ThePro19 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Just wanted to let you know that there will be no more moaning from me about internet poker. Why? Because after 24 hours of thinking about it, I have decided to quit. And why is that? Because the poker rooms don't give a damn about cheats and are happy to let them continue because, I presume, the cheats are still paying their wages. Last night I started a thread about a couple of cheats in the Will Hill freeroll on Friday and the player was still playing yesterday on my STT even though Will Hill said they had dealt with the matter. They had done nothing of the kind. I am no longer prepared to put my hard earned money into any internet poker site. I have withdrawn everything from both Littlewoods and SO - about £110. Incidentally, these are the only two sites where I have made a profit. I have left £13 or so in Betfair and will use that to try get it over £50. If I do, then I will withdraw that too and that will be the last of my internet poker playing... I hope. I may very occisionally delve into a freeroll, but I don't like freerolls/mtt's (online only) and I'm not really interested in them, so it won't be very often. If I do enter, however, then (so that you all know) I will go all-in within 5 hands. I do not wish to sit at a table for a couple of hours for 50 cents. If I don't at least double up within 5 hands then at least I will free myself up for something more interesting; a new JJB gym has just opened up about a mile from me, and I may have another go at Colin McRae Rally 2... it's been a while since I last played it - fantastic racing game. Not playing online will hopefully mean an earlier bedtime too... and that may mean I could go to the casino now and again - Wednesday nights at Broadway casino may not be a bad idea... £20 buy-in and they only get about 40 players or so on that night, so should mean an earlier finish. All that said, I will still make regular visits here as I do enjoy the banter. I would still like to play in any of the PL freerolls (e.g. Betfair freeroll) if possible - I know that will be a good game of poker. And I'm definitely still interested in any live games somewhere in the Midlands. Good luck to one and all. Hope your games are more profitable than mine were... but that shouldn't be difficult! :cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePro19 Posted February 20, 2006 Author Share Posted February 20, 2006 Re: No more moaning Well, just took the £13 to a 25p/50p NL cash table, and within 5 mins made it £27. Will now take that to some 6pak tourney's to increase. :beer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robilaruk Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 how to stop the chat Rather than give up, why not move accounts? try VC or another tribeca site as they DO chat ban - I mad a complaint about a couple of people and played on a STT with one of them again a week or so later - no chat ALL game from them Just a thought Damo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePro19 Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 Re: No more moaning Well, it's been 70 hours since I gave up online poker. Nausia and hallucinations are seting in. Today I had a date with the current Miss World and tomorrow I'm test driving the new F1 Ferrari car. Watching yesterday's DU didn't help much... wanted to be there. Currently in a state of denial; I don't want to play online poker. I have got to resist temptations. Just saw a thread about the free £7 on Titan Poker, so I had a look... nothing! Probably just as well. But, if anyone is going to give me free money, then why not attempt making something of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
