ONLINE POKER - SITE - Bugsys Club

They have very little traffic and a horrible cashout policy which they don't make clear when you make an initial deposit. You must earn 60 points per $100 deposit before you cashout or face a penalty charge... what kind of BS is that??? How can a site with so little traffic have such strict cashout policies?? I can't in good faith recommend this site.

The software is decent but there are not many games even though they have a policy of earning so many points before getting a free cashout. That is weak.

Low traffic. Horrible software (small graphics) They tried to charge me a penalty for cashing out! Why would anyone play at such a place?

During the tournaments, as players are eliminated, they "balance the tables" which can take literally minutes. No other website does this & is reason I will never be back.

On almost any poker website you're going to have awful players that don't have a clue. With that being said I think Bugsy's club houses the WORST players on line. Most of the time you'll eat these fish alive and Bugsy's does have a ton of great free tourney's. Lately however it seems lousy players are getting lucky everytime they go all in with rags.

Last two tourney's I've played in I had pocket aces cracked with K2 and J4. Both players going all in before the flop with substantial chip stacks. People on Bugsy's bet and raise with no game plan. They have no idea what they're doing just raising and praying. Lately it seems too many prayers are being answered. Bugsy's is still the best poker site on the web but I'm begging you Bugsy's, don't start becoming like Party Poker and the rest of the rip off sites that reward poor play with great results.

More Aholes than poker players here

People going all in with 36 and 74 pre flop on 25/50 blinds and constantly catching starights and flushes against KK and AA. One of the most ridiculous sites out there. Terrible software, awful graphics and incredibly, painfully slow play. Avoid at all costs!

Cheating Site

I am not going to bore you with all the specific stories - just let me say that I played here daily for 2 years. I tried to convince myself that it was not fixed and I was just frustrated with "normal" bad beats. Not.

I have now accepted that this site is fixed. Like other sites you will win at first. I deposited nothing and won freerolls for money and then moved to money tourneys. I eventually built a reasonable bankroll (from nothing). I withdrew a large portion of that bankroll(3 months ago) and from that time on I lost always just short of the money (after winning numerous tournaments over the 2 years.) I have not placed in the money since. Prior to this I would routinely place in the money even if it was in the low end. It's at the point now that I rarely even win a hand- they are so blatant in my not winning that its surprising. They don't seem to care that I know that they have cut me off. My only avenue of redemption is to try to spread the word.

One more thing - long time players at Bugsy's openly acknowledge that the site is fixed - the strategy is to accept it and hope they don't pick you to lose.

I have stopped playing at Bugsy's Club.

What do you consider a "high number of hands?"

I have played at Bugsy's Club for over two years and I must agree with Unregistered. There is absolutely nothing random about Bugsy's Club. They used to even acknowledge that they "overcorrected" for the lack of high cards. What this means is that fish calling with Ace trash off-suit know that are going to suck out on you way more often than they should. I won't even go into completely disconected straights, unsuited flushes, and the number of times dominated hands end up winning. It's absurd! Avoid this crummmy and crooked site.

I first started playing at Bugsy's in the BBP tournies and league skill tournies. I did very well. I made it to the final table 10 of my first 12 tournies (including 3 wins. However, I seemed to notice a pattern that developed on this site that isn't even close on any other site.
After being knocked out of 3 straight tournies when I had an overpair to the board and someone called with a gut shot straight draw, only to hit it and knock me out.
I noticed, or so it seemed, to have an inordinate amount of flops that were as follows;
789, JQK 234 etc. It also seemed that there was an incredible amount of boards that finished with 4 to a straight or 4 to a flush.
I did some research on 4 different tables at 4 different levels for 100 hands a piece.
Here's what I found. On table 1, 33 out of 100 hands had 4 to a straight. 42 out of the flops were 3 to a straight.
Ok maybe it's just a coincidence.
Table 2- 36 out of 100 hands were 4 to a straight. 44 of them flopped 3 to a straight.
Table 3- 31 out of 100 were 4 to a straight 39 of them flopped 3 to a straight.
Table 4- 40 out of 100 were 4 to a straight and 46 of them flopped 3 to a straight LOL!

So 35% of the time, in 400 hands there was 4 to a straight on the board? After I found this I went to the live help they have and asked why are so many boards 4 to a straight.
The guy immediately responds with "Our RNG is certified by blah blah blah, here's the link"
I told him that link didn't say anything and then he told me to send my findings to some other link.

Anyway, because I had so many BBP's I decided to play at the ring games for BBP's and sit n go's for BBP's.

I played 140 hands at the ring game table and the best hand I saw was A7 off suit.

The first tournament I played in after this, on the first hand I was dealt 88. I raised, I had 3 callers. The flop came Q87. One guy bet into me and I went all in. He called with QJ. The next to cards were J and J. So this guy beat me with runner runner to get a higher full house.

The next tournament I played in (it was later on) I was shortstacked I went all in with 77. I was called by one guy (who called off about 85% of his stack with J9) Flop came 799 turn 9 river A.

Just incredible how I ask a simple question, based on my research and all of a sudden I get bad cards and take really bad beats.
There must be a reason why this site only has about 1,300 players at peak times. Stay away from this crooked ass site.

Yep, I went back here to play for BBP's and of course nothing has changed. Last 3 tournies I got knocked out of. I had AA vs AK preflop when the money went in. Flop was AQ2 Turn J River 10, Now the funny thing about this is, I predicted these two cards in the chat before it happened LOL!
Next tourny, I had pocket 8's Flop came Q87. I bet, one guy raises, I go all in, he calls with QJ. Turn J. River J LOL! Finally I'm all in preflop with JJ One guy calls off almost 90% of his stack with 79 (off suit) Flop J 9 9 Turn 9 river A LOL! Yeah, nothing wrong with that software or their "Random" number generator HAHA!
So I was 87% to win with AA vs AK. I was 95% to win with my set vs top pair, and I was 80% to win with my JJ vs 79 (off suit) Yet I lost everyone of these hands. LOL! No wonder I don't play for money online anymore. It's not rigged, or set up, I'm just unlucky LOL! Yeah ok.

THIS IS A SCAM SITE;Bugsy has this big tournament.I win my way in to play for it then they just cancel it.I get nothing back not even my original investment into the satelite.I complained .I had played approx. 75000 hands there.They said 15 to 20 hands looked suspicious that i had folded.They took the rest of my money.Brian the cardroom manager is a thief,liar & a coward.They say in their forum that they dont use props,thats strange i was a prop for them & they have plenty more.Im planning a class action lawsuit against Quadri Holding NV which owns this scam site,so any1 whose money has just disappeared on bugsy please post it.

they are a smaller site but they are not a scam - they have been around for a while. Email support and see what is going on.

this site might have been ok at 1 time but these smaller sites promise too much to get players & get theirself in financial problems.This site needs to be avoided completely.

bugsy

I also propped for this site,they used us to fill in the spots on the 20000 monthly league so they wouldnt have to pay that out.Then they quit paying us because they said we were playing against other props too much.Without props on this site there would be hardly any1 playing.Stay away from this site,it wont be around long.

It doesn't matter how long they've been around. They won't be around much longer. Awful site, with terrible game play, awful software and NO ring games or traffic, except in freeroll tournies.

This site BLOWS!
