blueodum 0 Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 The only thing I can think of is that they think there are many more fish than good players, so by allowing the good players to stay, it'll chase the fish away, leaving only the good players to play against other good players. Eventually everyone will leave because the games will be too tight.That might be their reasoning - I don't know if it really makes any sense. After all, there seems to be a natural "shark-fish" equilibrium (if there are a lot of fish, the sharks come in and restore the balance).It sounds to me like they are a two-bit poker operation that is doomed to failure while the big online poker sites thrive.

MilesZS 0 Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Hey, welcome to the most retarded thing I've heard today: closing someone's poker account because they win too much -- and too much is $1500 a week.Good god, you'd think they'd be going "Hey, keep your winnings in here, what are you doing? Deposit some more, play the highest limits we have! We love you!"I mean seriously, they're only gaining rake, right? I am right, right?I feel stupider for having even heard of this. It's worse than the guy that doesn't get bonus points from Paradise anymore because he's too good. Link to post Share on other sites
emineric 0 Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 i'm so glad i got out of noble poker when i did. at least you got the money in your account. i recommend staying away from that site no matter how lucrative their bonus grows to. Link to post Share on other sites
MRPICKLES 0 Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 nothing crazy, 1,5k a week for 5 months ive played on the siteThats 60k a year....Not just any small amount. That is more than most make in a year at a "real" job.heres point 3 of the TOS:Any commercial use of Sports Interaction Poker is strictly forbidden. The Player plays only for private and non-professional purposes.seems fairly weakly worded.Maybe because of that they consider you a "pro" Link to post Share on other sites
semaj550 0 Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 This could be their way of avoiding having to deal with cheating and pros. They might just assume that no one can win a lot of money without being a pro or cheating and it sounds like they don't want either type of player on their site. Link to post Share on other sites
