I enjoy a small .50/1 or 1/2 Omaha Hi cash game or a HORSE tournament at night. I really don’t play online for real money anymore. In college PokerRoom.com was the site. It was great and can really get some decent money. Now its so flooeded. When I want to make some real cash, I go to Seneca and play 2/5 no limit or 3-6 limit. I rather see someone face to face.
Seriously that was awesome back then… 8 k up in a summer at 20 playing 3 hours a day while already at work.
I miss those days 
FT has been having thatproblemfor over a year, takes about 6 weeks
Haha ya helped with the $400 bar tab weekends
What your brother and his friend did is called colluding and it’s the bane of online poker. His account deserved to be frozen, not to mention banned and it is 100% cheating.
As far as the risk of your money being online, it’s nothing to really worry about as long as the website accepts American players. However, pick your sites wisely. IMO the only two I recommend are FTP and PS just because of how big they are they actually have something to lose by screwing people over. Not to mention FTP offers 27% rakeback and Stars has a great VIP program. PokerStars also has great customer service. I’ve been waiting on a withdrawal from them for a few weeks now and they gave me a 20% credit of my withdraw amount to my account.
They are having a bit of an issue right now with withdrawing via instant e-checks but it is not in relation to the new bill that was recently passed. That bill actually makes withdrawing easier, it just makes depositing harder.
As far as cashing out with FTP. If I were you guys I would take the paper check method. The checks for them are printed and mailed in Montreal so you would probably get that faster than a bank transfer.
Did you get your payment yet? I still see nothing from it in my account.
OK. Still nothing in my bank account but I just got an email from Full Tilt with this:
This is an automated message sent from Full Tilt Poker.
Player ID: xxxxxxxx
Date and Time: 2009-01-12 13:41:20
Transfer Number: PAY3C862DXXX
Amount: $30.00
Status: APPROVED
My cashout was for $300.00 and already approved so now I am just confused. I wish there was a phone number to call and ask what the hell is going on
Srsly there is no number to call? Theres gotta be a number. Thats just bad business.
Absolute Poker FTW
Ya I am seriously considering giving them any more money. I thought they had easy buyin/cash outs so thats why i went with them but this process to get my damn check is driving me nuts.
I like Ultimate Bet becuase of all the bonuses and how you clear parts every time you leave the table.
Ij ust remoted into my desktop and fired up FTP. I have $30 in my account. Still no $300 cashout tho. Lol.
Lemme know how it works out please
So it has been over a month and emailed FTP again after they told me its was delayed 2 weeks ago. Within two hours I have my cashout of $300 back in my account plus another 30 dollars.
Now I am pissed that they told me cashouts were just delayed and it would be processed eventually and now suddenly its back in my account. Checks only from now on.
Get off of Fult Tilt dude
its pretty much for all online poker sites. The best way is to just get a paper check. I cashed out $800 and got my check in two weeks later without a problem.
