General Poker Discussion Poker Forums

been sticking to my guns for 3 months. biggest frustration is getting called by low PPs in 3bet+ pots to lose to sets. thats happening a lot. or someone slow chasing TP vrs my over to river 2 pair. losing 80% of the 50/50's, people stacking off with draws that always hit by the river.

atm it seems very one sided. last time this happened, i jumped to FTP. odds seemed to work "properly" on there. for want of a better word. last time this happened on stars, my roll was at 2k, and after 3 months of some of the worst beats ever, it was down to 400. this time, i'm fighting just to stay break even. and with no rakeback, there's absolutely no go forward. at least on FTP, the rake mean the roll was still climbing, and i can see if moving up stakes was enough to see a change.

on stars, thats not possible. im just trying to get my roll back to where it used to be. thats all.


sorry for brining up a contentious issue, wasnt the intention. just looking for a site to play on. mainly as a change of scenery. and listening to the advice on sites allowing US players, i think thats a pretty valid reason to not play on those sites.

Why does it always seem to be the site that is crushing people's bankrolls? Can it possibly be that you might not be playing well overall? Sure you might be losing flips and getting sucked out on, but what about all those other hands that aren't all-in hands? Not trying to be harsh, I remember having this type of mentality before as well. Now I look back at my play when I had these thoughts and it was clearly just me playing like a complete fish even though in my mind, I was playing good.

Oh.....and I just hit post #100!!!!

not doubting. but sometimes a change of scenery helps clear the mind.

Think for a second why stars would have it in for you specifically to such an extent as to risk their entire business by shafting you.

Now if you know anything about maths and time complexity give me the time complexity of rigging a massively multiplayer site such that you can shaft a list of players. It's computationally unfeasible to do even if they wanted to.

That's very interesting.

Gizardpuke,

Sounds devastating.

Maybe post some hands or video of you playing and people can review and point on what you do wrong.

Either that or you wanted to start a yet another "Pokerstars is rigged" thread and not get flamed for it.

Just curious, what games/stakes do you play?

FYI, Merge is rigged as well. Somehow I'm a winning player on there, and there's no other way to explain that.

You must be a fish then because when sites are r0gged it's always in favour of donks and against real solid regs who would be crushing if it wasn't for the greedy owners who are obsessed about taking those extra 2 cents in rake from them.

And I say 2 cents because it's always at cheeseburger stakes that this sites are r0gged, because I've never heard of a single long term winning player above the micros who believes probabilities work differently across sites.

Edit: BTW, OP. Definitely don't deposit on Cake. Really shady business AFAIK.

funny thread.

That was the joke, yes.

Locking this thread. There's no reason to believe Stars is rigged, and while your intention was to ask for other sites people would recommend, it's turned into a discussion of why you left Stars to begin with.
