^ Is Stars still holding on to FTP's software without any intention of using it? Such a waste imo.
yeah, it's a travesty. they killed the best poker software in the world.
Anyway has anybody tried Phil Galfonds poker site?
also bans USA players.

No huds allowed. Should better for the casual players.
yup, it certainly worked in bodog/bovada's case. thinner player liquidity, but you get rid of a lot of those nitty rakeback grinders.
in fact that reminds me, i've been meaning to fire up bovada's rebranded USA site (ignition) to see how soft the games are. they support bitcoin deposits/withdrawals and will double your deposit bonus if you use bitcoin.
I did actually download it out of frustration the other day. So far it appears to be a much more intuitive program. Still doesn't break down my tournaments based on buy-in and what not. I haven't played around with it much yet, but I think it will be the one I pay to use.
glad to hear it. i used HM1 back in my semi-pro days and was always happy with it. i'll probably grab HM3 myself. ACR's manual hand history is absolutely killing me.
i'll take a look at those hands when i'm back home. currently on a tiny netbook.
