Like both of these as well

I have registered late before, but I will not any longer because of this. It is a better alternative to just remove late registration all together than do this 10% bonus thing. Just my opinion, but I'm right of course.

If you've decided never to reg late again because of that tiny stack bonus then I don't think you realize how little it actually changes the game for someone who regularly late regs.

It would seem like a 9.09% loss in equity for registering late which is pretty significant, so why would I want to do that? Registering late is already worse than registering early, because you could have hopped in early and captured the easy money first.

That being said, I have enjoyed some of the new features that have been coming out. For instance, whenever I take a note on somebody there is a gray outline around their avatar which is nice. I don't have to remember the people I've left notes on already.

Great, let's discuss the tournaments and the structure here, instead of discussing the lawlessness of the network and real problems

Why would you want to late-reg since you will see less hands which decreases the edge of a good player? Why would you want to do that?

I'm not saying that it isn't a disadvantage to start with 10% less chips, but that the disadvantage that it puts you at is not as big as the disadvantage you put yourself at with the later you late-reg. If you're someone who regularly late-regs then the game isn't changing that much for you. You're still looking to get a +EV hand to push to double-up or take down the blinds. Sure, your double-up will amount to slightly less chip equity, but your strategy is not significantly altered and your position after the double-up will not be significantly different than it would have been had the early bird registrants not been given 10% more chips.


I'm here several days a week discussing a bunch of different topics. I've been banging the drum about the bot issue in this forum for years. I discussed your situation at great length with no benefit to myself to do so. Other topics about the network can be discussed here too.

Here's an idea for you to while you wait to hear back from the network...Go live stream and record yourself playing multiple, consecutive 20+ hour sessions on another network on Twitch, or another streaming site, for a week. It might help people here get behind your cause a little more.

So far, there is no real feedback from the network. All I know at the moment is that the reasons for my freezing according to the security service were, they are even afraid to say what exactly. Your idea is bad, because you don't take into account that I was ready to record my game on video after the first freeze for entering a quick captcha - I was told that this is not necessary. Playing in this mode brings losses - I showed my results, but if I am unfrozen - I will definitely write down how I win a weekly promotion for combinations and play several sessions for 20 hours, although at the moment I think there are absolutely no real charges from the network to me and I am just a formal victim

I also think people who are not on my side, after all that I wrote - these are people because of whom the network allows itself to create lawlessness

In this regard, a good example is that DivineofGlory, was going to leave the site because they increased the number of tables? although this person actually froze me and I lost $ 3,750, the network went to crime to satisfy such a public. My goal is to constantly support this topic and let everyone know about my story, if a person thinks a little - he will understand who is right and will know that in this network, such cynical and monstrous things are possible and you will not have any tools to prove your case

Briefly: I was frozen on January 15 for the first time for 15 hours (for quickly entering captcha lol) and unfrozen on a phone call, told that the video should not be recorded !. Paid money after this story (I was afraid to keep a lot) on January 23, blocked again, at the end of the action, the dates coincide with the activity on the forum. This can't be happening if the security service was working properly, but it didn't have any complaints about me before. I was removed from the leaderboard a day later, although the investigation was allegedly conducted until January 31. I was given access to sports and all the money - which in case of fraud is complete nonsense. On February 1, I was unblocked and notified by mail about this, after I raised the question of where my prizes were-I realized that the hype was not profitable and it was easier to freeze them permanently for fictitious reasons. Even on these public most superficial things-everything should be clear

[IMG][/IMG]
Here is in fact for me recognition fully fake investigations on-my account, Ah or how there all are arranged, that are possible even such basic monstrous mistakes and my account indeed was open for poker 1-2 February, until I not became demand their prizes

1. I left the site BEFORE they raised the amount of tables you can play. Get your facts straight.

2. I ACTUALLY wrote on the forum that IF you were innocent they should refund you all your winnings and prizes and unblock your account. If you'll recall you were surprised I said that. And thanked me. How quickly you forget!

3) I AM NOT the one who froze your account. I do not work for Chico Network, you genius.

4) Don't slander my name with things that are not true.

5) Funny that you are so petty you intentionally misspelled my screen name.

