What would you do bubble question.

I played in a 124 person $9.90 buy in tournament on stars last night that paid the top 18 spots. 18th was $13.xx. I needed 9th or better to get to $18.xx. First place was over $300.

So here is my situation and you tell me what you would do:

I am in 16th of 19 players remaining with about $5500 in chips. The blinds are $200/$400/$50. All tables are playing hand for hand.

I am in the SB (or LB as OhCaptain calls it <--did I miss a change in terms?).
The button has $12,000
The BB has $7500

The button has been raising quite a bit and folding to shoves. He raises to $950 (his standard raise).

I have AQoff.

What would you do?

Rakeback

So, I'm still debating back and forth about Rakeback. I don't get it at fulltiltpoker but I prefer playing there over pokerstars. I actually started playing online poker on pokerstars back in 2004, but eventually moved over to fulltiltpoker because of the poker bloggers (see my list to the right) and their regular tournaments. So now when I play on pokerstars, the sounds of the chips, and timers, and everything else take me back to my beginning days playing online. I'm thinking I may start playing exclusively at pokerstars.

And of course, there is the rakeback issue. I don't get it at fulltiltpoker. I've asked for it several times, and have been denied. I even opened another account name to get it, but fulltiltpoker support found out and shut down my new account. Luckily they gave me back the $1500 I had in funds with them. With the heavy promoting of VPP's on pokerstars, I've been thinking of moving exclusively to stars. I think the time is now.

I know this player told me he moved to stars. But I haven't seen a post from him in some time so I'm not really sure how it's going.

Anyway, if you have any advice either way, I'd be open to it. I just want to make sure I'm getting the most bang for my buck. I haven't had a big withdrawal from online poker in over a year, but I've also played a lot less over the last year. I'm ready to start playing more again and need to find a place worthy of doing it.

Let me know if you have any opinions for me. Thanks,

Jamyhawk

Best games in the Casino

Looking for the best Online Casino in Canada? I play them all. I like craps, I like blackjack, and I like roulette. But the casino game I love the best is video poker. I have rarely left a casino without a profit when I am playing video poker. Actually, in video poker you can choose several options, and I tend to love the deuces wild.

The best way to play is online. The best place to find a casino is in Canada.
