Is there any chance they implement MTT break uniformity? Annoying AF trying to get in a pee break or a sandwich with 6-10 tables going. I end up just blinding out several hands to take a brief break every few hours.

Cashouts pretty painless? Been 8 biz days haven't received a check, yet. +$5k on this site in two months since starting back up playing low-stakes MTTs... haven't played online since 2011.

Making it hard to mass multitable MTTs effectively is rec friendly so I highly doubt it's something that they ever implement.

I guess you're thinking a level or two above me. I interpreted it exactly as he said he meant it to be, and wasn't offended. If that was an insult to me as a black man, well, I just don't see it. But, like I said, I guess you're thinking a couple of levels above me. So be it.

Okay, I wasn't going to respond to this because it's pretty clear that we just have different opinions, but you clearly have good intentions so I'm going to give it a go.


As far as the initial joke goes, he either is telling the joke as a commentary on people wanting credit for doing the bare minimum rather than actually putting in effort to be a good person, or he's being racist. You said it was inappropriate for me to quote the joke in this context. Does that mean you think the initial joke was racist? Or did it become racist when I quoted it? If it became racist when I quoted it, what exactly made the context change?

If the initial joke was meant as a commentary on people doing the bare minimum, why is me referring to it in a context where a company(owned by a person) is doing the ethical minimum wrong?

I liked using the joke in this situation because I think it accurately points out how ridiculous the situation is, it puts it in a different contexts, and because both humor and imagery help people feel. There are thousands of people who are choosing to put their money on bodog, and I felt like doing what I could to make people fully realize the absurdity of doing so.

If we're pointing out things that people probably shouldn't say, or people not understanding reality, I think it would be closer to accurate to call the joke classist. There are certainly people of all races who are probably deserving of praise if they aren't in jail and they raise their kids. I grew up in awful crime ridden towns that were filled with people who really did not have much of a choice given their parents, financial situation, environment, and how the schools and government treated them. They are honestly worthy of praise if they simply don't steal, sell drugs, get a DUI, or become an addict.

You only have so much energy to fix the things that are wrong with the world. There's plenty of institutionalized racism (e.g. hiring processes and police quotas) and overt racism (see all the ridiculous trump ****) to focus on that will have significantly more impact than just blowing your figurative load whenever someone does anything that offends you. The key to eliminating racism isn't rage, it's making intelligent choices that actually change things.

I'm pretty bad with this new computer **** but figured it out. There are step-by-step instructions in the cash out thread and on YT. It's worth figuring out.

It doesn't have to be through a big bank. I'm using a Tucson Credit Union (not name of bank) that has like 3 branches to it.

no and they've made it abundantly clear they don't like grinders.

So I was in Vegas since Thursday night and haven't played since the 30th of January, seems like I missed a s**t show. Need to check my balance tonight. I keep a separate spreadsheet to keep track of my roll, hopefully nothing is missing.

What do you mean by will? Are they adding the Latin American market?

At first quick glance, Costa Rica is standing out to me as a real negative for the mid to high stakes nl games Not seeing enough recs with enough money from the other countries. Hope I'm wrong.

I think it will be very good for micro/low stakes and MTTs and not much different for higher stakes. I guess you'll get a few more good regs and a few more whales, but overall I wouldn't think there would be a ton of either. As far as American's living abroad, it's not like a huge % isn't VPNing into the site already anyway.

Is Brazil part of Latin America? Respond to that question and you have your answer.
