Does anyone have a link to an official statement from pokerbros saying they're leaving NJ and Nevada? I can't find anything but random people saying it.

Yes, interested in if anyone can provide some more information on this. Maybe one of the vetted Agents who post in this thread?

They aren't vetted they are just paying a fee to advertise. Anyone could get that agent under title if they paid the price.

There are PB agents itt with long histories on 2p2 and good reputations -- even examples of going to sites (non apps) on players behalf and helping recover 5fig money on more than one occasion.

Whats that got to do with my statement? The poster above me thought these "agents" were vetted when they are just paid advertisers. Easy to make that mistake as it does look official.

We don't know that poster had the paid advertisers in mind. The reference could be to undertitled posters itt, or it could just be trusted agents that have been posting here.

In either case, it's worthwhile and beneficial to the community to point out that there are trusted 2p2 members who are also agents. In this sense, they've been vetted by the community.

As the poster who erroneously used the term “vetted”, I didn’t mean to start a semantics war. I do appreciate both sides of the discussion as there wasn’t a formal process to prove trustworthiness by the site, however it seems that reputations are considered and this thread isn’t overrun by all agents who paid a fee to the site.

Back to the issue at hand- can someone, potentially a knowledgable agent, weigh in on the non-vetted information that players in 5 states won’t be eligible to play on the app at some point in the very near future?

Latest news is that pokerbros will not be banning any states from playing. Also, as far as collusion is concerned. If you see something suspicious, you need to get a screenshot of user id numbers, the hand id in question, and also the table id. Report to your agent or the club owner. Without that info, it is basically pointless to report. In the post above, the closeness of the user id numbers is a pretty solid giveaway.

I've asked this question in several formats to the union and they've said they have not received any word of this being accurate. They believe it is not likely, at least imminently, due to not being told of such a major change.

At its core, pokerbros is a free app for anyone to play. I am not familiar with any statute in Nevada that would make it illegal to play play money poker with no chance of a material reward. That said, there are ways that AGs can almost create faux legislation by threatening to investigate X.

I guess we will know in another 48 hours if people can still play Friday morning.

To be clear, I'd have no surprise if either took place.

Here is a screenshot of a message that a union leader posted, which he confirmed to me that it was legit sent by PokerBROS: https://gyazo.com/46b33d199c54670c0699cbc7d6774fde

People can draw their own conclusions how much that poker agent tag means if someone like this guy can get it.

What is point of having auto time bank when while you have the bet box up and time is almost up it just all the sudden forces a check from you and doesn't allow the time bank to be activated. It's ****ing ridiculous and causes misclicks essentially all the time at least for me. How hard it is for them to fix this issue and allow the initial timebank to actually run out rather than just cutting off our decision with a few seconds left. Am I missing something here. It's tilting the **** out of me tbh.

My name is Dustin, and I am a long-time mid-high stakes poker player and coach.

I also work closely with many players from this thread.

If you have any questions, you can post them in this thread and I'll try to reply, or shoot me a message via PM or Telegram.

No idea if any of above is true, but if it is:

A) did he cover funds? If so, while you’re trying to discredit said person you’re actually endorsing him.

B) things happen. When the happen =40k lessons are usually learned. Bitcoin seems best?

C) been on this forum for over 15 years. My instincts tell me there is a vetting process being done. I know Mason knows one of the agents ITT personally, fwiw.

On the topic of agents. They have been operating with offshore books to allow syndicates to bet offshore for quite a while now so this isn’t something new. Use common sense, limit your overall exposure and you should be fine.

The scam was in bitcoin to the value of approx €40k

What happened is Dustins skype account hard vouched for a trade of €40k. When the trade went south and the hard vouch was called upon he claimed his skype account was hacked and he wasn't in control of the account. So the scammer walks away with €40k dustin loses nothing and the victim is €40k light.

Not long after that the scammer/hacker approaches someone else and gives this sales pitch.

https://gyazo.com/1b35027c1d6fd4c1385a1a19298fbc54

No one can say with 100% certainty if Dustins skype account was hacked or not make up your own mind.

The above poster is alluding to a situation which happened years ago, and is blatantly lying about what happened, and also leaving out important details. Yes my Skype account was hacked, which was as close to 100% confirmed as possible by a moderator, to whom I gave complete control of my PC over TeamViewer to verify certain details regarding the hack. It was then used to get others to post hard vouches in the chat; it was not my account that hard vouched.

Without getting into details, it's far from true that I "lost nothing" from that hack. After doing some investigating, I found out with a relatively high degree of certainty who the hacker was/is, but no one seemed to want to cooperate.

That whole situation (again, years ago) is in no way relevant to my 'legitimacy' as an agent, and if anything has improved my security on all platforms. I'm not sure who this troll is but it's sad to see this thread derailed like this.

I just played a session where people were calling me based on my icon. They said if it showed a cold they would call and a hot they would fold. Any way they can just remove those icons? He called me with total garbage and when I asked why - he said it was because my icon was cold LOL. He said usually when you're cold you can't win a hand. WTF - any one else do that?

Also on my cold table I don't think I won a hand for 100 hands. Seems pretty unrealistic, I lost 8 buy ins today.

I didn't lie i may of got a few things mixed up as it was a few years ago but the basis of the details are correct. If i had created a throwaway account to share these details you may have a case for calling me a troll but i haven't and im not we both know its true.

Well maybe they should have an EV graph and hud too. Those arn't really good for the game but by the logic you just said it should be fine because its more information.
