Handy tip for the future.

Edit; they were down 12 hours and just came back.

Pokerstrategy.com is down since yesterday night. Maybe they did go out of busyness?

wrong

Daun again...

Are they referring to being blocked by the Russian Supervision Committee? Well, that's a big hit on their business because the Russian community is one of their biggest national facets and not every customer realises that there are easy ways to bypass the block (though I think it should never be done when a poker client is open because it would cause problems with the poker room's security team).

Fwiw, I've just browsed the Spanish forum of PS-gy via Tor and it's working fine.

Terrible translation. What he´s really saying is

"Oh man, you´re so lucky. It´s virtually impossible to blow up Pokerstrategy.com"

I'm not sure this belongs here, if it doesn't plz feel free to move it, anyways, my question is, are the online mtts softer during wsop time? I always had an intuition that since so many top mtt pros are in Vegas the poker stars daily mtts would be a whole lot easier? But I don't really play many online mtts so I have no idea . Anyone have any insight? ty so much

Omfg why did I click this.

Online mtts will always be full of the autist regs

Not sure this is best section for this thread but since PS revised price is around...
I've found a bunch of sites that compare empirically rake back among the rooms but they all seem to be based on information of a couple of years ago.

http://www.rakeatpoker.com/
http://www.rakeback.com/poker-rake/compare/
http://www.firsttimepokerplayer.com/...ke/structures/

Its hard to compare since complicated bonuses, rakeback and cashback deals with conditions that are hard to evaluate and compare are becoming more and more common. This makes it hard to compare the poker rooms in terms of rake, as each poker room has it's own (very complicated) rake structure.

How can we have a more detailed chart of the rake contributed and the rakeback we get from the rooms?

Semi-serious question funny enough to merit me coming out of retirement.

'Michael, this is a bit of a bizarre question - but sparked by something you said to me at A's leaving party (not sure if you remember the conversation, it was about midnight, just before I left for the last train).

You said that anyone with reasonable intelligence and decent numeracy could make money out of poker - you just need to learn a few basic rules and be prepared to work at it a bit.

I wondered if it might be something you could reasonably teach to bright, unemployed youths in Africa? As you probably know, cities like Addis have huge problems with rural unemployment. Even if someone is clever and has a secondary education, there just aren't many jobs for them. Most of the traditional approaches to youth employment generation rely on teaching them a vocational skill - which normally fails because the local market is small and there are huge barriers to the international market.

But poker gives a fantastic level playing field. Someone in Addis can't compete internationally in car manufacturing, or providing haircuts - but they can play poker with anyone in the world, and make money out of it.

So you could have a system where you teach youths to play poker, they log on to a pre-developed system (backed by some kind of insurance system so they can't lose money), play, and then winnings are distributed in some way between members.

The NGO could be called 'Gamblers without Borders'.

What do you think?

My dearest friend,


I am in unique position to help the peoples of Africa facing problems such as these. Due to a delay in circumstances beyond our control, funding for our program have been temporarily placed in limbo. If you would be kind enough to send me $80 via Western Union, I am certain I could secure the release of our funds, and you would be richly rewarded.

Your friend,

Friend, as poker is a negative sum game, it is not possible to teach masses ( even the poorest of the masses) to make a living.

I think you have not thought this through enough .... Why not PAY them to play, out of the rakeback generated ? You take the outcome (loss/win) risk. If you like, pay a bonus to players for winning or playing by the book.

A while ago PokerFarm, a prop busness (no relation to current ThePokerFarm as far as I know) ran that model, in LatAm, not Africa. .... Its demise was not a fault of the concept.

Doyle vs Todd Brunson?

Brunson is going to win that most of the time

Ive been watching all of the wsop episodes the last couple of weeks on youtube. Started with 2002 and im now on 2007. Im watching the episodes provided by gsv (goingsouthvideos) and noticed episode 6 is not anywhere on youtube. Did something happen on this episode that it needed to be taken down? Tried searching for it on multiple outlets and could not find it. Just curious as to why it does not seem to exist...any help is very much appreciated
