PokerStars New Black UI is Sweet..

I really like PokerStars, but their UI has never been particularly appealing. Their new Black UI (in beta) looks really nice. I can’t say it’s the best I’ve seen- but it’s great to see that they’re making moves in the right direction.

What’s the Deal with Deposits?

Posted in Poker Sites on March 11, 2008 | No Comments »

After placing 3rd in another play money tourney tonight, I decided to try my hand at real money again.
Last time I deposited, I had to try about 6 different cards before Full Tilt could finally process it. I guess some banks have restrictions on money transfers to gambling sites?

Bad Night

Some nights I just can’t catch a good hand.

I downloaded Full Tilt Poker tonight. It seems to be pretty popular among the poker blogs I was browsing around tonight…
I’ll try it out tomorrow (3:40am is a bit late to start trying new things) and let you know how it compares to PokerStars.
