PokerStars Reload Bonus - My credit card worked!!!

[yeltzen]

I deposited for the reload. I'm going to try playing poker again.
What are the rules for the game? I forget.

[Seitz333]

Rules:

1. When w16227 raises, he is bluffing, always make a call there 100% of the time.
2. When megabit raises, he is semi-bluffing, make a call 75% of the time.
3. Always raise PF with 72o
3. When you raise with JJ and get reraised, then fold.
4. Remember AK is a drawing hand, not a made hand.
5. I always have the nutz!

Welcome back!

I think he means 'Dy-no-MITE!'

It amazes me how stupid some of these CC people are.
5 charges on the biggest shopping holiday of the year?
They must have been SOOOO BIG that red flags were everywhere!
And then they are closed with no support for these situations???

Ever have your CC locked out because the gas pump cut you off at $1.00 and you had you reswipe and pump more? The next store you go to tells you your card is declined.
You call and the buthole tells you mutliple charges at a gas pump are a red flag. Happend 2x to me.

It's happened to me too and I finally found out the reasoning behind it. Credit card thieves routinely use stolen credit cards and counterfeit cards made from stolen numbers at pay-at-the-pump gas stations. They do this initially prior to attempting face-to-face usage to see whether the cards have been cancelled or not. One of my stolen card numbers was used at a Rio de Janiero gas station for two < $3 charges.

Emptypocs, you could use one of these. Works all the time.

[yeltzen]

Gas stations don't require verification, so they flag them.

I've never played for money online, what are the safeguards against a few guys being online and on the phone telling each other what they have?
