  When Phil talks, every poker player should listen. This is well presented analysis that will be exactly what the suits at GG have been modelling.
  
  I've heard it's easier to get big money on GG than Stars. That's not my experience of GG trying to deposit a few thousand a couple of years ago, which was related to UK KYC laws being excessively applied. I sent them bank statements and wage slips, but they couldn't get their head around transfers to savings and investments not being day-to-day spend. They also don't care about net wealth and a lack of gambling deposits in the statements.

  100% this. The outcome was exactly what GG were hoping for.
  
  Galfond might just be the most respected senior voice in poker.

  It could be worse. There is one site that manages to get away with charging a whopping 7.5% rake, capped at up to 35bb's per hand for some of their cash games.

  Proof if proof were needed that the Sky really is the limit. I believe some of their more loyal customers have been reaching for the stars a bit more often than they used to lately.
