Yes ,given the recent track records of similar companies who tried breaking into such a mature market, especially if they target Americans with all of the issues that brings (processors, legal etc).

Just do me a favor and avoid the cliched "xxxx stole my money" posts later that usually are the end product of little rooms like this if and when they fail and do not pay back customers. Rakeback and bonus offers are fine and dandy but without context of the actual room being steady they do come with a lot of risk that many seem to just ignore.

Good luck there.

Sounds like you have everything worked out there sport. No doubt their massive software bugs will be fixed and they will be a force in the industry. Or something. Keep us updated with their progress as you may be part of the next big thing. You should look into an account at betonline as well while at it, they have a good bonus deal.

All the best.

I of course can't know how the site will turn out in the future, but what I do know is that; They have been more open about management/handling of player funds (segregation etc), than any other newly started site. Through out the last year they have had a massive pr campaign, not hiding who owners/developers/software providers/money processors are. Infact they have provided names/pics/carrier histories of everyone. The founders are Danish (like me) so maybe I'm a bit biased but looking objectively on it, you will find that so far they have had the least shady start up that any site has had in a long time. Yes they postponed the launch date but not without a thorough explanation.

Cool, good luck with the 2 NL or 5 NL or whichever ample games you play. Also, congrats on managing a post that did not end with "bro," as I know that had to be difficult.

Interesting point if and when you explain what your point is by posting that. You saying they run their business as well as Full Tilt?

actually 1/2 runs regularly atm.

ending my posts in bro was me employing an internet meme.

i don't really understand your last question.

The last question was to a different poster.

Hope that helps clarify matters for you somewhat.

I was curious why guys like you play in rooms like this. Most of the time rooms like this have threads when they steal players money or have fairly obvious shills spamming for them, so figure maybe I could get better insight.

Hope that helped though i did explain this with relatively small words in my original post in this thread as well.

Have fun there.

flagrantly incorrect use of the phrase "most of the time".

Lol, at least do some research before claiming stuff like this about a site you obviously know nothing about. Yes you are correct in that a majority of new started sites are shady, and should never be deposited to. I have no idea of knowing if this site will turn out to be shady as well, but they have done everything right so far (not software wise) but management. See my earlier post itt. I perfectly understand your scepticism towards new sites, it is well justified, I just think this site has done everything they possible could to be as open as possible about everything. They have not done anything yet to be called shady, and deserve and fair chance IMO.

Mine was instant, had MB(skrill) open when I did the transfer, updated the window and money was there. Just as it is on Stars and Party. Hope they'll ad neteller to their withdraw options soon.

The simplest way to do that is to ask people in the thread why they play there. the rest was having a little fun with people who like saying bro a lot.

I never called them shady, and you and others can do what you like with your money.

Have fun.

it's just weird that a bunch of ****ing 20 posts start spamming this thread.
The site is very good so far from my experience. Emailed support and got a response 15 minutes later. Rakeback is awesome.... and there are lots of tables in the nano stakes.

I wont lose sleep if I lose my nano stakes br though so.....................

4 posters with 20 or less posts itt, why is that weird? and are new posters not intitled to an opinion? I'm taking a shot here but I assume you also had less than 20 posts at some point, how did you get to your current post count, if you think posting with a post count under 20 is wrong?

Yeah, not really crazy about how this thread has been going so far. First of all, it's a little odd when everyone comes on here talking about how this site has been around for a long time as a freeroll site, yet it's pretty much never been talked about on 2+2. Now that it's open for real money play, we have threads instantly pop up in 3 different forums with mostly low post count posters talking it up, which is all the more surprising since so far, it's really just another site that doesn't accept US players - not like there's a real lack of those. At least three people infracted for spamming affiliate codes so far, and a poster banned for outright spamming the site in NVG. As well, High Pulse Poker as one word was added to the spam filter some time ago; that doesn't happen unless a site gets spammed a lot.

That's not to say this won't be a good site, or to imply they don't play by the rules - good chance it was a spammy affiliate or two that got the name in the filter, and all of the new posters could just be eager new players rather than shills. But I just wanted some of you guys to know you aren't helping the site. It's in its early days, and there's a definite danger of it getting to be known as a spammy site. I've had some enquiries about them advertising here, so there appears to be some will to do things the right way.

Cliffs: Stop spamming affiliate codes, and keep in mind that, fair or not, some of you newer posters may give others the impressions of being shills, so tread carefully.

High Pulse Poker is a Euro site started by danes, They have had a massive pr campaign for at least a year, you could check out the by far biggest pokernews site in scandinavia "pokernyhederne.com" ask for Kasper Saugmann he will let you know, you could also check weekly adds/articles in one of the biggest newspapers in Denmark (BT.dk), which has been running for at least 6 months. You could also check out one of the biggest poker forum in Northen Europe "Pokernet.dk" for info. This is not news, I'm sorry to inform you but the world of poker does excist outside USA and 2+2

edit: a 5 sec web search shows a fraction of news about this site dating back to oktober 2009

Sigh.

How did I know, in spite of how delicately I tried to put it, I'd be getting at least one defensive response?

Yes, I'm aware there is a poker world outside of 2+2, although I'm not sure what the remark about "outside USA and 2+2" means, since half of our pageviews come from outside the US. This isn't about US or non-US (aside from my remark about it being a non-US site, which only means it's surprising to see it getting hyped so much, as there is no lack of those sites currently), it's about the almost complete absence of this site being mentioned here previously, aside from some spammers. When a site never gets mentioned here, but we're told how big it is, and then there's suddenly threads all over the place as soon as it opens for real money, it looks a bit odd. The thread is fine, I'm just trying to explain why some of the posts ITT look a little strange and/or suspicious to some posters, and making some suggestions on how to proceed from here if you don't want to drag the site down.
