    Haven't watched your clip but I assume its the one with the guy dressed up as a shark and another as Helmuth. Still on I think. Must have started about 1 or 2 months ago.

    It's out a while and there are a couple of different ones.

    False advertising, btw.

    I hear there are no pros, hustlers or sharks allowed so you'd need to bear that in mind if you sign up. If they can prove you are a shark you might get into trouble...

    Whats your interest in the ad?
    The whole concept is a standing joke here because in reality the angle they are using to sell the site is demonstrably false.

    Ah i just have to do an essay on advertisement, what its about, who their target market is etc, and this ad just popped into my mind as i thought it was funny. As for what i think of the actual site i think its lame and it probably dosent work unless they kick you off it if your winning too much.:pac:

    Was going to open an account to clear a bonus because its also one of the sites that allows you get all the Poker Pro Labs software free if you earn 1500 points, but this sort of bothers me...

    Points are earned if you contribute to the pot and the hand was raked

    AFAIK most sites award you the points as long as you're dealt in, but here you need to play the hands to earn points, or is this more common than i think?

    Depends on the site. Dealt is more common with Ipoker, stars, full tilt being all dealt but Ongame is contributed and afaik microgaming is contributed as well but not 100% on that.

    Stop being so tight, be deserves at least 9 for that one.
    Come on, 3.5 years on boards, and you fell for that. For shame.

    Entraction is done by contribution as well. Just raise more. That'll fix it.
