Not sure but the K may have run its course and it's time to sign a new one for 2006.---Surely, they will have this remedied ASAP.
blukky----You need to listen to some Aretha Franklin---One of her songs says,'You've got to,,,,,,, accentuate the positive---belay the negative----and don't mess with Mr. innnn-between."
Belay the negative. Try some ole positiveness. It'll sooth your soul!eom
March,17th,2006----Green beer for all!!!That's pints of beer with $100 bills stuffed in the glass.gimh
IMHO---I have a few comments---Otto, your poker platform MUST be easy to download, people friendly, and contain the ut-most in security measures. State-of-the-art stuff!!!
Horatian Holdings must NOT be greedy and put most if not all of its first profits into advertising and promotion for this site to take advantage of securing a slice of the sector.
When Horation Holdings does well, EZ2companies follows with similar results..imo
Forgive the micro-management talk, but take help when offered, if you so desire.
PS; I have yet to locate any sort of advertisement for EZ2 poker outside of what us shareholders are all aware of. Can someone familiar with online poker recomend places where EZ2poker should be advertised, including the www? I'd like to do some DD on that?TIA papaocean

The Poker World Is Flat, Part 1
By JAMES McMANUS
Published: December 31, 2005
In his optimistic best seller "The World Is Flat," the New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman uses "flat" as a synonym for connected - digitally, that is, by fiber-optic cables. Friedman makes a compelling case that a "triple convergence" of Internet technology with economic and political events at the dawn of the 21st century has generated "more horizontal and collaborative" means of creating value. While warning of several dangers lurking in this global topology, he celebrates the more level playing field and the breathtaking variety of opportunities for those with the imagination and technical training to seize them.
The online poker boom is a telling example of flatness, of course, and that "The World Is Flat" doesn't mention it is the subject of my next column. For now let me focus on another strange fact, namely how unruffled the virtual poker world is by the Justice Department's contention that it violates American law.
A recent front-page article in The Times reported that despite the illegal status of online casinos in this country, even blue-chip houses like Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs have begun to buy their stock. The article noted that the increasing fervor of American investors "highlights the difficulty of policing cross-border activity in the Internet age at the same time that electronic commerce and a global economy are creating fast economic partners across national boundaries."
According to industry research, more than $60 billion has been wagered on more than 200 poker sites in 2005, most of it lost or won by Americans. For the last two years, traffic on the leading Web sites has doubled about every six months. On Dec. 1, Morgan Stanley reported that Sportingbet was taking in $530,000 a day from its poker business. PartyGaming has been valued as high as $12 billion since its initial public offering in London on June 30 raised more than $8 billion; PartyPoker.com, the world's busiest virtual card room, accounts for 92 percent of PartyGaming's revenues.
Several factors make online poker appealing to players: speed, convenience, weak competition, no need to tip dealers. Some sites provide hand histories that help track tendencies and plug leaks in our game, and to profit from those in our opponents'. Even more important is the absence of physical tells. Picking up on betting patterns becomes more important than raw psychological acumen.
There's no intimidating eye contact here, though comments in the chat box can be withering. About half of all online players are women, some of whom want to avoid an aggressive casino environment. Novices of either sex can compete for pennies, or for play money only. The big sites offer the opportunity to choose among thousands of games, from play money up to six-figure stakes. With action available around the clock, there's no need to get on an airplane, drive to a casino or even put on a clean shirt.
Blogs and chat rooms teem with charges of dealing that is programmed to give multiple players good hands, thereby increasing the bets and the rake, and of sites rigging the deal to prevent new players from losing so quickly that they become discouraged. No hard evidence, however, has been produced to support such claims. I would also point out that the 5 percent rake most sites take is more than sufficiently juicy, and that nonrandom dealing would slaughter the platinum goose. Those who claim to see far more bad beats online should remember that virtual games deal at least twice as many hands an hour; the more hands you play, the more bad beats you will suffer. Sophisticated software also lets the sites check hand histories and IP addresses for evidence of player collusion.
