Went to download the software today but im behind a firewall and its not working.

Looks like i cant take advantage of the fish

AJ - Thanks for feedback.

It's a case of being 'damned if you do, damned if you don't'.

Tribeca gets slated for being a crapshoot after a few levels because of it's blind level structure, so naturally if this not to be the case on VBP then, the blind structure is far more relaxed....which IMO allows for for more play.

As we noted before elsewhere, some prefer the turbo/speed games, some don't....everyone has their reasons.

One thing I will say, I believe that VBP has one of, if not the best, MTT structures on the internet ... principally as a result of their blinds and timing structures.

I have to disagree with you mick.....the main reason the MTTs are good is the crap week players,the structure is a great bonus.;)

On the subject of the long structures for STTs,I have to agree with Culchie that its a good thing.I used to play alot on Tribeca (I still play but not as often) and if you take a hit/make a bad call on Tribeca you are into a push or fold situation.On VBP the longer structure gives you time and the better players can take advantage of this.I have often been down to below 200 chips on VBP and came back to win,this is manley down to the long structure with a little help from the crap players.

No problem with VISA anyway.

Your first real money is matched 100%....in other words if your first deposit is $50 (minimum with a credit card) then Vegas Baby will give you another $50. T&C apply.

You are advertising on the radio Culchie? I have an awful feeling that isn't what is happening, but tell me what I am missing.........

Yeh, on newstalk in the evenings this week

ollyk1

basically the radio ad consists of Mrs Culchie giving grief about Mr. culchie heading out to play cards but he insists he's spending the night with her right after he finishes a "project" for work on the computer. The bluff gets through and a night of online cards ensues one assumes. Cue seriously cheesey voice over in a retro kind of way

anyone sad enough to have a downloadable clip of this cause I am sad enough to admit I want to hear it.

Obviously it will depend how long you play, and the stakes you play, but at .25/.50 on average I think 7 or 8 evening sessions get you there.

I can't answer the first question:o

Atlas_IRL

theirs an irish player on now peterx who goes all in on any card he gets basically

he's lost about 30 dollars already... i thought he was a fish at first but now i dont know what the hell he's doin...

In regards to the pop points,when playing STTs they do not go up unless the rake is $1 or more.

The reverse powers of advertising... I spent my journey home listening to Newstalk just to hear an ad. I think I was probably a bit late in the evening though.

Can you link the sound clip into your blog Culchie?

Is there much in the way of Omaha action at all?

None, it seems Omaha hasn't reached Canada yet....in fact I'm wondering if Texas Holdem has.

Boo! Omaha is the game of kings!
