T-Rod I'm hoping that when you say that ... that the bonus is still active ... but that you're in one of the states that can't access Prima.

I've dowloaded their software ... just waiting to hear back from their support team about the bonus. So frickin excited. This would be the biggest single thing to happen to me in poker since discovering BTP and PLO.

EDIT: I've made a deposit with them in good faith ... if it turns out that they don't offer it anymore ... I'll just withdraw and go elsewhere.

That's odd as under the English legal system this would likely be the crime of 'obtaining a pecuniary advantage by deception' or maybe just plain theft.

Now if say Xast sweated me at a $400 table or two on AIM I would be ethically ok with that, but I would never dream of engaging in active collusion with others at the table on any site.

What I'm most concerned about playing short at higher stakes to increase the variance is that it seems logical to do it, 4 tabling the $400's half-stacked is only a small portion of my roll (<10% of current) and and yet I stil don't feel comfortable taking a shot...

Maybe I haven't enougn 'gamble' in me to make a decent player at $400 and above..
