I haven't played poker in two weeks, when Poker Share closed down all US accounts.

Wow. I guess I'm not addicted. Definitely a good sign. Of course.. this is also because Neteller doesn't like my Wachovia bank... so yeah. But its like not having money to buy cigarettes.... without the headaches and the tension and the stress.

Ok.. so I've never given up smoking. But I'm not begging for cash online like this guy! http://www.unitedpokerforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=29073&hl=paypalLink

PokerShare isn't sharing.

Dear Daniel Page,
We would like to thank you for being a member of PokerShare. We are writing to inform you that due to a policy change as of November 1, 2005 North American residents are no longer able to play in the PokerShare cardroom.
We have closed your account, DannyPage. If you had a cash balance in your account we have initiated a withdrawal for you to refund these monies in full. Along with your cash balance we have converted any Tournament Entry Chips (TECs) and included them in the withdrawal of funds.
If you are owed money, you will be receiving a check in full for your entire account balance to your address on file. Balances in excess of $50 have been sent by FedEx. Smaller balances have been sent by regular mail.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Sincerely,
Robert


Damn. Someone misdealt UB a bad hand....

I guess I'm taking a forced break from poker.. seeing as how my $250 bankroll is somewhere between Limbo and High Point. Over/under line is closer to Limbo. Unless the Fedex man can be my hero sometime soon. So, what does an 18 year-old addicted-to-poker college student do? Well, I give you the Top 10 things that I could do (and so could you, if you are in the same boat. Don't tip it, by the way, these are my new shoes.)

10. Analyze my Poker Tracker Omaha stats. (Bought that 2 days ago too.. crap.)
9. Reclassify players based on my (small, but reasonable) 3000 hand sample. The default rules suck.
8. Call home.
7. Ask for money.
6. Don't mention being locked out of the account.. they may think you are asking for Poker money..
5. Do homework (should be doing that right now..)
4. Read the Communist Manifesto Read PinkMonkey.com about the Communist Manifesto.
3. Get some miles in for the upcoming Track season.
2. Get some sleep.
And totally destroying any possibility of doing 2-10....
1. Play World of Warcraft!

My Level 19 Night Elf Rogue doesn't have too much respect.. except at Battlegrounds! DPS suckers!
