It's not about how much you win, it's how you win it. But yes, it happens.

I only know of one SBR poster that ever received "the boot" from TheGreek, and that was RickySteve. But I can't really remember exactly what the problem was.

Usually the only thing I know of in regards to why TheGreek would boot/limit a player is if they were playing steam after already being issued a extremely strict warning.

If I remember right, he requested his bet history, and they booted him. Surely there was more to it than that, nevertheless that's ridiculous.

That right Durito.

I remembered it was something really odd like that, but I just couldn't remember exactly what the reason was at the time I made my original post.

I know lots of players who have had their account limited. The players agree to certain restrictions, and the account is re-enabled. Restrictions like don't chase steam, don't double-pop props with friends, or don't bet wise-guy teasers.

I know of one poster here who was issued a warning. As long as he doesn't chase steam he's fine. I think he had his limits reduced but I can say 100% on that.
