but How often exactly have you withdrawn from Juicy. if you hadn't withdrawn from juicy for a handful of months its extremely unlikely that you got a withdrawal prior to mid october. cashouts to US players by cheque were taking over 5months at best.
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...&postcount=660 as an example.
How can you moan about the accuracy of the site reviews whilst putting out false information like this.HM2 and PT4 do work with WPN perfectly however you cannot use their HUDS whilst playing at Bovada. HEM and pokertracker comply with the sites wishes and switch off HUDs at sites which don't allow them. Hands can be downloaded and imported..i think you need to use a converter though and only real use is for analysing your own play since you won't get stats against other individual players.
There is a basic HUD available for bovada from Holdem indicator but with bovada stats only being for that table session actually getting a reliable sample size for most stats is unlikely.
You are playing 2nl . you have no idea how the rake rape that is the beast crushs winrates at the tables at which it applies making it extremely hard for players at 10 and 25nl to actually beat the rake and move up.Fish love it because they think they can win big money . they don't have a hope of any sizeable winnings. former SNE stars players are playing breakeven poker mass tabling for long periods of time playing break even or slightly losing poker to win the serious money. "normal" players do not stand a chance.
what is irresponsible is trying to make out that there is no risk for USA based players depositing to and from poker sites. There is always a risk for the sites that offer real money poker to USA based players and as such rest of the world players limit their exposure to those sites.Stars/full tilt and cereus were not shut down for offering poker to US players. They were shut down for the bank fraud that was necessary for them to accept and make payment to USA players that contravened UIGEA. As such they were committing federal crimes each time that those transactions went through and based on the fact that they were federal crimes DOJ used international law enforcement/money laundering agreements to seize the proceeds of those crimes internationally.
ROW players have experienced the pain of losing bankroll due to the actions of DOJ with regards to Full tilt and cereus where players funds were not segregated from company assets and were seized (aside from an internal frauds that were going on) so that it is easier for ROW players to stay away from the us facing sites.ROW players playing on US facing sites do so knowing that their funds could end up being seized and should be only putting money on those sites that they can afford to lose.
The reason that cashouts take/took so long is that rooms have to pay hefty payment processing fees to people who are facillitating a crime to make the payout back to USA players.Finding reliable processors willing to launder the money through the bank system is risky and many have simply stolen the money. Other rooms just operated a business model of acquiring players at extreme rakeback rates that effectively meant that they were certain to lose money before payment processing costs were included(lock poker).
You might not realise it but when i originally signed up most players at FTR were USA based players . FTR is never euro centric , black friday just meant that most USA players lost their bankrolls overnight or had them frozen and unavailable , many just left and stopped playing as they didn't want to experience a repeat. Your own post shows inaccuracies so why hold FTR to keep up with the fluid state of USA poker legislation when the number of potential signups at the moment is extremely low and sites terms and conditions have been changing weekly for some of this year. Never rely on 1 review when looking to sign up at a site, read forum threads dedicated to a site and find out problems/benefits that way before depositing.
the funny thing is that its actually the USA players that are stuck in the middle of nowhere and would love to get back into the mainstream of online world and have access to pokerstars real money games again. Why do you think many US online poker pros have emigrated if the USA is the centre of the poker world. there is no centre of the online poker world ...theres just the countries that have access to the elite sites like pokerstars and the disadvantaged who do not get access simply because of where they happen to live.
