You mean like playing fish who are going flush every dollar they win from you into the "blackjack side bet." Sounds like a great way to keep them at the table.

Enjoy.

Yep. Agree.

I just opened an account on Pokershare through a fine affiliate.

I can see a similarity between this situation and the Athenian Empire and the Delian League. After decades of paying Athens to provide defense the members of the Delian League fond themselves basically clients since they had could no longer defend themselves versus Athens or others. Similiarly, after years of having Party Poker provide advertising and building a player base the other Party skins don't have independent platforms and the "fish" to go it alone.

I agree with you. I think the skins will bail from the Party Network as soon as their contracts are up. I am surprised the skins did not have a clause in the contact binding PartyPoker.com to the skins network. The next year or two will be very interesting for the online poker world!

Thank you,

Im in an AP history class and my teacher keeps preaching about how history repeats itself and you can predict the future by knowing your history. I like the Delian league analogy. I can't think of another example at the moment :'(

I'm expecting to see a marketing push from the skins and all the major sites trying to keep or pick up players during this shake up.

There should be some very good offers in the pipeline, even from Party.

Uh, isnt "A.P." Advanced Placement?

As in, advanced placement into college courses?

As in, you are in High School? Anybody have a problem with High Schoolers playing online poker? Prolly been discussed, prolly not resolved, but did anyone catch this?

Does anyone care?

You are a good detective. I taught high school and 75% of the males in my senior class played on-line poker. This is their growth pool.
