river call too light?

On the turn, I called a smallish bet with middle pair and a weak kicker, figuring the price was too good to fold given the stack sizes. River came a blank, he bet half pot, and for some reason I convinced myself his range was mostly missed…

pokerstars tourney paused during hand for server issue then resumed with pot missing.

Was playing a sit n go last night and mid-hand the whole table froze up for a good 5 minutes. Eventually it says server issue, and when it came back, everyone’s stacks were right but the pot in the middle just vanished. No idea who was supp…

rakeback tier dropped

Noticed my rakeback tier quietly slipped lower this week, even though my volume hasn’t changed much - maybe a few less hands, but nothing major. Never really trusted the whole system, since it feels like they’re always tweaking stuff behind…

played plo zoom and same short stack kept insta sitting every table i opened

I was grinding some low stakes PLO zoom earlier and noticed this super short stacker instantly sitting in on every new table I landed at. No delay at all, almost like they were tracking me specifically. Every hand they shoved first chance t…

3 bet pot line check?

Played a hand yesterday in a 3 bet pot with JJ from the small blind. Preflop got called by a late position raiser. Flop came 9 high, two clubs, I c-bet and they just flat called. Turn was a low card, didn't complete the draw. I slowed down…

ggpoker cashier says withdraw approved but balance still showing reserved funds.

anyone ever have their withdrawal get the green checkmark but the cashier keeps showing money as “reserved” like it’s still in limbo? usually i pull out to crypto so it should be quicker but it’s been hours and the status is stuck, funds no…

flopped set still lost

flopped a set of 7s, mid position, three-way to the flop. two checks to me, i bet about 3/4 pot, one guy calls. turn’s an overcard king, check to me, i go about half pot, he snap calls again. river bricks, i go for value small, and he jams…

poker bonus says sit n gos count but my ticket games didnt move progress at all.

So I was working off a poker bonus, and the terms said all sit n gos were supposed to count for the unlock. But I played a bunch of those single table ticket tourneys and my bonus progress bar didn’t budge at all. Double-checked the rules b…

aces cracked 4 times in one session, normal or time to quit

Had a pretty rough poker night, aces got cracked 4 times in like two hours. I know it happens but wow, by the fourth one I was just about numb. Three of them weren’t even wild boards, just folks calling down with random suited connectors or…

does mass tabling micro stakes make rooms review your account for bot stuff

I’m curious if anyone here has experienced extra account reviews from poker rooms just for running a bunch of micro tables at once. Like, if you grind 10-12 tables of the smallest stakes, does that get flagged as potential bot activity more…

Deposit bonus clears slow

so i grabbed one of those deposit bonuses for the poker room, figured it’d be some quick tuition but this thing is dragging its feet. i get the bonus is released in chunks but damn, it’s barely ticking up even when i’m hitting the tables al…

wpt global froze during heads up sit n go and blinded me out for 3 hands

so this was weird, i was in a heads up sit n go, things were going okay, then all of a sudden everything froze up on my end. no cards, no buttons, nada. by the time it came back, i’d been auto-folded three times and lost a pretty big chunk…

ICM trainer worth it?

I’ve been grinding mid-stakes MTTs for a while, and honestly, the ICM spots keep throwing me for a loop - especially at final tables or satellite bubbles. I play pretty tight when big pay jumps are in play but I keep second guessing my shov…

online poker room says “collusion review” because i folded river to same guy twice

Getting flagged for collusion just because I folded river to the same player twice in a short span seems weird to me. I mean, I'm tight and not calling down with junk, but now I'm getting this “collusion review” warning in my inbox. Pretty…

Sit out penalty?

so last night at the home game, one of the guys kept sitting out right before his big blind. he’d just say he had to use the bathroom or check a work email or whatever, then jump back in after his blind passed. not everyone noticed but the…

partypoker locked cashier after i changed my phone number

changed my phone number last week, went to log in and now the cashier is locked. account is fine, can still play and see my balance, just can’t withdraw or deposit. tried reaching out to support but just got some generic reply about “securi…

HUD stats useless now?

With the player pool getting smaller and regs constantly adapting, I’m starting to wonder if HUD stats are losing value. All these people talk about making decisions with databases but if half the table changes usernames every session or ta…

final table deal popup lagged and then deal got rejected like i clicked no

Final table, 4 left, deal popup comes up after someone suggests a chop. I hit accept but the thing just froze and lagged like mad. When it finally snapped back to life, it said I rejected the deal. Next hand, someone busts and now we’re 3,…

Min raise misclick

I was deep in a 1/2 cash game online, just kind of vibing through the hands and had my snacks out, not really in “serious” mode. I meant to 3-bet someone with AK suited but instead I misclicked and put in a min-raise, barely above the previ…
