  1. I didn't get any replies to my post for over a week. So, I stopped looking at this forum. On a whim I checked back tonight. I went to Omaha for a job interview. I was able to make it to the Horseshoe. The poker room looked nice, but they only had Hold 'Em (which isn't bad, but I like to play Stud sometimes, as well as Omaha). I went on a Tuesday night, so they may have more games spread on the weekend. The lowest limit they had was $3/$6. I only brought $200 to gamble with, so I went and played Craps. It looks like I may be moving to Omaha. I'll know for sure towards the end of the mo
  2. I have a ticket to the Stage 3 Poker Classic Qualifier ($580+20). Does anyone know of a way to get some money out of it instead of playing a Stage 3 SNG? Can I sell it somehow (at a discount of course), or is there a way to make a deal? I really suck at NL, and I think I have worn my luck out. I just entered the $1+.10 sub-qualifier to goof off, and then kept winning.
  3. I am going to Omaha, NE in a few weeks. I wanted to see if anyone can tell me about Poker Rooms in the area. I have seen that Binion's (Harrah's) Horseshoe in Council Bluffs has a room, but I am interested in finding out about any other places to play as well. Any commentary would be appreciated too (nice layout, tough 3-6 LHE, etc.).
  4. I am going to Seattle in a few weeks. Does anyone know of card rooms within an hour of downtown? I have seen a Seattle Poker Players' website, but it mostly identifies home games.
  5. I am curious about what people think is an appropriate buy-in for a session of L.H.E. I have read/seen that 300BB is an appropriate bankroll for a particular limit, but I am interested to hear about how much of that should be put in play at a single session to weather ups and downs. If there is a difference, I am more interested in B&M play. As an example of the kind of discussion I am looking for, I will toss out: Bring a total of 50BB, buy in for 30BB, and re-load for 10BB twice if necessary.
  6. In retrospect, I think this post was too simplistic for this forum. So, I believe I will just erase it.
  7. Can someone (perhaps someone railing) provide a detailed update? I don't have a Full Tilt account. GL Bass & Hoosier!
  8. I felt like I did think things through. But, you know this is a web posting forum. So, no, I did not spend a lot of time on it. Before I go any further, let me say that I am not a criminal attorney, nor a commercial litigator. Additionally, I was not/am not trying to provide legal advice, and you are not a client. Through my replies I am just trying to share some lay observations.It sounded like you were taking your attorney's advice (that there was little likelihood of criminal and/or civil activity) and interpreting it to mean that you were not culpable/liable and free to share your sto
  9. I am not sure what I would have done in your situation. After reading this post, though, I am thinking that at the very least you probably should have kept the story to yourself. While cashing the check may have been gray area for criminal prosecution, I would worry that the subsequent phone call with the P.P. representative might demonstrate an intent to defraud. For civil liability, I also wonder if that phone call opens you up to punitive damages; which might make filing suit worthwhile. It seems like you are relying on the lack of motivation for P.P. to pursue any action, rather than b
  10. I believe the 30% withheld is just an estimate of taxes due. If there is no special tax treaty provision for your country, calculate your net U.S. gambling income/loss, figure out how much actual tax is due, then if you owe less than the withheld amount file a U.S. return claiming a refund. Although it is probably best to contact a tax professional in your home country.
  11. Thanks. I know in B&M cardrooms the rule is English only at the table, but I have always played in the U.S. I wasn't sure if it was the same on the internet because there are so many international players. So, is the official rule when I am playing on FCP that chat is English only, even though it is a skin?
  12. I originally posted the following in the General Forum, but it was suggested that I post it here:I've been playing some L.H.E. on the lower limit tables here on F.C.P. Does anyone know why there isn't a buy-in minimum? I have seen players sit down with less than one BB. I thought about posting this on the Micro Limit Forum, but it really isn't a strategy question. Also, does anyone have any advice on what to do when the chat at a table is being conducted in a foreign language?

This question is pretty open to flaming, and I could use a laugh, so go ahead.
  14. You know, I never think about the age requirement because I am in my 30's. Is the age requirement at non-casino card rooms (like the Commerce) 21? If so, and your friend is 20, then check out the Indian Casinos with poker rooms. I know the age limit at the Chumash Casino in Santa Ynez, CA is only 18. It is also a full blown casino (just no dice).Oops, I just noticed the date of the original post. The underage player in question is probably of age by now.
  15. I think the all-in guy's hand should've been dead/folded. He failed to protect it. It sounds like the result was the same, but there would have been much less time wasted on the situation. I guess I am getting a little frustrated by the disregard for rules (for lack of a better term) I am running into these days. I was at a 2/4 LHE game last month and there were two guys left in a hand on the river. The board was Ah-9s-6h / 7d / 8c. The river was checked, one player showed A-J, and the other guy with 9h-10h mucked his hand face down. As the guy with A-J was about to take his pot, he said
