Well the thing with poker sites, is they want people to win big pots, they dont care about the losers.

Thats why it sickens me bcoz most of the time im on the receieving end of it.

Too many times the flop has fallen conviently designed so that the chips are going in regardless of how the betting goes.

Im not a premium hand player and i like playing pots so i play many.

On a bad day i can have 7,8 hearts flop comes 5,6 hearts with an A and the person moves all in...i have a chance of flush/straight which makes about 20 cards in the deck good for me so too me, im calling an all in...too many times they have AQ or even 2paired or setted, but we are both committed all in. And more often than not, i lose!

When the situations reversed and im sitting there with a set and he is drawing more often than not...i lose!

To anyone that reads this that doesnt no me, may think "he just thinks he knows poker, and cant take losing"....i no what im talking about and its all very true. I have a lot of poker orientated friends and even my sister works in a casino so poker is something i have a great knowledge about.

I have a very capable poker brain and as soon as i see some1's cards, i no instantly what they need to hit or what i need to hit. Also when i play online and im playing a tight player, that only plays Aces, Kings Queens Or an A-* When they raise at me a big raise, im 100% sure they have one of those hands so therefore i dont need to look at my cards so to speak, i will call with 6-9...in the pure fact that if a flop comes with no picture cards or a 4,5,7 board...
I will then call his next bet thinking if the turn is low again for example a 6 < there is 4 to a straight, i push all in, and bcoz they are so tight, they will automatically assume they are beaten.

This is how poker runs through my head so i no my stuff and im certain poker online is rigged.

I believe theres a formula to how you play online, and if you do certain things the outcome will favour you.

How many times in a freerole, 9handed table, and everyone pushes first hand < i do it and loads do to...but how many times 7 people are all in, and yet the worst hand always wins, the hand that is totally dominated by every hand and need a miracle, yet that pony hand will win more than the other hands. Rigged.

FULL STOP

(I type too much, sorry for waffling, just have so many opinions lol)

Kaison is the only person who plays poker with me on snooker, ask him for an opinion of my 'Poker'. Fair result then

yeah i have seen that loads so i dont even bother betting on the first hand unless its a high stakes game that i know if i raise with a strong hand that people everywhere arent going to push all-in.
iv thrown away AA numerous times first hand and its something like 3 8 off suit that wins in a set or a house against much stronger starting hands A10 KQ and high pocket pairs.

i use internet poker to practise my reads and just for fun, live poker in a casino or around a table in somebodys house is my preferred method. i can trust (most of the time) that there is no cheating with people dealing.
however i do know a girl that can put any two cards in front of any person on the table if she knows where the two cards are before she shuffles them.

I just play tight/ super aggresive poker mainy.

It has worked well for me in the past, and if you play it right you can win 90% of the time.

Sometime's of course not always the best hand wins. Bluffing is a big part of online poker. If they have nothing, and hit nothing on the flop they will nearly always bet, thinkin, god, i want my money back. Simple, re-raise, and get them out of there.

Honestly, 80% of players online arent too bright, and are pretty much just fish

Yeah, me and 'Kaison' were talking about that for a while, i dont see how he missed it and his reaction looked abit guilty?

But these things happen i guess.

Just called a raise with KJ of diamonds, flop hits K,J,2 he raised i called, turn was a 6 he raised i pushed i had 2 pair and flush draw, he calls with AA river is a 2, suck out.

Next hand i get KJ diamonds (again) flop hits Q,10 diamonds and a 9 so i flop the nuts with straight/royal flush draw.

i raise, sb reraises and bb pushes all in, i call he has A2 diamonds turn is blank river is a 6 of diamonds. suck out.

Next hand after that i get pocket 7s short ish stack now, push all in preflop get called by 33, flop he 4,5,10 turn a 6 and river is a 7.

3 suck outs in consecuative fashion, what a ____ joke!

So disgusting thats £200 in 3 hands that i had unreal bad luck, really does ___ me of so much!

How can they get away with this crap!?!

based on the time of your post, im going to assume that was online poker you were describing?

and that is the exact reason i never play online poker for money. The hands are designed to keep people interested.

Ditto!

Once your hooked tho...sad thing is i know im better than 75% of them...need a site to fix and mega bad luck to make them beat me!


Just played down the pub...has pocket 3s raised got a caller (this guy kept outflopping me and always had one better)...
Flop he 3,7,KTurn was a 7....he had King 7 called my raise with that.

I had Jacks pushed all in...Called by ace 5...first card...Ace 2nd card...Ace chronic.

Also i had KJ flop hits KQ2 I was flushing with top pair...he has K2 raised at me with it arghh!

