    Confession: I faked being Canadian for about 6 months right after the UIGEA in order to keep playing on some non-US-friendly networks

    Here is my fake electric bill. Now that I look at it again, I probably could have done a better job, but they bought it.

    Look how Canadian I was 10 years ago. October 7, 2006 and I'm paying that Hydro Quebec electric bill of $40. I realize that it's a bit low, but September is so nice in Quebec that I didn't have to run any heat or A/C... and I spent every night by candlelight as a show of support for the Quebecois breaking away from the clutches of oppressive Mother Canada.



    Also I sent them a phony rental agreement which was pretty convincing looking.

    The address was a mail drop service which forwarded all mail to any address I chose.

    At the time, a google of the address didn't come back as a mail drop, but it did later.

    Eventually I determined that the sites weren't that good anymore without the US donks, so I dropped the whole ruse.

    I also went to a live poker tournament in November 2006 and had to maintain the ruse so it wouldn't get back to the online poker site (which was sponsoring that tournament). So I was listed as a Canadian and had to tell everyone I lived in Laval. Fortunately nearly everyone at this tournament was from Europe, so nobody knew what the hell I was talking about, and didn't question it.

    Fun times.

    Thought this sounded familiar.

    Druff loves sticking it to Canada.

    You're not the first lower American to wrap themselves in a Canadian flag. Oppressive is an interesting word choice coming from a daft dodger

    BTW, which networks were non U.S. friendly?

    Shall be watching the US Electoral Debate later whilst 8 tabling Stars.

    The beautiful irony being. The word 'Freedom' will no doubt be spewed out at least several dozen times.

    LOL Laval. What would you have done if they started communicating with you in French?
