does late regging every mtt close to end make rooms review bonus eligibility?

Been hearing some chatter lately about late regging every single MTT and not really playing through most of the levels, just entering right before registration closes and spinning it up or busting fast. I know a lot of us do this to cut out…

HUD ban question

So I keep hearing about these new sites cracking down on HUDs, even in regular cash games. I get that some folks were using them to get a big edge, but it seems like a lot of grinders are still finding ways around it, or at least claiming t…

wpt global bounty didnt credit after i knocked player out during disconnect.

so i'm playing this knockout tourney, and the player i'm up against disconnects right as i get him all-in. i win the hand, see his chips in my stack, but no bounty gets credited. i refresh thinking maybe it's just a lag thing, but still not…

open shove range?

Lately I've been trying to dial in when to open shove in tournaments, especially in that 10-20bb zone. I've seen everything from guys jamming any ace to people who wait for premium hands only, and I can't seem to find the right balance. Sta…

poker room says my heads up play looked like soft play because same villain quit fast

so the poker site flagged my account for “soft play” because i kept ending up heads up with this one guy, then he’d leave super quick, almost every time. my style isn’t even that friendly, so i’m kinda scratching my head here. they didn’t f…

cash game table broke

sat down for what looked like a solid 1/2 game, table's full, drinks flowing, then bam - within an hour, two shortstacks bust and everyone else just racks up and leaves. felt like i barely got my feet under the table and now i’m stuck doing…

unibet poker support says same device login from years ago linked my account.

Had something real weird pop up with my poker account. Support basically told me I’m locked out because someone else logged in on the same device as me years ago, maybe a friend or a family member, don’t even remember honestly. They’re sayi…

auto rebuy glitch

so i noticed something weird at the poker tables lately, auto rebuy isn’t kicking in for me right after i bust out - it waits until the next hand starts and then reloads. before, it always topped me up immediately so i’d never miss a hand e…

final table payout lower than lobby showed after deal discussion failed.

Hit a weird snag on my last online tourney. We made it to the final table and there was some talk about making a deal but nobody agreed in the end. Then when players started busting, the payouts everyone got were actually less than what the…

river overbet bluff?

saw a dude pull a massive overbet bluff on the river last night, like way more than the pot, and it actually worked. dude on the other end tanked forever and finally let it go. not sure i’d have the guts to do that, but it got me thinking a…

partypoker deposit bonus says cash rake only but fast forward hands counted wrong.

I hit that deposit bonus promo, saw it was "cash games rake only" but figured my fast forward hands counted like usual since they're all ring games just way quicker. Checked my bonus tracker and it's missing a ton of hands, even though they…

ICM spot weird

Bubble time in a $20 MTT, I’m 3/7 with a just above-average stack, and two micro stacks left. UTG rips in his last 8 blinds, folds to me in the cutoff and I’ve got AJ offsuit. The chip leader’s behind me and he’s been shoving over tons, sup…

online poker hand history shows fold but i swear i clicked call before timer ended

I just had the most annoying thing happen in an online poker sit and go. Hand history says I folded pocket tens but I’m positive I hit call way before the timer ran out. Didn’t see any lag, I always double-check my button and it’s not like…

rake race bots?

Been noticing some wild surges on the rake race leaderboards lately and I can't help but think bots are involved. There's a couple of accounts always clocking insane hours, like nonstop grinding at a pace that doesn't even feel human. Eithe…

888poker locked my account after i changed withdrawal method post win.

so here’s what happened, i finally hit a decent run on the tables, went to cash out, and decided to switch my withdrawal method to crypto instead of my usual debit. figured it would be faster and maybe safer, considering the banks always ac…

PLO5 hand review

so i’m usually grinding blackjack but jumped into some plo5 last night with some guys from work. got dealt double suited aces, something like ah ad 8h 6d 2c in the cutoff, preflop raises to me, i pot it, button calls, rest fold. flop comes…

satellite ticket expired?

Saw my satellite ticket sitting in the poker client, but when I tried using it tonight, it says expired. Was sure it still had time left - I’m usually not one for details but I swear I checked the date earlier this week. Anyone else had thi…

acr promo leaderboard counted my points then removed half after session ended

Was grinding the promo board for hours, thought I locked in a solid spot, then boom - session ends and almost half my points vanish. I’m not talking one or two hands, literally thousands of points that were showing all along. I double check…

bubble abuse real?

Seen this talked about a few times, especially in tourneys online. Folks waiting till the bubble to go real aggro, pushing stacks just to abuse everyone who's scared to miss out on the payout. I get the idea but is it actually that easy to…
