I liked their software, hit a bad beat jackpot, took out about $10,000 in prop pay and now I hope I get my last $200 or so. Payments got quicker towards the end. I will post here when i get paid.

what is prop play?

[pokeraddict]

Prop play is when you help start games for the house they give you a rake rebate, these jobs are hard to come by and not profitable if you dont know what you're doing or cant play shorthanded.

I took half my money out prepaidatm and half neteller, after last bit of winnings i was owed about $400 and received the prepaidatm half today. Faster then expected. I can only assume the neteller half will be soon. Good news since I had concerns.

[pokeraddict]

Still have not gotten the rest of my money, never got my rake rebates I was owed earlier. Found something out. if one goes to englishharbourpoker.com and downloads poker program it is a skin or bigbet is a skin of english harbour in my opinion this makes them married. Support has not ignored me, the person responsible will be back in the office this week so we will see what happens. The fact I got alot of what they owe in a timely manner surprised me given the circumstances.

[pokeraddict]

Well I'm short $40 but got an email saying we were square and no response to my emails. Oh well I cashed out more out of this poker room then any other, cant be upset about $40.

Just go find some fish like me to get the other $40!

BTW, I signed up for fun at pokerworld.com and it's very strange playing at a site with so FEW people!

I prefer small rooms, easier to learn the other players habits. I always check out the new place for the bonus, pokerworld i will keep a little after its worked off cause the games are so easy.
