Today I couldn't get up for school so I've decided to play poker all morning. I've managed to get really great image on some tables so when I pushed with QQ some guy called me with J6o (stupidy + tilt ftw ). It is SOOOO easy there, it's almost like printing money.
/me waiting for something to fuck up my progress
Anyways, I'm leaving to my GF's house today so no more poker for me until Sunday
Take care guys

BR : 524$ (+80$)
stakes :0.10/0.25$
Since I have to stay at pacific poker to gambol 2000$ (which is pretty rediculous for nl25 player)I rushed into mighty 4 tables and played for about 4 hours.
The beginning was really really cool, I've build stack ~70$ just to lose it with 88 at 55x98 board vs oponnent who had 99. Then I lost once again boat vs boat find myself struggling at ~380$. But I didn't feel like dropping level yet because I had good feeling about my play (but not about sweet mother Luck). After 3 hours later I've managed to grind (with 1x AA and 1x KK in this WHOLE session) to 444$acumulating 31 comp points (150 left !).
God, this sounds too egoistic, but today I really felt good about my play.
About my plans for future. When I will clear bonus at pacific poker I will move all my cash to UB to play with 30% rakeback + that 100% deposit bonus. I hope I will manage to build enough roll for NL50 asap without any stupid downswing

Nietherr: I wanted to cash out, waited three days and this was mailed to me
Dear Petr
Thank you for playing at Pacific Poker
According to our records, you have one or more cashout request(s) which is(are) due for process
The details of the refund(s) are as follows
Cashout ID 9131044 details; please save this number for future reference
- $432.00 were transferred to your bankroll
WHY ?
Jeffery1: Hello and welcome to chat
Nietherr: Hello
Jeffery1: I have located your account. Before we proceed, please confirm the first 2 characters of your password.
Nietherr: **
Jeffery1: thank you Petr
Jeffery1: please note that there was an email that was sent to you on the 2/13/07 from the Operations department
Jeffery1: the email explained why your cashout was returned as stated in the email
Nietherr: I didnt receieved any email from you
Jeffery1: there was two email sent the same day you receive the email regarding the cashout
Jeffery1: both email were sent on the 2/13/07
Nietherr: yes, first was regarding of cashing out and second was some advertistement
Jeffery1: if you like I can resend the email to you
Nietherr: but in that email wasnt anything about any problem of cashing out after those three days which I had to wait patiently
Nietherr: this is the "non advertistement" mail
Nietherr: Dear Petr,
Thank you for contacting us.
Petr, unfortunately, we will not be able to speed up the process of the
Cash Out request. so let me take this opportunity to explain the reasons
why we have a 3-day waiting policy for cash out requests.
Prior to having this policy, we received a very large quantity of recent
cash outs heading back into our system as deposits. Members were
reversing their cash outs, which in turn crippled our method of dealing
with them. Pacific Poker does not charge for deposits or cash outs as we
pay these fees out of our own pocket. This is a benefit that not all
online poker rooms offer.
We realized that we either had to impose these charges on our members,
or find another solution that would not be so burdensome. In addition to
this, our Security department requested a few days extra after the
requests for cash outs, to ensure that their security requirements were
being met. We asked our members their opinion on this matter and the
overwhelming majority preferred to receive their cash outs with a short
delay rather than to pay the fees themselves.
Hence, we decided to implement this 3 day period. This policy presented
three very significant solutions to a troublesome trio of problems:
1) Our members could now easily transfer their winnings to their
bankroll.
2) Our Security department had enough time to prevent any fraudulent
activity.
3) Pacific Poker did not start charging fees for transactions.
Nietherr: but nothing about returning my cashout back to my bankroll
Jeffery1: ok the email is as follows
Jeffery1: Dear Petr,
This is Joseph B. from the Operations Department at Cassava (Gibraltar) Ltd.
Cassava (Gibraltar) Ltd operates "Pacific Poker".
I am contacting you in regards to your Pacific Poker account with username "Nietherr".
We are pleased to see you that have made a recent cashout request from your account,
and we hope to be able to process this for you without delay. However this cashout
request does include an amount of the bonus we have previously issued to you. Each
bonus we issue has an allocated amount to wager attached, and unfortunately you
have yet to complete the wagering necessary to cashout this bonus amount.
Jeffery1: As we would like you to have your cashout as soon as possible, can we please ask you
to cancel this cashout and continue to play the bonus according to our bonus policy
wagering requirement. Since the bonus/es in question was/were issued, you have wagered
correctly $264. Therefore, in order to cashout the bonus you still need to wager (bet)
a further $1856. Alternatively we will return the cashout to the bankroll after the
regular awaiting cashout period
You can check the amount of wagering you have completed by the amount of Bonus
Points that you have received. For every $10 you wager, you receive 1 point.
When you receive a bonus please check the number of total points you currently
have, and how much wagering is required. Please note that any cash out that
includes the bonus amount will be subject to the wagering criteria.
Should you require further clarification regarding our Bonus Policy, please
visit our website http://www.pacificpoker.com and go to the "Players Club" section, where there
is a link to the Bonus Policy.
If you have any questions or require any other assistance, please contact us.