Finished on the bubble, horrific!

its way more fun playing around a table in a casino/pub etc than playing on a laptop.

theres no atmosphere on a site.

Want to post a nice hand i won the other week

Was chip leader after picking up a few nice hands at the right time & im utg with 3,4 hearts, so i decide to raise 3x the blinds. i get a raiser & 2 callers so i feel priced in to call, which i do.

Flop hits 2hearts - 5hearts - King of spades.

So im there with open ended straight draw & a flush draw, which means if they push im calling.

I plonked a small raise in to spark up some action, which was quickly eaten up by next position, he re-raised to about 4x what i put in. 1 caller and me, which i flat called aswell.

Turn card comes over Ace of clubs, which has given me, what is called "The nuts" meaning my hand is unbeatable at this precise moment.

I checked, player after me checked, as did the guy last to act!

So im thinking im not going to get paid..i need a bingo card...

Down to the river & im hoping the board doesnt pair...

River card Ace of hearts, which paired the board, however this adds to my flush from Ace - 5 making it a straight flush!

Im first to act & i dont want to bet it, so i just check praying 2nd to act raises!

Which he does! he raises about 40% of his remaining stack so im pretty sure he's pot commited & the guy after that pushes all in.

Which disguised my strenght as i didnt have to raise...just call.

So i called & the other player called, & flips over AK (Aces full of kings) & the other guy flips pocket 2's (2's full of aces)

Then i flip my straight flush.

Alright, my best call in a casino (in my short time as a 18 yo)

Was chip leader in a heads-up situation after a string of pocket pairs. Saw my hole cards and couldn't believe my eyes. 2S 8D. It was him to start, and raises 3x the big blind. I didn't want to fold, and as I am in complete control of the table, I merely called.

The flop comes 2D, AH, TD. I look at him and his hand is shaking. I thought to myself, he MUST have an Ace, no question. I try to bluff as I raised 2x the big blind. He instantly raised me minimum, in which I made myself call. I now thought to myself, act as though I have a flush draw.

Turn comes 4D. He is really sweating and I thought, maybe if I check/raise, I get the upper hand and force him to fold. So I checked, and amazingly, he checked as well. This guy must be experienced.

River comes 6H. I only got one pair, so I decided to go for it. Bet 6x the big blind. He raised all in! I was thinking for about 6 minutes after he done that. I look at him, and he is shaking like a vibrating mobile phone. I then look at the pattern of his betting and realised how loose he plays, and so I call. I flip over my 2 8, and he flips over a 7 9! I win the hand, tournament and £500! Nice XD

Yeaaah! Sounds interesting!


Another harsh beat, 4 handed on final table.

Im already making a minimum profit of 700$ but first place is 3100$ so im trying trying trying!

I'm 3rd in chips with about 15% of the chips in play.

Im on the BB and get 5's, all folded round so no chips for that!

Get AK in the SB raise, and BB was on auto fold! :L

So it wasnt going well, they were all so so so tight.

Im on the button, and shove half my stack with AJ off, small blind pushes all in (he was shortstack) and Big blind (chip leader calls)...

So i have half my stack in already, my thinking is small blind is shoving with anything decent and big blind could have a small pair or small Ace or 2 paint, so im 90% sure im beating them both...

So i push all in for the rest!

BB calls!

Flip them!

AJ for me //// Ace10 for Small blind //// Ace9 For big blind!!!

What a result eh!?

To the flop!

9,9,6!!! What a %$&$@%£ Joke?! lol

Turn comes J!

So i need a 3.7% chance to kop!!

What comes!?!



River - 10

We all hit our undercard and i get killed off by trips!

That was for 40% of the chips in play, and i'd of popped up to 870$ Minimum but at least i won 3rd place of 870$.

Disappointing not to of won that hand, but im happy for a 26$ buy in!

A seat was won aswell for first and 2nd

Been playing on pokerstars recently, first time i properly gave it a go.

It seems to give me AQ then AJ then A7 then A9 so i get rushes of big cards and nice starting hands and whenever i have AQ suited like the last 3 hands ive just had i raised, and been reraised and called and ive flopped 2 of my suit with a 9 high board, they bet at me nd i shove and theyve folded everytime.

But then i get hands like this, after the hours of hand work i do getting my chips up i get 44 and limp, then call a raise that some1 else has called.

Flop comes Q, 4, 8.

I check and its raised and called so i reraise 3x the amount which is called by both.

Turn - 2 (great card)

i raise 40% of my stack one guy pushes all in 1 guy calls, i of course call...to the showdown

One guy has AQ and the other has AA

And the river hits the case Ace for a pot just under 1000$

All my hard graft gone to a pathetic one card outer.

