and all your Christmas presents were sold at losses. Me, I work my job for free and at this merry time of the year actually pay my boss for the privelage.
grow up, and keep your opinions to yourself if they contribute nothing to others other than assuming you're the smartest person out there and the rest of us should be grateful for your insight

Completely agree. Love the people defending people like him. It only makes things like this more commonplace and accepted. Get a job an contribute something to society, instead of taking advantage of a horrible, unfortunate situation that American online poker players are put in.

Reminds me of the shoe ppl that buy out the Jordan's online and immediately post their receipts online to make a buck. Makes me sick.

It's an open market. As long as he's not doing anything to break site rules, nothing wrong with making a profit. He's not ripping anyone off and he's not breaking any rules. He's doing exactly what companies do every single day... buying a product at one price and selling it where the demand is at a higher price.

its also best to not unneccessarily slander someone's rep just because they're a competitor of yours in the open marketplace. I...ME...backed out of a trade with him 'cause I felt ya'all basically "bullied" him into "proving" his rep.

right is right & ya'all are so hatefully wrong it's too sad to dwell on such a beautiful day as Christmas Eve.

***BIZ rule*** The thread is to be looked upon only as a convenience to players having funding difficulties. Profiteering or transfer-business posts which state, say, that people have "unlimited" or large amounts to transfer for a set vig will probably be deleted.

Can we please delete all this stuff calling me a scumbag? Armen, you have bought thousands worth of funds off me with no problems whatsoever. Why would you come on here trashing me after doing business with me? I'm not breaking any rules, and I think I pay and sell at fair prices that are within the typical ranges paid/sold. Also LOL @ you Gunth jumping on the train.

edit: you are slandering my good name. I have never done anything to scam anyone, ever. In fact, most people who deal with me know I am very prompt and professional, definitely not a scumbag.

I also do not make posts claiming to buy unlimited amounts. Also, I play poker and stake players as well. I am not doing anything wrong.

This forum and thread were here long before the current nightmare of US online poker. I joined like 6 years ago for the simple reason of trying to figure out how to get my $T1000 i'd won on Pstars in an FPP freeroll.

Makes you sick? Not being able to enjoy a bink makes most players sick.

Attack those that create situations you disapprove of. Do something about it if it actually truly bothers you. There are many occupations i don't find particularly attractive, but i don't feed those people's kids either.

Like i said to the other one....grow up.

It's a free market and he is fulfilling a service. If people didn't need to use his service, they wouldn't. I'm sure there are people out there who, in desperate need of some money are very happy there is someone like him keeping the market liquid. If his service wasn't worth the price he was charging, people wouldn't do business with him. And why is it that people who are not good at poker take so much pride in telling people who are to "get a job"? As a matter of fact.....

Just sent fsu2010 a Greendot MoneyPak for $100. After he confirms receipt he will be sending $110 to my ACR(ILikeTurtles4). (Didn't feel like the vig amount was super unreasonable.) In other words, I didn't feel like the victim of profiteering.

Seriously though, don't feed the fire...they're just displaying their anger from the tables in a negative way. Me, I think everyone's rates stink...but then again, I'm greedy, lol.

Grow up? So you're such mature grownup with your "accept the world as it is" mentality.

Right, that's exactly what I'm doing: voicing my opinion. I think it's BS that he vultures the majority of Lock trades for .70 and sells them higher.

And I don't have to be a winning poker player to tell someone that hits refresh on the lock transfer page every 5 minutes looking for trades that I think it's pathetic. But yeah, I should probably "grow up".

first, i didn't say accept the world as it is; i said attack the causes that make it as such bothers you.

second, i don't know what you do for a living, but can guess that some out ther find it probably distasteful for whatever reason.

third, i'm not a winning player but am an enjoying player. so please don't interfere with what helps me enjoy it.

fourth, i doubt he gives a sheet what you think is pathetic just as you don't care if others think you are.

fifth, without a doubt you need to "grow up"

and lastly, most importantly of all....

