[QUOTE=Only Mostly Dead] And I have a feeling I’m going to be bit in the butt to the tune of about $15 that was in my account. My deposit method, due to MD state law, has been sending a check to one of you guys, and then getting that deposit transferred from your account to mine. Not really sure if I’ll be able to withdraw from my account. [/QUOTE] That was shitty of them to not give any warning, you would have had time to transfer your stack to one of us and we could refund your bucks. You might see if you can get on and get tech support to respond. ---

[QUOTE=Gangster Octopus] Looks like [http://www.gamingroom.com](http://www.gamingroom.com) has the capability to create $1+0.10 private tables. Only fifty cents more that PT.

I wonder if any of the .net sites offer private tourneys with play money. ---

I was 11th. And I haven’t run across any sites that let you run private tourneys with buy-ins of less than $5. ---

[QUOTE=Kyyrewyyoae] I was 11th. And I haven’t run across any sites that let you run private tourneys with buy-ins of less than $5. [/QUOTE] How about a site that allows player to player transfers as low as $5? A big pain in the ass, but perhaps the winners can transfer the entry fees back to the losers and we can keep this a cheap as possible. It won’t be perfect or pretty though. ---

It looks like this Bombshell thing goes into Hollywood, where I have an account. I guess we need to work fast and find a new site. Titan may also be a possibility. ---

Wow…my internet took a dump last night and I missed out on all of the confusion…until now. I have about $130 left in my account, but no way to transfer it anywhere, unless one of you guys can let me transfer it to you and then move it to another site…or something. ---

I don’t remember ever using Neteller to fund that site, but it has Neteller as my preferred cash out method. ---

Nevermind…I opened a Neteller account and made a withdrawl request from PT to send it to my new NT account…FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEee! ---

I guess I might want to initiate the withdrawl, it shows my funds are still there. They made it sound like they would just do the transfer, but it would probably be a good idea to get the ball rolling myself. ---

I don’t remember what the deal was with PokerStars, but I’ve sent an email to support asking how we’d set up a private tournament there and what the lowest buy-in would be. I’m happy to be part of the scramble to find a new home in time for next week, even though my attendance has been somewhat worse than spotty lately. ---

Hey kids, don’t try to log on to Neteller from a different computer (or maybe it’s the IP address) than the one you usually use. That makes them suspicious and they close the account. I guess that’s good to know. Anyway, it’s fixed now.
