Site looks great. Amazed he's got it licensed.
Curacao licence, same people that licenced lockpoker. Worthless tat. Ultimate Bet had a Malta license... The license has nothing to do with the security of your money in practice - yes they can force you to segregate player funds, which if you're on a poker site is very crucial, but kind of irrelevant for sports books (which is effectively what BoT is) it's not your deposits you're worried about because you can just deposit to exactly what you want for each bet, it's whether you're going to be paid when you win or not. I'd say the fact that Timex is backing the project is worth a hell of a lot more than the license in this instance. I agree and concede that regarding licensing. Just bitter........ |

I think the leaderboard promotion that gives away 10 CPP packages every week is one of the most generous promotions I've seen in poker for a long time. It's an outrageous amount of money to give away. The actual leaderboard itself though is absolutely dreadful. Points are given away in a very flat payout meaning you are heavily rewarded for volume. Every tournament played adds to your grand total at the end of the week. To make things a bit more brutal, because of the incredibly flat payout that doesn't reward enough for winning a tournament, the optimal strategy that has to be employed is reg at the very last minute of the 12th level and receive 10 big blinds. You then must proceed to time down on every decision trying to outlast as many runners as possible. Regging at the start of tournaments (certainly the smaller field ones) is disadvantageous and certainly takes away the fun of it all.
I think for future leaderboard promotions there needs to be an overhaul on how points are distributed. Be it top x amount of scores go towards your tally to reward the players that have had some decent scores in the week instead of the ones that sit at their computers with timers going off to remind them to reg the 10am Kangaroo at 1:17pm.
Once again I have to mention how generous the promotion has been, but I can't help but notice the same few people winning the promotion every week with the same mundane strategy. Anyone with half a soul can't win one of these packages and after attempting this once for a week and been driven to insanity, I have never had such little fun playing poker.
Sorry if this sounds like sour grapes (it is a little, I've spent a daft amount of money on qualifiers and sold my soul to the devil this week).
cmon fella...ur better than that  |

From an ICM viewpoint, I found the way in which Kassouf exited interesting. He had something like 26m before first Aces hand, and from how the reports read effectively turned his Aces into a bluff, losing 10-11million ; then gets 15 million in with Kings pre.
If he 'small balls' both hands, checks back on a street, etc, he's probably final tabling.
Clearly it's never bad to get Kings in pre, but in the specific circumstances of the main event, when you're in final 18, and the pay jumps are huge, who plays his hands out differently?
That isn't right. He put 3.2 million in when he was in front with aces and "wasted" 3 million when he was behind. But that feels a bit results orientated and the bluff may well have worked if the other fella didn't have the jack of diamonds. The villian comes across as pretty cautious in that hand. And the 13 million with kings is pretty harsh. He has 30 big blinds holds kings and runs into aces. I have yet to see it obviously, but from some reports it seems like even then he agonised over it and badgered the bloke to get info (others have suggested he may have been trapping with the 10 minute tank). Not sure how he small balls away from a ten high flop if he just called at some stage. He more than likely had to fold pre as the only way to get away from it without losing all his chips. I am also not sure how he could have small balled/missed bets on his way from 7 million (or whatever it was) at the start of the day to near 30 million(??) at peak. Again it just feels results orientated. Yeah we want to play small when behind and aggro when in front, if only it were that simple. Pretty interesting river bet, he blocks the aces so combo wise the guy has a decent diamond a lot? |
