No I don’t...

I mean 1) you can play with your own accounts on the same table 2+ and 2) friends will collude if not you.

When I played I noticed minimum 50% of the time every table was suspect with 2 colluders. Whether or not it was the same person or just friends, almost every table had people tag teaming others. It was more common in 5/6 card PLO than anything else. But it’s far easier just doing it by yourself than talking out loud to a buddy.

He's been professional throughout. Before anyone says I'm a losing player so getting preferential treatment (I was likely break even ish on Diamond--I hate game selection etc.) I played fewer than 10k hands and explained my situation before (was winning in other clubs/limited to 2 tables so wanted to play more) so I don't think that's what's going on here but take from that what you will. Also I did not read this thread at all, just wanted to comment on my own experience when I saw Halperin's name itt.
I'll tell you like I told the club owner. Halprin was an A+ agent. He always paid me quick, flawless easy transactions, we even developed somewhat of a friendly rapport as we both recently had newborns. He gave great rb and weekly reports. Everything was perfect until he made an inexcusable mistake of seizing my money.

Again I haven't read the thread yet and like I said, am not commenting on that. I'm not a shill by any means, just giving my personal experience that may be different from others.

If you have any suspicion of collusion in Diamond, Pana, or POD unions please send me screenshots and I'll have it looked into. There are people who will attempt to cheat like with any online poker but we have a very good team that is very good at identifying collusion.

Thanks for the kind words. I do everything I can to provide the highest quality and most transparent service. The disconnect is that Riley is either looking at it just from his perspective or that he doesn't agree with our perspective. Our perspective is that he referred his "friend and his cousin". The cousin charged back his deposits after losing so we temporarily took the funds of all the people that we saw directly connected to him based on the information we had. I was under the impression they were all friends given how I was introduced. The scammer even said to me, "My buddy Riley sent me your info." I would do the same thing over again. Perhaps someone might not agree with the line of cautionary thinking I used that just because one person steals their friends are more likely to as well. Which is true but charge backs are all too common in this business and like I said before its much easier to give the funds back after a review than risk losing more money. Ive had several scammers like this and despite that all of my players get paid in a very timely manner. Just being careful as to minimize it best I can. I think its a testament to Riley, myself, and Little Giants as a whole that the funds were returned in less then 24 hours.

The guy who complained got paid within hours.

Put yourself in Halperin’s shoes....just got took for 1500 and is potentially on hook for more....he perhaps acted hastily but I don’t think this should be a permanent mark on him, provided he learnt something from this.

Appreciate that. Going forward will certainly be vetting any referrals more thoroughly and establishing if there is a hard vouch or not. Also scaling back the deposit methods.

You can use them in the Lucky Draw Spin game on the main Pokerbros page for extra spins. You can win diamonds, time banks, emojis, and rabbit hunts.

This include diamond and panamerica? Spoke with 4 different agents that i trust and they all offer the same thing 20%. Should i stick with the 20% offer or look elsewhere?

20% is a major rip off, 30% is the bare minimum, the standard should be 40% since i believe agents get like 50% of ur rake

This.
Agents can get 50%, and if they get turned down for 50... they can bring their pipeline to another club same union and get 50.

As a player ask for 40 first.

I used to think this as well but it really depends on what volume and stakes you play. If your a micro stakes player getting 40% with a trustworthy agent consider yourself lucky because he’s making next to nothing.

It’s free money. Making next to nothing for barely doing anything.

Should be zero complaints from any agents or owners . It’s free money. It’s a cash grab. If you were lucky enough to start a club or be an early agent, you hit the lotto.

I guess it should be easy to find then. I wonder why he hasn't received an offer over 20. There is risk and work involved. Granted not a ton but the reward is also small.

He hasn’t received an offer over 20 because they are greedy pricks. Also if the industry as a whole agrees to bottom line at a certain # then you would be screwed. But since people want to steal players left and right and make their own $ it should be more aggressive.

I’m sure if he tells them he gets X from Y, they’ll match or beat it.

Don’t settle for 20. **** the owners and agents. Ask for 40

Key words: “agents that I trust”

Get a scaled deal, 20-35 seems reasonable for both sides. Keep track of your rake generated amount and use that for future leverage. You’re not locked into any deal and if you’re playing low on a part time schedule the difference between 20% and 35% weekly is probably the price of a large Starbucks.

Guys like you are the first guys who come begging if anything goes wrong[Pokerbros] Discussion thread[Pokerbros] Discussion thread[Pokerbros] Discussion thread "please please mister agent can you get my money back. Is there nothing you can do?"

It's funny how players expect agents to basically work for free bc they do "nothing" but if 10k roll gets frozen they should definitely guarantee and pay out of their own pocket because why not, amirite?!
