I am actually no longer in Philly. I was born and grew up in philly. I live a good 100 miles north now (closer to the Poconos). What's yur wife doing there?

I can definetly talk to my contact there about that. Perhaps we can combine it with a contest. My Bodog contact really wants us to get a big contest going here this football season with a good size prize but with a required deposit into Bodog in order to play in the contest. I was thinking, we can also combine that with a post-contest private poker tournament for all the players in the contest.

I have seen the worst beats in my life playing at the bigger rooms, especially pokerstars. I have seen shit that will make you think twice about playing online poker as a whole. I never see those types of terrible beats at Bodog as regularly. When they do happen, they are more rare there.

I believe Bodog's poker is legit. I have seen some number from my contact there and it really looks like all they are interested in is rake. When a poker room only cares about rake, thats a good thing. It means they aren't concerned with player balences and who is winning what. I really believe a lot of the big poker rooms out there try to keep the money in circulation and in the hands of players who cashout and deposit less often. I believe they achive this with an algo. I read some intreated stuff from guys who say this is exactly true and some of these poker rooms really do steal your money and all that 3rd part montioring is a complete crock and an under the table scheme.
