Stay away from ChecknRaise poker

Interesting move to say the least. I wonder how much they will actually have to pay out...

I think one of you should "come forward," and let us know how it works out. I hate to say it, but this could very well be nothing but a publicity stunt, if no one is able to prove that they were one of the affected players.

One of the CNR winners has contacted poker.com but the "key" to the whole thing apparently is the phrase "if CNR management agrees". He's posted in the CNR thread at 2+2.

poker.com takes them to the wsop if the shit hole will still pay them as they stated or if they just get bailed out and make off like a bunch of losers?

RobDoral, one of the 3 players that won a ME entry from CNR has stated on 2+2 that CNR has contacted him and committed to pay them anyway. So it appears as if they've stated they're going to pay, but whether they really do or not. They've made at least one of the committed payments now.

So this really is a win-win for the players involved. Poker.com steps in and gives these players the package that other poker.com players received (which was actually worth $1500 MORE than the CNR package. They also have to wear poker.com gear, like the other poker.com winners). CNR is, supposedly, going to pay them the $12K over the next 20 months or whatever.

Even CNR, while this problem is completely their fault, doesn't come away from this looking TOO bad - assuming that they do pay. They agreed to allow poker.com to offer up the packages AND they're still going to pay the prizes out to the winners. Sure, it's still shitty that they even put the winners in this position in the first place, but they could have easily washed their hands of it after poker.com stepped up!

But still the biggest lump of cow dung ive ever seen.If these playes are smart they will let there account sit until they recieve all their funds and then bail out and never give those losers one rake more. i have a funny feeling that after a few months or so the payments will slowly fade away!!!!God that pisses me off!!
