There is a new site launching in a few weeks. It looks like it will be the best poker site out there. They are taking the best part of every other poker site and combining them into one. You can pre-register for free too and get into a huge freeroll.

I am not an affiliate, and I am not a spammer, just think this one looks good. I can't post the link, so email me for more info at laughingwolfboy@yahoo.com

I would love to give the site link, but this is my first post, and in the user agreement, it says I am not supposed to post that. Moderator, am I wrong?

Unless they're running less than 5% rake, I fail to see what they possibly could do to attract my buisness.

Fishy Games - Party
Great Tourney structure with weak/tight players - PokerSharks

Just tell us what the site is. All of us are capable of finding it on our own if we know the name. Your email request seems a little odd. If you do any affiliate crap you will be banned for life. :P

How about the ability to request a seat change. Notes that actually appear the next time you play the player you took them along with a symbol you assign for the type of player. Categories within buddy lists that you create. A calendar that will remind you of a special tourney you want to play or any other event you need reminding of. Add 1500 that have predeposited money, held in escrow until launch, and you have instant action on day one.

I have been banned from another forum for doing what you are requesting. I will not post the name of this site unless a moderator says it is ok to do so.

Ps. Thanks for the banning threat by the way.

I am the moderator. Just say like Poker Stars if its Poker Stars. You dont have to be giving links to the shit. And by what you just said you probably are trying to do some affiliate crap behind our backs. If you arent then fine but think of it from my point of view.

This guy has 5 posts total and 4 of them deal with the mystery site.

There are a lot of ways to talk about a site. "Hey, does anyone know about Poker Site X? It seems pretty cool."

But this guy talks about it as if specifically trying to avoid spamming. Why would he be so specific if he didn't have something to hide?
I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is...
I'm against it.

Anyway, at this point, the only interesting (and inevitable) thing that can be done with online poker is to reduce the silly 5% rake.

At 2/4 rake accounts for ~2BB/100.

Sure the software leaves much to be desired, but it's good enough and doesn't impact the bottom line more than at most .1BB/100.

A site with:

The interface of Ultimate bet,
The fish of Empire/Party,
The Freerolls of RoyalVegasPoker
And no rake.
