as i recall raiders and tekari were the winners while i was there. they played gr8 and tekari took down some big pots with monster hands (flopped boats, str8s etc.). i had a good time except when i was disconnected.
i was down early but i sucked out on a few people to get some back. i ended up winning a few bucks.
mcirish, nice comeback. when i left you were stuck a little, its nice to see you win. are you including the $15 splash from bigbet management in your $25 take? you have to admit it looked strange that in the splash pot you flop the nut flush, i flop a flush draw (8 kicker) and turn a gutter ball str8 draw while two other folks have flush draws. i folded at the turn since i knew that after a few raises i was drawing dead. i think even they felt bad that an rx employee won that pot, that's why they came back and splashed another one for us.
i'll test the software with the norton fix a little this week and ill let you know if i'm playing on tuesday.

Swami I am counting EVERYTHING that went in and out of my account! LOL. I am also counting the $75 dollar bonus. When I quit I had $25 more than I started.
I agree Frank, this is a very tough line up with lots of good players IMO. I was surprised how good everyone is.

Minor complaint of BigBetPoker...
Their money transfer system. I sent 500 via Neteller to them last night to play in the TheRx weekly game. Asked for a 600 w/d after the game via Neteller.
Here is their email:

SORRY GUYS!!!
Like I told y'all last week, I had to work. Unfortunately, dum-dum, (a.k.a. my boss) kept me there LATER so I couldn't make it home in time to catch the fish... Uh, I mean play poker with y'all!!!
It's almost like he kept me there on purpose... That crap is gonna stop!!! Put me down for next week, late in the evening, AWAY from smokers please!!! LMAO!!!
P. Babe
mcirish..tekari's norton fix did not work. i have to disable my auto protect. i'm going to drop out of the game.
it's more of a principle issue for me. i feel that i should not have to alter my system to play at a site when the other sites do not require that i do so.
i'm not happy about this at all. frankly, i thought that tuesday's game was perfect. a good blend of tough players and decent players, no fish that i could see (maybe that means that i was the fish), and some trash talking to boot.

CASHOUT INFO-
btw, of paradise, partypoker, wsex, and bigbet...
bigbet has the fastest payouts via neteller second only to wsex. requested a payout last night (somewhere around 9pm i think) and the cash was in my neteller by 1pm. by comparison, party would take approx 24 hours do to it and wsex does it in a couple of hours (at most).
who knows, maybe they were happy to get rid of me and my norton antivirus software...lol
FYI...if you request a cash out >5k, be careful, it could take a few weeks depending on the amount. they do the cashout in weekly 5k increments.

if they have different rules for different players for amounts that are similar..its bs.
i cashed out <300. like i said in my above post..maybe they want to get rid of me.
looks like bb may have some "splaining" to do.

Well guys, I basically am not playing at the stie anymore because of the problems with the collusion and my disconnect problems. I lost AT LEAST $300-500 in the $15/30 game when I was disconnected by the server on about 7 occasssions. 4 of the times I would have lost anyway, but one time I would have won $300 since i know what won the hand and maybe I would have won more had i raised the pot a bit. The other 2 occassions I would have won as well but I dont rember exactly how much was in those pots and whether the other guys would have folded or not. But lets just say that I lost $3.50 at least. Well not a huge amount, but enough to teach me a lesson!
I am not asking anyone to make good the $350, just giving the reason why I cant spend anymore money at the site. It really takes too much time anyway

was your 15/30 game shorthanded? i can't imagine the table was full since bb can't get a full 2/4 game together, forget about a 15/30. anyway, higher limit shorthanded games are played very aggressively and you often do not get to see the cards at the river because one player or another folds. the games are often headsup at the end as well. it's possible that you were colluded against but as you reveal more details about your experience and your play reveals more about your skills this accusation of collusion becomes less believable.
