custom36 5 Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I deposited on pokerstars today, I play $50 NLHE, and I'm down 3.5 max buy-ins. Tables tighter than a virgin, the people that DO call will call all the way to the river, and then they inevitably hit their miracle card. Fuck pokerstars. Now I have to wait 2 days to cash out. I win on every other goddamn site, but I can't win there. They may have the best tournaments, but I'm fucking done with that site. And yes, I realize this sounds like I'm promoting some conspiracy, but I'm not. I'm really fucking pssed off that everytime I play there I lose. I play the same way I always do, but the cards fall the wrong way. And, on top of it all, I have to go work in Taco Bell for 4.5 goddamn hours. :evil:Edit - I'm not looking for sympathy and I'm not looking for "recognition," so I don't want to fucking hear it.

And I don't exactly enjoy being disrespected by someone I've never played with.Allinbluff on the other hand, I expect a comment like that from him.Hey idiot, why don't you think about this rationally. Let's examine the following quote:"Hi. I usually play 5-10 hold 'em. Today, I decided to move up a few levels, and took a shot at 15-30. Wow, the players at 15-30 are much better than the players at 5-10! It's a lot harder to grind out a few BB/100 at 15-30, because though I don't feel that I'm necessarily worse than the players here, they are definitely tougher competition than what I'm used to. This might take some getting used to..."But this might make too much sense. You probably just blow. Link to post Share on other sites
custom36 5 Posted May 11, 2005 Author Share Posted May 11, 2005 But this might make too much sense.

custom36 5 Posted May 11, 2005 Author Share Posted May 11, 2005 So you're upset. That's too bad. And if you want to curse, that's your business. But you couldn't have been that upset if, as you typed out your response, you activly took measures to avoid the filtering software here. I'm not disrespecting you, I'm just pointing out that you lack class and respect for the host of the forum.The disrespect comment was directed towards the original reply. I realize that you're being respectful.I'm not upset anymore (I'm pretty calm right now). I was pretty angry when I typed that out though. I figured that few people go into this section, and those that do expect to see a bad beat story or whatever.You're right, I should've let it censor the words. But I was seriously tilting then and felt that, to make my point, people had to see the words I was typing. Wrong obviously, but that was my mindset at the time.You're right, I wasn't very classy in that post. But, that was one of my worse tiltss in a long time. It had been a pretty bad day to begin with (I won't bore you with the details though), and then to sit down and get hammered with bad beat after bad beat brought out the worst in me.In regards to the host, I have the utmost respect for the host of the forum. This had nothing to do with the host of the forum and nothing to do with the amount of respect I have for the host (though, yes, I see the point you're making). It's just an angry guy making some angry comments. I expected this to die out without any replies, but I have no intention of letting an annonymous person say "maybe you just suck" because I have too much respect for my skill and myself to let him say something like that to me.

otnemem 0 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 I didn't say maybe you just suck! All I said was that the players on Poker Stars are better than some other sites, and perhaps this has to do with your troubles. Why does this automatically equate to you sucking? So I think Jimi Hendrix was a better guitarist than Jimmy Page. What's this got to do with Steve Vai? In my second post I said maybe you just blow because you came out swinging calling me a douchebag for no reason. And assuming anyone would give a **** about tracking your progress is absurd, you self-important douche. Link to post Share on other sites
custom36 5 Posted May 12, 2005 Author Share Posted May 12, 2005 And assuming anyone would give a censored about tracking your progress is absurd, you self-important douche.Well, the way I figure it, to tell someone they blow, you should be able to identify how they play. Apparently anyone that disagrees with you "blows" in your opinion though. Whatever assclown. Link to post Share on other sites

What about allinbluff, who stated plainly that you were probably outplayed? Why aren't you attacking him? Is it because he's got more posts than me? I don't waste my time in these forums, for the most part, because of stupid ****s like yourself who turn every thread into a ****ing personal issue.Step 1: Get in the coffin.Step 2: Die.

Scottp4175 0 Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 I figured I could add my worst beat to this section, since it was on Pokerstars. I have seen plenty of worse beats percentage wise, but for me this was the worst due to the situation.Pokerstars $20 MTT, approx. 750 players started, I don't play MTT's very often and we were done to the last 25 players, which was the closest I've ever come to winning. I was very short stacked, with only $15,000 left and the blinds at $1500/3000. Dealt AA under the gun. I limp, which many players would see as an obvious play, but I thought it would work and I was right. Middle position big stack raises me all in and its folded back to me, so I gladly call. His pocket 8's fill up on the flop and I'm out with a measly $65. It was the best I had played in a tourney, only made 1 or 2 questionable plays which weren't too costly, so I was distraught at that beat, I thought I had a real chance to make it to the final table and do some damage. Although, now that I'm looking back on it, I would still have been short stacked and had to double up again to have a chance. Sorry for the long post, but it was nice to get this off my chest.

Rocketwadster 0 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I am sure that the majority of the FCP'ers have a site or two that they just can't seem to win on. For me personally, I have never won a single HAND on pokerroom.com (haven't been back in over a year though), UB seems to give me more than my fair share of bad beats, and FTP just seems to bring out the worst in me. However, I more than make up for those three sites by playing about 8 others that I can easily clear a bonus on without putting hardly any money at risk. :wink: Link to post Share on other sites
krup24 0 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I really enjoy the stars. Of course I've put several holes in my walls over the last year or so but overall I am a winner on the site. I actually play exclusively there now. You make your money at small limits and sit n gos on this site. Link to post Share on other sites

He says he can't win on Pokerstars. I have indicated that I have had problems on a fe sites for no apparant reason, as I have cleared many a bonus on at least 8 other sites. Who said that I RELY on the bonus to make money? I will readily admit that I am a bonus whore, jumping from one site to another to get any bonus I can, but how does that indicate I am not a winning player? Weird post you put in there, not helpful in any way to the original poster... :? Link to post Share on other sites

Especially the part where you mention "putting hardly any money at risk." And you're right, my post wasn't in response to the OP. It was in response to you. That's how threads work. He writes something, you write something, I reply to something you said... I disagree with the notion that there are particular sites that particular people don't do well on for no other reason but chance. There might be factors, most notably skill level, that make certain sites more difficult for certain players, but I don't think anyone is just unable to do well at a particular site.
