts make him feel better when his moves ACTUALLY work. I laugh and think about stacking him with 66 v. K-Qo, gg 420.

Re(2): Todays AP release with some added insight
"This person was Scott Tom's best friend and actually lived at Scott Tom's house in Costa Rica. Scott Tom has been living in Panama for quite some time, and the day to day operations of AP were left to the care of his best friend and second in charge at AP. " LOLZ -- it wasn't my weed, it was my friends, stashing it in my room. Come on, if AP is run like this they deserve to be torpedoed.

Re(7): PokerScars: Their Response
I have a lot of respect for Nutz. He is right. Stars is fucked. It Hates the trap move real BAD. Somebody said stars doesn't like reasonable people. Bottom line is that i have won money everywhere except stars. It sucks when Stars seems like the only option. Lately i have played, with sucess at PlayersOnly, Full Tilt, and the Orleans Open $500 event. If somebody believes Stars is Fucked for them, they have usually seen enough poker to know the dif. People who flame, without experiencing, first hand, the NO ESCAPE FROM VARIENCE routine, probably will have tough times when they turn up at a ...

Re(5): Poll: Was Lee Childs ahead when he folded QQ?
No he was WAAAAAYYYYY behind. I like the way it took Phil Gordon forever to put childs on queens. Not to toot my own horn, but i said it right away. Going with my instinct. AA v. QQ, Childs knew it. Made great lay down.

Paid 100% on Players Only... about 6 weeks total
I jusst received my last 2 checks by currier today. I have now been issued all of the $1800 + i cashed out. The total time was about 6 weeks. I have to take this opportunity to appologize to Adam and the staff at Players Only for sweating them in any way. The Players Only staff did their best to get me these checks. They were straight with me about what was happening, even if it was not what i wanted to hear. Props to that site. Now i am happy to go back and play regularly there. I like that setup a lot. Again, to all thank you for being straight with me and showing patience, even if i did ...

Re(2): OMG: Justice Department Letter
without being too rude, I would ask them how they got access to your private financial information, as it is supposed to be confidential. Likely they got the information from the company that issued the check. I am sure that the authority stems from the Patriot Act, which gives the feds essentially the right to do whatever they want to your civil liberties, as long as it is done in the name of "freedom". This goes to show how a bunch of Stupid Government Lawyers in UTAH, run out of terror fighting to do in Salt Lake, and start to address the stuff that really matters like $300 checks for ...

Players Only Does Not pay out WD's, 6 weeks later
The only conclusion that i can come to is that i am not getting paid. I put my money in, won $1800 cashed out June 5, got confirmation, account showed WD, no cash, no e-mail saying my cash is coming, just half hearted assurances on this site that i will get paid. Players in working on a way to get me my money. Should that not have been considered before taking the money. Adam and the fives staff should be ashamed at letting this scam site advertise here. Is that the money you said you received from them Adam' What can i DO I grinded on a site that unlike Stars, actually deals realistically. ...

Players Only ... 6 weeks, $1800 cashout not here, WTF
i would not reccomend that anybody put money into Players Only. It appears to be a scam. i have not been comforted by anything said or done to this point. i am very disappointed at Pocket Fives for supporting a scam of a site. What else can you say about not getting paid. I won the $1800 fair and square, haven't sniffed the check. Told by everybody at Players Only that things are fine, Adam says he got his money. Where is mine. This is BS. Fives should not let that site advertise. People need paid. Tim

Re(2): Players Only .... 1800 owed, spooked by call to CS
What does that mean''' for all those trying to guess as to the vagueness of my thread, i attempted to cash out in early June for the $1800 i made playing limit hold-em over the course of about 1 week. I made 3 wd requests for 700, 500, 600, give or take. I received a wd receipt in about 30 seconds on each. I still have not heard anything on e-mail since. i gave customer service the benefit of the doubt on 15 business days. I tried to e-mail, got returned. I tried to calll CS yesterday and spoke to a nice Hispnaic lady who told me the "in the process" line. The thing that sucked most is that ...

Players Only Poker... Still no check 3+Weeks
Ok, so I posted earlier about not getting my checks. I still have not received them, or any word from customer service. Somebody from Players Only responded to my first post, and it was classy, and seemed straightforward, but words is just words when you are owed $1800+ for over 3 weeks. Here is the run down of my requests for w/d 6/4/07 Withdrawal Amount: $718.31 6/6/07 Withdrawal Amount: $625.00 6/6/07 Withdrawal Amount: $535.00 The reason I am posting this is because i am seriously worried about getting paid. The site had NO problem taking the money instantaneously. I have tried to send ...

Re(3): Guy accidently registers for a $5600 HU SNG....
Stars should have some type of additional pop-up that is triggered when a player is registering for a tournament that is unlike the others they have EVER played. It could also be connected with a MORE OBVIOUS regisitration screen v. Bankroll. It is TOO easy to check the box and go. This dude who registered for the $5600 feels like shit. The dude who acted like a money grubbing sorry ass should feel like shit because he is a piece of one. Anybody on this thread who thinks that the dude did right by denying the kid a deal sounds like a cool hardass on the forum, and you do. I think the kid was ...

Re(2): Poker Player Makeover.. I need big help
no offense taken, i just have not played enough live. BR no problem when maintained online, and the money from winnings always made it into my bank account. Just don't have the experience managing a cash money roll. I know that if i can play enough bigger dollar tourneys and games, the odds will shake out in my favor. The question is how do i get into all the big tournies' thanks for your advice. I just happen to be a lawyer, and i am unlike about 95% of the rest. I want to WIN POKER TOURNAMENTS. I know i have the ability, i need a plan.

Poker Player Makeover.. I need big help
OK, Here it goes. I am laying it all out on the table. Hopefully, this will be the first step towards a new goal. 1. I don't know how to classify myself as a player. I think I am Good, my results leave much to be desired. However, i do have at least functional skills (or found a couple amazing runs of luck) to get some credential cashes. My biggest accomplishment so far has been winning the Party $40k in Sept for 8K, party for 2.5k in sept. also. Live, I have played and cashed in 1 WSOP event, 2005 $1,000 (35th), final tabled 4 queens poker classic, and made other final tables at Sam's Town, ...

Re(2): US funds "safe" at pokerstars? Questions need answered
i guess the overall point, even if not clearly stated is that the gov't will make it impossible at some point to cash checks from poker destinations. Just because it hasn't happened yet is not an argument. The Feds sure seem to have US Banks scared, and all the major players in online poker finance have been shut down. It would not be hard for the Feds to put enough pressure on the US Banks to stop the cashing of poker checks. I am aware that they are not issued by Stars, but flagginng whatever institution issued the check should not be a problem. I have seen them come from a Bank in Fla. ...

US funds "safe" at pokerstars? Questions need answered
This is a scare post. Those with their heads firmly entrenched in sand need not respond. To them hope is ruling over logic. People will start to have serious problems getting their e-money off sites (not worth shit until converted). The options, for deposit and withdraw are constantly changing. At some point soon, if you do not get your money out somehow, you will be faced with losing it completely, or physically going to the Pokerstars bank to get your money. One can imagine the red tape involved in that. Pokerstars safe funds statement. This statement, if you think about the vague and ...

$50 VISA Gift card DECLINED
.... We are kidding ourselves if we believe that it is not over. Pokerstars say they keep all players money segregated. Guess what happens to a check that has been issued, and for whatever reason, not cashed. I wouldn't want a check from stars right now. Good thing I live in Vegas.
