Default Re: About the PokerRoom X-mas tourney

Pretty much agree with Jim.
Glad the players are getting the money that THEY DESERVE, but the tone is pretty telling.


FWIW - I don't think many were specifically looking for a reason to jump on PR (although some clearly have other gripes there).

If this had happened on Prima or Crypto or even on Stars I think the reaction would have been pretty much the same.

The bandwagon of hate came from how absolutely horribly this situation was handled. And you guys are the ones that did that yourselves.


You raided players accounts AFTER THEY HAD ALREADY BEEN PAID, and took their money without saying anything.
And somehow you thought this was the appropriate action to take.
And continued to let that stand until the out-cry over this got to be too much.

You're honestly surprised that there was outrage over advertising one amount of money, paying that amount of money, and then taking it back?


I also am not feeling in the mood to go back and check the original-post, but weren't other players under the impression that this was a guaranteed tourney before it appeared in the lobby?
