Pokerstars is not legit, so down to two

I never tougth that robing legit players for just one week would be enough to start paying back the yankees rolls.

I never had a downswing at NL5 and NL2 until post Black Friday. Coincidence ?? I highly doubt it ... Especially because last night every single one of the pots I lost I did a +EV decision. The screen cap from HEM will follow soon. Thank GOD Im playing THEIR money.

And by the way. I defy anyone to show me a session where the first 3 hands that saw the flop and the money went in were 90%, 96% and 87% in front and the stupid moronic fish suck out (screen cap to follow soon too) ...

LEGIT BUSINESS ??? LOL !! MEGA LOL !!

Signing with the right hand trade treaties and with the left hands making laws against X trade included in the signed trade treaties.(Nice angle shooting) It's a fraud against the international community!

If the U.S Gov had respected the agreement in the first place, today it will be business as usual for poker!

Omg i'm too serious


Watch out don't play too much homegames.

No. Im surprised that they suck out a lot more than a legit deal would allow them to. Either they are site bots to collect money to pay the yankees or the site is continuing with the "cash to weak hands" scam they were only doing on weekends before Black Friday ...

I dont believe in coincidences ...

As I said before, THANK GOD they are robbing their own money !! Never will deposit at Pokerstars again. Thats for sure ...

You do realise that in most of the Western world you are innocent until found guilty by a properly convened court?

It may not have been the same in some of the former communist countries.

Say, wait a second ... are you some kind of commie, boy?

I would suggest people listen to the 2+2 pokercast this week as it has quite a bit of detail on the current situation and a rep from Stars gives a lot of information as well, including a breakdown of the steps they need to take and the order of priority of issues they need to consider.

Pokerstars handles things in such a methodical and professional and calculating manner that it actually puts Tilt to shame and I will not even talk about what UB/AP are like in comparison.

It is a good listen and then reading these LOLposts from random dudes/gimmicks about their freerolls, 2 NL beats and youtube videos gives some interesting contrasting perspective into the minds of those who are unprofessional and utterly self centered with their outlook of the world, because they have a cheeseburger worth of money on a site.

Why do you ask ?? Do you think the guys who created this world crisis were commies ?? Guess not ... they were greedy scumbags just like the ones running pokerstars !!

No business of any kind is shutdown by Feds without solid proof that crimes were comitted so the conviction is just a matter of time really ...

It was ... a joke!

BTW, businesses exist to make profit. If it were not for those whom you classify as 'greedy scumbags' we would mostly be living on farms scratching around to live.

You are the one missing the big picture. Its about my cheeseburger as much as Madoff were about ONE guys pension ...

There are THOUSANDS of players in the base of the piramyd that are getting screwed out of their cheeseburgers because of complete morons that argument like you. Of course my cheeseburgers mean nothing, but a thousand cheeseburgers (and Im beeing VERY VERY conservative) migth mean having cash to pay the yankees or NOT !!! And thats why FT doesnt pay and is underwater. Their player base outside US is LOL and it will take them a LOT MORE TIME do defraud such a small player base in order to pay back what they owe...

No, but I will start going around saying that it is a plausible idea that you have trouble argueing your point with ideas similar to the ones you're trying to refute.

What the hell does something very clearly incorrect with evidence have to do with something very plausible with no evidence?

And if neither sides have proof, why are we argueing? Why can't you guys just say "ok, could be." and move on with your lives.


You clowns realize your debating something you have no proof against vs a side who is just simply venting? lol, and you guys think the "Rigged" side are idiots.

We have "non-rigged" members here claiming all the "it's rigged" members are all losing players well then you guys must be winning so what are you doing wasting your time on here argueing opinions when you could be blasting up the tables cashing in.

Im not a commie or from a communist country. Im from a country in the verge of defaulting because of the greedy scumbags and I despise people who take advantage of capitalism and democracy to defraud people in order to make a buck. May be HONESTY is a bit out of fashion ...

Luckily in US there is still law because if this is in my country, the government crooks would be swimming on pokerstars money already, as they have every judge, FED or traffic cop in their back pockets !! Im from a country where our prime minister has a degree at a University that doesnt exist and with a diploma signed on a Sunday after faxing the exams to an imaginary teacher on a Saturday !!
