Nice while it lasted

By now everyone has heard about the PokerShare meltdown. Of course it’s disappointing, but mostly it’s inconvenient. I was just settling into the enjoyable $5-10 games on there, I was halfway through earning my deposit bonus, collecting some nice rakeback for the first time in my life…and then just like that, it was all over.

I’ve been reading posts from people who say things like, “I don’t believe this, I put my whole bankroll in that site and they just close it down without any warning!”

Well if I wasn’t cynical enough on my own, I live with someone who has taught me better than to leave all my eggs in one unregulated basket of questionable legality. So now it’s just a matter of waiting to see if they actually send me the balance from my account.

Far more important than all of this, my thoughts are with our friend Matt Maroon tonight, who’s going through a difficult time.
