Hello everybody, I just wanted to let you all know about Poker Mountain's newest promotion (details below) and that I'll be over on a mopre regular basis. Have a good look at these promotions because they are giving a ton of money away: Our Mid-Winter Celebration has started. Join us now at Poker Mountain as we give away $25,000 in freerolls and bounties. Double Summit Points: now through Friday, March 4 we're giving away Double Summit Points 24 hours a day. That means you will get 2 Summit Points for every hand you play ($0.25 rake or above) and 16 Summit Points for every $1 in tournament fees paid. $10,000 One Table Freeroll: the ten players who earn the most Summit Points between now and midnight (Eastern) on March 4 will qualify to play for $10,000 in a special one table freeroll to be held on March 6. Bounties on Daniel and T.J.: your hosts Daniel Negreanu and T.J. Cloutier will be playing QuickStart tournaments most nights between 9:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. Eastern (6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Pacific) and Poker Mountain will pay you an instant double bounty when you knock either of them out. So if you're playing in a $50 QuickStart and bust one of them you'll receive $100 in your account, if you knock either one out of a $20 tourney you'll receive $40 right away. If one of them wins then the second place finisher will win the bounty. Freerolls: starting on March 12 you can use your Summit Points to enter daily freerolls with prizes ranging from $1,000 to $2,500. Saturday March 12, 3:00 p.m. EST: $1,000 freeroll entry fee: 800 Summit Points Sunday March 13, 3:00 p.m. EST: $2,500 freeroll entry fee: 2,000 Summit Points Monday March 14, 9:00 p.m. EST: $1,000 freeroll entry fee: 800 Summit Points Tuesday March 15, 9:00 p.m. EST: $2,500 freeroll entry fee: 2,000 Summit Points Wednesday March 16, 9:00 p.m. EST: $1,000 freeroll entry fee: 800 Summit Points Thursday March 17, 9:00 p.m. EST: $2,500 freeroll entry fee: 2,000 Summit Points Friday March 18, 9:00 p.m. EST: $1,000 freeroll entry fee: 800 Summit Points Saturday March 19, 3:00 p.m. EST: $2,500 freeroll entry fee: 2,000 Summit Points Sunday March 20, 3:00 p.m. EST: $1,000 freeroll entry fee: 800 Summit Points We're also offering a 100% deposit bonus (up to $500) and a $25 free entry into our Road to the Bellagio WPT Championship tourney when you open a real money account.

Hey Daniel can macs play on Poker Mountain (with out Virtual PC)? because you have no idea how much Pokerroom SUCKS,, the software crashes like every day. Anyway if it isn't mac compatible that is something worth considering, im sure you would be able to get everyone with a mac to sign up.

Question about PokerMountain. Is the 100% bonus still going? I have close to 500 on UB and if I can make that into 1000 for not doing anything, I'm all for it. Also, if it's still applicable, how does it work? Do you get the bonus released into your account once you play a certain amount of raked hands? etc.

[DanielNegreanu]

Well right off the bat you get a free $25 entry in the Bellagio satellite. To get your 100% deposit bonus you have to play a certain number of hands in live games or Quick Start tournaments. Other sites offer a similar promotion, but NOWHERE is it easier to get then on Poker Mountain.

[CavemanDoctor]

Thanks Daniel. I think I'll make the deposit.No code or anything is required I'm assuming.

[NormanHaupt]

It's asking for a registration code, which I don't have. lol

[UNCCwill]

Anyone know a registration code to get the signup bonus?

[Marcstar]

I'm transfering $500 to my neteller acct. Hopefully I'll deposit in the next few days.

[Marcstar]

Yeah so like others have asked do we need a code to get the bonus, entry, etc?

[EdBankz]

Use the code CARD to receive the bonus

i just signed up and i am very satisfied, i was on a table that froze up but they took care of it. i also had problems with the 100% bonus but i emailed support about it and they cleared it up in 5 mins. all in all the site shows alot of promise.

[Marcstar]

It's always good to hear about sites taking care of players. So far, besides the obvious lack of players I have not really heard any thing bad about the site. Sure some poeple will always have an opinion regarding software and what not but to me if the software is fairly fast I don't care much about anything else.From what I've seen the only thing I don't really like is how the sit and goes start you with 800 in chips and how the blinds go up every 10 hands. Seems too fast for me.

[Marcstar]

So an update, I deposited $500 last friday and have logged some good sessions. There are a few bugs that need to be worked out but overall I like the site and the promotions are great.

[pawnstarr]

If the rumors are true and PM is about to embark on a marketing campaign - then I would like to advise them to make depositing easier! I could go in to all the reasons, call it consulting - and then be able to write off poker as an expenses on my taxes. But I think I'll just whine here for a while instead.I found it extremely frustrating - and just hopped back over to PS where I had the roll and the games were aplenty.

I just signed up on Poker Mountain because everyone complains.. personally i dont think its THAT HORRIBLE.. but i cant figure out how to type.. i see the chat box.. but it wont let me type

E-mail customer support or just wait, my chat worked the next day. For some reason, there is a delay in turning on the chat feature.

[Marcstar]

pawnstarr,What problems did you have depositing? I used neteller. Once my funds finally got to neteller I went to PM and deposited and it was instant. Pretty simple.

[pawnstarr]

I was able to do it - same way you did. I moved money from another site - but there was a couple days lag. However, in order to attract (and steal market share) new players, they need to address the need for immediate gratification. When on any of the other major sites - I can deposit from a CC with no fee's, it's a considerable disadvantage.It doesn't matter that it CAN be done, what matters is can it be done in the easiest way possible? It's the same as giving someone a free card. Do you really want to give that new customer any reason at all to go to the competition? I suspect the PM folks are monitoring feedback in this "test" period - and my interest lies in the fact that I want the newbies to play and find the "cost of admission" is worth the thrill they get. The casual player and their regular contribution, puts more money in the pool for those of us who want to be profitible.You may discuss!

[Marcstar]

There are a lot of sites that it's hard to deposit on and you end up having to use Neteller. Many of the credit cards people have won't do transactions with gaming sites....so that's not really the sites fault. PM is working on a system that makes it easy to deposit without using neteller or firepay. It's not up and running yet.

[ChuckSty]

what kind of system are you talking about a new credit card system or what? just curious? becasue i hate using neteller and firepay, if i could just swipe the card it would be great. would that mean if you won your credit card debt would get paid off?
