Thanks for that info! I notice on Paradise that the table constellation and profit expectation can change very quickly. I'm also wondering if some people use two computers and identities to trap people in the middle? Regardless, there is opportunity there even if people have developed cheat strategies. My big question is still: How easy and dependable is it to collect on winnings? I just checked out fulltilt and was told "under construction". I will check back...

Just watched John Gale win in the Bahamas. It does take a lot of luck to come out on top. He was good enough to say so... Truthfully I thought they all played badly. But they are there--not me. I'm in a tournament last week and down to the last 2 tables out of a hundred players. This guy goes all in with crap and takes me out. He gets knocked out right after. Sour grapes? I guess so...

I've looked at half a dozen sites and just mainly played with the software. I think I WILL go with Fulltilt, so I am preparing to deposit and move on with it. I'm looking at Neteller and Firepay and wondering if anyone here can give me some guidance. As a Canadian resident I have concerns about money conversion and how it takes place--as well as simplicity of use, service fees, time of transfer, etc. I suppose much of this is available by slogging through fine print, but if there is a Canadian on site here who has learned from direct experience....I would much appreciate some advice.
