Zack,

I've seen you "imply" in other post like the one above that its possible for players to individually negotiate their own deals with sites. Maybe I'm reading in between the lines something that isn't there but would love to hear more about this.

edit: maybe you're talking about negotiating between players and affiliates more so than between players and the sites directly. I dunno...

HEM1 HUD isn't currently working on Draw It Twice tables, but support has confirmed this and is supposed to be working on a fix. However, it works fine for me on non bbj and bbj tables.

HEM2 on the other hand runs insanely slow on my computer that I can't even get started seeing whether the HUD works, or basically put any of the features to use (notecaddy, etc). Nothing I've tried has helped not make it run absolutely horrible. About to give up and try the PT4 beta I suppose. Or just stick it out with HEM1 until something better comes along.

Affiliates not sites.

I see people say this but mine does not work on any tables bbj, non-bbj, draw it twice, whatever. I know other people who have said the same thing so it's not just me that's crazy.

That really doesn't bother me. Think about it this way - - -

if I (an affiliate) can get the site some high volume players and fill tables - - then I would generate $ for the site, more than if the tables are empty. It's the cost of doing biz. This is the same as a salesman that doesn't necessarily sell anything but fills out the order and get $ on said sale.

I actually think affiliates are a good thing. How good of a deal do you think you could negotiate with the site as an individual? The affiliate can bring several number of players to a specific room - thus generating more revenue for the site and getting better RB deals for all involved. So what if he gets a piece.

[ReDLiNeMaKeDiKHaRd]

It's not a big deal he gets a piece. It's a big deal that there's competition and you're either naive, suck at negotiating, or just ****ing retarded if your affiliate is getting more than a few %.

I say that depends on what deal your affiliate was able to get you.

Glad they seem to have fixed more problems than I thought they would have by now, but are they saving the most important (annoying) problems for last or something? Nothing said about the poor button position, or making changes to the client to address the problems with viewing table player list without having to click the arrow.

[Tumaterminator]

lololol guy who ****s whores and updates us on the colors of his discharge has a "major qualm" with being condescended then tries to nab the rb customers hahahaha

i dont regret the nice words i wrote before though... everyone's intentions inevitably become apparent, and poker people are horrible at business. 2 facts of life unfortunately.

PS- didnt have time for portillos, giordano was terrific, wrigley is different than i expected in a good way/very fun park and time. they hang an 'L' flag after every loss (all night??) lol cubs. Cant wait 2 come back. Also- super sick Julien on the perfecto.

Supposedly there is an update to the software coming in the early morning hours Saturday, the site will be shut down from 1 a.m. to 2 a.m. for the update.

o the flush got there the straight got there and the board paired up.

hes betting still...

hmm i think he thinks i think hes strong therefore i must call with my second pair. (i.e. booger on tilt)


i would 100 perc take a loan out, write a check for 200k to any doctor that can miraculously cure my tilt issues, and then quit work to grind full time to pay back debt. thats how much of a fukiahfhsfaksjf jjwejwljefawjef leak it is
