I have been m.i.a for awhile and wanted to do a follow-up on my posting. First off, all of these degenerate gamblers (because poker is gambling -- anything with any type of luck involved is gambling) will always put up a tinpot argument about anyone claiming on-line poker is a SCAM or RIGGED is just a whiner and sore-loser and bad player. It is the same tired narrative offered by so many who ignore the litany of evidence of cheating, ghosting, colluding, absconding, etc. Anyone remember Full Tilt? Absolute Poker? Pokerstars? How about all of these shady on-line poker rooms that are all conveniently tucked away in 3rd world banana republics outside the jurisdiction of US law enforcement and regulators.
Here is the modus operandi for most Poker clubs on PokerBros. Agents always insist on sending funds v.i.a bitcoin, Cash App, PayPal, Zelle, etc. The first four depositing methods are no different than sending cash in the mail. Anyone can disappear into the dark with cryptocurrency. Anyone can create a fake Cash App, Venmo, PayPal, and/or any other similar service and either a) abscond with player funds altogether or 2) Run a Ponzi scheme (most likely scenario with most of these shady clubs) and payout certain players just to keep them hooked while referring others into the scheme.
These are facts:
1) There are bots on Pokerbros. Artificial intelligence has already proven capable of beating even the most advanced poker professionals in the world.
2) Collusion. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING anyone can show to demonstrate that collusion is being prevented. Collusion has and always will be apart of on-line poker and there is nothing that can be done to stop it.
3) The RNG is a joke. And all of these BS accreditation created inside of corrupt 3rd world banana republic does not prove that super-users do not exist that allow them to see player whole cards and rob players blind of their money.
Mike Postle and his conspirator stole almost half a million dollars in a live game at the Stone
casinos. Joey Ingrim (one of the most respected names in poker) even demonstrated how the cheating could be accomplished and how the cheating was most likely executed. That said, if this can happen inside of a brick & mortar poker room, then none of those who replied to this thread have a leg to stand on with using the rebuttal that those who make these claims are whiners and bad poker players.
4) I personally met an agent for a very large Pokerbros Poker club who not only gets kickbacks from new recruits, but also cheats those same recruits and other players by running multiple accounts. He was seated one night at at a live cash game with multiple devices cheating players in plain sight.
5) Most of these poker clubs always have zealous agents that preach these app to the masses because they are financially incentivized to do so. None of these "agents" are going to be going out of their way on social media and by word of mouth to obtain recruits for free. Is this a HUGE conspiracy? Yes. It is a conspiracy meant to quickly enrich those involved while throwing a few crumbs back to the masses for plausible deniability.
For every degenerate gambler jack-off who claims they have earned some money on these crooked
poker sites and poker applications none of them ever want to discuss the torrent of losers which are the majority.
I recently read a story about a man who was killed in a robbery only so his assailants could get away with petty cash and a cell phone. Does anyone really think that the invisible people running these Poker clubs on these applications are not pissing themselves laughing knowing how much money they are robbing from people, in addition to these individuals knowing that players have absolutely NO RECOURSE whatsoever to recover their money after they get scammed by dishonest agents, colluders, super-users, and an RNG that most likely has a backdoor built into it and that can be manipulated at will by those who have access to the source code....
On-line poker is one big SCAM! A scam that uses prominent poker names and flashy marketing and the promises of quick riches that are used to keep the charade going on until law enforcement shuts it down. I can't think of one on-line poker brand that hasn't been involved in criminal malfeasance.
Readers... do yourselves a favor and stay away from Pokerbros.