Another thing I like is that the world can seem very tiny, and timeless, while you're playing online. My opponents this morning on PokerStars.com include birdwings from Lebanon, alexia18 from Dusseldorf, dedor from Tel Aviv and wasp from County Derry. As we chat and compete, they could be sitting in front of a desktop computer at home or a laptop three gates down the concourse from me. Next week two or more of us might be sitting elbow to elbow at the live event held by PokerStars.com in the Bahamas, a tournament played mostly by people who won their $8,000 seat on the site. The prize money will be deposited in PokerStars accounts, then recirculate back into - where?
A lot of folks besides federal prosecutors wonder exactly where all this virtual action takes place. In a cable submerged 619 miles east-northeast of Paradise Island? Well, in the case of PartyPoker.com, the home office is in Gibraltar; the hardware in Kahnawake, a Mohawk reservation in Canada; and the marketing office in London, though most staff members work in a call center in Hyderabad, India. The players are in 24 time zones across six continents and on scores of ships at sea.
As millions more virtual hands are dealt this New Year's Eve, poker seems poised to become the world's game. The World Series has already crowned champions from China, Iran, Vietnam, Ireland, Spain and Australia. While the Justice Department figures out how to proceed, our national pastime, born during Jefferson's presidency, remains a sturdy crucible in which players from all over the planet find themselves welcome contenders.
nostinkinc---I don't know and truth be known, I use the link on the EZ2 board. Seems you have continually asked the same question at nausium. I don't and won't click on the ones you post. I mean no disrespect, but do you sell domain names or direct potential EZ2poker enthusiasts to another site??? Are you interested in any other facet of the EZ2company's business or is that your thing----harping on related names to this Co.eom
For all you party-goers...in the course of all the chit-chat this evening, a positive mention of EZ2poker and the fact it is brand new and ground breaking(face to face-monitors)may not get you lucky in love, but it may increase your chances of increasing the value of your portfolio(write it down for them---they prob. won't remember a word of it in the morn).gimh
OT---Faithful husband!
Drunk, late, hungover ... what did he do right?
Marty wakes up at home with a huge hangover. He forces himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins and a glass of water on the side table. He sits down and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed. Marty looks around the room and sees that it is in a perfect order, spotless, clean. So's the rest of the house. He takes the aspirins and notices a note on the table "Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early to go shopping. Love you."
So he goes to the kitchen and sure enough there is a hot break- fast and the morning newspaper. His son is also at the table, eating.
Marty asks, "Son, what happened last night?"
His son says, "Well, you came home after 3 A.M., drunk and delirious. Broke some furniture, puked in the hallway, and gave yourself a black eye when you stumbled into the door."
Confused, Marty asks, "So, why is everything in order and so clean, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me?"
His son replies, "Oh that! Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your pants off, you said, "Lady, leave me alone, I'm married'!"
Truth can cause confusion:
Boss: Why were you late today?
Employee: I went out last night and I stayed out too late.
Boss: I am not sure if I should admire your honesty or if I should fire you for not having the courtesy to lie to me.

POKER ONLINE---Otto, Rob and investors/shareholders---For all our reading pleasure---This article seems to sum things up for whomever you may be imo: http://www.pokerxplorer.com/onlinepoker.htm
Happy New Year to all, sincerely---papaocean
Back at ya---JB
IMO-MIKEY that is the right move. EZ2 needs a blitz to re-introduce itself nowwwwwwwww. Restore the confidence and open peoples eyes again.eom
The Jan. effect is upon us SOOOOONNNNN!!!IMHO---EZ2 and all her divisions should be actively promoting themselves. Get in the neeeewwwwwws.eom
Morn.-Lady---What a great time to load up here!!!The problem is that this one hasn't had a PR in over a month, so it's no longer on most investor's radar screens. I dont count the Q filing----that was BS.----No news, no buzz---no buzz, no investors.imo---eom.
PIGGY, PIGGY
Lady-Your right.---Imo JB has the inside track on EZ2 now and imo---we will not see the pps at this level again anytime soon. When I last spoke with JB, he was confident and high-spirited about the near term and long term future of this Co. I want to feel that same kind of excitement!eom
Lunch my ask Lady---You would kidnap-em and keep-em for yourself.gimh
Agreed again Mikey---JB will sign on IF there is a level playing field..imo...IF not, I don't blame him for not signing on----After all, It's his reputation at stake!!!!Otto & Rob got us this far so, take a hand you two!
