New bad-beat-free poker site!

Watching the first events of the wsop I notided this bizarre patch worn by an experienced player.





I have started to focus primarily on it and thanks to a close-up I later found out what it was. At that point I stopped watching the event and rushed to investigate, intrigued by the exeptional slogan "Don't get screwed by the river".
Browsing the internet I came up with a shocking discovery!
Apparently a new revolutionary bad-beat-free poker site is about to be launched on the web!
Here is a quote on their website that basically represents the differnet way they plan to approach the game of poker:
"Deliverance Poker was born on the felt of every table around the globe that sees cards turn. Time after time, day after day, high stakes or home game, tournament or cash, excellent poker players, “get screwed on the river”. Our goal is to decrease bad beats on the river or on Fifth Street as poker enthusiasts come together for an exhilarating experience and engage in the most user-friendly, interactive, and competitive online gaming site. So, if you’re ready for the adventure of a lifetime and a pure adrenaline rush…buckle up! It’s time to take a wild ride down the river of success that is Deliverance Poker".

For what I understand, basically they are tring to have a poker site that takes bad beats out of the equation, so in some way they are either going to give a part of the pot to whoever was ahead at the time the money went in, or they are going to give some kind of equity because a player was ahead so doesn't get unfairly punished and lose the entire pot given that he was the favorite at the time the money went in.

Ya, they talked about that on 2+2 pokercast this week. IMO bad beats are part of poker, and taking it away from the game, well its like watching a fotball game without any goals.

I heard it on 2+2 as well. I have no idea what they plan on doing but it sounds ludicrous to me.

Bizarre idea.

So if I get it in as a 65/35 favorite on the turn and get sucked out on the river, I get some of the pot because I was ahead on the turn?

If I get it in as a 35/65 dog on the turn and lose the hand, do I get some of the pot because I had 35% equity on the turn? Is it any less fair for me to get some of the pot w better than 0% equity?

This site won't last. That's nice that they're trying something new.. but this is a dumb idea, imo. As Bridge said, bad beats are a part of the poker game. It helps the bad players thinking they're good, and coming back for more.

just another scam, hope u people don't deposit on that site.

Sigh. Wheres WV.. He'll set em str8. Lol.. Didnt even read this Iam gonna honestly admit. But once theres responses to how it works Iam assuming its crappolla unless others tell me otherwise.

What crap...there goes bluffs

although this would be nice alot of the time, its not really poker. its kind of like when we were kids and "everybody was a winner". good luck comes and goes but statistically it should happen to everybody just about equally. its unfair to the better players who arent going to have them selves in a position so often to deliver a bad beat.

Surely theoretically it's in favour of the better players, as they are going in ahead more often and therefore are beaten by bad beats more often too?

The concept of this site is interesting, but wouldnt eliminating bad beats create bad beats too. It is impossible to create a working poker game like this. People need to realize that bad beats are a part of poker. The founder of this site clearly lost too much and couldnt handle it.

i wnt play on that site ever, i bluff 2 much lmao......joke

Hummmm I don't know why but this smells fishy, maybe it is rigged...
Maybe you get the bad beat BEFORE the river so it wouldn't count lol
Besides, like it or not bad beats are a part of poker everyone has also benefited in some way sometime of a bad beat, myself included.

At least all the people that think FullTilt is rigged can go play on a rigged site now lol, well I don't know if its rigged, but if its taking bad beats out, then what else would it be lol

DeliRiggeness Poker: Other sites may or may not be rigged... no BS, we ARE rigged!

I don't think FTP is rigged, but I do think pokerstars "might" be rigged.
That's why I moved to ftp, I don't find as many bad beats as I did on pokerstars...

But this new site...? I don't know... It sounds too good to be true without a tricky part....

If CC played on there...... how would Joe ever win? (no more pennies sent to my Stars acc't either... ).
So if all sites were like this, I'd be winning all the time?? (can't recall getting it in bad).
Shaun Deeb states (in MTT play).. "if you're not getting it in bad... you're not getting it in enough!"

I'd wager that people will sign up & play a bit on this site. Whiners for sure, & others just to check out the novelty of it.

stupid idea/cool logo

sounds really silly and impossible to pull off

i think its just a gimmick to get some interest (which has worked) and hopefully more signups

just my 2c

If you can use all your Slansky bucks here, what the hell you gonna use in poker heaven?

If you owned PS or FTP would you be thinking of ways to make it rigged? Think about it.

Ha ha ha. Well put

sounds like a fail just waiting to happen, that would screw around with the pots too much and i feel that you simply cant take that aspect away from poker, it's just part of the game

Bingo.

It is a bad idea because it tinkers with the very reason poker works in the first place.

I'll pass. This is not real poker and I agree-they'll be gone soon.
