    In Response to Re: Can an old dog learn new tricks? : This post is exceptional. I have no choice but to use a HUD when playing on stars as I would be at a significant disadvantage multitabling without it.... But I would 100% prefer huds to be banned across the board. This is one of the reasons I love Sky so much and is the only other site where I play any significant volume. Poker is a game of feel, flow and analysing your opponents.... Not a game of who can analyse the data that the computer has put together the best. Sky is by far the closest thing out there to a LIVE game & quite frankly I love testing my wits against people - not Robots

    Your Post is exceptional, too - you've explained it far better than I could.
     
    And who can blame you for using a HID on 'Stars? You'd be mad - & severely disadvantaged - not to.

    In Response to Re: Can an old dog learn new tricks? : At the time, there was indecent haste to climb on the bandwagon. Many of the sites were badly run though. Those have slowly disappeared.   Some sites were, at the time - excellent. In 2004 & 2005, I played a great deal on Ladbrokes, as did most of us in Europe. Something went terribly wrong there though, as all Industry followers know. I'd be surprised if their traffic is 10% of what it used to be. Now & then, I see posts by dreamers suggesting a rake free model is possible. Really? Not possible. Who pays for the overlay, the running costs, the fraud & CC guys, the credit card recharges, the up-front investment, staff costs, the cost of Licencing & Compliance? Mansion, when it started, was incred. They ran a $100,000 Guaranteed EVERY day, & it never made more than $50,000 from entries, & half of those were freebies. Lovely bit of software that was, too. Big - HUGE - company though, so they could afford it. They are still around. No idea how they are doing though. They'll survive, no worries there, they are multi-media.   Marc Goodwin - "Mr Cool" had, maybe, the best deal any pro ever had, relative to ability. Several hundred thousand dollars of buy-ins every year, they paid for him to travel to & from events on a private jet, & he only stayed in 5 star hotels.   Not everyone liked Marc, but I've always got on well with him, he treated me very kindly, & we shared some great experiences, especially during & straight after that big thing in Monte Carlo, the one where Ivey & Paul Jackson played that amazing hand. Marc collected about a quarter of a milly.   Marc treated Jen Mason & I to a helicopter trip back to Nice Airport, to save that 45 minute drive. Never been so scared in my life, whilst Miss Mason was sat there squealing with delight.  There you go, questions ramblingly answered.   Next up, UKPC, starting tomorrow, so I'll be up there until Sunday. Excited, nervous, worried, everything.  See you there.

    Mansion-that brings back some memories. I recall a Mansion Poker Open in Mayfair (Les Ambassadeurs), where I managed to bust out on Level 1 v a certain Mr Citrone.

    Their downfall (as a poker site) was swift-I recall qualifying for the wsop via them (on ipoker), only to discover I was their ONLY qualifier. They didn't even wish me good luck, whereas a rival ipoker skin looked after me in Vegas when they realised-no prixes for guessing where my ipoker roll was after that....

    Lordy.

    One?

    When they started, they had wonderful software. It was the first site I recall where you could move the position of your seat by clicking a button, & the table sort of rotated.
     
    The software was beautiful, silky smooth.

      Get wiv the program.
      We're waiting for you to play a bit.
      Thanks darlng.
      You'll be horrified to hear though that I can't chat at tables properly. For some reason, I can type owt I want in the chat box thingy, and pressing enter doesn't do anything. It sometimes works if I add extra fullstops etc, but it's just not on.
      Sort it out Sky! Someone deserves a kick in the hairy danglers.

      Good evening Mr.K

      Thanks for all the slendid work you and your collegues did over the weekend, please be careful with your entertaining as a slipped disc caused by doing the Hokey Cokey ( Or similar strenuous exertions ) can be most painful.

      Hokey cokey? Me? Are you serious Tom?

      Not me Sir, I'm more into break dancing, cutting moves, that sort of thing, bit of a Jason Nevins, me. In fact I feature in this video.
