I'm confused why Little seems to be so anti-ACR. Does anyone know why?
History repeats itself, and I do not want my students to get crushed like many did by most of the previous unlicensed, unregulated sites.
I draw attention to the shills because many of them make grand claims like ACR is as safe as a bank and that your money is secure there, which is obviously not true. I am not a fan of people who actively deceive their audience in exchange for $1,000/month.
Also, an ACR rakeback company told me they paid Boski $50 to make a video attempting to belittle my character on youtube. They then offered me $150 to make a rebuttal video with dirt they provided on Boski. Obviously I am not going to make a video attempting to belittle someone I have never interacted with. I am not a fan of such business practices, which ACR is apparently fine with and I speculate they authorized.
That said, ACR does a great job of attracting American fish, resulting in them being able to run lots of tournaments on Sundays. I make it clear to my students that I play there because I can put in a ton of volume over the course of my 16-hour streamed sessions to generate content for my training site. I play every $30+ buy-in tournament, resulting in me 16-tabling most of the day, and getting to play a few $1,000+ buy-in games. Also, I do not want to travel from my home in NYC to play elsewhere. My situation (demanding substantial volume and high stakes from home) is not the situation most players are in.
If you do not care about the money you have on the site (obviously only keep enough for one day at a time on the site, see my video on how to cash out quickly and efficiently), you do not mind the site crashing often, and you do not mind playing on a site with few to no security practices, it could be the site for you.
