I'm not too familiar with the pokerbros layout but usually tables are closed for 2 reasons.

A. Significant play has made it clear how much rake has been taken. On PPP you can count the rake by calculating the difference between winners and losers.

B. The table simply timed out due to mismanagement.


b is much more likely if the table is running, alternatively if the club is very small and a whale was winning they might have closed the table to save his life. That's also a very slim chance though.

I screen shooted both but no clue how to post them.
A. You need to frame the question better.
B. Yes.
C. They don't have daily themes for various types of hands.
D. People know what a straight flush looks like.

Has anyone had good experiences with poker bros? Just spoke to someone who's offering free mtt ticket with deposit. Played with this agent before, also offering rake back. I assume every agent is offering the same stuff?

I can let you know how my experience is. Spoke to someone today who's an agent and offering all sorts of bonuses.

If anyone has more details on this sort of stuff I’d love to hear it. Just started on app and am worried about getting banned for winning. Who does the banning? Club manager? Agent? Union? I know roi is how it’s “tracked” on the app, how high is too high of a percentage? Any other tips would be cool. It’s nice to hear that at least people have gotten paid in these situations.

Nice the amount of huge pots I create after flopping the nuts turning the nuts then losing to lightening strikes. 35% rb would be nice.
Im getting 20% but from what I'm told they normally don't offer rb because it entices the players to shop around for a better deal and this is a club in the biggest union.

Sometimes though you run so damn bad you need to step away for a bit. I swear I'm assigned a time to run like a God. Then lose it the next day lol.

Yeah it definitely helps a lot. I've generated much more rake than I thought I would.

I may be wrong but I was under the impression the winner of the pot pays the rake. So you wouldn’t be getting back 35% on those pots. Someone please correct me if that’s not right.

As far as their reasoning for not normally offering rakeback, seems bass ackward to me. Not offering anything would entice me to shop even more. That union is so big because there are so many clubs and players, all signed up by so many agents. You can probably find another agent for the same club. I have no idea if a club would care about switching agents, but you could create a new login and idk how they’d know. Not like you’re sending these guys a copy of your ID.

Reading comprehension is tough early in the morning,.i get it. I know how rake is paid, I was referring to it would be nice to have more rake to make up for big pots i lose.

I don't think you are right.

There's a good explanation about who is deemed to have paid the rake, and how much rakeback a player can expect to receive, at https://professionalrakeback.com/onl...ies-explained/.

I am new on PokerBros and was looking to purchase DriveHud. I was wondering if it was worth it when everyone can constantly change their alias? This will obv make it difficult to get a decent sample when a lot of players will change their screen name often. I guess some stats are always better than none but I was just wondering what some thoughts were from people on this? Thanks!

I'm playing on pokernow.club and Donkhouse with friends and venmo. No rake. I'm down to try PB as it seems to be booming. Are there any of the larger clubs on PBros that you guys have good experience with?

Most likely players are identified by their ID, not their screennames. In which case, changing screennames wouldn't affect their HUD stats.

PokerBros is poker.

There are either a lot of idiots playing or some clubs are just giving away money and people are using it like play money. On the Panamerican Union, they have two $1k freerolls per day. I'm thinking "why would they give away $2k a day?" They are hyperturbos and your starting stack is <10 BB within 10 minutes. Then there are people who do rebuys and addons. $2 each. Usually when you are rebuying you are down like only a few BBs left. I've seen people rebuy for $2 for 2k chips when the BB is 1.2k. They do make some money back on rebuys/addons, but usually only ~$500 per tourney. There was one guy in today's tourney that rebought 6 times ($12) and didn't cash at all. Even if you do cash, you need to be top 1% (top 40 of 4000) to make anything more than that $2 back. Is he just dumb or is he getting free money from his club that he uses like play money?

$2 is not a big deal for a lot of people.

Freerolls get money deposited into the club, you might not understand this but they also lose money giving away free samples of ice cream.

I would argue in favor of the bolded. Fun little anecdote, when I turned 21 and went to play a $50 tourney at my local casino there was a guy who made so many rebuys that he could have shipped the whole thing w/out making a deal and would still be down money. Some people just love the gamboooool