Merry Christmas

You are not using the thread as a convenience for funding your action @ the tables. It's only for profit. That is clear violation of the biz rule regardless of whether or not you make it painfully obvious, although what you do is obv to many. I lost track of how many times i have PMed someone for a .8 or better trade within minutes of their post only to have them respond that they are already doing the trade with you. And we all know the only reason your doing it is to sell it back @ a higher rate. You are consistently getting in the way of people who actually need the trades for no reason except your financial gain. What would we as poker players ever do without you middlemaning a % out of every other trade that happens on this site? Hmmm...maybe not have to pay as much?

Also i would not be the least bit surprised if being connected with you was the reason a bunch of 2+2ers netspend/gd cards were shut down recently.

OMG, the pot calling the kettle black here!! I'm convinced my netspend card was whacked cause of two small trades with you. What have you posted thus far? A netspend acct cancelled, a WF acct cancelled, a Greendot acct cancelled....but, i'm sure you weren't making ANY profit whatsoever. They just randomly singled out your few & far between actions, right?

The WF account was the first one closed (months ago) and that happened before i was even able to do anything with it. No doubt in my mind it was poker related (seeing as a significant % of my income comes from OLP and i don't have any credit problems) even though i was never even able to do anything on the account aside from the initial deposit opening it. But seeing as the banks are able to just freeze money for months without any explanation i guess we'll never know the true reason.

My GD and NS cards were cancelled practically the day after someone i'm connected to did a significant trade with FSU, thru someone else i was connected to. All 3 of our accounts were shut down, along with many others who were connected to our 3 accounts, including an account that was never connected to OLP at all besides being connected to someone who was. There are also claims of being shut down from people that have no connection to my ns account. So obv your account was not shut down due to our 2 small trades but for something much bigger.

Wow, so now I'm responsible for this recent Netspend shutdown too? For your information, I don't even use Netspend or have an account. These accusations are baseless and absolutely absurd.

Nice response to all that

Btw, saying that i wouldn't be surprised at something does not equal an accusation genius.

As a UK citizen who had to relocate back to England following Black Friday, I've tried many methods of transferring funds back to the US, including:

1. PayPal
2. Bankwire
3. Opening up a USD account in the UK, and sending cheques
4. Withdrawals US-side via ATM using UK card

Time-frame and cost problems exist with all to one extent of another. I took another look online last week at which other services are available, and came across:

transferwise.com

Reviews here:

http://www.trustpilot.co.uk/review/transferwise.com

I trialled the service this week:

Monday: Withdrew $500 (£309.25)

Wednesday: £309.25 arrived in my UK account. Sent £309.25 to my US bank account via transferwise. The total fee was £1.04.

Thursday: $501.70 arrived in my US account. ($1.70 more than I withdrew from Stars!)

I don't think there can be anything out there that beats this for ease of use, cost, and time. I searched 2+2, but only saw one old reference to this company so I'm assuming many players are unaware of it.

----------------------------

I have no connection with this company or anyone to do with this company, and I have no interest in it other than my intentions to continue using the service. I'm a regular poster within the SSFR forums. This isn't spam.

*EDIT: Coincidentally, a new post with a reference to this company has just been posted as I typed this:

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...postcount=3058

So what methods are best to use for a Canadian player trying to get funds to a US bank account, into USD?

Basically I have xx,xxx sitting on PS/FTP and I want most of that money sitting in Chase bank or whatever. Maybe I'll post on fatwallet as well...

Note: I do not want to have to file FBAR, so no more than $10,000 can sit in my Canadian account at once.

I refuse to be egged into getting into any more debates with you over this. It's clear you don't like me, but I won't let you slander my name anymore. You know my opinions on the matter. I play and stake players, I'm not running a business.
The end.

I won't be saying any more on the matter because I'm not violating the rules.

Fsu, I've never used you but you are doing good work. Those that hate are very shortsighted.

Fsu takes plenty of risk and time by trading with a lot of unknowns. I'm sure he makes a profit but its not like he's going to retire off it. If guys like him disappeared the market would be even ****tier than it is now.
