As the topic says, yachtpoker is just a big site for donks with luck. Here I am, getting the best hands you can think of, AA, KK, QQ, AKs, AQs, TT and so on. So, I get these great hands, and the flop is 7/10 times in my favor. But some how, it always ends the same way: Some donk who either has more money then he know what to do with or who is just plain stupid comes along and beats my hand, and it ALWAYS happens on the river or, in some cases, he needs two cards to hit, and they both do on turn and river.
I'm usually not the guy who wines about getting bad beats but come on, this is just ridiculous! I mean, this one guy always called everything, no matter what his hand was, and somehow, he mastered everyones hand on the river. He lost a few small pots but as soon as the pot became big, he hit his lucky river.
Let me give you an example of what happened: I got pocket 3s (granted not a good hand but since I was on the big blind, I just check to see the flop), the flop comes out 393. Sounds great, right? So, this donk goes all-in and I was thinking "finally I'm gonna nail him!". But what happens? He shows 29 off suit. The turn comes out with a 9, and then the river with another 9. This was the worst of all bad beats, but it was the same on every table. For some reason, the people who actually showed some skill were the ones who got beaten real bad by the donks who went all-in with any A and random kicker, and in some cases even with 72.
Well, lets just say that I'm a bit upset about this and that I really needed to write this to get it out of my head! Now I can go to bed without getting a smaller aneurysm. Thanks for reading
Well some of you know i am very critical in judging online poker so i think its fair when i do think a sites software is good
Well i wanted to try out yachting poker (never played there) so when i got the 5 euro i logged in and the first thing i noticed was almost no traffic only some at micro no limit
To make a long story short i played about 2000 hands the last 2 days there all in micro But no magic rivers no weird poker feels so natural this software unbelievable.""
------------ I wonder if Remco has managed to lose his roll (again) and has maybe now decided that it IS rigged after all.. who knows.. I am guessing he generally loses his roll pretty quick.
Not the first time Ive experienced sessions like that (as above) there. In fact today was one of the worst experiences at the cash tables...more than normal. There's no escape cause the traffic is so low it's almost impossible to change tables...so one is stuck there eating s**t. Managed to recoup some of my roll at least. The other thing that frosts me is the 200 point weekly min to play freerolls...that's alot of losing for that previlige. I know it's a coincidence...I allowed a software upgrade today and this is what happened...same thing the last time there was a software upgrade....almost lost my roll that time also. I don't really care one way or the other...it's free money. I did make a deposit and withdrew some profit...hasn't been the same since.

I have won 100 at yachting with the 5 free
And i obviously didnt have the experience this guy had I found the cards to fall natural so lots of non pairs and just real poker just bluffing the others
But you have to believe someone when he says it....i believe him
Almost dont play poker online anymore because most of the time its to frustrating Rather play live poker in a casino or live casino online sometimes a little bit of online poker or slots
And JesstheHuman what do you know about my roll....and me losing it before ?? You dont know anything about how and how much i play for sometimes I have a constant roll mister because i have more ways to get cash i dont depend on gambling
Well to be more ontopic instead of having to react to the constant insults of people like JesstheHuman for example...
Well my experience was possitive but it was only a first impression of yachtingpoker
Maybe try it again sometimes but again online poker isnt my first gambling choice anymore

So even when you experience it for yourself that everything 'feels'right (and casual observation appears to be how you make your judgement) if one anonymous person loses his/her no deposit bonus and states the site is a fix; that's it, you're convinced!?

That's fantastic - FYI: It's called a job!
I have one too! Yay!
Has very little to do with your poker roll.. Anyone can have 'more ways to get cash' (i.e: work for it like everyone does) to apply to their 'bankroll'.

I was EXTREMELY on topic. Not only did I stick to the topic - I went to the effort of digging up an older thread I remembered reading and posted a link to an opposing view (now retracted lol) just so people could get a fair assessment of the site, from someone who had a different experience to OP (you btw).

You prefer the games that ARE actually fixed (ie: House edge).. Seriously - ironic.
So anyway- have you lost your roll at Yachting poker or what!?

Can you imagine being playing against Phil Ivey and win him? Or against Daniel Negreanu? If you don’t, then you just don’t know how to play, because everything is possible at the table. If you do, can you imagine what would be their thoughts after losing to an unknown micro/low stakes players? Do you think they would just say “donk’s got lucky”, or instead they would realize that, even if they had higher percentage of winning before the game begun, after that it’s 50-50. The definition of knowing how to play is to play well against the best and the worst, not just against the best.

please guys, don't start to argue here, that wasn't what I wanted when I started this thread.
anyway, as I said in the original post, I'm not usually one to complain about bad beats, I just found it annoying that every table that I played at, there was one guy who played every single hand, called everything no matter what he had, and still doubled up every single time.

was it me??? uhhcallmi???
because when i run good i give extra gas ...and did that on yachting as well, dominated the site for a week,,whenever i was at the tables or went all inn ,,everybody got scared..after playing rocksolid the days before...
things got messed up ,when i lost at there cashtables,, and i got tilted there,, went from good to bad to worse...
win,win,win,,,,bad,beat,bad beat,,,tilt....thinking all would come good ..and then boemm..
i hit monsters ,,others have better,,,so i have K-K run up against A-A,have K-K lose against A-x have Q-Q walk uppon K-K and yes ,this one i also lose..and so it was till bankrupt.
afew days later i realized ,,, my own fault ,,,
as soon as the good run ended,,i should addept my gameplay and play less wide,,protect my hands
instead i never backed of anyone reraising my hands,, result,,, = bankroll back to zero...
So i can't say it's yachtingpokersoftware that killed me ,,i killed myself... the same would happen on any other site i have played at,,,
and ''bad beat day'' i have experienced too many times on pokerstars as well, so should i decide all online poker is rigged???
or should i focus more ,,,and play more carefull..??
