Ive never sent them any form of an ID and I get all my checks within a week usually. Check is the smart way to go because wire transfers can send red flags to uncle sam

hm...odd...maybe this is a new thing for ppl who haven't withdrawn before? (i never traditionally withdrawn, always sent $ to a friend who wanted to play)

i'm just scared cuz of this thread

FUll tilt is usually good with getting players their money (awhile back the gov. seized a bunch of the checks sent to players and full tilt just credited their account again then successfully sent the checks back). You shouldn't have anything to worry about imo

Play cog's style Great variance reducer.

i just got my check yesterday, cashed it at one of the check cashing places, i had to pay $32 bucks to cash it but w/e. it was drawn of a pretty big name bank, and the processor was in Cali, its wasnt a HUge amount of money but it was significant. it took a while to get the check, requested on the 4th got it yesterday. first time ive ever gotten a check, usually use the bank xfer method.

This guy plays on stars too, his pic looks like zoolander.

Damn, some Sghango is 5 tabling stars $110 with regulars. Played 8 matches with him and then he declined Must be bc of this hand, coz he said his only words during the battle.

Anybody knows who is he/she ?

Lol?

it was on stars

wait, wtf?

What type of check do they give you? Lets say I withdraw $100...I can't just take it to Bank of America and get $100 cash?

The first and only time i deposited was by credit card...?? so i don't have to worry about payment processor right?

wow crazy call.

only if you use wire transfer. all other options ive used dont charge fees........ all u need to provide ftp is a scan of your DL & an electric bill, phone etc., hell i used a CS order. after that the withdrawl option would be avail.

and yeah for $100 they prob will , mine was quite a bit more than that so they will put a hold on it less 250 usd for 7 bussiness days until it clears. plus they will put a 5 or 6 dollar fee on cashing the check,if your not an account holder at B of A,which is more on your $100 than check cashing place (3%)

Quit playing people who are aggro. It's soooo much more relaxing and easy to play someone that just calls w/any 2 and folds to most cbets. You grind them down and then have to lose 3-4 all-ins to lose the match. You and your silly 2% edges at $1ks....it's like two sharks fighting over a guppy, while the 500lb tuna swims right by. Move down to the $10 games and crush.

I've been using western union for withdrawls, and it's *really* nice. I get an email within a day or two giving the details of the WU transfer.

Just played an awful player who won two all ins against me to get back to even and then I turbospewed against him; he obv snap accepts rematch in which I beat him in 7 hands and then he snap declines

I said gg to him after the first one and everything!

this is not available to me, do you have to deposit this way to get it?

agree...i just withdrew via check

type in amount...and i'm guessing they'll just send a check to me that I can cash...(i hope there's no processing fee or something...i've never had fees for cashing a check before...)

i am fairly sure there is no such thing as a low variance style in husngs, only more and less effective ways to play

If you have a 14% ROI getting in 5 matches an hour it's the same in EV as having a 7% ROI getting in 10 matches an hour, but you'll have bigger $ downswings/upswings with the second. Playing cog's style (small ball, limping, passing up on marginally +EV spots early when you're really good at honing in on and adjusting later) tends to make matches longer and increase his ROI at the expense of hourly (generally), which is a lower variance style as most people conceive of it.

In no blind increases, for example, it's a very low variance strategy to just time down and wait until the opponent starts going crazy, even if this is a less effective (per hour) way of playing.

Hehehe, I'm kinda hesitant disagreeing with you because I'm a lowstakes player and you are...well...much much better than me at HUSNGs

Having said that, don't you think that if you're a GOOD player playing a style that lets you see A TON more flops (giving you many more opportunities to exploit a villain's mistakes), should allow you to somewhat decrease variance?

Obviously you have to be good post-flop though...

Compare livb's graph with Paul's...I would say Paul's graph shows less variance.

LivB:



Cog:



Note that I'm talking purely about variance, and NOT hourly or profitability. I do realize that livb plays higher stakes, so naturally there will be more variance...but you can just compare his graph to the average pro's graph, and you'll notice that he does seem to have less harsh swings.
