I disagree with you Elvis...yes the software is slow...but slower yet if your connection speed isn't there or your computer is slow...I do not recommend using MSN at the same time or using the full screen interface. There are aware of the software speed and are trying to correct it...when you have good graphics, it takes away from speed.

The features are good and money can be won there....I turned 75 cents that I made in a freeroll there into $970 in 4 days...so you can make money there.

you have some decent players there and you have some horrible players there...but you can beat them.

Fink won over $4,000.00 against the best of them...if he gets a qualifier seat...he will probably get a WSOP seat!

As far as the cash out...you just put in your request they have to make sure that it is up and up and you usually get your money the next day if you are transfering it to an account like neteller.

When I cashed out the first time, it took several days, because for one I never deposited there...it all came from freerolls...also a weekend request can take untill Monday.

Shoot, what do the three numbers represent? The last one is total bankroll, but the first one i dont know and the second one looks like $$$ won in the event?

1st is Debit...2nd Winnings....3rd Balance

If you don't win any money then the debit shows your entrence fee...otherwise it is subtracted from your winnings.

Elvis,

You are saying that after one game you are done with the site? I know I loved pokerstars interface and didn't want to switch but sites grow on you. I am now used to shootout and poker.com. Stars feels weird to me now. I havent played there in forever.

Secondly, I dont know what kind of a bankroll you have, but you are trying to withdraw $22. If I make a $50 deposit at a site, I play either until I build it up or lose it all and then decide whether to play there again. You should not have to depend on that $22. Any site you goto you can EXPECT a hassle withdrawing. I can't have netteller because of my location, and it is HELL. I have not found and easy way to withdraw yet at any site.

Thirdly, it seems very funky to me that you write a review after one outting at a poker site. You are entitled to your opinion but I would hope you give the site a little more of a chance than that. Poker.com is my #1 site to play at right now, and to see a review like this makes me wonder if you know what poker.com is all about...

I believe there are more interavels to balance this out. Each sit N go usually takes about an hour to complete so this is not considered a "Turbo"

Shoot has had problems with speed on this site but I havent. I think a lot depends on your computer, but they are working on making this more friendly to slower setups.

You are too used to poker stars.

The funny thing is, Elvis, since a short time after November 4th I stopped playing there.....Instead, I played at Poker Stars and keeped losing....now figure that out...maybe I'm a masochist. I do intend to start playing there again...I can make some more money, to lose at Poker Stars...lol

It's true, the site is slow. However, I'm really beginning to like it. I was at the .02/.04 table clearing bonuses and took $5 to $25. I know that's not a lot but I got my raked hands down to 37 and 49. Yep, I reloaded after the THF/WSOP buy-in.The neat thing is that both of my bonuses are clearing at the same time. Not sure if this happens at other sites, but I like it.

I still love the full screen mode, even though it may run slower. I know it's not my computer because I have an AMD 64 2.1 ghz with 1 gig or ram. I'm on dsl and I do know that occasionally it gets squirrely but they are upgrading and I believe that's the current problem. They're sending out the new modem this week. I did notice that by turning off a lot of the bells and whistles, the performance improved.

I've also been playing at Full Contact poker. It's a kinda cool site too.