Joseph B.

Ok because I can't report about my poker progress (thx to pacific poker) I thought that I won't be adding any entries.
I edited whole text out, I just want to forget about this incident
Now I get justice in my hands and very angry I've clicked on smiling face with 24/7 support text on it.
Shaundell1 has joined.
Nietherr: Hello this is email I've sent to your support. But they seems to ignore this question so I have to ask you...."today I wanted to cash out some of my money from your poker room because of very need of those funds as soon as possible but your software told me that it will be processed after 3 days. I really can't wait for 3 days to process this cash out. Can you please "speed up" cashing out of my money? I wouldn't have mailed about this if I wouldn't really need those money (now this is kinda lie but you know u have to sound really passionate :D "
Shaundell1: Welcome to Chat!
Nietherr: hello !
Shaundell1: I have located your account. Before we proceed, please confirm the first 2 characters of your password.
Nietherr: **
Shaundell1: Thank you Petr.
Shaundell1: Unfortunately, this is our policy and there are no exceptions.
Nietherr: Do you really think that its normal and fair not to let people cash out whenever they want whatever they want to? I really don't want to do any problems I just want money that pacific poker is holding not wanting to release them at any costs?
Nietherr: I'm just asking your common sense..
Shaundell1: This is our cash out policy. You can cash out at any time you wish however, the three day processing period is where we cross reference your information ensuring that we are sending the funds to the correct individual.
Nietherr: So it takes 3 days to pacific poker whereas partypoker and pokerstars withdraw is dont at about one hour? I must say, you have really fast people working out there. Not to speak arrogantly and agressive but this seems like the only think why you keep those 3 days is because you want people to lost patience and reverse withdraw it back to your pokerroom.
Nietherr: dont= done
Shaundell1: That is not so. We do have our policies that were put in place to secure you our members.
Nietherr: Thank you very much for this security, anyways this is the reason why when I'd like to go to pacific poker to play and make some rake for you, I won't.... anyway....sorry, I don't want to bash you, I understand that you have your job and it's out of your hands. I don't want to be jerk, just please understand my point of view
Nietherr: Thank you very much for your time, sorry for my bad english and have a nice day
Never ever go there again. Really great security...
Now this starts to be fucking sick. When I wanted to cash out from pacific poker (Due to 4max table limit)it told me my cash out will be processed after 3 days so I could possibly reverse my withdrawal
.
.
.
.
.
What the FUCK?
Since when they don't let me do whatever I want to do with my cash? Since when they have right to stop my cashouting? When I will ever again try some new pokerroom, I will be sure to first check out their cashouting process.
I've mailed them about it but after ~8 hours they dont seems to be responding at all.
I'm fucking mad angry!
On the other hand
this is great song from Johnny Cash (last one), I'm already trying to master it on my guitar since it's simple to learn. Be sure to check it out, it's really GREAT ! so emmotional, he very much knew at this time about his own mortality realizing what is quickly aproaching. Be sure to check it out.
First of all, I couldn't play poker for about 3 days just because PokerWize (see previous entry). When I finally got my money back I was so horny about poker so I've jumped to nearest bonus room (Pacific Poker via pokersavvy) and played might 4 tables (their stupid limit, I mailed them , hope they can extend it )
Anyways, with my friend owing me 40$,that bonus on Pacific
and my mighty grinding of nl10 (I think I finally crush nl10 (Woaghhh Im sooo good ))I've managed to get again to point where I can start nl25. Hope I won't run into bad session like before. See that recovering from nl25 at nl10 is far worse than nl50 to nl25 (10:25 < 25:50) so I REALLY want normal sessions

