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…

online poker room locked withdrawals because my deposit card expired mid series

Was deep in an online poker series and my debit card decided to finally give up - expiration hit right in the middle of the run. I made my last rebuy with it, now when I try to withdraw after bubbling out, the room tells me the card I depos…

PLO double suited spot?

so i got in a hand where i'm on the button with a double suited rundown, something like 8h 9h 6s 7s. action folds to me, i pot it, both blinds call. flop comes king high with two of my suits, so i got the wrap and flush draw but i completel…

acr says tournament payout was adjusted after late audit but wont show breakdown.

So I just played this MTT and the payout screen didn't match the prizepool after registration closed, which already got my radar up. Now they're saying a late audit found an "error" and they adjusted the payouts after the fact, but they won…

misclick shoved again

Was deep in a low-stakes tourney and ended up shoving with ace-eight offsuit on the turn, which I swear was not my plan. Just meant to click call, but my tired fingers went full send. This is like the third time this month I’ve done this so…

played rush poker for 4 hours and promo counted only half the hands

Put in four hours grinding rush poker, kept track of my hands cause I wanted to max out this promo, but at the end it said I only played half of what I actually did. I’m not one to obsess over every click, but if I’m gonna sit and avoid the…

ICM fold too tight?

ICM always throws me off when it comes to these tight folds, especially late in tourneys. I get the math and all, but sometimes it feels like I'm leaving chips on the table just folding hands that would be easy calls in cash games. It’s lik…

pokerstars freeroll ticket showed registered but lobby never seated me.

Had a freeroll ticket from a promo, showed registered and everything, but when the tourney kicked off, my seat never loaded. Tried refreshing and logging back in, still nothing but the lobby said I was in. Pretty frustrating since I usually…

rake points missing

Logged in this morning and realized my rake points didn’t update after a good stretch of 2/4 and some tourneys last night. Nothing crazy happened during play, just usual hands, but my points have been reliable up to this week. Only change i…

room says my cashout needs seating pattern review after i table selected too much

I’ve been grinding multi-table for the last week and today after a decent run, my cashout got flagged for “seating pattern review”. The only thing I did different was bounce between open tables more often than usual since my preferred ones…

Check raise turn here?

hero in sb, 100bb, opens to 3bb, one caller from co, bb folds. flop comes 7♣ 9♠ j♠. hero c-bets 4bb, co calls. turn is 2♥, so pretty blank. hero has j♥ 9♥. this spot always messes with me. i’m often thinking of either barreling turn or goin…

ggpoker bounty tournament froze after rebuy and my stack came back shorter.

Was playing a knockout tournament and it froze on me right after I did a rebuy, which already felt kinda sketch. When it loaded up again, my stack was noticeably lower than it should have been. Not talking about a few chips missing either,…

rivered by runner runner

Sitting on the turn with top two, villain has a short stack left, and I make the classic bet for value. He snap shoves, so I call it off, pretty much knowing I’m ahead unless he turned the straight. River comes, of course, runner-runner flu…
