Default ProPoker explained

Found this on an affiliate site:

ProPoker offers a "new dimension in security" above and beyond what has been previously offered by any other internet site. Games will be monitored in real time by cardroom management personnel as well as software modifications which monitor the games and alert management if there are any inconsistencies present. ProPoker's integrity is second to none, with several redundancies for game monitoring in place at all times.

Inconsistencies = real players taking the bot's hard earned money?

I think ProPoker's claims are almost accurate, they just left out a couple of words:

[ QUOTE ]
Games will be monitored in real time by cardroom management personnel

[/ QUOTE ]

should read:

[ QUOTE ]
Games will be monitored in real time with cards face up by cardroom management personnel who are also playing at the table

[/ QUOTE ]

I have posted on this subject before, but would really like to try and save anyone else the trouble and cost of making the same mistake I did.

PROPOKER is a crooked site. There is no doubt in the world about this fact. I assure you, there's either some serious cheating from the inside, or there's some bot configuration which makes it nearly impossible to have any idea what the hell is going on.

Do NOT play at ProPoker! They even screwed me out of my measly deposit bonus.

It's OBVIOUS that there is something wrong at this site.

I called into Pro last night and left the 10-20 game open. It was three-handed.

After a while, I copied exactly the chatbox entries.

Anyone notice anything a little odd?

Yes, Rushmore, you are absolutely right. I hadn’t thought of the danger to those not “in the know” when I posted this.

Default Re: ProPoker Is rake taken only when a human plays ?

What about no rake from contested pots ... (I have not played there, but the series seems to indicate more bets in the pot than just the blinds in a 10 20, yet the $ amount rarely show any rake taken, i.e. $19, $29, $34 .... why aren't they raking a $35.00 pot .... because it is aqll their own money and rake is only taken when a human sits in ???
