It's shady only to the same extent that any other cross-staking deal has the potential to be shady.  There's really no issue beyond when players stake each other and then are playing at the same table, and even then, only if they actively collude or play each other differently than they otherwise would.  If you're staking someone you probably already play against them differently, because you think they're winning players.

If anything, having a complete list of who is staking who could be useful and makes it less likely those players are actually going to cheat overtly.  You could even use that information to get an advantage over them, conceivably.  It seems cheaters sharing a bankroll would be less likely to list that fact on some public website.  I suppose they might if they don't trust each other, after all, they're both cheaters.

Etc. etc. etc.

Thank God for the bozo bin.

I vacillate between it's silly, it's bullshit, to they need to make it longer and make it more posts, especially after a whole screen on some threads of 6 post trolls just douching up a storm.

It's really no big deal.  Other than the posting part, you can basically automate the "four hours" part if you aren't a total retard.  Or hey, you could actually spend four hours reading the forum.

Not with basic strategy.  There are very few opportunities online for card counting at blackjack.  However, blackjack is a reliable game to play when clearing a bonus or when there is rakeback or something else active that brings your overall EV positive.  Even these are a lot less common than they used to be even a couple years ago.  It used to be quite possible to make a lot of money "bonus whoring" the various online casinos, but not as much these days.

Or for profit, but only if you can actually make one.  There is no way of doing that at SatoshiDice.  The degenerates and the blockchain just take a hammering, the degenerates from losing and the blockchain from being spammed with worthless dust transactions.

So long as they get their cut of the stolen money, they're happy.

 

Cya.

What happens when pigs grow to gigantic sizes, grow enormous wings, and start dropping nuclear pig shit on all of us?

They could still create a good deal of havoc trying.  The IMF should be considered a serious threat, not just to Bitcoin but to the world.  It would be a very good thing if Bitcoin did, in fact, contribute to ending the existence of the evil bunch of thugs and thieves known as the IMF.  The sooner the IMF is up against a wall the better.

Quit spamming you piece of shit pigfucker.  You have already been told unambiguously to fuck off and die.

That's a chop.  All the remaining players can agree to whatever split they like, so long as there isn't a rule against it.

If they waited for the fourth player to go out of the room to take a whizz and then agreed to screw him over and split the money between themselves, that would be collusion and cheating.

Ask pirateat40, who ripped off people for much, much more than that and is laughing at the fools he suckered to this day, with zero consequences.

I suggest a less off-putting nick.

Perhaps "Bitcoin Pedophile" or "Bitcoin Nazi" might get better results.

I'd agree with this to some extent in those freerolls where people sign in and aren't there, but I believe the poster who brought up this issue mentioned it was PLO8, and there are no PLO8 freerolls on SWC.  So I assume they were somehow disconnected against their will, and were probably going to reconnect again.  I don't think it's legit even to collude like that in freerolls, but players in freerolls are much more likely to have just never actually showed up, and the "colluders" in such tournaments are much more likely just not to know the rules.

There were others in the hand, they were just not currently connected.


This would not be tolerated in any poker tournament I am aware of.  Where have you seen this done in tournaments?


Chopping blinds in a cash game has nothing to do with explicit collusion in a tournament, and is between the blinds.  Some people routinely agree to do it if it folds around to the blinds, others don't.  It's nobody's business who isn't in the hand.  Apples and oranges.

There's really only one ruling here consistent with how poker is played live and elsewhere, and that is that it is perfectly acceptable to check it down like that, but not to say to do it.  "Implicit collusion" is okay, but once it becomes explicit collusion, that's cheating.

Printing money is a tax.  It essentially removes value from your pocket.  Yes, you have bills of exactly the same denomination in your pocket as before, but suddenly they're worth much less.  Unlike something like income tax, which can be challenged if it is unfair or done without due process, inflation is a completely silent tax that you have no say over or way to fight.  Now, nobody likes paying taxes, but the "printing money" tax is particularly pernicious.  It is also particularly "addictive" for governments, some of which become the printing money addict equivalent of crackheads, like your example of Zimbabwe, or Germany right before the Nazis.  Arguably, hyperinflation from irresponsible money-printing was one of the main causes of the rise of the Nazis.

It'd be nice if he responds in kind, but he generally responds in schwag.

I'd like three kinds of freerolls, overlapping.  One, the original WTA structure, which I miss.  I've basically stopped playing them except for giggles since then.  The other, the current structure.  The third, a "normal" structure, still 50 chips, but with fractional chips, it should be easier to do a "normal" structure.

I also think there should be really micro, microstakes for newbies.  Considering that even 50 chips is now basically $7.50, there is nothing like penny stakes on Seals any more.  I know a lot of people on Stars, including names you'd know, graduated out of the penny stakes there.  Bitcoin poker should have something similar.
