hi guys -

i'm probably quite late to the party - i've been working with pokerbros for a few years (as a player and an agent) and for some reason never found this thread.

anyway, if you have questions/issues or if you're looking around for a place to play or an agent to work with, feel free to drop me a line.

thanks, and good luck at the tables!

Hey BigBadBabar,

Tried to contact you on your site but the submit button didn't work for some reason. Wanted to know if limit holdem runs at all on PokerBros (or any other club for that matter)? Thanks!

What's the best way to verify if an agent is legit?

hey there - thanks for the heads up! i'll look into it.

the main place for LHE would be ignition/bovada. it also runs occasionally on ACR Poker and occasionally on KingsClubPkr.

for apps: I see people sitting hu sometimes on pokerbros, but I haven't seen any games running. I know of one or two smaller clubs that run like a 2/4 limit once a week kind of thing, but that's about it.

research them!

-this could be talking to them, asking questions, and seeing if you get a good vibe and if things pass the smell test

-asking to talk to some of the agent's current/past players

-looking the agent up on 2+2/social media/internet

-asking them to get vouches or references from some good-reputation poker peeps that you both know in common

-ask in this thread (or somewhere else) for people to post any experiences with/feedback on the agent

and there are probably some other ways i can't think of right now

Ive done a lot of business with BBB, although not recently but overall and hes about as legit as they come. Hes a mod on here which I doubt theyd let a scumbag be and if anyone had bad biz with him Im assuming theyd remove him haha

just like any other service, check his social media, credentials, people that he worked in the past etc

Ask for references.

But the best way to find a legit agent is find someone who is already respected in the poker community who works w/ agents, and work w/ the sites and agents they recommend.

Is it normal procedure for an agent to wait for a security report after hitting a BBJ on your table ? Over the last few years playing on Pokerbros, I won BBJ twice and was dealt a hand where others players hit it maybe 3-4 times over the last years and I had no problem withdrawing it. Now I am being told I must wait a couple of days for the security report. I am kinda confused tbh. I mean why, it's a BBJ... ? Because I used 5-6 different agents over the last years and always no problem for withdrawing after BBJ. But small agent size obv when hitting BBJ, only 2 agents and they never talked about security report and having to wait a couple of days for withdrawing. Is it normal procedure? Asking people here who knows about agent stuffs..

Yes, every JP is investigated by security. Last time you hit the procedure might not have been in place, but it is now.

Last time was 1 year ago. But ok, good to know. Thanks for answering fast, really appreciate it!

is there any site tracking winners/losers on this app?

Definitely chat with the agent and see if you have a good vibe and gut feeling with them. There is plenty of trust needed to work with an agent and in apps
And to be fair it does get broken if your gut is wrong or unluckiness, I guess it is the problem with the Internet and the fact that some agents work in countries where poker is illegal, so things can get weird if they are getting prosecuted or something.

Happened with me multiple times, so don't hand over money you are not willing to loose. And withdraw when you can, to at least get a feel on how they work as agents and people.

But if you find an agent that seems legit, build trust with them over time. And as mentioned don't play with what u can't loose. Both for gambling and handing mover to an agent

On a side note, I just became an agent myself because I enjoy the game and want make a safe space for players on the app and myself included.

So hit me up if ur interested checking out pokerbros and need an agent

Looking for a new agent for Diamond union, please PM! My agent is stepping away from poker altogether and I'm looking for a new one (high pref. for someone with good rep around here). Mainly low-stakes NL/PLO, mixed volume.
