Posted by Samarietis: jessthehuman , well as well you should look at that i played seriosuly last time at the start of the year ended up by loosing my starting bankroll at MTT , when i was more getting hands and better chances at Sit&Go , but now i started playing again last month , and now i am getting better chances to win at MTT not Sit&Go ...
As well you could look at my previous account - Samarietis , i can't get to play with him anymore , because someone stole it from me , as well as my old email and facebook account ... There is pretty good statistic and i am the same person who played that account ...
And in the end if you are interested you can look at the statistic of LaurisB1993 at another poker site iPoker , i started there with only 7 Euro and ended up with 28 Euro profit , but then there was changes in the reglament of iPoker and they didn't let me play anymore ...
I'm not that interested to look up any more. But it seems clear you're not a winning player. Especially when you point towards some old iPoker account where you once won 20E as evidence.

The old account is the one wich was stolen to me and it's a pokerstars account(Samarietis)
But iPoker account is a real one , just i had to stop playing there as the reglament didn't allow me to do that anymore ! As i see you are not even able to read the whole text , just take something out the context and want to write something down , as well offending other players seems legit for you ... If you are willing to get posts , then go to another subject !

I've looked it up, the account is not opted in but by calculations I get to0about 60-70€ profit in 3.7K games, not much, but small profit. Obviously if you are very small winner you will expirience larger swings than someone with a higher winrate. Whats the issue is that you play pretty low volume. The lower the volume, the longer (timewise) it will take to overcome swings.

BeMyATMplz , Yeah i guess i understand that , just it drives me crazy if i feel that the software or something els , is just not letting me to win , not that i am playing bad ...
Ended up quit bad , but hey atleast i got to the final table and some deeper cash , was in good shape to double up , but in the end didn't get there , maybe i should now try to double up my stack earlear , just so in the end i wouldn't end up like this - http://www.boomplayer.com/lv/poker-hands/Boom/9796865_4...

I read your whole text, what did I take out of context?

Posted by Samarietis: that the software or something els , is just not letting me to win
Look, I just get really upset when people start either blatantly stating, or even just alluding to, the software being rigged / fixed.
It is such a massive cop-out:
* I'm offended myself, because I'm someone who invested a lot of time (and money) into moving from being a losing player, to a break-even player, to a winning player. I understand just how tough Online poker is - not just beating other players, but beating the rake itself is extremely difficult. Having managed to do both (get ahead of the pack and make a profit after rake), I get offended when people make claims that undermine the effort I've put in.
* It shows a complete lack of willingness to take responsibility / accountability. This is a massive peeve I have with people in general - unwillingness to be accountable. I cannot stand when people can't just take ownership of their own actions / situation.
So yes - I can be rude / offensive. But only when someone is provoking that kind of response by refusing to accept reality and instead come up with crazy reasons why it isn't their fault.
All that said, reading through your posts in here. I give credit to you for not saying you're certain the software is fixed and you're showing a willingness to accept that you can have down-swings.
If you take that attitude - post hands that are difficult, ask for advice. Accept that poker can have horrendous downswings. And most of all - accept that online poker is incredibly tough to beat and that it's possible you may have slipped behind the curve and you're not quite making it (any more).
If you take the right attitude, with poker and with life. Then I'll be friendly and helpful.
But the moment I see a post along the lines of "Online Site XXX is fixed - I'm not winning" - I just get angry and depressed.

These are your words.. just, really - think about it. I've played poker for many, many years and online poker for around five years. I have NEVER uttered words along these lines. When I've been losing money, I accept that I'm not a winning player and I strive to improve.

just as i suspected... you're a fcukin sadomasochist
Posted by jessthehuman: *I cannot stand when people can't just take ownership of their own actions / situation.
well if you pooped just around the local supermarket since you didn't make it to the toilet... you shouldn't just go by taking ownership of that particular pile of crap... better say "dude this is not my sh/t, look it doesn't even match color of my eyes"
Posted by jessthehuman: So yes - I can be rude / offensive.
well that's what sadomasochism is all about, guess it's just in your blood
Posted by jessthehuman: If you take the right attitude... Then I'll be friendly and helpful.
kinda missing the point here... does someone have to be rude and offensive with you before you get friendly and helpful or vice versa?
Posted by jessthehuman: Online Site XXX is fixed
XXX sites are great, dunno was there there sth broken that needed to be fixed but i love them- hardcore, softcore, gangbangs etc.

jessthehuman , we all are spending a lot of time and money into poker in here , as we all are eather loving it or just like to play it , you don't even know how much time i have spended into poker , and i think i have done it a lot as well , maybe just more in playing then just coaching and learning , but in the end , we all do a lot of effort to be a lucky guy one day , atleast for a single day ...
------------ Well and this is akward , Have i changed my type of the game lately ? No .. But is something changed in the game and winnings ? Shure thing it have changed , i don't know why , but i even was able to 5 place in a 0.11 tournament at MTT , as well lately i won some cash in a SNG tournament where i made final table as well and now i feel that i am able to do it once more ?!?!?!
How you can explain that , if i haven't changed the type of my game , but i have started to win some cash not only give it away ? And i feel that i am able to do it more , atleast i think so , as i am having hands and they are winning ?

The game is constantly evolving. So if you haven't changed your game lately, maybe that is precisely the problem.
Maybe you're just having a downswing, have you tried using tracking software to see if you're meeting you expected value?
There's a million other things to consider/explore - before thinking about some insane conspiracy theory.

jessthehuman , do you even read what i am writting ? I AM WINNING now , but i haven't changed enything in the type of my game ... Besides of that i am even getting lucky in some dead situations , remember one -
Flop 8 6 7 flop , I have 99 in big blind i have called min raise when there is two players ... Both of them check the flop , i make a raise of 1/3 of pot , the guy after me goes all and he is covering me , the other guy folds , i go all in as i think i am in a lead and if not i still have cards to come ... Hand opens he haves AA , damn i think that is a loose ... And then comes a 9 and turn K ... I win with my three of a kind !
On Jokerstars I felt something like you... , I think you have to change to an other site but if you feel similar on the new site then think over your tactic.

Well it seems i was wrong about winning , it was just fue tournaments where they did let me get some decent hands with some luck in thoses , after that they again started to do ugly things like loosing every pare over tens and highter , from time to time as well can't win a flip with 88 vs Akicker ...

You really should take the chance to post some difficult hands and get some advice from jessthehuman and the others here who totally know what they are talking about.
That is just invaluable.
And way more useful than suggesting 'they' either let you or don't let you win.
To all this i can only ask one question and it is - Why do i keep loosing coin flips when i have the best hand ? As simple as it is , nothing more , just one question , witch i would like to hear answer ...
Or maybe i should continue with posting my hands where i should probably win most of the time , but no as i am playing at Pokerstars , where the software chooses who will win ? http://www.boomplayer.com/lv/poker-hands/Boom/9838481_5...
