In my opinion not really, but it is quite remarkable that when i started i had alot of luck, and now i only get bad beats. And it seems that everyhand is decided on the river. Every single time the lead changes on the river. Whats your opinion?

Hands are decided on the river on every poker site and every live poker game. At least in Holdem. ;)Quote:

Is pokerstars accepting US players again? I'm so behind the times on all this FBI conspiracy crap.
I love and miss pokerstars. Perhaps absence does make the heart grow fonder. But I don't think there has ever been a better site.
it is best to play on PokerStars there and the structure is better than other poker rooms and prizes are always nice and good peybek current when you first supernova to this status only play on PRIF
I like that they always pay out. There really is no jerking around.
When you're running bad and feeling it emotionally, you attend to those losses more closely, and they loom larger as a result.
We all wish! If it did start accepting US players, you would hear about it. And its poker, there isn't one site that everyone says is not rigged.Quote:

This will allow you to keep things in perspective. good luck..
if your playing on pokerstars consider yourself lucky. I sure wish I could.
i agree but just sometimes i think what happens is impossible, and it keeps happening over and over again. For example, first hand lost with JJ vs QQ then after that i had AK and lost vs J5, and immediately after that i got 99, i hit a 9 on the flop and the other guy has trips 10s, so i was devistated back then :S
In my opinion your looking too closely at your results. Instead focus on your play. Did you play the hand right? Could you have extracted more value? Could you have lost less? If your play is solid then in theory you earned money. Thats all that matters. In poker the one thing you dont have to worry about is the money because it takes care of itself. Assuming your playing in good games with more skill than your opponents and you are within you "actulal" and "pyscological" bankroll limits.
I played for a living on pkstr for 2 years and wasnt depositing on the site I was cashing out direct deposite to my bank account every month. Maybe not prof enough but in that time I never had a problem and I saw how luck can really cause crazy shit to happen. AA vs A7 all in pre two 7's on the flop, every time I have kk all in pre my opponent hits his ace. But its completly random.
A reason they wouldnt cheat is because they are the biggest site. 15 billion dollar industry. The make buckets of money every second. They dont need to cheat. In fact it would do more harm than good.
The only thing we as poker players can do to deal with variance is work on improving our game. This has the effect of making our downswings shorter and less sever. Also it makes our up swings longer and much greater.
once again gl.
I understand ppl and the variance of poker. I have read and read on this and they say u gotta play 10,000 hands before u get a good feel of where u are. I have less then half of that but to me just cant seem to get above breaking even. I dont know online poker to me is a diff. to me then live. I always do ten times better live then online. Anybody else aggree with that
I dont know why its diff. online for me. Like i said live I do really well but online is diff. story. Frustrating
I say if you suspect something fishy, keep stats. I have yet to see anyone come forward with hard statistics showing anything out of the ordinary with online poker.Quote:

People always try to find excuses for losing, it is not rigged
Just played a typical hand on pokerstars. I had AQ, another got 99 and the last got Q10. the flop was 5 7 Q. I went all in. both of them calls. The turn is an ace, and I?m really happy. Then a J on the river :( swo typical pokerstars hand.
