Re: Imperial Poker (SPAM?)
I can actually answer this question very simply, since I use unique email addresses for every poker site.

Re: bankroll adjustment for whoring?
Actually, I find it very easy to handle this - money I earn from bonuses doesn't count toward my 300BB "bankroll" figures. I keep track of my winnings and bonus money seperately, and only move up in...

Re: Party Polo Sizing
That's what I thought too (XL was too big when I first got it), but the damn thing was 100% cotton - two cycles through the wash and air dry and the thing had still shrunk enough to be too tight.
