Okay I won a few tournaments two years ago. They called me and wanted me back. Gave me twenty dollars to play again.
I'm doing okay but have a few questions for our poker players.
1) do you think they have "shills" in the tournaments?
2) do you think they deal fairly?
3) Have you played in a tournament?
I do good on the tables but am having trouble staying focused in long tournaments. I have lots of questions for you Dive and all other players.

I rarely play poker online. I couldn't say if there are "shills" in tournaments but it seems an unlikely proposition. Unfair dealing would be flagged from the inside pretty quickly. "Pot-ripper" style behaviour is a bigger problem. If you're playing for fun with small stakes it shouldn't be an issue. I have played in tournaments and the secret is to play the tournaments and formats that suit your style. I rarely want to play for more than 2 or 3 hours so I target specific blind structures, sit-and-goes, stt, dym, etc.
You have to ask your questions. Just saying you have them doesn't really work. lol.

I played in a one dollar tournament with $1000.00 guaranteed, unlimited rebuys. and one add on. I could have played for hours but maybe won three hundred or so. Interesting.

The reason I ask about the shills is I was pissed. Three bad beats in a row when going all in. Went all in after the flop and had a 90% chance to win. Lost all three times on the turn and the river. Just made me wonder. I did good on the tables also. In the small tables 10/25 cent blinds there are a lot of not very good players.

Okay. I tried to deposit into my account. My bank denied it twice with one card and once with another. While I was on the phone with them my bank called me on my cell phone. I was trying to get it squared away when the lady at the gaming place said. "DON'T tell them its a gaming site, just tell them its an international transfer" WTF? Is this illegal? Like I'm going to lie to my bank to get ripped off?

Either Uncle Sam hasn't figured out a way to tax it yet, OR (more likely) it would put a dent in the revenue they already take from the Casino industry.

Probably because we lost track of where this thread had went, after not posting on it for awhile, and it was easier to just start a new one. There's also the added bonus of annoying you
