Well, I´m back to the Poker World...or at least what seems to be left of it... Been travelling back and forth lately, and did´nt get a chance to play a lot of Poker or anything related to it. Then I get back from Belgium yesterday, started up FT.... "Trying to Connect..."....
....mmmmm....???....
lol
It wasn´t very "lol" when I started reading though.
So I guess I came back to an "Online Mess"! Or maybe I should call it: "The result of infinite greed, the Rich aren´t rich enough, the little guy will fund the Jets and the Yachts and the Luxury domains in far-away places, etc. etc."
Luckily I was thoughtful enough to get most of my winning out of FT via other ways than Moneybookers, and only lost about $200 (+ steps, $Tournament, Bonuses, Rush ticket, affiliate Bonuses, etc.)
Guess I´ll have to start up PS for real this time. Or maybe we´ll go to some non-US rooms like PFR. Been wanting to try that one for a while. (RakeBack would be best, I guess?)
Tried to catch up on some of the posts, but whew!, that´s a tall order. And to one of the posts, forget which one, yes I did kind of get fed up with the "endless" freeroll posts, and backed off for a while. But i guess the FT freeroll thing just exploded into nothing, so there you go.
Since my whole Full Tilt project for July just got blasted out of the water, I´ll have to decide what I want to do/play next. Think I will go to the beach today and think about that one...
If I missed anything major other than FT, let me know, ok? Any regulars gone to "High-Roller" status, for example?
Anyway, kinda nice to be back. By the weekend I should be playing and posting again. Curious to see who´s new and what´s up....

Get a William Hill account you can play with a quick cash voucher get your money same day and the points multiplier you get more than all you rake back. In fact some there play points only and make over 2k a month 1k buy in 11k payout and once the points get high its like buying in for 1 dollar and pay out can be over 20 dollars 10 seats but only winner is paid. And will hill have assured me that what happened to full tilt can't happen to them or ipoker but they would would'nt they lol

hi island and welcome back. I guess your returning happened to be the same time that online poker gets another strike. Not that wasnt something never expected to happen with FT though.

Non-US rooms looks definetely the best online poker room market at the moment. They ought to be winning a lot lately with all this news from a month on. Its almost hard to understand why did the other guy left the CEO sit at that other poker room that i cant now remeber the name...

Welcome back IslandJack! Some of us were wondering where you were and what you have been up to. Yup, the news about Full Tilt sucks, time for you to work your magic elsewhere. Good luck and looking forward to more posts from you.

Thanks guys.
@B1gfoot: Damn that I missed that! Could have made up some for the cash on FT.
@dozn: Another "damn"!... $5/$10 ??? whoah!
$500+ pots or what? Negreanu at the table? he likes Omaha. If you ever decide to play the nosebleed stakes some night, let us know so we can watch and maybe stream it on BRM. Should be some kind of event.
Nice one for the safe win though.
Thanks for the comments everyone. Going to give PKR a shot, and probably start giving PS a serious go. Never played much there, but have a bankroll of about $200.
@tOxIcFiSh Not ready to open up too many new rooms right now, but I´ll keep it in mind. Always did quite well on Party, and we´ll see how PS goes. Huge fields though, even bigger than FT.
PKR I´m trying for fun...and maybe more once I give it a go, we´ll see.