6) If you were smart you'd get in contact with Tiger Gaming from the Chico Network, IF you were innocent. Seeing as they most likely have staff members that speak Russian and English fluently. Since they market to R.O.W. countries for Chico Network. They could help you.

7) If you were intelligent enough you'd have signed up under an affiliate, when signing up for Chico Network. So you could have a representative for you that has direct contact with Chico Network management members. So they can help you with any issues that may ever arise during your time on the site. If you were innocent...

Good day.

I didn't want to offend you in any way, much less deliberately change your screen name. But you are just an illustration of people who look at things superficially and make loud statements. My theory at the moment is that the network doesn't want to fight bots and is willing to sacrifice players like me to reduce the degree of discontent.
I can't find any other logical explanation. Your mistake is that you continued to attack other participants knowing my story. You live under the illusion that there is a PokerStars service here, but the truth is very scary, but it can only be understood when you personally encounter problems. The only tool is a public discussion, in private conversations and through any representatives will be the answer - that you have not passed the security service check.

OK. Don't do it then. I don't really care either way. I was just trying to give you a suggestion to get more people on your side. Also, it would be something to do instead of coming to check the forum every day and writing the same thing over and over again, but feel free to keep doing that, if that's what you prefer.


I'm not sure anybody has stated outright that they are against you. The only thing I've said and seen others say recently is that your case should be properly investigated.

The network is a business which operates out of a country that requires little oversight about how they operate their business. People who play there have very little recourse to make them change anything if they don't want to.

That's bullshit and I think he properly addressed it. He doesn't make any of the decisions for the network. It was their call. If he didn't bring it up in the forum then somebody else would have.

I'm pretty sure most people who regularly read this forum are already aware of your story.

I've thought about it plenty. The only thing that would completely change my mind from skeptical to in your favor would be live streamed video of you doing the same with the proper camera setup.

I think most intelligent players are already aware that you should take extra precautions when playing on unregulated sites.

This is not a bulshit. This is the reason I was stripped of my achievements. My logic is on the surface-the network does not fight bots, there is a lot of negativity on the forum, there should be a reaction - I am the ideal candidate at the expense of which you can implement it all and create visibility. This is obvious, if you add up the two points on January 15, I was frozen for quickly entering captcha and thawed after 15 hours. I offered to immediately record the video - I was told exactly not to, and then paid the money. Therefore, there were no complaints to me on January 16 AFTER the INSPECTIONS. On January 23, exactly when the complaint was received and Mike wrote that he sent it, I was frozen again. It was enough to request from Mike for a rather superficial accusation of a person from the outside - that the network immediately froze the person who is fighting for iron man after it was already checked a week ago. This is either a super stupidity of the network, or the goal was a sacred sacrifice to continue to ignore the problem of bots, but to show some kind of feedback
And the fact that you have skepticism is normal, but even more skepticism should be caused by the action of the network. The only question is-this is an honest office that values its reputation or not, no one has any special illusions from previous experience, but my case is a scam and fake on their part
My biggest dream is a confrontation with the person who froze me-public- that's who the real fraudster is, who is also paid a salary for it

The bolded is complete bullshit. DivineGlory didn't actually do anything besides make a post. If you want to be mad at him because he made a post about your suspicious play schedule then that's your choice, but he didn't make the decision to suspend your account from being able to play. He doesn't get to determine who gets to play and who doesn't.

I'm only mad at the network - it's not even hatred anymore, but some kind of insanity. For good reason you cling to these unimportant things-please understand me-on January 15, I was already frozen and checked and paid money, and on January 23, because of this post (the details of which are nonsense) - I was frozen again and removed from the leaderboard a day later, although according to them, the investigation has just begun. At the same time, they paid me money that I won as a fraudster? Here are important things that require emphasis, everything is visible here, and the fact that the reason was a post on the forum is normal - but people who complain often do not have sufficient competence to satisfy them on demand. Question one - this is done from the stupidity of the security service and low qualifications or cynical calculation. Here I would be interested in an opinion on this? Let's discuss this, why do bots play freely and there are a huge number of them, and honest players of race leaders are frozen for a day and deprived of everything? how can this be?

It's either that they allow the bots or they are too incompetent to consistently do anything about them.

