Just been playing an STT on William Hill and it kept freezing so I couldn't play, the worst moment was when I saw I'd been dealt JJ and it folded it because I couldn't press any of the buttons. I ended up going all in on 77 just so I could lose because it is so frustrating seeing your good hands being folded!! OK Rant over...

Happened to me frequently when I used to play Will Hill. As you say, it rubs your nose in it by then showing all your missed hands at high speed - aces and all! Move to Pokerstars!!

I was thinking of moving to PokerStars. Is it a great site?

Yes! Great software and range of games. Some say you get slightly better players there, too. But as they sponsor me, I can confirm that is not necessarily the case!

I might try it, William Hill just looks much more simpler!

I do like the plain Crypto site - BF in particullar but I dont like having the same account for my bookies as my poker site! I'd also like to go to a site with more people (  ) and that would probably mean being on one with our American cousins. Sponsored by them eh - how did they spot you out of interest?

I'm very cheap and I work for The Sun. During EPTs I write Sun online column of my progress (or more often lack of).

it's been a great experience so far and met some fantastic people. Still not rich though.

Do they pay for you to travel to all the events and enter them? I guess work pays for the travel and PS pays the entry fee? At least you are in with a shout - must be great going to the events though, I'd like to enter one myself one day but I think I'll need a sponsorship to do so (or win an online tourney)  Need an assistant  ?

yes Stars pays all travel, accom and buy-ins for EPT. They run LOADS of qualifiers for all EPT events, so well worth your while having a go. There's often 50-odd pokerstars online qualifiers at the EPTs. Met one bloke in Austria who walked off with about eight grand after qualifying online - very happy in the bar afterwards!
