the site isn't that bad... [/ QUOTE ] When I did play there, the site froze/disconnected about once every 5-30 minutes. In addition, the whole look and feel is horrible - it's hard to tell when the action is on you, etc. |

That surprised me though because i figured somewhere in Europe would be number 2. wow, that IS a suprise. i would have thought UK. do you guys have online casino commercials there? not just poker, casinos. [/ QUOTE ] Granny, Our Canadian government has far more important issues and legislation matters on the table. For example, there's a huge bill to be passed that would increase our Member of Parliament salaries, grant them closer parking spaces, and have large lunch allowances. Frankly, some people might care a lot about this, but I don't give a hoots so long as online gambling legislation keeps going back to the bottom of the pile "to do" list under our Parliment. In Canada, our gambling laws are more relaxed and somewhat undefined. We also do not pay a dime in taxes if we win. As for poker room advertisements, Tiger Gaming advertises whenever the WPT in on. I have also heard a couple of poker rooms advertise on a couple of local sports radio stations. Unfortunately the market in Canada is still small compared to the US, but still it's better than nothing. I'm surprised Party and other's haven't had a more aggressive marketing approach in Canada.

There was a thread a couple months ago that explained that there is pretty much no doubt that an online poker player without a second job that has a greater level of income MUST pay taxes. The poster was some sort of financial guy. Even if it isnt your major source of income the odds are that it is definitely taxable. Windfall (lottery), random casino trips, and a game where you have shown a reasonapble expectation to win over time (winning poker player) are not the same. rJ |

Re: Pokerroom.com commercial
Really - having the timing bar underneath you, having your name highlighted in yellow, and having those big action boxes and the raise bar (for PL and NL) are a pretty good indication to me.

There are "peeking toms," and "listening-in toms!"
