I mean more in terms of player base, but personally i’ve found with decent table selection a lot of nice fishy tables that are profitable too. Then again i’m only playing .50/1 & 1/2 NLHE
Neteller is dead and the owners are going on trial. Some people have had problems with banks freezing their accounts when transfers from online poker roll in. The only viable cash out option at this point is a check drawn from a bank and mailed to player. The inability to easily get money into sites, and the risk of doing so have somewhat dampened enthusiasim. And we are missing out on the loads of fish as these sites expand into russia and asia vastly expanding the player load.
yes i’m sure the asian market is huge
isn’t the yearly income for people in china like $4000 US/year?
Tons of money to gamble online with
I said Asian idiot. Ever heard of Japan? Yet another small minded person who thinks that US = the world. Not to mention that European markets are doing well.
Yes I’ve heard of Japan and I’ve also heard that ONLINE GAMBLING IS BANNED IN JAPAN
Even regular gambling is banned in Japan which is why they have those stupid pachinko parlors
damn that sure was some strong pwnsauce, lol
Touche. My point was that there are huge market growth regions still left for online poker and that Asia doesn’t equal China. I am still amazed that our government is so vastly concernced about nudity on television, gambling online by consenting adults and usage by consenting adults of steroids yet they don’t give a shit about education, crime or sending our soldiers overseas to die for NOTHING. I’m really pissed about the current state of our politicians.
i agree
just shut up.
edit: good win rewrew but I’m curious. How do you win the 8r at night when it starts at 10 am?? unless they added another one later i thought the last r was the $11 @ 10pm.?
he’s european. When he won it was at night his time.
makes sense.

I don’t get it?
You both played this hand pretty badly but once it gets to the river he’s got the 4th nuts do you think he should fold, esp considering how you played it?
Yea that was an awful play.
i shit
for a second there i thought i posted that. but seriously u shoulda had his money before the river.
I didn’t expect him to have flopped it as well, i have the nuts on turn with nothing in the pot, i should bet turn no doubt but wanted to see 10c for fun. Just bet massive overbet river to either make him think im on huge bluff or hopefully he has 10c, did not expect a cal from 8c
4th nuts in that situation is def not a call IMO, unless someone wants to explain why otherwise? Yes hand is played very strange (poor) But i think 2nd nuts is lowest he can call there.
That was such a bad hand, raise your hand when no one has raised before you.
Also, fullring is a waste of time, such less money.
With no action until the river he has no reason to think he’d behind, depending on your image obviously.
I’d probably do the exact same thing as he did given the action on that hand.
I know the hand was played bad all around (a lot easier to see in hindsight). But i think he makes bigger mistakes than me. We should have both been betting but him especially with the more vulnerable flush.
Like you said, less money at FR since everyone tightens up, hence i wouldn’t be making a play at a $6 pot on the river, without a decent hand. If a relatively short stack or very LAG player makes the same play as me i might call with his hand, not for everything i have in front of me.
At least this thread is somewhat active again. Anyone else have hand history’s worthy of discussion?
what a stupid hand.
I play a lot on FTP if anyone else does.
This is my name on there I play 3/6 through 25/50.
