How will the traffic at the different forums develop? New hand histories may not come from the USA, and that´s a substantial part of the traffic of 2+2. Of course time will tell, but I think this can be discussed as everything else relevant. Making flexible plans is always a plus.

I'm a bit sorry this theme got moved from "About the Forums"

I have a few friends that I trust implicitly overseas. Can they access my Full Tilt Poker account for me, and withdraw, from overseas? Can the money be sent to them, instead of to me?

Can I donate my entire bankroll to charity somehow?

what is the min buy on the ipoker network these days, is it still 20bb?

We survived the neteller incident, we survived party poker's exit from the US, we survive the UIGEA and we will survive this. If we have patience and focus our anger and attention into something productive we have nothing to fear. I for one will at least enjoy the extra time with my daughter while the dust settles.

I love your optimism but I don't think Full Tilt is going to survive the federal government this time. Within a month all poker sites will be shut down for who knows how long. Full Tilt being the high power it is in the poker world is going to be hit (and is) the hardest. With billions of dollars in fines and the head looking at 30 years in jail...no way it will come back unless Full Tilt signs a contract with the government allowing taxation (which will be extremely high). I bet the government will make their own poker site instead of letting other run theres.

What is the email address to ub support? I need to email them about money I have there.

Perhaps we should rename the Zoo: "Politards II"?

(just opened up the FBI closes Star+FT thread and found a discussion about the merits of war going on - WTF?)

Juk

were the people who were actually indicted living in the usa?

is carbon poker safe for US players? are they involved in any of the shady banking methods that the big 3 sites were involved with? the site says that they are licensed and regulated. i was going to try it out but i'm not sure if it's wiser to just wait until all the "black friday" smoke clears. suggestions?

Do people ever do eBay/Paypal for **** cash transfers? I would do it in small chunks so that it is always pays the other guy more to honor each chunk rather than run away with the money. Zero risk for the other party, essentially free money (except for going through the hassle itself).

If yes, where do I post my offer?

Thanks

Edit/MH: No arranging p2p trading with Paypal allowed on Twoplustwo. Too easy to scam. Transfers can be reversed for up to 45 days, legitimately, as gambling is involved.

Okay, so we know FTP, Stars, etc. have operated on shady legal ground regarding US deposits and whatnot, and now the piper is being paid.

My question: For a Canadian, is PartyPoker entirely on the up and up? I'd like to continue playing poker for a living, but with FTP now facing serious legal issues, I'd like to play somewhere where the player bases and games won't be doomswitched overnight.

What site do you recommend for 50NL-100NL FR / 6max with good traffic and softer then Stars or Tilt?

I have a 55% RB deal on ipoker and 35% on merge. I'm thinking about just playing on ipoker because of the better RB but i've heard the site is a nitfest for SSNL.... Ongame could be another option as i can probably get like 75% RB, but i've never played there and have no idea how the network is.

Any opinions?

When do i get pm privelege? I really want to be able to get a trade with an amazon code for stars money but i do not have pm priveleges yet

I sent it a few days ago and I havent heard anything back. In my experience they tend to send an automated message when you send them something, but I havent had one.

Are they unable to access the messages as it was probably on the US domain name that has been shut down?

Many online pros in the USA are now talking about trying their luck live in Las Vegas as a pro. This is a big change. Much slower play, only one table at a time, bigger casino rake, tips to dealers, where to live, etc. In this thread we can discuss the pros and cons about going from internet pro to Vegas pro.

Well, I've heard that the games in vegas are much tougher now than a few years ago...now all the pros are heading to vegas? there's only so many fish to go around....where's the edge?

Next thing I expect to see:
Foreign PROXY players offering to set up proxy accounts for US players for a nominal fee (X 10,000,000 American players? ). They could set up a legal company in the UK for instance keeping your money in a segregated account -- accountable to UK prison if they take off with the hoard (unless maybe they take off to Russia ).

This might not be illegal under US law because the proxy players are not in the gambling business. It would be like a relative setting up an account for you in their name (that will surely happen). All the money laundering -- if that be what it would be -- would be outside US jurisdiction.

lol ok i wasn't doing anything shady just signed up to a forum and posted in threads

I am playing in a cash freeroll on full tilt

Does anyone know the new blackcard FTP support email address?

blackcard@fulltiltpoker.com does not work now

Hey,

Non-us player here.
Trying to d/l FTP client from http://www.fulltiltpoker.co.uk, when installing I am getting:

"Install integrity check has failed. Common causes include incomplete download and damaged media. Contact the install's author to obtain a new copy."

Using Vista.

Tried it several times, and always getting this error message.

I know it. DontBother.com

Alkehall

It's almost bound to be blackcard@fulltiltpoker.co.uk

are you guys downplaying the risk that our cash balances are gone forever? seems like twoplustwo members are placing to much trust in an illegal money laundering/ wire fraud outpost --as per statement.

ever heard of a bank run? hundred of millions of dollars pulled from rake.. operating expenses-yeah right. legal defense and fines will throw ethics out the door, im expecting nasty secrets coming out. the doj/fbi will present stats about how many losers stars/tilt had.

ever hear of a drug dealer getting arrested and allowed to keep the stash? the big players with huge balances >over 100k with history of p2p transfers should expect the men in black to be asking questions. pigs are ruthless, they will kick down your door
