Looks like Pitbull is gone

In case anyone hasn't seen the news already, there's no one playing on the site, and it seems one or more of the owners has been arrested.  It's hard to know the facts from reports on the web, but this certainly doesn't look good.

There was all kinds of buzz around about superacct. etc.  Traffic had declined to like 50 players at the peak.  Hard to sustain a site that only has 50 players.

well from whqats been going around the poker worl.  the owners were trying to cheat the playeer by having there prop players and they tried tio go quietly  and they got cuaght...  this whyy it is  dangeroues  to playu small site,, until  they  make  a impact,.

I know when cake poker network first open they were a small site and now there growing I think one of the reason is  alot of   famous sports  books that have been around  for years  are with cake network  and so they were abkle tro build a  base. ala  bo dog...  also  some of the sites  with big name pros  are usaully reptuable...  even tho they had there experince  with cheating  it seems those sites fix the  problems  and even give players the money back or  more..

so  at least  for the  us players if you just want to play on a site  and  not worry its gonna be  gone,,



so  here      are my safe  bets..

pokerstars
fulltilt
bodog
ultimabet
absutlepoker
merge at least 80 percent of the sites..
I would   go with nordica and  carbon as safe bets
cake  poker  at least 80 percent of the site..  Doyles room, betus
with  cake  and merge  I just went with the ones  that i know  are realiable and been  around for  awile..



one that is safe for  now  but who knows  how long..

is  everleaf gamming.. thats  the home of  poker4ever
if  you see  any of the everyleaf sites  goi to a diffent network then that would  rasie a cauition flag...

I  look for  if they have  an 800 number  and  usaull more  than 1500  at a tables  at a time   and  how long they have  been  around.. and how  quick there e-mail responces  are,  and  whicj pros  play for them.. if any

It is a shame when anyone's business goes under. I hope no one has too much tied up in pitbull.

damn it, forgot i had made a small deposit on there a long time ago, think it was 20 bucks, and won some on there, balance was 58, clicked the cash out option, bye bye money FFS...

i must admit that i never really trusted these guys and this was one of the reasons we didn't have forum games there or why we never promoted the room on the main site.

i was actually contacted by one of their reps last year, offering all sorts of freerolls and buyins but to be honest, when money is put on a plate like this by a room with no real pedigree, you have to worry about their long term future.

out of  all the sites  that closed  and  stole   ourt money n there  is onbe site  that  I have to  respect  and  it closed... it  was  bugsys  clubs...   they actaully  put the  money i had on there on to my stars  account.....

so  I must give  props  to bugsys  club    for  doing the right thing  and all the  other  boo  on them
