It's terrible for the game in a million ways, playing someone HU now is virtually impossible if you even show any profit, I'm probably a lifetime break even or losing player at HU and regs still won't play me. Whatever happened to actually figuring out if the person you are playing is good or not and then quitting. These Pus*ies that bum hunt should be burned at the stake.......my two cents

first time this topic has been discussed

It's been discussed, but Poker Table Ratings is bad for the game in a lot of ways. I completely agree that something should change. At the very least get rid of the comments section. If a frequent depositing fish discovers PTR and sees a page of comments about how to exploit him or insulting him, he's going to be pretty upset. He may change sites or quit playing all together.

Of course, I'm not saying anything new.

too late now CR and the like have ruined the HU games, take me back to 2006 please.

uh noo keep it

One could argue that 2p2 is terrible for the game in a million ways... or that duecescracked or cardrunners are terrible for the game...

but you know what's ACTUALLY terrible for the game? UIGEA. If you REALLY want to try to save poker, do something to fight that.

You sir have issues far extending beyond poker, counceling could help you, seek it out before it is too late, and fwiw based on your posts I could make four dollars a month and still be more happy than you

It is a Pain in the ass especially if you play hu. At any point there are 20 hu tables on ps with one guy sitting and like 2-3 willing to play me even though I'm only a marginal winner there at 100nl. When I open my own table sometimes players will join in sit out for a minute and then leave without playing a hand, which obviously means they're blocking up the seat and checking up on stats. It's taken bumhunting to a whole new level..

I agree that PTR is bad for the game, especially HU. One good thing about it however, and pretty much the only reason I use it is to see (when possible) who is a hit n running pos. I insta mark hit n runners and that's the only comments I will ever leave.

I understand hit n running is as much a part of hu poker as moronic comments are in nvg - But it would still be cool to see less of both.

why cant TR give players the option of being opted out of their data base?

[ ] you make 6/7 figures bum hunting

OP is retarded. You think is PTR goes away bumhunters are suddenly going to play you? They will play you 10 hands and quit

how the hell are they supposed to get rid of it?

This is not true, especially hu. All you have to do is call a couple of raises with bad hands and theyll give you tons of action..

I mean they're bumhunters for a reason, they don't think about the game too deeply.

i love bumhunters
