Full Tilt Introduces New Deposit Method MyWebATM

Many members of Full Tilt Poker's mailing list were introduced earlier this morning to a new method of deposit/withdrawal. Many in the industry had heard rumors of new deposit options in the wake of the Neteller trouble, and it appears the new options are beginning to surface. Responding to the problem created with the shutdown of Neteller, Full Tilt has decided to endorse MyWebATM as a secure new option for deposits and withdrawals. The site links your online poker account to your personal bank account and simplifies withdrawals by mailing users an ATM card. The MyWebATM card can be used by any ATM which supports CIRRUS, which is accepted at virtually any ATM in the country. read more...

Reed Poker Online 01/31 Results

Record turnout for the 2nd online tourney on FTP with 6 players.Due to FTP’s payout structure it paid 3 places.

Now onto the knockouts…

About 15 minutes into play Trinity “Outlaw Jesco”, Matt “mukraven” and Justin “J21FLUSH” all limp into a pot. The flop comes A83 w/ all calling $80 to see turn. OutlawJesco re-raises all-in and J21FLUSH calls. Trinity shows a set of 3’s only to be behind to Justin’s set of slow played A’s. Trinity danced his way to the online rail in 6th place.

A couple of hands later, Jeff “Harley1998” and Brian “car_guy_67” got all-in pre-flop. Jeff turns up 88 and Brian shows 1010. Brian’s pocket 10’s held up and sent Jeff to riding off into the sunset in 5th place.

Players really tighten up for the next hour and fifteen minutes. Finally, Justin and Sean “All In Reed” end up all-in post-flop both being the short stacks. Flop was 510J and Justin shows J8 and Sean loosely calls with Q10. Sean suck outs w/ a 10 on the river to flush Justin’s hopes of cashing in his first event. Justin finishes in 4th place.

After Brian’s Q10 doubles up against Sean’s A4, the next hand an extremely short stack Sean pushes w/ A3 and Brian calls with 22. The 2’s held and Sean is all out in 3rd place for a $6 cash.

We’re now heads up w/ last week’s champ Matt and Event #1’s champ Brian. I couldn’t get the hand history on their hands. Brian ended up needing a tune-up and sputtered his way to a 2nd place finish and cash of $9.

Once again, Matt wins the online tourney for $15. Congrats Matt!

How to Deposit Money Online Now...

Life after Neteller...As many of you know Neteller and Click2Pay* are not taking U.S. money anymore. The option that is left is ePassport.com. The only drawback seems to be the fee ($5 per $100)So,if you deposit $50 to epassport you have $45 available. I used it tonite to deposit to FTP. I was able to complete the sign up and have the money in Full Tilt in under 10 minutes. Although I did not like the fees, we gotta pay to play until the government comes to their senses and allows online poker deposits. If anyone has any questions feel free to email me.

UPDATE: I have been informed some VISA cards will allow you to deposit directly to the site without fees. Although you may not be able to withdraw it directly back to your card. (Have not heard one way or another) But you can have them cut you a check for your winnings.
