much more likely to happen now than 2-3 years ago. the clock is short

You also think 9/11 might have been an inside job, so your opinion is basically worthless.

[ ] believes he tracked number of hands dealt to accurately get to this number

So lets say you get 30 hands an hour. Takes 3 hours 20 mins for 100 hands. Playing lets say a $200NL game. You are making $10.20 an hour before any expenses are incurred.

If you think that is better than what you could do online ok.

you are a poker player so you should be a logical thinker, impossible for those two building and a third building to implode at free fall speed!

and yeah tracked accurately with poker Income pro
don't be so surprised get out to a casino and you will terrible play.

these threads are always started by an account i've never seen. your first post here is about merge getting seized. do you by any chance happen to work for cake or bodog? would make a hell of a lot of sense.

The question I'd like answering is how can ANY site be operating to a US market at present?

What is the legal difference between them and FTP/Stars?

^^^ interesting point mr bond

POTY

They are smaller.

Lol, exactly. I think some people make close to $10 an hour mass tabling 5NL.

Also, it seems like everybody I have played with live is an expert poker player. Constantly telling you how you should've played a hand. Either that or they are a degen lunatic that screams and yells when they lose a big pot. I do okay live, but I can't bring myself to play more than once or twice a month. I hate the general public, lol.

Therapy and dry-cleaning expenses too

different stroke for dif folks

i am the opposite i play online like twice a month

That is usually the first sign. As with FTP when in the Nov before Black Friday people started to notice their banks were not or could not process the deposits.

There is no check cashing problem... http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/28...hread-1026933/

Just massive vague assumptions with little or no analysis itt.

This started with a deposit discussion.

911 buddy!

Totally agree.

This is the 2nd time in the thread you have quoted me, changed the quote, and not indicated that you made your own changes. Please stop doing that.

Nobody can say with any kind of certainty what will or wont happen. All any of us can do is go on what has taken place in the past. And for this reason alone, as it has been said many times before in and out of this thread is DO NOT KEEP ANY MORE MONEY ON ANY SITE THAT YOU ARENT WILLING TO SAY BYE BYE TO. Plain and simple, how can any site really be trusted until the US is under regulation. Some will continue to play, some wont for obv reasons. But enough with all these scare tactic threads, its pointless.

That's because people who are out of touch with reality tend to actually turn a profit against softer competition.

In the grand scheme of things I don't think the DOJ cares less about Merge. They are small and once the US legalizes online poker they will be rendered moot.

merge isnt worth the time. its like pulling someone over for going 75 mph in a 70 mph speed zone....

Completely disagree. Yeah funds were mismanaged but FTP would have made up the missing money within a month or two if DOJ didn't seize domain and Alderney Gaming Commission didn't pull the license.

And they wouldn't have been missing so much money if DOJ didn't repeatidly seize funds and shut down processers.

I would say DOJ is 90% to blame and FTP 10%.

What I do agree with in your post is AP/UB was always a scam and I expected them to not have segregated funds.

And for what it's worth, my opinion of the merge situation is the DOJ may be able to take down a payment processer or two but they won't be able take down a web domain not registered in the US.

Every site since 2006 has had to deal with this. Pokerstars put it in their cost of doing business, segregated funds, and if lost would write it as an expense and refill the segregated funds to match on hand deposits. However, ftp allowed deposits to occur without debting banks for 6 months, never stopped HUGE distributions to owners until after BF, and never refilled player accounts. When your total year distributions is 30% of the liquidity on the site you have A)obligation to refill money after processors go down and B) Clearly shows mismanagement.

The DOJ doing what they have been doing for 6 years does not equate to being short on cash over 100 million$.

Whole point is ftp and UB/AP are unique cases and should not be analogous inherently with merge.

you really believe the DOJ is to blame for FTP???

hey, when you get a chance, fedex wahtever you're smoking to me. gotta be strong stuff if you think crooks who stole repeatedly from us are LESS TO BLAME than the gov't is lol.
