Yes they could but it stops short-stackers getting aip with any decent hand, kinda defeats the point of ratholing all together if they cant just play push/fold poker

I agree at least allow players the option of creating 50 big blind tables I have been thinking about this for a while also. Can still leave the short ones. If isee 3 players with 20 percent buyins  not going to bother player obv.

agreed, completely ruins the game, especially when its PLO

Bitcoin is liberating the online poker world. I'm a poker player, live and online. Because I live in the United States I can't play on a big named site like PokerStars. Bitcoin and poker are match made in heaven because you can deposit and withdrawal faster than ever before. Passionate poker players who have in the past Waited weeks/months for a payout via check/western union/money laundered bank transfer know the true power of a bitcoin poker site is that the government can't tell me no. They can't tell me Im not allowed to deposit fiat currency to play. They can't tell me I can't withdraw my money into my bank. They can't force me to play in a state/government run poker system.

I too am a professional poker player living in the US (although I did move to Costa Rica and Macau for some time after Black Friday).  The withdrawal/deposit speeds made possible by Bitcoin are exciting for poker players, however sites allowing US based players are no more legally allowed to operate in the US then PokerStars or Full Tilt.  SealsWithClubs could be shut down tomorrow in the US if the DOJ wanted to do so.  The fact that you are playing with Bitcoin rather than USD does not matter, it is still a real money game.

High frequency trading alone does not create large price swings.  Actually it significantly narrows spreads and makes markets less liquid.  It represents innovation, not a reason to be fearful, as many people like to claim HFT is. And yes if bitcoin survives it will be traded like this by many firms.
205  Economy / Economics / Re: Residual effect from MtGox on: March 18, 2014, 12:22:15 AM
this would actually increase volatility.  With less liquidity in the market, bid/ask spreads will widen and we will see sharper price moves.

If it causes more people to start using Bitcoin then it is good. If it doesnt than it is neutral.

Yea and your local 7/11 should also accept all cryptocurrencies and let you buy meth with them

easiest way to deal with ratholers is to increase min buyin to 50bbs

Easiest way to buy/sell coins in the US is Coinbase.  If you want coins on an exchange so you can trade, you can send the ones you purchased from Coinbase to Bitstamp if you are having difficulty getting fiat onto Bitstamp.

btc/usd volume for past 24 hours is a whopping 1.9 coins, yikes
218  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Thoughts on Kraken on: March 17, 2014, 11:22:17 PM
Euro volume is pretty non-existant too, past 24 hour volume of 466 coins only.

looks like a decent interface, but not much more than that.  Prefer TradingView.com for charts.

day trading Bitcoin is dead until we get some volume again, virtually none to be found the past 10 days
