Cardrunners Video Series + Bot Credit from Stars

The first episode of my video series for Cardrunners entitled "Full Ring: Theory and Practice" was released today. The video itself is here, though you'll have to be a subscriber to watch the whole thing! Initial reviews appear to be positive which is reassuring as I've never produced a video before.

Cardrunners also posted a short interview with me, which you can find here. If you read this blog frequently, it won't contain much you don't already know however!

A few moments ago I received an email from Pokerstars informing me of an account credit because I had been involved in hands with players who had been breaking the terms of service and had their accounts frozen/funds seized. I've had this happen once before for a fairly trivial amount and had no idea who the players were. This time, I'm fairly certain I know exactly who the offenders were - the bot ring that was the subject of this post. Anyway, my credit was in the amount of $348.79. I'm all for free money and happy to see anything recouped. Pokerstars also mentioned in the email that: "In addition, in this particular case, PokerStars decided to make a substantial contribution to the compensation pool", which should significantly remedy the PR hit they took over the issue.

Outside of poker, I picked up Ys 7 today for the PSP, which is an action RPG that has been very well reviewed. I'm right around two hours in, and it's been solid so far. Quality visuals and music along with a very responsive and enjoyable combat system which is crucial to any action RPG.

Don't worry Vini, there's still enough content out there glorifying the LAG that everything is going to be ok!

Any chance of a side upload for those of us who aren't Cardrunners' members but are Ronfar fans?

Afraid not, the series is a CR product and will be available exclusively there.
