This was due to a State law passed in 2006, and which survived a narrow court challenge in 2009. Once that challenge failed, the sites decided against continuing to offer play to Washington State. Unfortunately for them, it was too little too late. Viol...

After WA state players were barred from first Pokerstars and then Full Tilt, I found myself on LuvinPoker. Not the best software in the world, but still enjoyable all things considered.

Full Tilt announced that you could no longer play on their site from within the State of Washington back on November 10th of 2010. At that time I put in for a bank transfer for the bulk of my bankroll, at which time I was told processing would take 10-15 business days . . . . After about 20 business days I inquired to when I might see my funds,...

Why would anyone play on a site you can't get your money off of? It's not real money if you can't get the cash, is it? [i]Hello Curtis, Thank you for emailing Full Tilt Poker Support. Unfortunately we do not have any further updates at this time. We are currently working with our processors to determine the quickest ...

I cashed out my bankroll with a bank transfer when they blocked Washington residents on November 12th, and still have not received funds. All Full Tilt has to say is "sorry for the inconvenience" and "we're working on it" and "thank you for your patience" blah fucking blah. Is this the beginning of t...

My last blog was on June 1st, after winning what appears to have been the last Liquidpoker weekly tournament. I'm kinda bummed about that, as I looked forward to these Sunday meetings. But since so many LP'ers are now rockstars in the poker world, I guess they went by the wayside. It would be gr...

To be honest, I'm so outplayed by you all that I'm embarassed. I tried most of 2007 to hang with the LP'ers and earned a few ladder points, but my best showing had been a second (to myth, who had a bounty on his head,which went unclaimed I'm sorry to say) and third. I hadn't played in the weekly tournament since last Christmas. And I r...

I was doing well until I picked up pocket aces. UTG I raised 4x, only to have the player on my left re-raise. Though I really didn't want to get all in pre-flop so early in the game,...

Since I've only played real money games on pokerstars, I have no basis for comparison.

Go figure. Usually you find me playing $6.50 turbo two-tables. I played in $16 2-tables when my bankroll was bigger, but donking out in ten or fifteen minutes @ $16 a pop cuts into the roll pretty heavily. But today was different. I haven't played a $16 in a while, so today I thought I would give it a shot. Glad I did,...

I was able to win my first match in the HU tourney, but up against Roald in my second match I don't think I stood a chance.

If I seem excited about coming out twenty bucks ahead, it's because I'm used to losing twenty bucks instead. Four $6 sng's, two cashes, both thirds. Made a couple dollars at the fishing hole too. I think I'm on a roll.

Got up at 5 am and got in a two-table sng with a $6 buy in and quickly donked out. But I had time before work to try again, so I got in another. I played well, got good cards, and sucked out when I needed to enough to build a nice chip lead. But it was getting near time to go to work and I hadn't even gotten dressed yet.

Cards sucked. Game is rigged. The whole world is against me. I got all in with a/10 spades, against fives and queen high. Flop hit the queen and another five, and so ends my tourney.
