December 5, 2007 – 2:29 pm
Withdrawing funds from a Full Tilt Poker affiliate account is a pain in the ass! I can’t even get the site to keep my logged in long enough to request the withdrawal. Once I can get it to go through the funds are transferred to my poker account. Then I need to log into the [...]

What Happened to Poker Chip Tricks?
May 7, 2007 – 5:00 pm
I sold the Poker Chip Tricks site nearly 10 months ago. The only activity at the site since the changes in ownership have been different advertising and one a offering free poker chips when signing up through Poker Source Online.

Wow, what a crazy few days it’s been in the poker world. Lots of great posts out there about the new legislation/laws/whatever you want to call it. I won’t even try to explain any of it here. I will give my opinion though…I think the government is making a big mistake and it sucks. I’ve [...]
