Make up means paying back what you're down if you bail out?

Yeh make up = net loss

Why not speak to bv and explain the situation, see if you can control certain staked account cashiers? This would stop them withdrawing if they lose etc?

Sorry you have missed the point here. Players cannot withdraw etc and that is not the problem.

The situation:

A player loses and gets into say 300 euros make up. They then don't want to quit as they will have to pay it. Instead they play less, don't post on the forum, don't respond to me and then make up excuses.

Then we have to basically drop them and take the full loss as it is pointless having them stay around.

It is if you're a potential future staker.. if people can't be trusted to be staked then the community at large should know.

I guess that way but if you were or anyone else then I'm sure jon would av no problem telling you in a pm all the names his crossed over the years to watch out for I mean it makes no odds to me if there named or not maybe doing it once would put an end to it but I don't think or jon has the hart to do that he can be too nice some times he would make a bad loan shark hehe

Haha yeah I know what you mean man, but have to draw the line somewhere :/ and as you say might stop others if they know the community will be informed

So a new month begins and we are ready to show the world how we roll and produce a profitable month on the tables and also win some Top 350 money and of course print some rake back.

Also our staked players will be battling it out to have a 1-1 video sweat live review made with our new coach Ming. Valued at $200+ per hour this is obviously a great prize for our guys and will help them incredibly with their game. They can play a session and discuss some hand histories which have bothered them.

How to win this session:

Competition: Runs from 00:01am Friday 11th September - Monday 21st September 23:59PM.

Participants(unless any new players sign up before)

Whoever has the most points at the end of the time period will receive this prize!!!

All players must track in a google doc/spreadsheet/word doc/email the URLs of their hands posted/replied to and submit these to me on the 21st.

Man have you had a profitable month yet? I know variance plays a part but im shocked that with these players it seems like you're down more often than not.

Truth is it was not these players who have lost. Was 4 people who lost over 500 euros and just ran on us.

You have the worst luck man, props to you for keeping the positivity and giving people chances.

@Obliterate Yeh sadly it shows the poker world in quite a bad light even tho they are a seriously small % of the players out there. The main thing to remember are all the good guys and i am sure we will keep at it with our current crew and also find new guys to add in to the team!
