min cash pain

min cashing deep runs in tourneys always messes with my mood. busted just short of something big again last night and yeah, technically it's a win, but honestly after hours of play it just feels like eating a stale cracker when i wanted the…

played heads up cash and villain disconnected every big pot, room says normal

Played a heads up cash session online, and every time we got to a big pot, the other guy would suddenly disconnect. It’d pause up for a bit, then he’s back in like 30 seconds, claiming connection issues. Weird part is it only ever happened…

Rake cap question?

so i'm mostly on the slots or live dealer, but i jump on the poker tables sometimes when the slots are cold. got a question about the rake cap at the tables - does it really change much depending on stakes? seems like sometimes i'm losing a…

pokerstars spin ticket showed used but game never opened.

Was anyone else ever hit with this weird glitch? I used one of those spin tickets and it said it got used up, but the actual game never loaded for me. I double-checked my connection because sometimes my wifi likes to drop out right when thi…

table broke mid hand

so this was a new one for me. six-handed home game, middle of the hand, table leg just snaps and the whole setup dumps chips and cards everywhere. action froze, obviously. most stacks were easy to count since chips ended up clumped, but the…

room says my fast fold volume triggered account review but im just grinding micros

Just got hit with some kind of account review because of my fast fold poker volume. I’m only playing micro stakes, so I don’t see how I could possibly be flagged for anything shady. I multi-table, sure, but it’s just regular grind speed for…

Turn cbet spot?

Board comes J♥ 7♣ 3♦, I open from the button with A♠ Q♠ and get called by the BB. BB checks to me. I know I’ve got two overs and some backdoor stuff, but I keep second guessing firing the cbet here. Feels like the kind of board they call wi…

ggpoker bounty credited late and showed wrong amount in cashier.

Last night I busted a couple guys in a bounty tourney and the bounty credit showed up way later than expected. To make it more confusing, the number in my cashier was way off from what I was supposed to get. I even wrote down the bounties j…

river straight again

Lost to another river straight last night. This keeps happening, and I swear it’s more frequent playing live than online. It gets on my nerves, especially after trying to build up with decent hands and watching people call with almost nothi…

poker promo says mtt rebuys count but tracker only moved on first buy in.

so i’m grinding this mtt series because the promo says every rebuy is supposed to count toward the mission tracker, but after i fired off my third bullet the tracker still sits stuck at the original buy in. either the thing’s lagging out or…

kings into aces again and i need to stop registering tilted

Got my kings snapped by aces again and I’m starting to think I just can’t handle playing right after a bad session. Happens way too often where I get stacked in a cooler spot and just insta-reg into the next one out of frustration. My brain…

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…
