I am looking for a trusted respected high stakes player to moderate a bet for me. The moderation is very simple, check VPP's on poker stars now (which might not even need to happen if Scottyy pm's back) and to confirm Super Nova Elite Jan 1 (which really doesn't need to happen either). So I am mainly looking for a high stakes trusted respected professional to escrow money with just a little bit of moderation. I will pay you a fee of $500 for your troubles.

Please PM, or post in thread of who I need to talk to.

Thanks,

Brian

ya and it doesn't matter where you live, what you're going to school for, how you're doing in school, how far along you are, or what your plans for the future are. 500k is the number.

1. sorry i havent been on a forum since maybe when i was playing counter strike, but do i sense sarcasm when you say you need 500k a year in poker to take a year or 2 off of school? I did not hit that number last year, but it all depends on the individual person to make that choice.

2. if online really is dead then living in vegas only makes sense for now?

Did you guys ever hear about FTP taking some money from you everytime you deposit?

I messaged my rakeback guy asking why I didnt get any rakeback for the past 2 months.

(note that I busted ~*50k in the past two months and deposited a ton at the end of june for WSOP stakes)...

He told me that deposit fees were deducted from the rakeback. Those fees were between 5000 and 6000$.

I mean jesus christ. I really lost 6000$ depositing on ftp?

I use moneybookers, and as long as I keep all my accounts in the same currency it's free to deposit/witdraw to whatever sites and bankaccounts. I've got a "pro gambler" vip account, but that's like ridic easy for any of you guys to get. I think it's like only a €1,8 or something fee for deposit/withdrawal with a regular account anyways (as long as you keep to the same currency obv).

klb, it's free for you but not the site. sites like ft charge you in terms of hits to your mgr.

phaze, i don't think there is a charge for withdrawls.

Hi, *me*.

Last month you still had a quite big deduction by FTP for ($5 880,00) for Player fees, which is usually for depositing. This brought your rake to a negative amount which is why you haven't received anything. Do you know why you might have such high fees? We can check to confirm with FTP what the deductions were for. We await your response to further assist you.
