But **** you for trying, we are rich pros and we will seize your funds so that we can get more money and rid our site of good players so our friends can eat at a fish buffet.
Nope, its ****ed there.
It's important to remember these are individuals looking for lucrative investment opportunities- personal and financial.
YES, the decisions GGpoker is making/have made to achieve "a healthy and safe poker ecology" is, ironically,
unethical to poker enthusiasts. BUT in terms of the direction GGpoker is heading
(player volume not volume played) and the moment they're currently gathering, it should be no surprise as to how little remorse these "pro's" or GGpoker will show for a
small percentage of the player base that the majority of players won't achieve anyway...

I guarantee you a rational person would rationalise a good reason to play at the casino...
