As I live in the wilderness of Australia, it is great to find somewhere to talk about gambling. American forums are useless as they all seem to be chasing bonus's and them complain when the dodgy Carribean operators rip them off.

I was rejected by Canbet for being Australian (more to do with Mark Read's ownership I think) but am playing at Ladbrokes. The players there are very good so its hard yakka. No trouble with a Westpac Visa card.

PartyPoker play tables are completely useless. I suspect its all kids lured by WSOP. THe play tournaments are a bit better if you sit out the first few hands and let the morons raise themselves out. It is actually quite fun trying to beat the lucky winner of the first few hands.

I am interested in playing at Partypoker becuse the real games seem to have a lot of beginners. I would like to hear from anyone who has experience with them as I have heard they employ a lot of dubious tactics.
