If you live in the US, good luck getting your money out of the on line sites. It is getting harder and taking longer than ever before.

I enjoy this community. I have had many hours of enjoyment playing for micro stakes, lurking and tossing a few bucks around.

The fundamental principle of poker is money. I play my money against someone else's money. If I win, I get his. If I lose, he gets mine. Not very complicated.

Unless you try to actually COLLECT your winnings from an on-line site these days.

Unfortunately, the trivial amounts that I have tried to withdraw are delayed again and again for one reason or another. Poker Stars and Full Tilt keep sending me e-mails telling me that my money will be coming in "7-10 business days." Yeah... that falls right in there with the 3 biggest lies in the history of mankind:

The check is in the mail.
I'll respect you in the morning.
We're from the government and we're here to help.

I pay what I owe when I owe it. When some anonymous people from who knows where start giving me excuses why I can't get my money....I stop doing business with them.

I am not accusing any sites of intentionally trying to rip me off. I am just saying that the political and legal issues involved have made it frustrating enough for me to not want to deal with it anymore.

At the end of a session, either you walk away with my money, or I walk away with yours. Don't make me wait 6-8 weeks for you to pay up.
