    Attention: Bill Dozer. CC: SBR Management
    Gentlemen,

    As of January 23rd, 91 members have signed the Poker-Room Petition found here. This is I think the first petition to get this many signatures in such a short amount of time, and we're still going.

    I believe some of us who have signed this now deserve some additional details regarding the upcoming Poker-Room. Amongst our top inquires are the time-line, the type of games offered, stakes, and tournaments.

    Your effort is much appreciated, and we'd certainly be glad to get a word or two from you, especially regarding the time-line.

    Respectfully,
    John Anthony

      Your fast confirmation in the petition thread was very much appreciated.

      Sir, I hope that soon, in your dictionary - is a number of days no longer than 14 days. I'd be happy to give the boys something to cheer and look up for "soon" enough.

      Thank you again.

                Hi boys first off hello. I check the board out once a day to keep up to date on the issues. As you know I am playing poker professionally now and well things are not going as well as I expected. I have dropped 16,000 so far and lucky I have a guy sponsoring me so I have been lucky. I do not know how long this guy is going to fund me because I keep promising solid returns in the future. Some has been a bad run of the cards and other times I just bluff and currently have a streak of 94 hands in a row of staying in. I bluff 78% of the time and guys not giving in. The other night I had 10 high only and with a $4000 pot and everyone folded except this one drunk from England and he beat me with a pair of 10's.

                Well I got so mad at him and got thrown out of Ladbrokes for threatening to kill him. I was just trying to intimidate him to fold and he would not give in. My strategy of threatening players has worked on and off and I have told other players to leave game or I am coming for him. Some good players would leave but this one guy turned me in and copy and pasted my threats to management and now I am banned there and 3 other poker rooms.

                Paradise I got thrown out after 5 days for telling three players they were gay and like it in the ass. What babies to tell customer service.

                So many poker players are cowards unlike sportsbettors and don't like the heat of the game. I like using intimidation and I do not know why that is unethical or illegal. I do not see it in the rules.


                Finally hanging in there in baseball and the big news is I got a job hanging coats (coat checker) at a restaurant and making decent money which also prevents me from posting much anymore. I cleared $200 last night and then went over to a street dice game on 6th street and built it to 2 dimes and treated myself to 2 sundaes and 3 ice cream cones with chocolate sprinkles. My rug is not holding up so good with the warm weather because the glue comes through the net and any time I touch my forhead or head my fingers get all fukkin glue and shit on them and the hair gets all glue and shit in it like globs but I hide it well.

                Still cannot get women to even touch my pecker so the streak continues

                My debt right now is 64 Dimes but I should be paid up by Christmas and I expect big poker gains very soon.

                I am a professional player that is just on a bad run and it happens to the best of them.

                Talk to you boys another time and good luck with your plays. I am now off to the poker rooms now.


                Peep I will see you in Knoxville this summer for the Linux convention.

                  compaqDikk, keep your personal conflicts with others, especially the fine JJ Gold, out of my thread. Thank you.

                    Are people really that broke that they can't deposit $100 or whatever and actually play poker for money? I can sort of understand using the book since you're already handicapping games, but people are seriously looking to devote hours upon hours for pennies? LOL. Jesus.

                            If there are places to play already it's SO difficult to say, "Anyone that wants to play NL meet me at table XXX on FTP." You're right there's way too much of that going on here. This way we can FINALLY get rid of all of those threads. It's certainly not about the points. Right, genius?

                                  Just to let you poker guys and poker-petition signers know that I am still following up on this case and will do everything I can to get the SBR poker room up and running as fast as I can make the SBR guys do it.

                                  According to John's statement here, we should be getting a timeline within a week.

                                          What stops two posters from going to AIM and try to defraud the system in a poker room? This has fraud written in it all over the place.

                                            Exactly the thing that stops two poker players from doing it @ Full Tilt and PokerStars. I leave this to SBR.

                                                You think SBR will invest in Full Tilt and PokerStars security software so people can play for points?

                                                  I'm sure it'll be much easier to collude and there will be much more collusion on here than there would be on Tilt or Stars though...

                                                    It is not hard to play at Full Tilt though...

                                                        MTT tourneys are tough to collude in. Thats what I'll play. Not because I'm afraid of collusion its just what I like to do the most. Some people just look for reasons to shit on a good idea IMO.
