What is the best poker site for someone with a US Visa Debit card?

May 29, 2009 : Posted by admin

I want to play poker online for real money but I don't know what site or room to use. I have a US visa debit card and I want the deposit and cash out method to be simple and easy, I want to be able to put cash into my poker account and put cash back into my debit account easily.

What do you recommend?

Hi,

You might find it difficult to deposit with your debit card. Many banks have filters that decline poker site transactions. And you won't be able to take deposit back to your debit card. I'm not saying your card will not work, but there's a good chance it won't. And if it does, you'll have to take a payout by paper check by mail. This is a good option as most good sites are pretty quick about getting checks out.

But good news, it's not that hard to work-around. Most sites offer instant eCheck deposits, and instant eCheck withdrawals. This is just like using a debit card only you enter different information. You can always try finding a Visa All Access brand gift card. Their site has a directory at http://allaccessgift.com

You'll also find independent reviews of reliable sites, additional deposit/withdrawal tips, and other helpful online poker articles at http://poker-lobby.com (a site designed by a US online poker players to help fellow US online poker players. Hope this helps!

May 18, 2009 : Posted by admin

We have a group of people that want to play PRIVATE poker tournament (no-limit texas hold-em) on the internet without money involved. We have prices and other stuff but that would go from hand to hand because we all know each other.

Is there FREE program (or a poker site) that can do the tournament without money involved. If poker site, then it has to be possible to register without having a credit card.

I am an affiliate for full tilt poker. I can set up a private tournament for you and your friends. If you want just e-mail me at civfan@live.com and I will see what I can do. You don't need to make any deposits or give out any credit card information. All I ask in return is those who do not already have a poker account sign up through me so I might receive credit.

Here is the information I will need.

Date
Time (please use ET or specify which time zone your using)
Buy-in
Game type
Limit/NL/PL
Regular/Turbo

Please give me as many details as possible so I can make it to your liking, and give me about a week to get it all set up and send you your password.

Does God cause a poker player to run good or bad?

May 08, 2009 : Posted by admin

I'm asking this specifically of you poker players who believe in God. Would God suspend the laws of mathematics, including probability and variance, to cause a poker player to get more than his mathematical share of good or bad cards? What are your thoughts about this?

A famous mathematician used to ask half of his students to flip a coin 200 times and ask them to write a long list of heads or tails on a piece of paper. The other half of the class would simply fake the data. With an almost perfect acuraccy he could tell the real data from the fake data.
———
The problem is that most people think that streaks are unnatural. In reality 200 coin tosses have a probability of over 96.531% of having a streak of length 6, a 79.928% probability of a streak of length 7, and a 54.187% of having a streak of length 8. People who are faking data tend to stop streaks at length of 4 or 5, whereas as real data has longer streaks. The professor simply divides the papers into two piles: those with streaks of 6 or more, and those with less. With a high degree of certainty he will have seperated the fake data from the real data.
===========
Most gamblers fail to realize that playing a game without "streaks" (good or bad) is actually extremely unlikely. It is a major psychological tendancy of human beings that has been studied by neurologists and psychologists. People often get a streak and they either praise or berate God (or their luck).

BTW: to calculate those percentages you really need to understand Markov Transition matrices. It's not a simple calculation.
