jcmoussa/Jay, you guys still in ME?

when can we find out who's at the featured table tomorrow? i'm at hellmuth's table tomorrow so i assume i got a pretty good shot. and if i am whats the deal how it works for the sites and wearing the logos will i just get approached by someone from stars with a brick of cash?

A friend who made the feature table for one of the Day 1's says he got 10k (from FTP I think), but not right away. He said that they will put the money in his account when it airs.

You've got a good shot but not sure if they put Hellmuth on there b2b days.

weeeeeee

stars logo people are exclusively PokerRoyalty, you will also get approached by people from other sites, including people who rep for FTP/UB/Abso/Doyle'sRoom

you dont have to worry about seeking people out, a friend of mine has been interning with poker logo people and apparently everyone in the industry swarms on TV table players immediately.

also i think they'll write you a check or put money onto the site (?) they should have all the answers immediately.

ya, only 34.5 tho ;/

fk just busted KK vs AA

rhino anyone?!?!?

they almost always pay your stars (or whatever) account, but otherwise, ya thats how it works

can we nip this in the bud please, obviously using the hsnl thread to target higher income people to advertise your **** to is not on.

man that jeep is sick. i'm not sure if i want that exact one or necessarily have the money to spend 25k on a car right now (about to fix mine up a bit and sell) but damn my mind was set on a g35 coupe and now i'm def. interested in that srt...

yea, 126k going into day 3. ****, i ****ing hate live poker though.

if anyone is in New York I need Cash and have FTP

so ****ing tilted from ME spew out on day1. Stinger cant comment on how awful trying to bluff that ****** was. fml.

Xpost for Legislation which obv no1 ever reads:

Hoping to get some input on my next move. Have a check from Pokerstars for around 5K. The check itself says it's a bank draft from the Bank of Ireland. Yesterday I go into the WF in the Las Vegas airport to cash it out.

The manager gets on the phone w/ someone and then comes back and says that the check will need to be sent to collections which will a) cost me a good amount of fees (she didn't say/know exact amount) and b) could take up to 60 days. Of course the main dilemma is that once this check gets sent to collections they might do something drastic?

So she gives me the option to just take the check back which I snap accept and then she recommended that I cancel the check and just get the money wired to me if at all possible. It should go w/o saying that I told her the money was payment for some consulting work and I didn't mention poker at any point.

So what's my play? Take it to another WF in Scottsdale and see if they will cash it? Open up a new bank account? Email Stars and ask them what to do or tell them to cancel the check ($25 fee I think).

Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

My only input is that Bank of America has never given me a hard time. I think WF is one of the nittier banks when it comes to this stuff. Maybe set up a BoA checking account just to deposit stuff like this?

can't believe how easy live high stakes poker is compared to online after playing in vegas this past week. seriously thinkin about becoming a live grinder.

99% of current breakeven 2/4 & 3/6 online multi-tabling regs would be a 5-8 bb/100 winner in 10/20 NL live games if they have the discipline to stay paitent.

hahahahhahha, that's funny, had no idea you posted this hours earlier

Thanks for shouting that out Troy.

they could probably have a better hourly rate and far less variance 12 tabling 50c/1 or something though.

this is sick to admit but i think i am probably no longer a profitable poker player.
This is mostly because no matter how much i try to enjoy playing...i simply loathe the game now. I used to love playing, learning, challenging myself but now its just like i go through the motions whenever i play..and when i try to get tricky i usually just get punished for it. It's so sick i remember when i got my first 10k br years ago i was on cloud 9 for a month thinking i finally attained financial independence/ security. At that point i wouldve not believed i ever wouldve made as much as i have from this game...but now i wish i never found poker. For a while now i have played purely because i am addicted to making money and feel less worthwhile when i am not in the pursuit of money. In general i used to feel like i was earning my money during the golden era but the new state of the games have dulled my sense of accomplishment. I have a great situation at home..but i am somewhat defined by poker and money here and bc i loathe the game so much that is really starting to bother me. When i get asked poker questions from acquaintances i usuallyjust change the subject and want to punch them in the face. Driving a 100k car is nice...but i truly dont feel much joy out of the things this game has allowed me to have...and its not a good feeling because i feel like an ungrateful POS for even complaining about not being content when i should. i'm basically wondering if any of you guys have ever felt anything similar and if so what did you do to change your mindset about all of this. Ok thats my kirby style cluster **** rant for the year...sorry/

durrrr, im talking to luke and he wanna do the durrrr challange but he need ftp $, can you hook him up? pm me if you want this to happen!

find some different challenges in your life, then I think you could look at poker as just a means of income and maybe play better.
