New Jersey Online Poker Thread - Page 252 - Internet Poker

It blows me away that some of you guys are giving Brilliant a hard time. He plays tons of tournies and does exceptionally well. Whatever his reasons are for playing or not playing a specific tournament makes no difference.

Yeah, I don't get it either. It's like hating on a puppy.

Anyways, most of it comes from the Party Poker pom pom crowd though

I don't think it party Pom Pom crowd. People just like to hate. It goes with the territory of being the lead poster of a forum.

Dude went out of his way to make a new account to flame. It's funny.

Count me in as a brilliant supporter. Don't care if he's bankroll managing or has prop bet. He's good for the game.

6% roi on party is exceptionally well?

And is even avoiding variance, if it were true, something that op thinks should embarrass anyone?

The logic is so bad that its an embarrassment and maybe the mods should just delete the 10 or so posts.

Adelson at it again. Legislation introduced in Congress to ban internet gambling nationwide. Anybody know the chances of this pos passing?

Common sense would say no, but it depends how many more politicians Adelson buys...

I tweeted at Corey Booker asking for a filibuster. He replied back saying "I agree that it is good for NJ and I will work to protect it"

Same issue. Holding for support for 5 minutes with some elevator music. Must have heard, "please hold the line a support representative will be with you shortly."

Deja Vu all over again. Feel like I am waiting for Dell, Microsoft, fill in the blank.

Eureka, 6 minutes picked up. "Have you turned off your machine", she asks. I show no problem with the account. Sorry for the inconvenience. "Will escalate to the technical team." You will receive an email follow up. Is there anything else?

OK.

So are NJ sites in general really horrible still? I'm thinking of finally starting to play on all of them.

Just read the last 20 pages and seems like everyone hates these sites still...??
