Message: [QUOTE="glworden, post: 991238, member: 35332"] 1. How do you feel about the laws governing online poker/gambling? [COLOR="DarkRed"]I'm very disturbed about the hypocricy of our government. The very people who wave the flag and babble about Land of the Free are the ones who want to impose their morality and values on the rest of us. UIGEA is terrbile and unfair.[/COLOR] 2. How much money do you spend monthly playing poker? Do you usually end up with more money than you had or less? [COLOR="DarkRed"]In live home games, I pretty much break even. Tough competition and tourney format where anything can happen. I rarely play at casinos, but when I do I play quite tight and have won every time in the half dozen times I play. Online, I've made small deposits ($50 or $100) months or years ago at several sites and haven't had to deposit since. Playing .10/.25 games, I've been averaging $200 to $500 profit a month.[/COLOR] 3. Why do you enjoy playing poker? [COLOR="DarkRed"]Poker is to chess what chess is to checkers. It's an intellectually challenging game where you have to think on many levels. Plus, you can make money. And home games with friends are fun, even if you don't make much money. But I don't always "enjoy" playing. It gets to be a grind and can be boring. Sometimes it's like a job.[/COLOR] 4. Have you ever encountered a rogue casino online? What was your experience therein? [COLOR="DarkRed"]I avoid them. I don't respond to e-mail come-ons and I check shady situations at CasinoMeister.com[/COLOR] 5. Have you ever encountered a player cheating online (i.e. collusion, bots, etc)? What did they do and what was your response (verbal, thought, or otherwise)? [COLOR="DarkRed"]My Bodog account was hacked by a key logger. He blew my entire BR of $900 in 15 minutes joy-riding. I complained vociferously to Bodog but they denied any responsibility. Their only compensation was a new bonus offer. I've learned to take computer security VERY seriously. One of my friends at the home game is always trying to short the pot, but he's an airhead, not a cheater, so we just watch him.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