JB---gather a great team together and then we'll see if this dog will hunt!eom
Agreed Mikey---We need a PR and someone at the helm that's compliant with the transparency theory.eom
Agree with the sketchy part lady----"if" in fact I was relying on trends in the market.---I'm not! I invested in a company-start-up Co., low# of OS, visionary like CEO, no debt, bright future...etc. My concern with EZ2 is that we have been strung along after this Co. got on the board. Futhermore; I don't know where we are heading now! My greatest worry is simply that historically, this Co. shows little respect for her investors/shareholders...imo...and that, by itself, is cause for great concern(some shareholders have seen their share value plumett 75% as of recent. Now imgine the "new plan" including a RS?????) Nightmare-ish! This is not what I expect and simply, mo.
Anyone buying or selling due to my comments should not as I have had my head examined, and it ain't right!
Mikey,-Greens,---we'll see the answer to that question soon...imho:(if RS...imo...we've been had---again)

Once that E & related bs is behind us I'm gonna work with Otto 2 setup a webcast,which he is totally into.To discuss the future with regards 2 a new plan 4 ez2.But b4 that takes place a cpl other things will need 2 b in place & i'm confident he's working on those things NOW.But most here have their own perceptions & I'll respect that lol
Easy does it lol>>>>>>JB
JB---I understand that due to current events(I must assume here...),-you cannot post on I-Hub or anywhere for that matter.---You have declared this in your "last" post. This, in fact, does not mean you cannot read what is posted. Of course, we (the investors/shareholders) have wished you well...those of us who said it, meant it.imho
Having said that, there is great concern, hopes, and doubts surrounding this Co. and the "plan" associated with it. We sit idly by waiting to hear some vocal reaction from the Co., while interest is IMHO, at an all time low. Imho---Now would be a good time to establish what you have envisioned:
JB-- "I'm a shareholder & expect this company 2 become muy shareholder friendly.Webcasts,CC's & input 2 & from shareholders is of the utmost importence 2 me :)))."
GL & TIA---papaocean
Morn.pupp-Don't know,-but---imo---big C has set the hook in this one.---I realy don't know about a table,---do they even have one?---JB was talking crops & harvesting last time we heard---don't think there are tables in a field...Alas---"FIELD OF DREAMS."eom
3 full trading day's left till the "NEW YEAR"!----Anyone care to comment on Sir Otto's 2005 company projections or is that just too painful????Please,-please don't give projections for 2006. I'm still choking on 2005's.eom
We've got 3 bus. day's left to this year,-then the new year open of the market and at this rate of declining pps, we'll be back under 2 cents by the end of this week. That is vile when you consider that some sites are not working and everything else is speculative. Where are the solutions? The slide continues without any comment from EZ2companies.
SOS.-eom
HOOOO HUUUUUMMMMMM ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Mikey's right---There is NO reason for this pps to get this low.-Nothing has changed-investors still the whipping post---News friendly pr, my ask. There is none-again---same ole, same ole---gear up for the big decline/again!Imo-eom
Brian-Just one more link about poker for your reading pleasure...lol-- http://www.pokerxplorer.com/onlinepoker.htm
Agreed Brian---There is ballance to the articles and It seems even the experts have a wait and see attitude. I think I know where you feel comfortable, and this is not the place.lol---GLTY, Brian.
Briam-I'm still bullish on gambling stocks as is the BOOOOYYYYAAAAA MAN. Some Co.'s are going to be "out" and some will have steady,but lower rev's---This is expected, is it not, after an immense run. Imo-As the nitche market solidifies, there will be loyal fans and customers to continue Poker online into another growth period(it is huge, esp. overseas). I believe EZ2poker.com has something new to offer and we'll see, soon enough, if it makes it's mark on the industry(I don't worry about US implications--I'm optimistic about the overseas markets regarding this venue). "NO "negative waves man"-Movie-"Kelly's Heroe's".eom
Ps: The US economy is struggling with several large crisis' at the moment such as the funding of the war. This is a very good time to mave some money abroad...imo---Poker is on fire, seems practical to invest there, for starters!imo
