Are you an honest poker player?

#1 February 2nd, 2019, 12:30 AM

If you had a chance to set up an online poker site that would make you thousands of dollars a week would you take it? So you can then change it to make you hundreds of thousands a week, would you do it? After a while you could change it to make you a million dollars a week but it wasn't quite honest but there was no chance of being caught. Would you do it? So online poker sites are owned by poker players that had the same questions put before them. WHAT DID THEY DO?

I believe they went for the million dollars a week. What are your thoughts?

#2 February 2nd, 2019, 12:56 AM

Naw, Not me. I gotta be honest. Nothing is worth not being so. Money is not what life's about. Having Loved ones and being able to share life with them is what life is about.

#3 February 2nd, 2019, 1:07 AM

Am I an honest poker player>??? Occasionally. Absolutely!

Is this an honest question?

#4 February 2nd, 2019, 3:33 AM

i always tell the truth,,,even when i lie. Are you an honest poker player?

#5 February 2nd, 2019, 5:34 AM

Of course I�m honest.I hate dishonest people.

#6 February 2nd, 2019, 8:57 AM

if I had such an opportunity, I would try to be honest, players also need to win and raise bankrolls, I would do so that I would come to the poker room a small percentage of about hundreds of thousands a month and enough to pay for the work of the staff, and take small percentages of tournaments and I would try to ensure that players win and are satisfied with the game of tournaments or cash tables or bonuses that they get!

#7 February 2nd, 2019, 1:24 PM

I believe that any business must be honest with its customers. If a company is cheating on its customers, then it has no future.

#8 February 2nd, 2019, 3:43 PM

When it comes to satisfying gamblers, what really is considered honest? All the sites have done is change poker into a variant of the slot machine. Most poker players can't seem to tell the difference and keep playing. So what's the problem? There's a business model that works and thousands upon thousands of happy customers, most of which are content with losing their money.

#9 February 2nd, 2019, 4:12 PM

I believe cheaters never win one day being dis honest will find you. If it was my business it would be an honest one for sure.:0)

#10 February 2nd, 2019, 4:24 PM

To me online poker is like a new poker player setting at a table of experienced poker players. They don't know about fingernail marking, dealing seconds, stacking decks. They think they stand a chance to win! Online poker makes me feel like I'm that new player at the table. Only thing is I have been playing for 50 years!!!!!

Then IMHO you should be evaluating why you continue to play online and what your long term strategy is as it relates to online poker.

If I had another hobby I could do in bed then I wouldn't give online poker any time at all but I need something to keep me busy since I spend most of my time in bed due to a back injury. As far as a strategy I don't think there is one that will work online. Ive been trying to figure one that works for 15 years!

Sports betting is pretty fun. Check it out.

#14 February 2nd, 2019, 5:10 PM

This question is a paradox because a liar would say he or she is honest. The popular poker rooms that still exist can be trusted. If that wasn't the case, poker pro's would've picked up on it and screamed from the top of their lungs.

#15 February 2nd, 2019, 5:31 PM

not a lot of honest pp about lol

#16 February 2nd, 2019, 6:01 PM

When the nuts are in my hand, I'm hyper honest! Although poker is actually not a game about honesty. This is its main essence. Is not it so?

#17 February 2nd, 2019, 6:24 PM

I think u have to be honest if u r setting up an online poker site because in the end players will begin complaining if a site is being dishonest. Someway it will bite you if you are dishonest.

Well, that's why you would just hang out in Gibraltar or Cayman Islands. Oh wait..

#19 February 2nd, 2019, 7:00 PM

yeah I think I am
if ur saying not telling a lie of course
if I lose big maybe I'm not sharing it to anyone, but if I win I tell everybody

#20 February 2nd, 2019, 7:05 PM

What a question, cheaters are arround you everywhere...and does the online poker runs honest people

#21 February 2nd, 2019, 7:28 PM

as honest as you can be...

#22 February 3rd, 2019, 10:18 PM

The question before you is if you had an online poker site would you be honest or be dishonest and make much more?

And here is a guy who honestly doesn't have a CLUE about how to play poker. To some of you who are very new to the game, he might try to convince you that you're not actually playing poker but the thing is, this guy doesn't even know how to play poker and wouldn't even be able to tell a good player from a bad one. If I could click on 'dislike' after his posts, I'd be doing so after just about every single one. Almost all of them have a common theme.... he's professing the sites are rigged. LMAO

#24 February 4th, 2019, 9:23 AM

I would choose an honest way. Life is too short to cheat. Karma says that the good done returns to us, made evil also.

#25 February 4th, 2019, 9:37 AM

Best thing about this world is to be honest no one is successful with fraud so sooner or later you will be hvanat.Ako honest and offer good game of clients you win their trust and your account will swell so it's definitely worth it. Are you an honest poker player?

Every site I have played on has been legit. You can't be successful as site operator otherwise. Every hand is available to veiw. People run programs to try to discredit online poker. That is how they uncovered UB back in the day.

You can truly benifit from a forum like this if you take a much more positive approach to the game. Playing for 50 years and making comments like the ones you have here is pathetic. How about learning the game from people who played for many years online and have been profitable instead of blaming everything else. Just some honest advice for you.

#27 February 4th, 2019, 9:57 PM

If you get in a real position of power who knows what you might do, especially when pushing small margins means a lot of profit with large playerbases.

I would "honestly" make as much money as I can.

I have been playing for 15 years online and haven't lost but won. I don't know where you say my saying I feel like im the new player at the table is

pathetic. Pease explain yourself.

Hahaha I don't need to convince anyone. I always say play and see for yourself. Check out my challenge thread in the Bad Beats and Vents section. I lay out my ideas for everyone to test on their own. Then when I win with bad hands and lose with good hands and over 90+% equity, some guy with a broken liver calls me a bad player.

