Cashout after satellite win?

Scored a seat in a live event through a cheap satellite, and honestly, I don’t have much experience with these bigger buy-in tournaments. I’ve always just played low stakes online or blackjack. It’s tempting to just take the cash value and…

unibet poker says vpn login broke terms but i only used hotel wifi

Weird situation here. Got an email out of nowhere saying my poker account got flagged for VPN use and that’s a no-go under their terms. Problem is I wasn’t even using a VPN, just bouncing around on hotel WiFi during a road trip last week. N…

Bluff catching too much?

multi tabling mistakes

I keep blowing it whenever I try to run more than two poker tables at once, and I'm not sure what the main thing tripping me up is. Sometimes it's just straight up missing my turn or timing out, but other times it's like my brain just loses…

grosvenor poker bonus progress stuck even tho i paid rake all night

Was grinding micro stakes cash games last night and the bonus tracker is just frozen at the same percent since the session started. I know for a fact I cleared enough hands to at least see some movement, racked up more than enough rake to h…

MTT variance brutal

man, i’m feeling this one lately. dropped into a few small field tourneys this week and the up-and-down swings are actually driving me nuts. got it in good more than once, watching two-outers hit over and over. i keep telling myself it’s no…

acr table froze on river and hand auto folded me with top two pair

Table froze right when the river hit and I was sitting there with top two pair, pretty much counting the chips already. After a few seconds everything unfroze, but my hand was already folded. No time out warning or anything, it just kicked…

Cash game rake too high?

Been trying to grind some low stakes poker lately and man, the rake is just eating into every pot. Like you hit a decent hand, rake swoops in and takes a piece before you even stack your chips. Makes me wonder how much you're actually suppo…

won a decent chunk in the weekend tourneys, put in for a withdrawal, and now it’s just sitting there “pending.” got all the kyc stuff sorted last month and it’s marked as fully verified. i know they say withdrawals can take a couple days bu…

Tournament late reg worth it?

I've always had mixed feelings about late registration in tourneys. On one hand, I get why players want to avoid early-phase showdowns against wild all-in guys who just want to double or bust in the first few levels. But the math changes a…

online poker hand history missing the biggest pot from my session

my hand history from last night is missing the one hand that actually made my night. i flopped a set against a guy who’s always running wild in chat, got stacks in by the river and it was by far the biggest pot i played. weird part is, ever…

HUDs still allowed?

Used to see a lot of people using HUDs when I played more online poker but I've stepped back a bit, mostly focusing on blackjack lately. Now I'm wondering if HUDs are still even allowed on most of the major poker sites. Seems like some room…

partypoker support asking for source of funds after years of small deposits

so out of nowhere i get this email asking me for "source of funds" even though i've only ever put in like $20 here and there over literally years. it's not like i'm suddenly dropping high roller amounts or anything, just the same low-level…
