I want to make an update on my experiences at GamesGridPoker. For the past
week or so I have been mentioning all of the positive aspects of playing
at GG. It has not been difficult, because almost everything has gone well
for me there. The growth this week has really been significant. As a new
start up site, it is hard to gain the trust and loyalty of players that
have been around for a while. We have all been misled by promotions that
were never honored or not explained truthfully. This is NOT the case at
GamesGridPoker.

Here is my history of play at GG for the since 04/12/05:

04/12..........deposit $50
04/13..........deposit $50
04/16..........withdrawal $350
04/18..........VFP payment $31.09
04/20..........withdrawal$150

I recieved a 1000% bonus ($500) on my first deposit of $50. Bonus clrars
every nite bsaed on previous days play and so far I have cleared $35 ($465
left to be cleared in a year!!!)

I play .50/1.00 NL and no higher than 3/6 limit. I am always able to find
a good game at those levels.

I signed up under referral from ScotchRox. He said that I wouldn't be
sorry and he was right!!!!

I'll field this one even though I have yet to play there.  I believe the play
money games' buy-ins/blinds are marked as FP (free play) instead of $.

The bonus is what drew me to the site. The integrity of the mgmt and
friendlieness of the players is what keeps me returning. Oh....the soft
games are a good thing also!!

I signed up under the referral from ScothRox. He said that I would not be
sorry. He is right.

So, was scothRox right when he said you wouldn't be sorry. Seriously, that
line, EVERY DAY, makes you sound like nothing but a spammer. Probably what you
are, but, hey. Anyway, the don't you mean the soft "game" because I've never
seen more than one game at any limit. And it was far from soft.

credible to answer.

I doubt I have credibility, but it's legit. I haven't cashed out yet
though. onyx_hokie got me playing there. The table is strange, but
after getting used to it, it's fine.

The 1000% bonus up to a $500 deposit is legit too. The VFP pays you 3
small bets an hour as long as you play 10 hours a week.

If you refer someone, you get 25% of their net rake.

They've been in bidness since 97 for backgammon and gin for money, but
like FellKniggit said "I don't know if I want to play cards against
backgammon and gin players".

I won't spam you, but if you want to sign up, I'd appreciate it if
you'd use me as a referral. Shoot me an email - everyone knows my
email by now...

At this exact moment, they've got 3 full tables of HE. 2/4 LHE, 1/2
NLHE, .05/.10 NLHE. Last night they had 8 tables running up to 3/6
LHE - it's slow, but it's ramping up. For god's sake it better, I
have $5000 in bonus to clear.

They had an $8 buy in $10k guaranteed the other night, and I think
they had 300 people in it.

ok, so you say it pays you three small bets an hour as long as you play ten
hours a week.  so.. , let's say i'm playing 1/2 no limit, does this mean i earn
three bucks an hour towards my bonus?  so if i deposit a hundred bucks, and can
earn up to 1,000, it will take me somewhere in the neighborhood of 350 hours to
clear, assuming i don't go broke?  I'm math retarted so please let me know if i
have this all wrong.

No - the VFP program is seperate and distinct from the bonus clearing.

VFP:

http://www.gamesgrid.com/promotions_vfp.html

Seperate from the bonus, you are paid 3 small bets per hour as long as
you play ten hours a week for playing there if you sign up.


Bonus:

http://www.gamesgrid.com/promotions_1000bonus.html

1000% up to $500, you have a full year to clear it. You earn the
bonus even if you aren't paying the rake. As long as you were dealt
in, you get rake credit.

meatball is a player and RGPer who used my name at sign-up. He's been
happy with his experience with GamesGrid and me, and I thank him for
mentioning my name in his posts about GamesGrid. I am glad he is so
pleased with it all.

As for the play, you must be missing the peak playing hours because I can
always find plenty of 2/4 and 3/6 limit games after about noon Arizona
time. And there seems to be a 1/2 no-limit (200 max buy-in) game running
round the clock now. I'm sure the traffic will be way up 2-3 hours after I
post this.

Cheers,
Brian "ScotchRox" Peterson
