If you search this forum's archives you should find dozens of posts confirming that everyone felt ProPoker cheated the players.

It felt more like you were playing against house teams and that they knew either your cards or the cards to come, rather than playing against bots.

It was quite incredible and masochistically fascinating that if you had a great hand you would never be called; whereas if you had a crap hand you would be raised and reraised. And I mean like every time.

Huge bonuses sucked you in to try the site, but I can't remember anyone ever coming out the other side with their own money, let alone the bonus.

There was always one seat left at every table for the sucker. Once he sat down, another seat opened.

If you watched a game before joining, the betting was maniacal and the cards shown down could be any two that just happened to win. As soon as you joined, there was never another bad hand shown down.

Actually, it was a bit like [enter site name] is today.

This sounds like my last 2000 hands or so on pokerstars.

This was always one of my favourite photos, accidentally sent to me by either ProPoker's or SunrisePoker's incompetent Support, and it's what I have always suspected the Korean Investors were looking at when they played.

I haven't been around poker all that long, but all I can say is "wow." How do I become a Korean Investor? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'll take this opportunity to thank Lori, Mike and Granny for helping me to aviod any losses at ProPoker. Being cautioned by them in the first place allowed me to lose my money honestly elsewhere to humans. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks everyone for the replies. Was "Korean Investors" some sort of excuse given by ProPoker?
