Man, give the guy a chance. He is only trying something new, nobody is forcing anyone to go and play on the site. If you think its BS then just don't go there, if it ends up being a technological step back then it will be busto in 6 months. I think his idea behind burn cards is to mirror a live game as much as possible, obviously burn cards are not needed online but it won't hinder the game any.

If anything we should all work together to point when any site is blowing smoke. The more informed the community is the less we will get scammed.

BTW,If the burn card was the worst of his ideas, we wouldn't even be discussing this site.

I was more implying to give the guy a chance and see how the whole thing works before everyone goes after him with burning torches. The burn card comment was more in answer to a question a previous post had about why the site owner has decided there is to be a burn card ( there are some vids on you tube somewhere where he explains this).

Now that's putting your money where your mouth is. What does that even mean? No duplicate cards were dealt? Outstanding! Truly innovative!

Apt name mickhead even if the spelling is a bit off, very mature to quote me and change the wording. I see you must have headed the debating team at some point, maybe politics is a good route for you to follow!

Really the criticism wasn't even aimed at you. It was at the site founder who can't string two sentences together.

I wonder how many accounts the owner has here. Has he outed himself? Or does he just read posts and make you tube vids to respond? I am interested to see this site in operation though. gl RD.
And ya, his fyp was a good one.

After watching those videos I definitely wouldn't deposit on this site ever. The guy doesn't seem very business savvy and you can't trust someone like that in charge. If he wants this to be a success then he will need to become a more professional character. Right now everything just seems like a basement operation... not gonna be a good site at all.

bottom line if this is a site where bad poker players are going to go to play... and most everybody who post on two plus two believes themselves to be anything but a bad poker player and use post here as evidence thereof...why bash the site..why try to ruin it. Wouldn't all you great poker player want to play against the bad poker players? This whole thread is LOL...

Its simple his machine shuffle a deck it cuts a deck it scans the data of hat deck into a computer... the computer deals that deck... Let him sell his brand of the hamburger and the market will allow it to live or die...

It is pretty funny that the interviewer guy just looks like a deer in headlights the whole time. After the rambling he's just like "uh...ok...so next question...ah I've got the same question here. Maybe you could answer it this time."

No I'm not the site owner... Just stating my impression.

Shouldn't good poker players like your self "bumb hunt" and why not go to a site where the bumbs are going to play?

You shouldn't bag the system he seems to have proven he has a legitimate shuffling system.. You should be more concerned with the integrity of the money.

That has turned out to not be entirely true.

How isn't it not 'entirely true"... what evidence has the blogosphere uncovered by watching his videos?

You should read this thread, Stephen.

The bottom line is they figured out they couldn't create enough decks by machine (duh). So they use some bizarre algorithm to create more virtual decks..... by computer!!! On a site built on the promise of dealing a real deck.

Since when has he proven he has a legitimate shuffling system? He's told us he has a legitimate shuffling system. I haven't seen any proof.

I did go looking for the play money download that someone said they were playing on. I couldn't find anywhere to download it though.

This serves as excellent cliff notes for the entire thread, IMO.

Lock it down, mods, lock it down.
