Just be sure to cash out that $25 before the site folds.

I got this too. Hopefully they're timing this with some legitimate advertising somewhere, so any new players can see a few more games running than usual.

I can't decide if you are trying to be funny or insulting....

Mike Haven has posted here for a long time and seems serious to me. I would guess that was a legitimate post.

There are several schemes out there that involve a pay per post marketing plan. I had not heard that ZeroRake had this, but it surely would explain the amount of posters we got when the site launched.

If this clause is in the terms there, then it removes any credibility of all these new posters that said "I am just posing because i am passionate about this". Passion, I guess, is defined as compensation.

thanks, drew

sorry - that was an attempt at humour - hence the /images/graemlins/wink.gif at the top of my post

i guess i should stick to complaining that the fourth flushcard aways rivers my top two pair at ZR

Not everyone is attuned to that European dry-as-a-martini-with-just-a-whisper-of-vermouth wit, but you gave me a good chuckle

I'm sure you've heard, but if not...
Trick Monkey: David Blaine's deal with Robert De Niro's Tribeca Productions
Tribeca Productions, the partnership between Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal, has formalized a first-look deal at MGM. Tribeca has made a deal to develop "Trick Monkey" a film based on the exploits of up-and-coming magician David Blaine, with De Niro and co-star Leonardo DiCaprio attached.

[Mike Haven]

it does?!?! you're not just trying to pull another funny are you??

i know you to be a serious poster and based on this information i have some serious reservations about playing there.

[Mike Haven]

i've only played a few hands there, relatively, in the big scheme of things, so i'm willing to say that i guess i'm just unlucky, and the two all in guys both with J6o and both flopping 66x must have all the luck i'm missing

[Alobar]

Ive played a few thousand hands there, and havent noticed anything unusual regarding the shuffle

[Mike Haven]

there ya go, MicroBob
