HaHa!

My wife looks at things that way! We're constantly losing money on the Electric bill, water bill, auto insurance, etc.
(Funny, she never complains about the phone & satellite TV bill, just the DSL portion of it.)
When I was working hourly, I would occasionally take a weekend off work. She would then complain the "we" lost $XX.XX because I "could have" made tht much by working!

Now that I'm salaried, whenever I work the rare Saturday, she complains that "we" lost $XX.XX because I don't get paid for it!

Does she work?

Your wife kind of sounds like pain in the balls.

Extremely. Tell her that she loses $XXX,XXX.XX every year because she didn't go to medical school. What a failure.

Online poker isn't illegal for individuals. Someone who supposedly made thousands per month would probably know that. What is illegal is for banks and other financial institutions to make transactions with offshore poker sites.

Yes, they only have limit though. The other 2 I metioned have limit & NL.

Want to see my tax returns? Spend a little time and do some research in finding the means to legally fund your poker accounts safely and then cash out hassle free. Used Neteller for years with no issue. Now, read the poker forums and see the nightmares people have trying to cash out.

Never worked more than 3 days at any one job! Nor had more than 1 job every 2 years.

Yeah, shes a fat, lazy slob. (And before you ladies start slamming me, yes, I do tell her that. She simply does not care!)

Why bother with Neteller or anything like that? Get checks sent to you by Pokerstars/Fulltilt. How do you think all of the pros in the United States play online?

Sounds like you are the one that needs to do a little research.

Why? B/c I like being able to transfer money quickly and not have to wait weeks for a check. Also, I wouldn't touch Fulltilt with a ten-foot pole. They have some of the worse customer service around. Looks like eChecks is an option now with Pokerstars.

Wow, and you put up with that? It sounds like a marriage made in heaven, for her anyway :).

So you say that you were making thousands of dollars a month and cant wait 4 days for a check? You are either lying or very stupid.
However, I agree with you about full tilt.

Thanks for the compliments. 4 days? What site please? Gotta love being insulted by someone named 'buck' over the internet. I can only assume you're not very good. And since you're interested, I'm a short drive to Foxwoods, so I haven't gone back to playing online.

I haven't been online since last Sept. I believe the last name I used was Mojobaggins. But I used to change the name every six months to make it harder on folks using tracking software.

I do plan to deposit some money back into PS, I'll pm you my username when I do.

If you're good it should be nothing.

My first game I lost $100 in no time. I was not only not focused but nervous and totally off tempo.

I took a walk around and ate some food and came back to make $70 of it back.

Poker online is totally different, but then again I havent even touched poker for nearly 2 years now and so my level of play is definitely a lot different.

There are too many people at casinos who play casually and are easy money.

4 Business days is the longest it has taken for me to get checks from Pokerstars.
If you were such a "good player" as you claim, why did you go busto? If you are such a "good player" why not just keep a bankroll in there and cash out with checks every couple of weeks?
You should come back to pokerstars, I like players like you.

For such a stickler for the rules, why violate the TOS for pokerstars? Why would you care if folks used tracking software?
Why would someone who is such a good player, worry about someone tracking them down?
The only people that should care about people tracking them down is the fish...... ;)
