Satellite bubble pain

I swear, bubbling out of satellites is its own special kind of tilt. Last night I got it in with queens vs tens, all the chips go in preflop, and dude spikes a ten right on the river. Of course, it’s literally the last spot before the seats…

got sat with same 3 regs in fast fold for hours, normal traffic or weird matching

Spent the last three hours on fast fold and no matter how many times I hit next hand, I’m almost always sat with the exact same three regulars. Got me double-checking if I’d accidentally signed up for a private club or something. Was watchi…

time bank glitch?

Noticed a weird bug last night at the 6max tables. My time bank started counting down way too early - like as soon as it was my turn, not after the usual buffer. Totally messed with my rhythm, especially on hands where I actually needed a s…

888poker asked for bank statement after i withdrew less than i deposited overall

Made a withdrawal the other day and got hit with a bank statement request, even though my total deposits are still higher than what I’ve cashed out so far. I get that these checks are getting more common, but it threw me off because the num…

PLO variance insane

not sure how you plo regulars do it, seriously. i dabble now and then and it feels like the cards are turbocharged compared to nlhe. bankroll swings just slap you upside the head. i had quad aces cracked twice in the same hour, and it wasn’…

played spin games and promo progress counted half of what leaderboard showed

so leaderboard updates can be delayed, that part i get. i watch the refreshes and expect some lag, especially during rush times or new promos. but i just played a streak of spin games, way more than usual since i was gunning for a promo, an…

Cashout feature bad?

Every time that cashout button starts blinking during a poker tourney or even in blackjack, I get this weird mix of relief and regret. If you think about it mathematically, most of the time it feels like the offer is stacked against you, li…

acr tournament ticket vanished after late reg closed but i never got seated

registered late with a satellite ticket, late reg was almost done but i was sure there was time left. didn’t get seated before the window closed and now my ticket’s just gone. checked my tournament history and it just says “expired” with no…

zoom pool feels reggy

zoom pool lately is just regs vs regs and it’s honestly getting to the point where there’s barely any real dead money left in the games. i don’t buy the idea that the “pool is always evolving” because it’s literally just people 4-betting li…

room says my account needs security check because i logged in from new wifi

so i logged in from my buddy’s place last night to check some tables, and now the site’s making me jump through hoops for a “security check.” never had this happen before just for wifi. i get the idea but feels a bit much considering all i…

Bubble spot question

Came pretty close to cashing in my first live MTT last night and busted out right on the bubble. Not gonna lie, I was tight most of the last orbit since nobody wanted to risk it with one person left till the money. Ended up getting it in wi…

pokerstars hand replayer froze on the all in hand and now history wont load

So I was sweating this big tourney and the damn hand replayer locks up during a crucial all in. Tried to reload the hand history after and now nothing’s coming up - just spinning forever or blank screen. Tried logging out and in, but still…

rake race worth it?

So I've been eyeing this new rake race promotion and can't decide if grinding it is actually +EV or just a distraction. The prize pool looks juicy at first glance, but when you factor in the real stakes - the amount of volume and hours you…

sat at plo25 and two players kept sitting out every time table got short handed

Kept finding myself heads-up at plo25, and these two players always insta-sat out once we got short. Literally every time the table dropped to four or less. It turned into a waiting room instead of a poker game. I get that some people only…

ICM punt or standard?

Middle tourney spot, 9 left, I’ve got a just-below-average stack and I’m in the cutoff. Folds to me. Table’s been tight since the FT bubble popped and payouts are steep now. I’m holding a hand that’s a marginal shove but not an autopilot sp…

ggpoker withdrawal review started right after i shipped a small bounty mtt

So here’s what happened, I took down a little knockout tourney for just under $200 and hit a bounty or two. As soon as I hit withdraw for part of it, I got a “review in progress” tag on my withdrawal. Never had this on a site before, and no…

rivered by 2 outer again

felt like tonight was another one of those “life’s not fair” sessions. i’m at a live table, i’m ahead with top set, we’re deep, he’s drawing stone dead except for the two exact cards. we get it in and he literally goes runner-runner for his…

poker room says my rake chase looked like promo abuse but i was just grinding nl10

so i was grinding nl10 pretty hard this month, just steady hands and volume, nothing fancy. the poker room hit me with a message saying my play looked like i was abusing a rake chase promo. i seriously was just multi-tabling and sticking to…

Is ClubGG/online poker legit?

I’ve been playing ClubGG for a while and was curious to hear anyone’s thoughts on the app.
