Poker.com changes it name to PDC Poker

IMPORTANT USA LEGISLATION! POKER.COM REMAINS OPEN FOR BUSINESS!
You all would have heard about the new legislation passed by the US Congress late last Friday that attempts to prevent poker players from transferring funds to online gaming sites.

Some online poker / casino sites (predominantly public companies) have announced plans to remove the US market segment from their sites over the next few days. However, the passing of this act through Congress will have no immediate affect on operations at Poker.com. We are not currently planning to close the accounts of US players, and all funds within player accounts are perfectly safe and will always be readily accessible. We will continually monitor the legislative changes and obtain detailed legal advice on this situation, but for now it is business as usual.

Before you start playing at your regular poker site or if you want to start at an `easy to play' poker site go and have a look at www.poker.com

One of the biggest attractions of poker is that you play with other real people matching their skills and wits against each other.

A real buzz to those of you who prefer that, to playing the odds against the house, as in many other casino games.

You will find a very new and graphic software www.poker.com have developed it themselves using their industry experience and listening and understanding what the players want.
www.poker.com have made it easy to download and play………… they make full use of Macromedia's Flash download for great, realistic sound and graphics.

In developing the software themselves they have not only addressed players' desires but created virtual poker rooms and tables with graphic displays of reality……….you can almost smell the beige and the perfumed ladies……..so, dress up in your favourite holey pants, grab a cigar and a coldie and sit your wife/hubby (or whoever) on your knee and get playing.

For new poker players there is the choice of playing for `fun' if you just like the thrill of the game and where no real money is used.

If you wish to get serious and play to win real CASH…… Easy to organise banking: with instant payouts. Netteller, one of the internet's most respected banking facilities, is at your immediate service with an easy user guide, explaining how, and answering questions.

Poker.com have a thorough customer service for support, questions and suggestions. Also for reporting any system `bugs' that may come to your attention……….all poker.com's services are available 24/7………. Can't sleep…go and play while.

www.poker.com was voted the best 2004 poker site at http://www.onlinegambling.com/online-gambling-awards.htm in the company of some of the most revered and respected online casino sites.

Freeroll tournaments will be starting soon on www.poker.com . You will be able to enter tournaments at your leisure.

Perhaps you have shared in the excitement watching TV poker tournaments…….. well, do it yourself……….the adrenelin will really get moving then.

pipo19

wow.. simply the best review ihave ever read for any poker sitre and this happened to be my favorite site hehe, congratz very well!

lovep poker.com

stepgen

Poker.com is one of my favorite sites and admire there courage to continue and let the US players play at there site. SO many have chickhed out and feel we should all support and play at poker.com and other such sites.

AnteSocial

If anybody is making their 1st deposit, don't forget the new depositors $500 freeroll every night for your 1st 7 days, there was sometimes less than 200 in them when I was a new depositor about a month ago. I only played 3, finished 2nd once for $100 or so.
Also, if you play alot of cash games, it is pretty easy to get enough hands to play in the $2000, and $1000 freeroll each weekend and a $50,000 freeroll once a month.

devious1 · poker.com

i love poker.com it is my best site and the only site that i will play on there freerolls are good and it is a very popular site so i will stick to poker.com because it is a well established site

I really enjoy poker.com. The graphics have improved and their software upgrades are a huge bonus. I like the ability to change my seat, change the table size and the % on all-ins.

The cashout is instant and I think they have some of the best customer serives in the business.

Piotrek6660

My favorite site:
-many freerolls for points
-good software
-good support
-week coupon for freerolls 500 $ new members (one on day); 150 players chance for easy money

One defect- only 50 -100 $ clasic freerolls for 1000 players (8 on day)

Doylestown · Poker.com

Good site, i have been playing their since banned from all other non-us sites. Good amount of freerolls, and enough poker tables to play on with no wait.

I had an email from poker.com inviting me to help Beta test the next version of their software, version 4.0.

I downloaded it and so far I have been the only player there.

The problem is that it replaced the old version and now I cannot play the normal games on the site.

