Official IPoker Thread - Page 391 - Live Low-stakes No Limit Poker Forum

Well the thing is, that you take 40k out of the poker economy a month, that the losing player could have continued to play poker for and dump it in blackjack thus 'taking money from ipoker and giving to expekt'.

if he hadnt done this probably someone else would have. he probably turned some marginal players to losers and highered the average standard of play. how much off the deposited money will be raked eventually depends on the variance of skill among the players. if variance is low, the rake will be high, if variance is low the rake part will be low.

Nothing feels better than logging in at 8 AM, when it's painfully clear you are way to intoxicated to play profitable poker, and luckbox your way to a $2300 profit in 30 minutes

Edit: The smell of my sheets reminded me that the previous statement is not entirely true...

Poker players who are comfortable with the fact they play to make money and not stoke their egos. Must be a shocking concept for you guys who think you're playing an Olympic sport.

Has anyone succesfully setup a database over internet? If so, could you explain how you did it? I'm having problems with pg_hba.conf settings I guess... I made port forwards in my router and all that dyndns.com stuff.

It would be cool to get that working because I'm going to asia for 3 weeks.

How big is your database? I've seen 32Gb thumb drives which would suffice for the vast majority of databases.

What are people's opinions on Betfred? Not looking for a deal, just want to know what kind of experiences people have had there. Thanks!

Isn't that standard for weekdays during the day? Sometimes 3/6 doesn't even run at all.

i get why they bumhunt, its just funny to me the way they approach it since lots of bumhunters on other sites denies it. just not used to it.

that said, they def shouldnt be allowed to hold up all the tables that easy waiting for fish when theres limited amount of tables/limit.

My guess would be Thierry Henry from France (football).

He used is hand to stop the ball, so he could pass it to a team mate and win entry to the World cup by winning the match because of that goal instead of Ireland.

Btw. I agree with OP