I've never ruled out the possibility that the reason for your ban was due to incompetence on their part when it came to the investigation of your play. I just don't have the access to the information about your play that they do to say one way or the other whether you were legitimately suspended for good reason or whether they did it to appease the complaints.

That's what it's about. If they can't identify the bots that each regular determines for an hour of playing with a new nickname-then how can they investigate something about me? this is ridiculous. At the same time, I will once again emphasize and guarantee that I did not violate anything, but at the same time their investigation led to the final freeze. If this was an honest check on their part - it should have been held in parallel and with the blocking of the withdrawal of money - they did the opposite, left the conclusion !?, but they froze the contender for the victory and said we will conduct an investigation for now, and let your rivals catch up with you and this was the SECOND TIME in 2 weeks and the first time there was a completely idiotic reason, but it could cost $ 1000.. Impossible haste and removal from the leaderboard, this is the key factor, the goal was to show the work. At the same time, I was given money to withdraw the rest and left access, and poker was opened and only on my indignation realized that it is easier to freeze and pretend that a fraudster.
The only question is-they will be honestly corrected once they have created a branch on this forum and are trying to demonstrate interest in honest business management and they have a desire or not and all this is a prop If not, then at least everyone will see the real situation. For example, the day before yesterday ( I was very surprised) there was a post with a lot of pluses on the Russian-language largest poker forum gipsyteam, where a third-party person wrote an article that these rake races and promotions have many pitfalls, and as an example - gave my case. And let's say this post will be read by thousands of Russian-speaking players - all Russian players will already know that Chico is absolutely unreliable and the more there is such a mess, the less traffic they will have until they fix it. Here's a post https://forum.gipsyteam.ru/index.php...0#entry6416267

I talked to onpooka on Skype. Here's another absurd example illustrative of the operation of the network. He has been in the freeze for 9-10 days and is being investigated, he was the leader in iron man at the time of the freeze, again more than 1/2 of the distance was passed and the account is frozen for INVESTIGATION AND DEPRIVED OF the opportunity to FIGHT. At the same time, throughout January and February, this player was constantly fighting for prizes and the security service was OBLIGED to check it by this time. It is checked for 10 days (although I am sure this is just done so that other competitors will overtake it), but it is not removed from the leaderboard. I was removed from the leaderboard in exactly the same situation in 2 days (because it was already impossible to catch up with me). It is checked for 10 days already, I was checked for 2 days and the key solution was to delete me. In the conversation between us, I did not find any intersections that I thought of as possible reasons for freezing (the flopzilla is installed on the computer)
Do we still think this network is working fairly? At the same time for all other complaints absolute inaction and ignore
Make a campaign for which the leader, which involves a huge effort-steadily freeze at the end and deprive everything-awesome prizes, great job
I just can't believe that nothing can be done about this lawlessness and they repeated this scheme

Here is another article on a large Russian-language resource about my history. It was in the headline of the mailing list for the week. I'm glad that my story gets the maximum publicity on its own, the more people know the better.
Continue to ignore, the reputation can only be saved by honest work and interaction, anyone can already see that my case requires a thorough check and dismissal of people involved in this ( I'm sure they will not even be able to explain their actions and show what and where I violated)

Dear BetonlineMike !

Can we have PLO boost tables in the future ? That can solve the bot problem at least on lower limits.

I don't there will be enough action for this to happen. Either that, or it will draw action away from the holdem boost tables and both will end up going dead.

Yes, but something must be done w the feofan pyropyro botring ...

Does anyone here use Parallels for Mac in order to use a HUD for Sportsbetting.ag? The poker site is not loading and I'm not sure what the problem is or what to do about it. In the process of contacting parallels. Please help thanks!

It's not parallels it's the card catcher which isn't working since the latest update.

Right. I use DriveHud and they just got back to me and said that. And of course no ETA for a fix. Online poker is the worst

Just wanted to say amazing update you guys!!!! I absolutely LOVE not being able to see my rank in a MTT at any given time! This is next level. No doubt it is ya'll best work to date. Keep it up! Oh I also love how you can be in 10 mtts and time bank will auto activate in 9 of the 10 but in that 10th one you have to manually activate it. Again next level you guys! Death to regs!!! Am I right?!?!
