I have used crypto before over the years then get a tax form at the end of year. I dont mind paying the taxes but in the same sense I would like to also claim my losses. Kinda hard to show a bunch of deposits via random names to do this.

Also with the fluctuations of btc I perfer to make things simple without having to transfer to a stable coin, then sell crypto back. I also have a unique situation where bitcoin is not my best option my wife works for a investment firm and buying and trading cant be done outside her firm without risking her job.

That is more an issue of front running or utilizing non disbursed information. She can tell the firm that you hold $X in crypto. The movements in and out of wallets would be for purchases. Unless it is timed with breaking news ar the firm and/or substantial volume you would have no issues.

Did most of the unions do a reversal on the anti emulator thing? Been away for ~2 weeks and can still fire up 9/10 unions on emulator.

In all the bros unions I've played chopped pots are raked. In my experience when chopped pots aren't raked (all in live home games), it's because the rake is so high that fish who don't really pay attention to rake would see a big chunk of their stack taken out when they feel they should break even or make money.

Sounds like you can load up the unions, but can only play on certain 'PC" tables.

keeps instantly closing when trying to run it on blueatcks and nox. cant load app. anyone else had this issue?

Same, I use ldplayer4 and the app doesn’t respond.

Actually, it works for me after like the eighth time trying to open it.

is the diamond union raking 2 bb's at 2/4 max or what?

Yes - it’s stupid and very risky for your agent to use Zelle for transactions like this.

Zelle is just a front end for the ACH system between banks - so it’s literally like you’re writing personal checks to your bookie

Gosh dang can anybody confirm if the rake at 2/4 in the diamond union is two bb's?

i've asked this about five times now in this forum

Its been posted many times, go back a few pages.

Or just watch a table for a bit

Oh my god lazy nit, look at a table for 2 minutes and work it out

or just click search thread > type "diamond rake" > scroll > wow there it is!

I'm told that Diamond Union are "Testing" the Emu ban for a short period, and will review then. Does anyone have any more info on this, or can confirm it?

There must be some agents who are close with the Union owner with insight into this.

I don't know anything about it, but hopefully they keep it the way it is. I used an EMU and thought the change sucked at first. I hadnt played on PB in a few months and went to get back on recently. I loaded a couple full ring 1/2 tables and data mined for a few hours in primetime night hours.

The stats were the nittiest and seemed almost bot like. VERY SIMILAR. 0-1% limping for 8 players at the table was the most notable stat. Steal and fold to 3 bet were also all the same as eachother.

Either keep it the same where there is an option, or ban them outright which I highly doubt they would do. I can't ****ing stand playing bots, and you know they didn't ban EMU just to prevent people from using huds. They know they are overtaken with bots.

I've been with my current club/larger union for a year now.. I don't feel the need to disclose it but IF they do allow EMU's then I'm done...

Or at least have tables that say "EMUs allowed" because it's apparent that they are being used for HUDs, I think it's grossly unfair for people to use HUDs while others do not, and we are not aware of who is using a HUD.. at least mark those who are using them.

HUDs provide information beyond what is offered by the actual software, therefore, it gives those users an unfair advantage by providing them with more information on their opponents.

I'm all for note taking and the likes.. but please BROs Unions ./ Clubs... don't allow EMUs are at least have marked tables that allow them.

Let the HUD dorks battle each other on their own tables.

The sad part is many fish probably don't even know what PC Restriction is for so they sit there anyway. And I'm guessing fish don't use EMU's. They should go one step further which I know they won't and just have EMU only tables, to steal every last fish from those botting bastards.

Hey guys, anyone experiencing big lags with LDplayer 4 it seems super laggy since 2-3 days?

bro i had the same issue, my computer use to run 9 emulators now it lags using 5 within the past week or so. I look at my CPU and its running at like 95% on 5 emulators?!

I just downloaded LD player 5 to see whats going on, pokerbros doesnt seem to even work at all using that. GG

If you are using LDPlayer make sure that the Frame Per Second is set to 20 and also select 1 core in the settings. This will reduce CPU % being used.
There are instructions on how to do this in post #898.

Another option is the NoxPlayer emulator. It is more efficient in utilising resources, you could try using that.
The down side is that PokerMinion is buggy with it.

Is anyone running pokerbros on ld player 5??

Are you two confused and referring to their download link to the Android5.1 (LDPlayer3.101) version, or am I missing something?

I don't think I'm aware of anyone who has a problem with Minion not working properly on Nox. (If anyone does have an issue then they just need to Skype me.)

I have the same problem. I used to run 7 emulators, pokerstars & ggpoker with chrome & twitch open now I can barely play with 5 emulators. CPU usage skyrockets over 95%
Using a ryzen 3600 & 16GB ram

What devices can you play on without using an emulator?
I only have PC and Mac. I might have to get an Ipad if that works.
Playing on a cellphone is really awkward imo.
