I do Canuck. Have for years currently on BM and 5Ds would love to play Full Tilt or PS (home games private) if they would open up something besides play chips. Im thinking they are doing something. I mean why announce to US that the site has reopened and allow us to play on the play chips side? I mean wtf ..they have to be strategizing something.

anyyea...looks like u asked so I am responding to your post about 3 back. I too would not have the patience or desire to play here on SBR I mean im not obsessing on amazon gift cards,etc. Now if they could run tourneys here and give out pre paid visas to winners...then we may be getting somewhere. I mean ...actually what is the diff between amazon cards and **** cards?\
I am a student again in life Canuck trying to major in mathematics ...so it is only genuine that I would like a side job attempting to grow a bankroll on an online poker site.

In the meantime I wire to 5dimes and BM ...I have noticed Canuck that BM and 5d's use same exact software and they coinceide (also wont allow me to run the poker software on 1 if I have it open on another)

last thing and im out. I think I, like many us players wish so bad our gov't would legalize and tax we dont have a problem with paying taxes on our winnings. Regulation is the problem now. we dont' all the way trust our money ,etc at costa rican books. If rigging poker can be profitable ... then does it happen? Cmon Canuck... I mean...wtf do we little people know about the mechanics of the sites. and is it rigged if it is built into the computer programs? I mean..its all just numbers...noone has to sit behind a screen and push a bad beat button. the more a player wins ...the higher the difficulty level goes up and the winning player loses more. the more he loses the more the difficulty level movies down, hence the losing player starts winning more. the idea is to keep players from cashing out and keep the money on the site. If I wire 200 and turn it to 1200 overnight and cash out 900 then the site is losing that money. However ..if I take 400 from joe blow and then joe green takes 250 from me and then joe blue takes 200 from joe green,etc,etc etc... joe blow eventually reloads and the cycle continues. the site takes in more and more money ... the idea here is to payout as little as possible. Ever wonder why FullTilt poker was accused as ponzi site? money wasn't there. It didn't have to be... they knew how to manipulate the action and as a result (just like in banking period) they didn't have the gold behind them to pay if everyone requested a payout at the same time...but that would never happen as long as u keep shuffling the money. Here is another way to look at it. ... I wire 1k to full tilt (because I am wanting to start my online poker career and exzibit and strict bankroll mngt plan and slowly but surely (the dream of all players)..slowly build that poker bankroll and live the good life. Problem: FullTilt had other plans..lol Once u get knocked over the head and that 1k is now a mere 700 ...(do we pull ourselves up by our boot straps and cash out??) .. no we don't .. if anything we do the opposite and move upstairs to the nose bleed tables and try the smash and grab theory and then move back down and scorn ourselves ..to never do that shit again. Problem again: poker chip rig! It's built in to the program.

As much as this is theory and I hope Im wrong...I know in my heart im not because I have seen it for years. Same simple reason when u r deep in a tourney and 2 small stacks go all in and someone with big stack calls and the computer throws that sick turn and/or river that bumps the 2 out and you were saying to yourself as the turn and river came.... watch it throw a 6...and it does of course ..the computer/calculator does its thing...its as simple as that. maximize profit , minimize loss

Salud!
