Audio Tapes Expose Ultimate Bet Cheating Scandal; Phil Hellmuth Responds (5)
7 days ago
Well I can see some one pulling the wool over Phil Hellmuth eyes and I never thought I would say this I feel sorry for him , it happens to us all every so often . Now I went to Patty Dukes page and I wasn't happy about how she brushed it aside in one small statement like that ends that ! No feelings one way or the other . now Why hasn't this guy been put in the BLACK BOOK ? Why is he still allowed to work in the gaming field ? I have been trying to register with ULTIMATE POKER from the day they opened there site with no luck thanks to them not saying you need a cellphone company that they will except ( T-Mobile ,SPRINT ,and AT&T only ) well that messed me up than now I have AT&T but my account is still stuck with the old cell number and this ultimate poker jumped the gun to be first online they cant handle the volume of emails they are running around like chickens with there heads cut off, and it takes a week just to acknowledge the email you sent them was received and they will be looking into it as soon as possible RIGHT! They don't know up from down very unprofessional ! I should be glad there was a screw up I could go to the tables and watch just cant log in to play that's were I found at least 5 players in 6 ring games at the same time on the same tables now I might pull off 2 games at the same time but 5 never never happen I don't care something smells ! I for one would not get on a table with any of them we used to call that playing against the HOUSE or against partners ether way you get squeezed and sent home broke ! Looks like we will be getting our share of online crooks here in the states to be careful ,I think I will wait to see what develops on the other sites ! Those cell phones don't come cheap !!!!

I was hoping that passage of online gaming here would mean a chance to play in Europe and other legal sites but the CASINO'S are going to screw us again by HOGGING it all for them selves ! Not giving me the freedom to chose were I want to play NOT WERE THEY TELL ME TO PLAY ! Here in lost Vegas threw urging from big gaming they passed a law again telling me were I can spend my MONEY by telling the banks here that they would be in violation of the law if they processed any clam's dealing with offshore card rooms no matter what the money was to be used for ! this happened just before BLACK FRIDAY . Now so many sites that I had played before wont even look at any one from the USA ! at the rate there moving there padukee we will be waiting another 3 years before we can play !

I shore hope they use a different set up than what there using for the machines in the Indian casino's since they do not fall under the same laws that all other casino's do, being on FED. land they don't fall under the same state law's thus they can set there machines to any pay out they want I guess that's why most of them are going under now because people are losing there money to fast and are STUCK WITH THAT ONE CASINO so there starting to come back to VEGAS . If they do get online it will be a long time before I play at there site, screw me once shame on you screw me twice shame on me !

New Jersey Becomes Third U.S. State to Legalize Online Poker (3)
79 days ago
I live in Las Vegas and play on a site called Card Player run by Zen Entertainment (free poker room ) they just started a 10% rake from these point games witch if they go for the money games is rather steep in my opinion but if they follow the rule of what ever they have to pay in TAX, will come out of the players pockets ! Also I don't think VEGAS will be to happy to take a back seat to N.J. as the head of online gaming sites & regulation That might stir up a hornets nest ! what ever they come up with is better than what we have now !

PokerStars must have something up there sleeve because what Reid is proposing from what I under stand would lock out any outside poker rooms . I know I can play PokerStars for free but no free rolls that have cash prizes in other words the US is locked out of any money games with most Co.s who want in on the market here so something I don't understand is going on because I can't see pokerstars waiting 5yrs after all the money they just spent on FTP ??>?

I have watched Howard Lederer & Cris Ferguson among lots of others and never thought for one minute they could be involved in some thing like this , it shakes the faith with all the money full tilt was making , They were on top one of the best sights to play at . I feel sorry not for them but for what they caused to happen to on line POKER . How sad.
