same thing with the pdf file and all,hope it works out for you.

is that possible too with jpeg files? or do you need to actually install something.

I won't mention the site as it's spamming but what are your thoughts on a p2p currency exchange where there is no charge, no fees and therefore the most efficient rates - perfect efficiency if you will with increased liquidity? An Ebay of currency with watertight escrow.

My friend launched it this week and I think it's going to be very useful for poker players travelling to countries who are getting buggered by the exchange rate. I know swapping online $ for live is sorted by the HS thread most of the time but not everyone uses that thread.

I'm sure something similar has been created but I don't know. Ebay has currency exchange but there are fees..He asked me for feedback so this seems like a good place to find out about any drawbacks!

other than those legal hassles of money laundering charges, nothing!

HU hypothetical etiquette question:

Euro site comes to the US for the first time. You make an account with a weird SN because you want it to be secret. A pro makes their name obvious (real name, perhaps). This is someone that has quit you before at HU on FTP and Stars, always saying NTY or "i dont want to play you".


Would you play them HU? If you say no, would you fault someone else for saying yes?

if it's someone i consider a real life friend then i'd never play them. casual acquaintance online (IM chat, forums), then it's a gray area for me and i wouldn't fault anyone for playing or not playing. for me personally, i'd say it depends, i lean towards not playing them.

if it's just some guy from the poker community and you have no connection to them, then no, why would you have any obligation not to play them? one price you pay for a sponsorship is loss of anonymity when playing online poker.

absolutely play them.

Does anyone have contact information for xJD KILLERx?
Please PM me if so! Thanks!

Also, sorry to hear sparks

Does anyone know who "Thats The Thing" is on FTP sitting 200x deep at 40/80 6-max?

$250 March Madness squares

(like superbowl squares but in march...and for basketball!)

cross-posting from MSNL, please post in the interest thread if you want in.

I think it's fine to play him, but it's nice not to.

in before prahlad retweets that

Isn't it kind of funny that Prah is super paranoid and convinced he's being cheated every time he loses, and that when he was being cheated for real by UB he just thought he sucked and quit?

Not at all. At the time he was being cheated, there hadn't been huge cheating scandals and UB was super reputable/had the highest stakes games online. At that time it would just sound ******ed to say "wow I'm being cheated." It would be more mature/rational to be like "wow, I used to be the best but I'm not anymore." Given that he was not making money, it would be rational to quit.

Then when it became evident that there was a huge cheating scandal where he got cheated out of huge freaking amounts, it would be reasonable to be like "wow, I did not suck afterall" and start playing again. It would also be "normal" to be super paranoid all the time, and let all the unrational "wow this is a little weird, it's happened to me before, I must be getting cheated" thoughts penetrate your brain and drive you crazy.

I am not trying to defend his actions, he has to get back to the point of realizing that the chances of him being cheated are very low (but not zero) and he needs a lot of evidence before going off, but the evolution of his thinking re cheating is not surprising at all. And I don't really find it funny, I think it's sad. I sometimes wonder where he'd be mentally/bankroll wise/confidence wise had the cheating thing never happened. He was amazingly ahead of the curve in his prime, and it's really a shame what happened to him.

i think its pretty sad tbh and feel bad for him. I know that my game got worse in the near term after the ub cheating- there were a buncha spots i wouldnt bluff in, and other affects on my game. Luckily i lost probably 1/3 my net $$ at the time n was able to recover, but its pretty sick to have lost way more. that said obv hes made a lot of decisions since which are pretty dumb...

I wouldn't blame anyone for playing them on secret name and I'd be firmly in the "it's part of online poker" crowd on this one. The important distinction I'd cite is that no TOS are being broken when you make a new screenname on a new site, so the other player who makes his identity obvious with his new SN had the option to protect himself from the inevitable by not doing so while being in the clear himself. Which obv is a clear contrast to MAing the same site (stars) where it's the people who play by the rules that are at a disadvantage to those that choose not to.

Pretty sure Mike Matusow got hit the hardest.

(In terms of emotional stabliity scale/confidence scale, not money)

Who knows how many purely UB pros just got destroyed and never came back to online poker! They might not even know they got refunds because they got superused so hard they just quit and got a 9-5.

that jose prodigy guy said he posts on 2p2 in strat, anyone know where he posts"? didnt see his posts, but i dont know his sn either.

Girah

I've responded to Prahlad's accusations over in NVG: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...&postcount=335

^^^ Cliffs are what you'd expect. Ike says he didn't share accounts with ZJ. It does turn out that that was in fact ike's account. Obviously that's fine since UB and AP allow one account on each site.

Excellent post Ike. I'd love to see Prahlad reply to that.

fwiw fees, i can back up what you said. He also admitted it to me when i asked him about it.