The original mail said:

" Your Beta test account is already set up and has been credited with $1,000 Real money and $1,000 Play money so you can play any of our new games, "

It shows $1000 in my account instead of my old balance but they do not say if the Real money can ever be withdrawn and when I emailed them they only sent a standard reply without answering my question.

They say it will be going live early next year but I may uninstall it and re download the old version.

stepgen

It would be nice if you could with draw that $1000 amarillo

. Even still being able to play in a few high stakes games basically for free would br a great experience

AnteSocial

$1000 is awesome, hopefully the site will grow alot so there will be alot of people to play with setting you up for a big withdrawl later on.

pepe

poker.com is very nice but i hope in the future they will add some more depositing and withdrawal metods especially moneybookers

anyway the play is great there nice atmosphere also

see you at the tables

rejbon · my favorite site

yes poker.com is definitively my favorite site because there is several freeroll for the beginners who like to play the poker and much of other positive points that the members Ci-tops mention

Pi N Chips

Sounds like a great site to play on. I wonder if I can still beta test the newer version if I download the old one? Gl all and Happy New year!!

I do not understand what is going on at poker.com!!

It appears that they have merged with another site called CarbonPoker, hope it will not make any difference to the games there.

With more new brands on the way and the best online poker software available, our target is to grow the network to 50,000 players by 2008.

Saw this on another site:

'Poker.com sells its player base to Carbon Poker. Poker.com will go back to being an informational site and all players will be transferred to Carbon Poker in due time. This is very odd but I'm sure it has something to do with the recent US law.'

Also on the poker.com forum some affiliates are complaining they have not been told above this but poker.com say they have emailed all affiliates.

hockeyman10

Poker.com is the only site play on right now. It has great graphics and tech. support. I do plan downloading Junglepoker in the near future.

Hi Guys
I must just say please do not be afended any of our US members,or US ppl

Well i have just played in 2poker.com torneys, OK they were only $5 buy ins so lets stay real about it but at first i was doing well then i was pushed out on wat i feel to be bad beat and bingo calls, ie 9 10 2 on the flop, iam holding 9 10, so i up it 4 times the blind (blind 50 ) and i get a call. good. and a king comes on the turn so i go allin with1950 and i get called by 1200 DONT FORGET he just called my 200 rase, he turns up a K2 , iam like wat the f----k, is he doing calling 200 rase with only pairing a 2 and could crash out he must put me on at least a high pair.

Wat do u think?

so is it that US players like to take chances, and play more aggressive than euro players?
id love to hear wat u guys think?

The other torny was out in 30th i pushed in on a rase from another US player
i pushed in 600, i was in the blind of 100 he rased i whent in and got
called by 66 i was holding AQ his 66 held up? go figure.

So guys let me know
is it cos it was only $5 buy ins? ( chances can be taken)
is it cos there aggressive?
or just luky?

My self i think that US players do play more aggressive then
euro players, and small entry tornys atract the gambler.

soi whent and played on Bugsy for a while as there are a lot of US ppl on there and there are torneys that start with 10,000. 5,000. 3,000 chips
and i played as
not to be i pushed around
play and i faired better i came 4th in my last torny i like the site.

JR

No offense taken from a US player. I agree with you on the 1st call with only the pair of 2's but I have seen many hands won with no pairs. You don't mention the blinds or chip stacks so it’s kind of hard to tell how bad of a call the person made. As for the 2nd game I think you were the aggressive player by pushing all-in with AQ after a pre-raise. I think you were a slight underdog pre-flop. I have not seen any difference in US and European players. The only really aggressive play I've seen in from Romanian players. For some reason they seem to go in on almost anything and at any time in a tourney.

harry_lime

guys, i think these last 2 posts (and it's a good subject) are really a "poker lounge" thing so i have copy / pasted your 2 posts into a new subject thread so we can continue the discussion there :

Where do the most aggressive players come from ?

please try to keep on thread if possible. thx a lot. H.

I don't know what is going to happen to poker.com but the domain name is being sold this week by auction:

http://domainnamewire.com/2007/04...ing-auction-could-be-biggest-yet/

Perhaps we will all have to move to carbon
