!@#%!&%@$%@$%Somethings working...I just got my Congratulations email...I finished 35th.WTF!!!I sent them a note...starting to think it may be something with my ISP...but it's so freakin' weird. I just can't get to anything pokerstars and I can't get to European sites, like BBC.com and such.

suck...wonder what my issue is then...was doing well...I can't seem to do anything with pstars...support site down too (at least for me.)

Are you on P-stars now? I was in the middle of a tourney when it froze, and have tried to log on via two different computers...my network status says Pokerstars Web Server is down, and a couple of other sites are un-reachable.

Anyone having problems access European, specifically British, websites...Pokerstars seems to be down also.

There's a lot of cool card toppers out there...that'd make a nice stocking stuffer.

I've been playing online for a few months now. I play at Paradise Poker, and have been playing strickly SnG's for practice. Been doing pretty well. However, I'm pretty frustrated with the Rake, it's 20%. I play at the $5.00 table and it costs an extra buck to play. As the table stakes go up, the rake stays at 20%. Ridiculous.I was wondering what other sites charge. Who has the best Rake vs Good Play and all.I did a search to try and find a thread that talks about this, but was unable to find it.Any help would be appreciated.

Playing in a $5 MTT, mid round, blinds are 100/200 with 25 ante. I had 1300 chips left and was on the button.Had AQ off suit and called three callers (no one raised). SB went all in and had me covered.UTG called and was covered too.Everyone else folded to me and I called.SB showed Ac3cUTG showed AJ offsuitLSS, cards came 3KKK8 and SB won with Full Boat.Questions:Would it have been better to raise first on the button to put some fear in the SB?On the all in call, should I have taken into account the UTG call and only go HU with a hand like AQ so fold with two people in the pot? What would th

I know, I know...it was stoooopid...I'm learning!!!!

Noob question...what's the juice?

I've been playing online for a few months now, so I'd seriously qualify as a donk. That said, I get a little miffed at "pro's" who get ticked off when they get called by an inferior hand and get sucked out on and start whinning.For example, I was playing in an NLH tourney in a middle to late round where I had like 44k in chips. UTG raised 2x BB and 3 others called. I had KJ off and called from the button . The SB folded and BB goes all in. Everyone folded to me and I called . He had 15k more chips than I had.He flipped QQ.Long story short, I hit the straight and he freaked ...the