BR : 430$ (+130$)
stakes : 0.5/0.10
I can't play poker for 26 hours now because of PokerWize room withdrawal mechanics (they dont withdraw 24hours in case you would change your mind so u can reverse-withdraw . Seriously WTF) , if you want to know my feelings about this "GREAT" pokerroom , here is my mail to them
Hello
Today at 15:30 I've installed pokerwize to try it and clear some bonuses there, at 15:40 I was withdrawing my cash, these are the reasons
1) Instalation
400 mb ? Other pokerrooms has only 1/20 of yours at most ! Who really cares about singleplayer (which I think makes it so large)
2) Graphic and visualizations
I have AMD 2700+ procesor but I wasnt able to play "clearly" even 2 (!!!!) tables . And if it interfere into second monitor (i have dual monitors) it was reallllllly annoying
Table visualization, you must be really kidding me I couldnt see anything because of those "flashy everywhere" stuff.
Everyone prefer to stay it clear not what I could see there, custom players only lagged whole game, dealing was slow (as everything else).
When I wanted to adjust size of table, suddenly all those windows with player names came to left side so it made really confusing. It's hard to see who has hand and who folded.
Camera views... seriously what the hell is this supose to mean?
Tooltips on dealer which said :click on dealer to rebuy... I clicked and nothing hapenned.
3) Waiting lists
Now this was so great ! I wanted to wait for some nl cash game but it point me to some 7stud free games etc.
and many many more things because of them I've decided to leave promptly
Long story short : Your pokerroom shouldnt be named PokerWize bud PokerConfusion because this is state in which your room is
Best regards and have a nice day
Petr "Niether" Blaha
I'd never ever go there again, I've never seen worse pokerroom, feel free to correct me but this is really serious shit...
After my morning post where I lose 100$ I've said that I'll move down to nl10, but the greedy me talked me into playing some more nl25. I should have maybe not played at all or really play and nl10 because I've lost another 2 buyins going back to 300$ (come on... ! me SB having QJ and BB AJ table JAQxJ... ) Everyone has bad luck and I dont intend to whine about it. It was my mistake not to follow BR managment and I shall take the punisment and hopefully strike back
Let this be my lesson with my HORRIBLE stupid BR managment. Now I'll probably move to nl25 at 500$ it will be loong grind but I hope it wont take too long. If there wont be those 24 hours I could be still 450$ but those "if"...you know them.
Wish me fun on those grinding stupid long boring session at nl10 (anyone hates too when he has to drop stakes so he gets not so much money? I hate it, I promise myself not to drop stakes again)
5th February 07 (Evening)
BR : 300$ (-50$)
stakes :0.10/0.25$ I HAVE TO MOVE TO NL10 ! I
and many more like sb vs bb fight when i had 46 flop was 462 and dickhead had 35
I've experienced even runner runner straight, flush and all those crap.
I'm moving back to NL10 to let of the steam and bad luck and hopefully get back in better shape and when I'll reach 450$ I'll try again, which will take about week I guess, not sure if this morning was good one but I'll manage it
