Unfortunately, it didn't help enough and I lost my 1.5 BTC. :-( My biggest ponzi loss. I threw all the BTC I've mined in the last two months into it. Dammit. I really expected that round to go well. Bad timing with Labor Day and all, I guess.
Also, to answer the Poker thing...we already have a couple Poker sites for BTC, and they're mostly ghost towns except for the pre-arranged tournaments. I don't want the BTC poker scene to become more fragmented than it already is.
