poker bonus says knockouts count but bounty fees didnt move the tracker.

Chasing that poker bonus with the knockout requirement and it straight up ignores my bounty fees. The promo said every knockout should move the needle, but after playing several knockout tourneys, the tracker is still frozen. I double-check…

played micro mtts all week and bonus only counted buy ins not rebuys.

Just noticed something weird with the bonus this week. I spent way too much time grinding those micro MTTs thinking every cent would count toward my bonus but apparently only the original buy in gets tallied up. Rebuys and add-ons, which I…

jacks are impossible to play and i keep punting them

Honestly, jacks feel like the absolute worst hole cards to play for me. It’s like every time I get them, I’m just watching for overcards and bracing myself for pain. If I try slowplaying, somebody with garbage gets lucky, but if I come out…

does sitting with same weak players make poker rooms flag account activity

So I’ve been finding some pretty soft tables lately at my local rooms, usually with the same handful of regulars who just bleed chips. Sometimes we wind up sitting together several sessions in a row. I’m sticking around because it’s good fo…

Satellite overlay gone?

Used to love that satellite overlay on the MTT lobby, made it way easier to spot which tourneys had satellites running and whether the feeders were worth messing with. Lately I just can't find that option anywhere, not sure if it's been mov…

poker bonus cleared but leaderboard points stopped counting after midnight.

Bonus actually cleared about ten minutes before midnight but my leaderboard points froze right after. Was racking up a decent score too, then it’s like my account just stopped registering new hands on the board. Doesn’t look like it’s backf…

small blind defend?

never been a big fan of defending the small blind with junk, always feels like you're bleeding chips. i get there’s the argument for pot odds and maybe trying to hit something cheap, but i end up in weird spots post flop. people seem to say…

ggpoker cashier asked for source of funds after i withdrew less than lifetime deposits

Did a withdrawal for about half my lifetime deposits and got hit with a source of funds request, which threw me off. Always been steady, mostly blackjack and some sports parlays, nothing wild. Never had a withdrawal flagged before, usually…

HUD notes missing?

Noticing my player HUD notes are suddenly missing when I log in lately. No major updates or anything, and the stats still show up, just all my manual text notes are wiped. I never really relied on color tagging, just those short lines I’d l…

wpt global tournament paused on bubble and restarted with antes different.

was playing the tourney last night and it got paused on the bubble for like 30 minutes. when it finally restarted, i noticed the antes were totally off, higher than before the pause, but the blinds only went up by one level. i double-checke…

rakeback cap hit

just hit the rakeback cap for the first time this month and it feels a bit weird. not complaining about the free cash but it’s a different game when you know your hands aren’t adding up more rewards after a certain point. played most of it…

poker room says my volume looked like bot activity because i played same hours daily

So this just happened - got an email from the poker site saying my play looked like “bot activity” since I’ve been grinding the same hours each night. I get that their algorithms are scanning for consistency but it’s not like I’m crushing t…

Final table deal math?

been looking into final table deals, mostly chip chop vs icm splits, and honestly it's getting a bit overwhelming trying to work out what’s actually fair when big pay jumps come into play. i know icm is supposed to be more “correct” but it…

unibet poker hand history says disconnect fold but my internet never dropped.

Had a weird thing happen on poker last night - hand history flagged one of my hands as a disconnect fold, but I know for sure my internet was solid. Was sitting next to my router, nothing else dropped, even checked some sports scores in ano…

rebuy addon question

so i’m just starting to dip my toe into live tourneys with rebuy and addon options. i know the basics but i still get confused about when it’s actually worth going for an addon, especially if i’ve got a slightly below average stack but not…

partypoker table balance showed wrong after all in pot chopped

Had this wild hand last night - went all in on the river with one other player, board runs out for a perfect split pot, zero drama, or so I thought. Table balance updates and suddenly I’m short a chunk of change. Not a lot, but definitely n…

Turn barrel bad?

so i'm running into spots where i cbet flop and then bet turn when checked to, especially in heads-up pots. problem is, my turn barrel gets called way more than i think it should, and sometimes even raised. feels like the player pool's star…

888poker spin promo paid casino bonus instead of poker ticket.

So I finished the poker spin promo last night, expecting one of those random poker ticket drops they advertise. Instead, the thing paid out a casino bonus. Not sure if this is a mistake or just some sneaky terms I missed. I checked my email…

cold deck session

had the absolute worst run tonight at the table. you ever just feel like the deck is frozen stiff and not a single hand goes your way? got 3bet pre almost every orbit and just bricked flops non-stop. even the hands i played snug just bled c…
