Rigged Poker Stars

[jbjj]

So weird how youSo weird how you lose forever and ever during the cold streaks. Always in with best hand and lose long streaks. Never placing in sngs for long streches. But yet never win long streaks like the ones you lose on!! Really weird how they control profit and build that player base. Someone will columbine some stars one day lose forever and ever during the cold streaks. Always in with best hand and lose long streaks. Never placing in sngs for long streches. But yet never win long streaks like the ones you lose on!! Really weird how they control profit and build that player base. Someone will columbine some stars one day

I'm on a cold streak who's fault is it? MINE,

I have some bad luck it puts my game off, so I play bad, that puts my game off more so I play worse. So it's all my fault, not PokerStars, FullTilt, Merge or anyone else.

Take ownership you play crap, you lose

Guess who just got knocked out a tournament

i will be honest my normal reply up to a few months ago would have agreed with reply along the same lines ie you play bad manipulate the stats n facts blah blah blah.

But as i have said previous i aint never lost money on sites i previously plyed and thats including when i did not know how to play so lost on that site for a short period and then profited ever since.......however pokerstars i have turned over around 40.000 usd on mainly 3.40 usd sit n go along with some 6.50 usd...after palying many 3 dollar games i thought if i stuck to the same roi on 6 dollar games i will pofit as the rake is not so bad not alot but profit so i move up then i have a worse roi which is leaving me in the same place either level or losing a very very very very very minor amount i still have my original bankroll which was my 300 dollar reload bonus plus other bonuses and have since around 4 months chasing rainbows the site will never put me broke but will never let me profit. i feel like those months i have basically worked for them people are losing money to me which is my rake to pokerstars.

I assume it is just me playing bad but 40,000.00 usd turnover on a few hundred dollars bankroll if i went broke quick i wouldnt mind if i profited i defo wouldnt mind but it leaves me neither here nor there

Also 1 final whinge i set a descent score on the battle of planets checked out the week before i had enough to have finished 4th so assumed i would qualify in there top 10 for there BOP freeroll i finished 13th sighhh

The whole discussion goes round and round but I still say the simple solution is, if you think a site is rigged either to doom a particular player or country or it is rigged to create action hands to build rake and make profit for the poker room STOP! Go to another poker site there are a few about Play a good amount of hand/games that give a good statistical analysis and see where you are compared with the "rigged" site. If it turns out you are right and you win so much better at another site, great, problem solved

so true nb...i just got very personal with the site and wanted profit i am not playing on the site currently infact after 4 months of nothing i am not playing at all..very strange ive played 1000s of 1 table sit n go's on several sites and profited healthily ive played 1000s on pokerstars and nothing but i can see no logic for why as there are enough fish at these tables but they have the edge on me i have changed my game several times and if i play ina way that could be described as SLIGHTLY and i mean SLIGHTLY agressive i will be a certainty to lose a fortune so how do many players get away with it ? ?

i will say mayb this is just sour grapes and i have just thrown my toys out but if / when i move onto another site if i consistently profit from them i will be 100 PERCENT sure pokerstars has an issue

Also had this been any other site i would have left after a week but as pokerstars is so easy to get a game whenever you want its a big must for me which no other site can offer except fulltilt who have a p*ss poor loyalty scheme

You talk about the difference in your profit compared to other sites. If you read S-bobs review or talk with players who have been around a while you'll see/hear this kinda thing about P-Stars:

Players ... 36,000 Think quality and class. If you play bad poker then you will be punished in mid to high limits - if you want to take your poker to another level this is where to do it.

See you were playing against probablly weaker opponents... then you got to a place where there are many more well rounded players and you got stumped. Thats just my take on it.

hi

I think that is exactly the thing to take from this ...

that players are totally different or at least noticably different through different stakes

it used to be that most sites had a good deal of bad players through all the stakes - now its much less so at the higher stakes and some sites players become better at lower stakes than other sites

most importantly if you play a certain way at one limit (and win) you almost certainly WONT be able to play in exactly the same way at a higher limit and win ...

this is most important because to put it bluntly thew middle stakes are full of good players who play a mixed up and not permanently TAG ABC game and will run total rings around low stakes TAG ABC players who have been ripping up the low stakes

this goes for cash games AND SnG's

some games 3-betting is taken forgranted, some stakes your wasting your time doing anything clever, other games you've got to be prepared to look past a 3-bet and disrespect a bet and not take things at face value etc

personally I think I do better in the $2/4 cash game than I do in the 25/50 cent games and this is because I find it hard to play a standard TAG ABC game ... but that is exactly what you have to do at the lower limits

I used to be happy to grind out in the $5 or $10 SNG's on OnGame sites and did ok on those but if you take the same "winning" game to the $20 or $50 sng's you get mashed in no time

You DONT get away playing the same way in a pokerstars (or fulltilt) $10 or $20 sng that you do in a Pacific $20 sng

players have generally got better
