I was thinking about getting it but I had a few questions. What's the deal with local blackouts? Is there a way to circumvent them? Can multiple users be on the same account at once? My friends and I were torn between Gamecenter and "The Other Option" but apparently "The Other Option" is strictly one user one account, so that's a no go. I'm primarily worried about the blackouts because I want to use it to watch Canucks games, being able to watch other teams is nice and all but if I can't watch the Canucks due to blackouts then Gamecenter is useless to me. Thanks for the help.

If you live in bc theres blackouts.

What platform are you using, theres almost always a way around.

My PC. I know there are methods of bypassing the blackouts but I'm not sure how 'safe' they are, I don't want the account to be frozen by Rogers. Have you dealt with blackouts or do you live elsewhere?

I live in bc part of the year. Never have blackouts through ps3.
Dont know about pc but the workaround has worked fine for me.

Take a sleeping pill. I can't sleep on flights ever so I've finally come around on them as I usually have to drive after I arrive at my destination. If you don't want to go all-out sleeping pill even just a drowsy antihistamine or two can help a ton. Nothing better than getting woken up by the plane landing on the runway.

Take a sleeping pill and/or pull an all-nighter the night before (if your flight is in the morning).

However - just remember - if someone offers you drugs:

Just say no. Just say no. Just say no. Just say no. Just say no. Just say no. Just say no. Just say no. Just say no. Just say no. Just say no. Just say no. Just say no. Just say no. Just say no. Just say no. Just say no. #Narcos

I turned $100 into $260 in blackjack. I'm quitting my job to become a professional gambler.

I've made around $8000 playing poker, but I've put in probably close to 20k.
So I'm not going pro anytime soon.

Also roulette is my fav game and I've lost countless hundreds playing it.

Problem is, my flight is chopped up into 3 segments: YVR-Montreal, Montreal-Frankfurt, Frankfurt-Prague. The longest I'll be on any flight is about 6 hours. Not too bad though, but if I take a sleeping pill I'll still probably be messed up by the time I have to wake up.

That and I can't sleep on flights. Even after taking 2 ativan and some wine before.

Take trains and boats instead. It will only take much longer and cost more.

Believe it or not I've considered this. :laugh:

Flight is at 12:20, and I arrive in Prague at 1:20pm Saturday (Prague time). I'm gonna be super tired, but doubt I'll be able to sleep on the flight.

Ah well.

I had an unhealthy interest in poker when I was a teenager. I'm kind of glad I got over it before I became old enough to legally gamble because I could have risked a lot of money... :laugh: Though I did make a couple hundred bucks playing with friends over that time.

I can't really get into a game where I don't have any control over the situation. I would only do very small bets if I was playing roulette, I can't trust it. :laugh:

Having more free time than most ppl poker was a easy option. I've since cooled off on going to the casino. Especially in Vancouver for certain reasons.

Roulette is just fun. I get carried away quick and do not care.
Play red or black for a bit, drink a cold beverage. Play the inside for a bit, drink a cold beverage.

Good times.

Want to know the difference between a professional poker player and a pizza?

A pizza can feed a family of four.

EpochLink - good stuff, there, bud. Hope the feelings are reciprocated and that your relationship progresses. (That doesn't sound very magical or romantic at all, but hopefully the sentiment comes across clearly)