What the basis for this thread? What was the intention of the thread I replied on? There is you're explanation.

#31 February 4th, 2019, 11:30 PM

Yea, there is usually several payout positions. Keep it clean.

#32 February 4th, 2019, 11:31 PM

It is a hard decision I guess I would like to think I wouldn't do it but we never know money is really poweful and I guess I could never know if I would do it until get the moment as I said I would like to think that I wouldn't. I think that my thoughts and my belief no allowed me to do that I'm right now I say that I'm not gonna do it even if there is no chance to get cough I guess I prefer be honest and hard work for what I want and know that that is mine cause' I worked for it. I think money does not make you happy if you know deep inside that you did not earn it.

The basis for this thread is the question I ask. I am and old poker player wise to the world of poker. I was a regular player in Odessa Texas with Johnny Moss when I was 17 years old and lived in an apartment complex owned by him. I played when I would save up enough money to buy in. When they played downtown at the Inn of the Golden West I usually didn't have the buy in but they let me watch. I learned from the best in the world. I am a winning poker player for all my years. So when you call someone out you should know who and what your talking about. You don't have a clue who your talking to.

I also helped Doyle Brunson build up Doylesroom before he sold it.

I would keep it honest because in the long run think I would make millions over time

I have a feeling that those who will be the scapegoats are already padding their off-shore bank accounts for that bad day and chances are that they will become very scarce to find, if they are even sought at all on these islands. I mean come on - what law are they breaking? Even if it is rigged? They call online poker a poker experience. Nowhere do they claim that it is completely random.

#37 February 5th, 2019, 12:22 AM

It's all about making the benjamins. Can you do it without screwing people over? I would like to think so but in the game of poker someone is always going to get screwed. So no matter how honest you are, people are still going to claim it's rigged rather that accept their lack of a skill set in online poker.

Really wasn�t looking for a poker resume but it looks like some of the post you made, were tongue and cheek. When you start a thread and mention site owners, dishonesty and million dollars it doesn�t place online poker in a positive light. You alluded to maybe not having some favorable out comes. Those are what prompted my reply. More to the fact, don�t place blame on a poker site for failures at the table but change it with results.

There are plenty of threads started that are quick to point fingers at the sites with all kinds of conspiracy theories that brings out all the rigtards, to protest in an effort to feel better about their failures. If that was not the intent (couldn�t be that far from it), then perhaps my comments was a tad harsh. Most players find a fair amount of success with some making a living at it. Then you have those on the other side that will look for any excuse besides looking in the mirror. If I put you the wrong category, my bad.

#39 February 5th, 2019, 9:57 PM

Always remain honest. Don't sell your integrity over a game behind money. There is alot of negative energy around poker players. Makes it very hard for the new wave to be excited about poker.

I think you'd have to at least be fair. If you look back the poker sites that tested that theory aren't around anymore. So you might get some quick cash by slacking but I think for longevity running good security, giving quick payouts, and having superior software will always win out. I don't know if that's got more to do with being honest or being a good business person.

better honestly get yours. anyway, everyone will find out the truth

Is this an honest question?

my response to this, is i play for entertainment. I really dont need the money, believe me when i say ihave lost a lot, i just love to play.
when somebody loses connection and loses a pot i would return it if i could.

#43 April 28th, 2020, 8:55 PM

You my friend, are awake. good luck finding anyone else on this site who is.
most people here, are to stupid to even investigate who owns the site's that they play on.

Did you know that the owner of the winning poker network WPN for ACR and Black Chip is the same man who owns the US Military of defense?
so you can trust that right? hahaha...
it's not like ACR has ever been caught and had to refund people either right?
https://www.beatthefish.com/acr-conf...ating-refunds/

I won a MDS (Million Dollar Sunday) seat in 2018 on ACR they didn't give it to me, they said they had to record of it, later I won a second Ticket for a seat worth $265.00 and got to play it, but the funny thing about it is this, everyone but 1 person sat out the entire time I played. I played for over an hr, and only seen 1 playable hand. I folded and folded hands like 23 43 53 52 62 82 93 J2 and so on, and every time I folded 90% of the time the other player showed me his cards. QQ AK AA KK A 10 KJ AJ. I folded until I was down to 1 and a half BB, the first time I got a Face card in over 33 minutes, I get K3 of coarse I get called by KQ and lose.
that was in 2018, but you can bet your last dollar, they didn't offer me anything for that game. can you even imagine how many hands I must have seen with everyone folding just as fast as the cards are being dealt?
Remember, you see way more hands online, than you do live, I bet I was folding 8 to 10 hands a minute for over an hr. without a single playable hand, and only ever seeing 4 and I did count them, 4 face cards in an hr until first break.

#44 April 29th, 2020, 8:05 PM

I gotta be honest. Nothing is worth not being so. Money is not what life's about.

#45 April 29th, 2020, 9:03 PM

I think there may be some that did just that. Thall shall not steal. I would simply just make it a great site and keep it honest.

#46 April 29th, 2020, 9:09 PM

It is hard to know what I would do if I was faced with a no-consequence million dollars but I would hope if it wasn’t honest that I could say no but it would be hard. Also I don’t know enough about how poker sites are run to tell you if they are fair or not lol.

I like the way you structured this idea.

Every once in a while you find a number. For me I realized for where I was living at the time, I could be insanely happy with $60,000 a year. Double or triple it and id already feel like im becoming a have and shitting on have nots.

Also if you have enough love for the game you'd want to keep it fair and just spread the joy and chance to play and connect.

Never know till you got the finger on the button though.
