You don't have to delete the software, you can also send a PM to the Site Rep with your screen name and ask if they can put you on rakeback.

Thank you!
In this post, your quoted two of my posts. In one of them I said the following:

"ACR seems to be systematically pricing out anyone who wants to play with a bankroll under $100".

I only mentioned the structure of MTTs and SNG, so your response about cash games isn't relevant. I also said that satellites aren't a good option for someone starting out with a small bankroll, as yours all have unlmited rebuys.

I stand by my statement, with a slight amendment. Your are in fact systematically pricing out many beginning tournament players.

The 50 cent satellites to which you referred have unlmited rebuys. Most new players have no clue that strategy for a satellite is much different than SNG or MTT. They also don't understand some of the consequences of rebuying halfway through a tournament, for example, that they will be playing a starting stack against a lot of much larger stacks.

I understand that poker is a caveat emptor game. As the saying goes, "You pays your money and takes your chances." But having unlimited rebuy turbo satellites as the only option for someone with less than $100 is going to either send many players looking for another site, or burning through their money in a week or two on ACR, never to return. A very few will have a chance to build a bankroll, keep playing, and contribute to the poker economy.

I had no idea what I was doing when I first signed on to a poker site. I didn't know anyone that played poker. I just saw it on TV and thought that I could be good at it. I started playing $1 SNGs with a very slow structure and lots of play (as your regular $1 SNGs had) and it took me 3 months to lose my $50 deposit, which was a lot of money to me at the time. By then I was starting to figure things out, and I decided it was worth another precious $50 to give it another try.

With the options currently available to someone starting with between $50 and $100, you are setting up for failure players who are like I was when I started.

How about some Heads Up Multi-Table Tournaments? Like a 20-50 dollar buyin with a 4k guarantee. I think these could be very popular and would be really fun for HU players.

The software is still there. Anyone else had this problem?
It's like that for everyone, you have to manually uninstall it yourself.

It should be hard to win money of someone that's 30 tabling.

His skill level is irrelevant if he is cheating to achieve that volume and steal the rake race top spot every month.

Is it possible GriftOfGrab is Russ Hamilton and Russ Hamilton's houseguests?

When Russ Hamilton was busted for stealing millions from poker players at the now defunct Cereus, he claimed it must have been his houseguests that did it and he knew nothing of it. ROTFLOL

As best as I can tell, GriftOfGrab is able to outskill the low stakes he now plays, 10/25 cent and above. So I am not actually accusing him of being the Russ Hamilton Crew. But it's a bit discouraging to see a player at 20 tables and doubled up or better at most of them.

Please stop derailing this thread with idiocy people. Its one thing to question whether someone is sharing an account but the noobie posts screaming foul just because the guy beat you in a hand culminated by the above completely standard hand posted apparently to collaborate a nonsensical rigtard post and another gem somehow relating this to Russ Hamilton is getting stupid.

lol shut up, my 4b is 1% and you call my 4bet with a PP given 8:1 implied ( before rake) and spikes a set on flop... Its also funny how you are at 30bb/100 playing your horrible 12/9 in 6max. If I were stupid I would assume you cut a deal with WPN to give you a better flopset%

Just quit posting really. Take this **** to bbv. No one really cares if someone flopped a set against you.
