Default Re: 10 Reasons to avoid TruePoker

[ QUOTE ]
1. The small blind and the big blind are the same size?
2. The hands go too slow
3. It is hard to follow the action with the over-emphasized 3D graphics
4. Whistle letting player know it is his turn is not loud enough
5. Player and dealer talk is too loud and too much (Yes you can turn this off)
6. Players get timed out too quickly making it difficult to multi-table
7. Punishment for timing out is getting booted off the table? (This happened to me several times)
8. The hands go too slow (yes this deserves mention twice)
9. When sitting down at a table it is hard to enter buy-in amount. The scroll bar will often pass the desired amount. I.E. If I am buying in at a $1/2 table for $50, it will often scroll from $49 to $50. When I go to type 50 in the box, oftentimes it is difficult to erase the existing number or type over it.
10. The black guy smokes at the table. How rude!

I have to admit that the TruePoints store is amongst the best out there though.

I felt the need to address these concerns. I feel that I am well qualified seeing how I have played almost 50,000 hands there in the last 18 days.

Naturally, they will be sending me to the WSOP, so I may be prejudiced, BUT I THINK NOT!

1. Promotes action

2. I am averaging way better than 400 hands per hour. Tops was right around 475 per hour. How many hands do you need to play in one hour?

3. I did struggle the first 20-30 hours with this while 8-tabling, however, I have now adjusted and it is no problem. If one is just playing 1 or 2 tables, I don't see how you could make this comment.

4. I have the sound off and I don't have any trouble knowing when it is my turn to act.

5. Once again sound off.

6. Not a problem for me and I am 8-tabling.

7. This has never happened to me.

8. See number 2.

9. I will give you this one.

10. Ever play live poker where everyone at the table is smoking?

Truepoker has stepped up and shown alot of interest in developing ways to attract players to their site by listening to what we as players have to say. I cannot think of no other better reason than to play at TruePoker. When's the last time did any of the other major sites listen to what you had to say? It would have been one thing to state these as your own personal list why you do not care for TruePoker, and for you that could be valid. But to suggest that players should avoid TruePoker for the reasons you suggest is ridiculus.
