So i deposited for the first time in a while on this poker site. I was playing .5 .10 . I'm not pro. Just having some fun. I bought the minimum $4 the first time. Got stacked. Second time I buy in the minimum, after a little while i get stacked again. And a screen pops up asking me to pick a card. Red or black. Now i'll admit. I didnt fully read the screen. Afterwards i learned that it was a " Bet 8$ to win 16$ if your colored card is drawn" . Of course.. mine wasnt lol computers. I should have read things differently. I thought it was some free game or something. I really should have paid attention, but i was also buying in for the minimum 4$ and never expected to lose another 8 dollars on what amounts to a backroom pick a number game with some sleezeball.

Look maybe this is not an angle shoot, but this type of **** is pretty ridiculous. I'm sure some degenerates will go for it thinking they will win, but i honestly just didnt realize what the hell i was doing. They caught me off guard. I wasnt playing for 8$. I just feel like i got bamboozled here.

Would love some opinions.

Well did you pick red or black?

It is a stupid addition they made a few weeks ago. It makes it annoying to close out tables. If you are ahead x amount then it asks you if you want to go double or nothing.
If you are stuck x amount then it asks you if you want to get even or lose double.

stop blaming others for u being a weak person. they exploited u and u let them, just take it like a man instead of crying about 8 ****ing dollars.

You can disable it in the options but it cost me $400 the first time the screen popped up as well.

LOL. Pretty blunt and straightforward dont you think

There we are! Thanks for bringing the spirit of 2+2 into this thread so swiftly!

na wpn is just desperate for some cash and you accidentally clicked their greedy nonsense, all is good just disable it

Definitely an angle. Should be turned off by default and you can enable if you want.

Oh, ok I see you disable this crap. Cool.

This is some Alec Torrelli level angling.

Double or nothing... but it's not a 50/50 win chance.

What is the win chance? If you're picking either a red or black card isn't it 50/50? Excuse my ignorance.

Until it happens to you and you make your own thread crying about it. Or better yet, make a new account and then a thread!

Seems a little sleezy but it's tough out there in the un-tracked American sites and sometimes they just gotta hustle people.

I think there is also two green cards. It's like betting red or black on roulette

Accidentally clicked a color and then accidentally clicked the confirmation asking if you're sure you want to wager $8. Nah.

Not a big fan of the having this feature on the poker side, but I admit that's a pretty uninformed opinion since I have no clue how it affects things overall. Anyway, glad to hear there is a confirmation dialog before accepting the wager.

gl flippers!

Yeah there's no way a person on the internet clicking threw multiple windows would click an entire TWO buttons by accident. We're all poker players here and i'm sure nobody here has ever made such a mistake, none of us have ever misclicked. Lets just defend a BS feature because you rep the site instead of actually showing a shred of customer service.

Customer service doesn't mean you let every customer freeroll you.

i mean its possible, its just not likely..

I tested this out in the micro stakes and kept picking black. It was red every time. I disabled it. Next.
