  1. So you were playing way outside your limits to start with. If you were winning that much from your original $50 why are you so down on the site? I would be loving the fact I turned $50 into $2000 inside of 1000 hands. I'd be back there in a shot.Ok now the four of a kind grudge you have. You played 1000 hands. Lets say the average is 4 handed, thats being kind I imagine its nearer 6-7. Thats 4000 hands being dealt in that time. Now 10 quads in 4000 hands looks fine to me. Do you know anything about odds?
  2. So let me just get this right, you were playing 10/20 and you lost all your money in the one hand. The next thing you want to know the best place to deposit $20 in to a new site. A full BB to start a fresh, thats smart. If you lost all your bankroll in one hand you were obviously out of your depth and should of kept to the 1/2 tables. Instead of moaning about the beat maybe you should study your play, you must of made a crap preflop bet to let someone in with J-3. Even if you were slowplaying preflop you should embrace the fact people are going to call you all in with nothing more than trip J
  3. pacificpoker.com has a java version, as does pokerrooms skin hollywoodpokerMany thanks
  4. Pokerroom is fine, how else can you play at work if you have no download permissions? :wink: On a side note, do any other decent firms offer a java alternative? I get easily bored playing the same site and it's always good working off a bonus at a new place.
  5. It's easy just play $30 s'n'g's at Party. Win one a day and you're $120 in profit. Job done.
  6. I have nothing to add except, thats a great avatar you have
  7. I found a couple of good value tourneys, one excellent freeroll and some good guaranteed pools with overlays. The dilemma is should I share this info with friends or clean up on my own? By sharing the info the value diminishes and so not as much value. By not sharing, if my friends find similar games and tell me I feel slightly bad about not keeping them updated of similar events. Oh what to do........
  8. Grrrr... stop recruiting for the devil.What don't you like about RV suited?It's a Prima skin I believe and I quite like the software, I play on a different site but it's good fast software with great choice of games.
  9. What stakes s'n'g do you play? How do you find the level of play?I've played there a few years now and love the s'n'g structure. Personally I find the level of play at the $25 + $50 reasonably soft, not as easy as Party but less of a crapshoot. The cash games are quite tough at times with some very good players at the 2/4 nl games. I still make a reasonable profit on them but prefer easier pastures.
  10. Interesting idea floating around on a couple of the UK forums. Why not set up a private MTT on Stars with $500 entry. Invite 40 people with a winner takes all prize pool. The winner then has $20k to cover entry fees and expenses. Now for the interesting bit........Every person who enters is also buying a piece of the guy who's gonna play the main event. For example the winner has a 30% stake, the other guys at the final table share another 30%, between themselves, and the other 30 players out share the remaining 40% at staggering intervals depending on when you get knocked out. It means you ge
  11. It's called selective memory, get over it. I've been playing online for around 5 years and belive it's clean. Ask yourself why a company that is making millions per year with no risk would put this at risk by rigging the software. As an earlier post stated, it's usually losing players who continually whine in this manner. I'm guessing that what you are!
  12. OK apologies, I didn't mean to infer all MLS players are trash. I still believe it will be a long, long time before MLS teams can compete with teams from the top leagues of Europe. Every top player in the world aspires to play in Europe and will continue to do so. Until MLS can attract the best players and coaches, before they are coming to the end of their career, nobody outside of the U.S. will consider MLS a quality league. That's not meant to be ignorant or dumb it's what I consider to be the truth. You only have to take note of what happens to the best Brazilians and Argentinians, once th
  13. The MLS is not a quality league. It is full of has beens and never will be's. The only quality leagues are played in Europe. Italian, Spanish, English and German, in that order. The majority of players plying their trade in MLS would not get a game in any of the top flights in these countries. Every top player in the world plays in Europe and the Champions League is the best competetion in the world. Technically no player in MLS can match players such as Zidane, Ronaldo, Rooney, Shevchenko, Henry and such. It will take many, many years before MLS comes even close to European standards. In fac
  14. Not to be pedantic or anything but, I don't really count them unless you use both hole cards :-) . Nice job all the same.

  16. VC is part of Tribeca software. They have around 40 different skins including Doylesroom, Goldenpalace and VC. I find the software one of the best out there, it's fast with good graphics. The only thing lacking is hand histories. The ring games have good action and are very profitable. I've played there for around 5 years with excellent results. My only other gripe, aside from no hand histories, is the lack of choice regarding MTT's. They all seem to be rebuys and the blind levels are only 8 mins.The freeroll merchants were a problem when they had 0.10c giveaway s'n'g's and $2 freeroll MTT's r
  17. Five players all-in pre-flop. All had PP, it was pocket Tens, Jacks, Queens, Kings & Aces, in that order, & each player sat next to each other. It was witnessed by almost the entire card room, because once it was "on their backs", almost everyone came rushing across to our table to see what the fuss was about. And if someone had told me the story, I dont think I would have believed them.So once the fuss had died down, I needed to deal the board. And whilst the guy with AA was clearly favourite, (he was 44% to win, but clear favourite) he was not THAT confident, as any "paint" (bar an A
  18. Stumbled across this blog. Funny story about some drunk guy playing Hold-Em, I thought it was some guy playing the drunken fool at first. Definately worth a read..... http://www.livejournal.com/users/jonathank...196.html#cutid1
  19. :roll: I'm speechless, this has to be a wind up. But also the reason that Omaha is an online cash cow ready for milking. There are thousands of players who think you only need to use one card. The amount of times some guy thinks he's been robbed because he had the nut flush while only holding the Ace is unbelievable. If only there was some vast fountain of information they could go to to get all the relevant rules and such. Somewhere only a mouse click away from the comfort of their own room, wait a minute..................
  20. If you're still a novice, why not start at the penny games? It doesn't do any harm to start at the lowest limits. I started my online BR with a $10 deposit and played penny games. You learn the basics, move up a bit and your BR should slowly build with your skill. I'm glad I did that rather than go straight ahead and deposit $100 to play the 0.10/0.25c games.Just a thought.
  21. J-9, A-J to a raise, 2-2 in EP.Agree with your assesment of K-T completely. I've even seen players reraise with that crap. Why?
  22. Hunter was fantastic. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is probably my favourite book ever. Also reccomend Kingdom of Fear which is kind of a biography, it tells stories of the capers he got up to.My favourite story about him is when he ran for sheriff of Aspen. He shaved his head completely bald and refered to his opponent, who had a crew cut, as the long haired hippy.The guy was a genius, R.I.P.
  23. The U.K. has recently got a T.V. channel dedicated to poker. They are showing the British open live. It would make sense with the popularity poker has these days to also show the WSOP and even some WPT events.
  24. No need for the edit I understood what you meant. The collusion statement is one I never thought about and is one I do agree with, TBH I was just after some clarification that other people would have done the same as me.
  25. That was pretty much what I did. It was a $200 game and I think he was playing beyond his BR. He was way to passive and after an easy ride to the money. Pretty much scared money and may explain the whining.
