Shill Games and the Online Bamboozle

Do you really believe those pro's are actually playing for $100k's?

Casinos hire shills to stir up action amongst the masses, why not online casinos?

I was a $3-$6 prop player at a central california coast card room while looking for work and I know a wee bit about the business. Food for thought.

Although I love low limit online poker tournaments there is a very good reason why internet gambling is currently under fire from the Feds.

A great book..

 If Pete and Greg were both taking in 5K to 20K a week for a decade i doubt seriosuly they both would have been seeking and or involved in backing. Obviously there is no doubt that many pros will wait for a willing sheep to be fleeced, as in the high limit stud game at the Hustler casino, but good goodly moogly your story is filled with so many untruths.

I'm confused.

- The thread starts out by stating doubts about pros really playing for their own money and online casinos having their own shills.

- A friend of Full Tilt states otherwise.

- The thread subject comes to screeching hault and suddenly the thread starter is preaching game selection?

Facts have a tendency to cause a condition commonly referred to as "Pwnedness."

OP might be back to normal in a few days.
