Hi guys,
When i overlook the forum i hardly see any poker related threads, no threads about bubbles strategy, hands played, bankrollmanagement, ICM, ect. Back in the days everyday it was full of these threads everybody can learn from, but now allmost none
Way too many free rollers here to make threads valuable or actually learning something new about poker or themselves. That is pretty much it. And when they open new threads then those are about their bad beats. Something tells me this place won't be 2+2 in the anytime soon...

hey doomdy. still a few poker related threads but not so many. most of the posters on here are just after clocking up mob points these days. they seem to care more about ball shavings, and random b******t than poker strategy.
------------ i normally just look in the "poker forum", to filer out the rubbish.

Yeah, well also the site started 'pushing hard' betting related promos too, so there is some switch in the main focus and conversations, also the blogposts are became few and far between. There's always a change in the trends around here.

Hi mate.
This days, this forum was saw a few members posting and make threads, and the members that do just want to tell their storys of bad beats and wins, and others just came here to see the news and play some promotions, and to make some mob points. The members that realy came here to learn and try to get some knowledge from the forum and post interesting things is a low thing to see. Me like others came here like 2 or 3 times a week, see the last threads, coment/post on the we see that is interesting and we can learn and get some experience or knowledge, and that is it. My opinion.

Yup definitely not a poker forum no more...its all about betting bs now. I remember the good ol days when it was a poker forum tho it was great. Lots of interesting posts and poker strategy talk now its pretty boring and repetitive. I remember being able to come by a few times a day and have half to a full page of different threads and good reading. Now i just swing by to play safe n calendar and head back to the other poker forums for good poker chat.

...I think there's a whole array of fairly decent stuff to read here and promos and tourneys and stuff you get a good heads up on...! It doesn't neccessarily have to be mostly poker theory chat...!
Lot's of reasons folks post here,...some are bored,...some have steam to blow,...questions about various promos and what have you,.... Some do it for the points,...some like to socialze,....whatever...!
The only thing I don't much like is the odd bully that comes along...

Skilled poker players wont post much here. Why would they? They cant get anything valuable in return from a bunch of freeroll players and that is effectively what this site is (in general).
On my part, I use this forum for light hearted chat. If I want a serious poker discussion I use forums elsewhere

also there is only so many times you can explain how to play JJ utg. every question has been answered, there is no point in asking, just search and the answer is there.

excuse me for answering but i think thisforum has a lot of selective threads not only poker is in focus.but all of the above starting from registering to depositing accounts and it should be run as bussines.some make poinrs ,some are aggressive to receive promotions .

I always thought of the BRM as a community where poker is not the main thing as there are a lot of offers , maybe it was more poker oriented before but no idea now it might have changed with time and all, anyway yeah looks there are not a lot of poker threads, anyway good luck to mobsters out there who are playing poker may the poker God be with you and hopefully you guys make a lot of money at the tables cheer!

DOOMDY....... Spot on the mark as usual and extremely observant. The community appears to have become an overarching community of community rather than poker issues, questions and guidance, though if you read between the lines you will get the poker connection.

if one wants to see a change, he has to be the change himself. dunno what that means, probably someone is talking about not receiving change in the local supermarket or such, but i have a clue that if you started to post poker related threads from time and a few dudes catch up to you, you can change the direction of the wind...

Posted by TheMachineQC: When I do open this kind of threads they rarely get to page number 2... People don't like overthinking hands like I do it seems
And there are these people that just like to disagree or agree without even saying why.
And these people are freeroll players for a reason (they either don't want to or are to lazy to take the steps to become consistant winning players - I count myself in this).
