For the same reason most people do not like discussing their salaries with others. It's a private matter. In this case it has an extra dimension of peoples authorities not always being on good terms with poker law and tax-wise. As a railer I like it, as players you need to think about what is good for yourself.

PTR is good in the fact that people (coaches) can't misrepresent themselves but it's bad because people can bumhunt with precision + salaries are posted online.

I remember before PTR everyone claimed to be a 5 ptbb/100 winner and now it's revealed that is very rare

in sweden you have to pay 30% per hand played (won/lost)

30% per hand lost? WDF? What kind of legislation is that? If your business makes a loss they tax you on how much you have lost?

yes i live in a country where poker is not regulated, ill grow old before someone from goverment will discover this site + there are no names so wtf?

and c'mon, like ppl cant estimate how many $ good reg on particular stakes can win

and i belive no fish use that ( cause why? lol to see how much he lost? ), so being a reg ( as all we are here ) this site is great

the only bad thing i can see is fish seeing he lost so much and he starts controling himself, but how many really can do that?


i'd say the much bigger problem is regs berating fish and i see that all the time and most other regs dont react and dont side with the fish, maybe we should talk about that? instead you ppl berate on a site that enables us to earn more money



also, some ppl cant keep their mouth shut and have to brag about their nicknames and stakes they just started to play and then: omg they all can see how much i earn and where i play

lol

only applies to non eu sites tho

Dont care either way tbh, now you cant tell when someone is on a downswing but since its a leveled playing field its ok.

thank god.

Hope it's never coming back up

dont care, as long as they dont have tableratings for live play its all good

PTR is back but money won is changed oO

Database maintenance is currently being performed. Results may be incomplete during this process.

crap

Isn't it extremely easy for PS, FTP and Party to stop this site? They just have to not save HH for observed hands, since as I understand it even the new FTP replayer has the HH saved somewhere.

The answer: Stop them from so easily observing and processing hands, but to "stop the site" is as easy as it is for 4chan.

I love PTR because I can see someone being a huge blowhard on forums and find out that they cant even beat the limits they claim to have mastered (there are tons of ppl like that). I hate PTR because I think it makes the games better and also because people can see how important VPPs are to me

I also like to stalk the results of my pals.

seems to work fine

yep, and even tough it pretty much states its 30 % per hand won (not lost..) it is not really applied that literally. Because then everyone would be pretty much broke when taxing outside EU. Even a player that loses money will have to pay huge amounts, which will never happen.

PTR going would be good and bad. i hate the stalking side of it, looking up other regs, or them looking u up. but it's worth it's weight in gold when u have an unknown u know nothing about

its backkk
