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

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…

all in pre with queens feels cursed every time

queens are that hand i hate going all in pre with but i always do it, feels like every time i get snapped by aces or kings. maybe it's just bad timing or maybe i remember the losses more than the wins, but i swear i brick with QQ more than…

does bum hunting make poker rooms limit your promos or review your account faster

If you play lower stakes and only target weaker opponents, does the poker room actually start watching you closer? I’ve heard about people who stick to easy tables and suddenly get their bonuses limited or their promo offers dry up out of n…

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?

Been noticing lately I’m calling down with hands that aren’t really strong enough, just hoping to catch a bluff when deep down I know it’s likely I’m beat. Feels like I get stuck in spots where I talk myself into thinking they’re trying to…

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…