Keeps happening, i made 600% in 3 hours of poker doing 4 tables at a time.

Then in one hand i had 10,10 and had raised preflop the flop came K,7,7 so i raised the pot and he called.

Turn was a 6 so i raised slightly over the pot which he calls.

River comes a Jack so i just check it bcoz hes called me 2 streets.

He checks aswell and turns over QJ and a pair of jacks.

I dont no what the hell he was doing calling me 2 streets with big bets when he didnt have anything, but to actually hit a jack what a pathetic joke.

My mum seems to think there are machines on pokersites that are installed by the poker site itself, it knows when it will win and when it will lose, and that the game is manipulated into taking your chips.

I think she might actually be right.

Think about it, we will never know if we are playing against a person or a machine, and 95% of the users dont speak at all.

Hmm.

Lets start a campaign!! And demand loads of money, if they say no, we should try and arrange a deal so that, we can see everyones cards and whats next to come haha! So they we make...millions tbh!

Woah! Think to yourselves, how much money could you actually make if you could see every card they are holding and whats going to come out. Whenever people shove all in with AK or a pocket pair, you could be so rude and say you have 6,3 and you know your going to beat them, just keep calling them with real crap hands! Would love that tbh.

Altho with great power comes great responsibility! So i wouldnt target just one person/table I'd take an even amount off of everyone LOL. Im so nice

Anywayyyy. I just joined a stud hi/lo freeroll with 8000 players, i didnt understand the game 100% but i was reading the rules, I was actually very good! But the blinds get so big in the end and your forced to play and call to hit..if you odnt hit...its Ciao Bella!

Out of 8000 and 3 hours of play i finished 199th lol. Isnt bad, top 64 got entry into a tourny, but im not sure what it was!

8000 player tho, must of been worth all that time and effort, i bet it was a juicy tourny!

Not gutted tho, i played well and its a free roll, cant ask for much else!

Went to the pub last night...played so well...just played superbly tbh then.

AJ in the cut off flop J,8,4 raised every street turn was a 6 river Q he hit the Queen on the river.

Next hand AQ spades Flop Q,2,3 with 2 spades I check raise, they push I said you have KQ right? i called...they flipped KQ turn was a Jack of hearts River King of hearts. (2 outs)

Next hand im on the BB 1 big raise infront and 2 callers i look down, AA...so i push all in making it look like im on tilt...get 2 callers 55 and KQ..

Flop Q34 turn 10 river King, busted aces...3 hands in a row...

Next hand i have AQ clubs i raise big get one caller flop QJ3 i raise pot, he shoves im 50/50 to fold, i think hes either got K,10(str8 draw) KQ or 33. I Called...

He flips QJ top 2...didnt hit the Ace.

4 hands in a row, where i was 95% + in most of them...abserloutly ridiculos...proves tho, it does happen in real life!

I took it well tho, gutting to play out of your skin...to recieve harsh beats, im not sure what the maths is to lose all of those hands but i bet you its at least 1million-to-1! No lies!

Poker isnt your friend sometimes...

This sucks...

Entered a FPP (frequent player points) tournament on pokerstars. Qualifiers to the PCA (Poker Caribean Adventure)

600 players for round one, which i needed to place top 20 which i ended up finishing in 1st.

2nd round 361 entrants, 128 players get entry into the finals where all the big cash is.

After 9 hands ive got my chips form 2500-13000. Next chip leader in the tournament has 3380 so I am dominating.

Said to myself i will play big hands strongly but chuck all the rubbish.

First hand I have AK and called raised preflop..flop came AKQ he went all in...i called he has AQ and he hits a back door flush.

second hand I get 10,10 call an all in..they have 9,10. Flop...8,9,9 and quaded up on the river.

Third hand i have KQ flop comes KQ5 i raise he calls turn is an 8...i have top 2 with a King high flush draw i push all in...get called by pocket 10s...10 of spades and 10 of clubs...he cant hit the 10 of hearts as it flushes me...he hits the only out he has 10 of diamonds on the river.

Last hand before losing all my chips in the most outrageous fashion....i have 9,7 of clubs on the big blind, i call a raise from a tight player so i put him on a hand.

Flop comes, 8 of clubs, 6 of clubs and a 2 of spades. I have open ended straight draw (8 cards) + flush draw (9cards) i raise he shoves all in i call...he turns Ace king (no clubs) So i have the 9's and 7's as outs too (6 cards)
a total of 23 cards puts me favourite...blanks.
