I have gotten dicked over in so many hands today and people playing absolute junk!
Went all in had pocket ace’s hit my trips on the flop guy played 3-5 to beat me with a huge raise preflop, a little over 10X’s blind!
I hate playing against idiots like this.
Just lost with my ace’s again against pocket k’s cuz the guy rivered me with a king but this shit happens all the time, a lot more than it does in real poker.
So is there any other sites that you recommend where its easy to get money out and deposit it and isnt as pathetic as bodog.
No one plays by the book. If everyone only played AK and AA the game would be boring. Also, you are playing online which any one can do and full of people who like to see flops.
If you want to make money, go to the casino. Play anything above 1-2 no limit 100 max and you can make decent money. 100 max there is like online with any random person buying in with the table min trying to double up.
Personally, I only play 1-2 NL $200 max or 2-5 NL $500 max
No it doesn’t jack off, you’re playing at a pace that’s 2 to 4 times faster than live games. So you’re going to experience pocket pairs and bad beats at a rate similar. Add in the fact that you’re probably playing micro and low limit games (anything under $5/$10 blinds) where the play is drastically looser compared to higher level poker.
That and you’re probably playing AJ - AA a lot stronger than you should be. A general rule of thumb to use is only push AA in a pre-flop cash game in a re-re-raise situation when the action comes back to you. All-in isn’t really as much of a “scare” tactic in cash games as it is in tournament play.
Don’t plan on making real money playing online cash games until you have at least $2k behind your 2/5 game. Play deep stack, non-rebuy, no knockout bonus tournaments if you want to play with a bankroll under $1,000. Otherwise you’re just playing the odds until you hit a bad streak and go broke. Figure you’re going to lose 1 max buy-in (or 1 all-in preflop where you’re at least ahead 60/30) for every 4 hours you play low level online poker (over a couple hundred hour sample); so use some math to figure out how much you have to win to stay ahead.
ALL that said, I play Full-Tilt.
If you want to make a real run at making money playing online poker you should consider a poker coach like pokerxfactor.com or something similar. Head over to pocketfives.com and check out the forums there.
Well yeah I’m trying to make money too but its a little ridiculous with some of the cards that come out. I see people needing runner runner all the time and hit it quite often. Royal flushes get thrown around on fult tilt all the time. I know its a lot faster and you see more and whatever but it just fucks me off to see it happen so much and so many times in one game. /rant thread
I know I play pretty loose a lot of the time and you have to. I get on good runs because I play like poker should be played and everytime I continue that way I get fucked over by shit cards
I’m broke mang. Sorta stuck with it till I beat a few donks and get back up there. I played 3 $16 10 person games the other day and did pretty good in them because they are slower paced and people play like they would in real life and don’t play as loose
Don’t make me come back and kick your ass, oh wait im gonna be at the apartment tomorrow bitch! lol. They are on fire with fucking me over and seems to be everyone else, theres been a lot of bitching going on. How could you not go all in with the flop being A25 no suits when the guy pushes you all in. And he hits runner runner 7’s to hit a boat, I wouldn’t say thats shitty playing
You’ve mentioned like 3 hands, but nothing about your hole cards, position, raises, re-raises, push’s… etc. All you are saying is you got dicked over. Tell us your hand/play and I’m sure it’ll be you played it wrong, or maybe a little bit of luck on his end but nothing you couldn’t back out of instead of going full throttle.
Don’t be afraid to fold aces, when you know you’re beaten.
There are too many ways to cheat when playing online poker. I stopped playing a long time ago because i just couldnt believe the shit id see. I quit as soon as i broke even. I kept track and i fell behind fast, so i played smarter and safer and made my money back but it took a long time. I learned alot, but wasnt realy worth the time wasted.
I have pretty much given up on gambling, its too stressfull and addicting.
Ok here’s the lastest one. I was first to act with pocket kings blinds are 150-300 in a $8 tourny with 81 people in it, 20 left at this time. I smooth call and it gets to this one guy who reraises me to 1200, I have around 2200. So I reraise him and push all in, obvious call. Flop is queen king 3 so I was like hell yeah I got this. Turn is king so I was like fuck I know whats coming next, yupp a fucking ace. Needed runner runner again to beat me and thats what always happens. He had 10-J offsuit, who the fuck bets like that. I thought I would play a $9 tourny and should be good with people like that, nope doesnt work that way either./ rant
