ghehe that is not only on action poker there are so many sites where that happens but that is poker this s**t also happens in live poker, for example when you go into a casino there are always a few donkeys who get lucky in the begining but see it as this you are better on the long term you just had 1 or 5 moment of bad luck your luck will turn and you get them back next time
True words dude!!!! its my opininion too. played 2 days there, and was afraid of raising big pockets or bet on top pair + top kicker!!!! at least i´ve lost everything against 1 BIG FISH who sucks me 3 times out in a row! he just played like this donkeys you described!!! unbelievable calls and the win on river! thats unreal!

How can u complain about bad players ? They are +EV to play against over time, and over alot of hands. That is if you play better then they do. If you do play the same, you can just be angry about yourself. The thing with pokerplayers, exept from all other "sports" is that we are looking for as esay match as possible. And if you can`t beat bad players, how can you beat players who are good ?
I got one word for you: FAIL!
Ha ha ha FAIL. mmmm I dont think so, like i said i have been a successful poker player over the past 5 years. I think you have missed the point completely. I still have my bankroll at Action, hell it is growing. All i am saying if you read the posts is that out of all the rooms Ive played at Action seems to be the worse.
Its helpful if you read all the posts before implying I am a failure lol.
Plus your argument that poker is the only sport we look for the poor players is nonsene. when I use to play soccer we looked forward to playing the poor teams so we could stuff them. Most poker players would prefer to play against good players who respect there raises and dont bust your aces by calling all in with 102 os lol
i'm just gonna start playing on Action poker and i have toured the site and i find that i like the graphics and layout very much ,i have also noticed as you say that there seems to be a traffic shortage but hoping that changes .All the rubbish about how others play is just you being a bad loser and makes me wonder how you have been playing for to make another player think he was gonna win with what he had ,depending on how you have been playing then maybe he thought you had fu** All,in this instance you had rockets but if you have been overbluffing yourself then serves you right maybe

Someone else who doesnt know what they are talking about. I am such a bad loser that my free 40$ bankroll is now at $100. Its got absolutely nothing to do with overbluffing javascript:void%20Indsaetsmiley(' ')
being a bad loser doesnt imply that you are not succesfull you nerd what it means is that you are the typ of player who is only happy when what you try is successful and when anyone has success against you when they have tried something unorthadox its because in your opinion they are bad players..ie only happy when people play the way you want them to play so you can take money off them ....grow up and accept your defeats like a pokerplayer instead of winging about how bad others are when you get beat ......you obviously done something to make this player think you were bluffing or else he wouldnt have been in there.....given your approach to debate i would vote you had been overplaying and he stayed with you ,ok you had rockets this time but what was your play preivious to this ,i wonder thats all " nothing about weather you are successfull or not ,try leaving your ego out of the debate

Fair play, we all have opnions, I think the real problem lays in the fact that you have 2 tables to choose from(per limit), so all the bad players(and good) have to sit together, on outher sites when you get an over donked table you can leave and join anouther 1. If you have say 4 bad players at the table there will be a lot of suck outs. But when i went back i seen a lot of players who was on there ages ago so I guess not all leave after a few suck outs, but in fact think in time ill be rewarded. As for the examples iv seen a lot worse on pokerstars and full tilt, I think you blame the site but you should blaim the players, and if they are all bad, then HAPPY DAYS.
Hey B1gfoot finnaly got the action pokerbonus as it has been made available to UK players again ....lokking farward to playing all those bad players and increasing the bankroll

Yea i'll definatly have fun and yes i hope to play some $1,$2,or $3 NLsng 10 seater tourneys hope to get enough traffic to accomodate that ,i'll also play the lower ring games ..........in this post i was just saying that sometimes a way a player can respond sometimes is a reflextion on how you yourself have been playing and not just because they are bad players ,sometimes you will be a victim of your own style of play and shouldnt immediatly assume it always because of bad play

Sam good luck playing on Action. Then when you have experience on this site you can make comments about the style of play. You are talking about something you have had no experience of. I am a tight and aggressive player, very rarely bluff in a cash game and just try and play solid poker. The examples I used had only to do with donkeys calling and nothing to do with my style of play. How would you know anyway lol. You will see trust me.
By the way for all those that are trying to imply I am moaning cause I am either a bad player or a failure or need to grow up as you put it -

I found one solution to these suckouts and it is working, for me at least. FL tables only until I can play on limits where there are less bad players. On FL you can always control amount in the pot, unless there is a "donk fest" and entire table is raising in which case I leave immediately. No suckouts and with little effort, if site has enough players, there is always a good game where you can get more pleasure then on low limit NL tables. Not getting nervous about someone else`s bad play, only two factors, RNG and my play. My opinion on Action Poker is the same as majority here, not enough players and samgamgee you will find many people to take them for their money if you can stand occasional stupid calls no matter what you do or how you play it, tried being tight as hell raising only when I got something and still there is always 1 or 2 players calling with crap. Lottery if you ask me, but give it a try, I am positive on tables there but my worst nightmare got me, Casino. I could not wait for tables and ended up playing in casino. Offtopic, thats why I decided to give Pokerstars a try recently, no casino there.

Yep. If you can't stand the swings at no limit try fixed limit. If you receive a bad beat there it won't cost that much. But prepare yourself for even more beats, cause people are chasing even more then in no limit. And they usually don't make a huge mistake doing so.

True about chasing. When I see that someone is hard core chaser I may decide to let him chase it for free on turn and if he hit or tries to bluff it is still cheap call, pot is already big enough to justify the call unless I am certain that he really is not bluffing.

Hi sorry to bother everyone but action poker is the WORST POKER site ever, and i would rather play poker with my baby bro who is 5 because at least i know he has the littlest incline of what poker is. i played action poker for a short period of time, i went up to $135 ll on a cash game, i just took out the "DEPITY" earning myself $12.50 which i would recive the next day, i had KK under the gun with 5 played on the table. i rasie to $3 (blinds are 25,50) i get a re raise from the chip leader (he has about 160) and he re raised to $12. i flat called so if an ace comes i can get away, the flopcame 4,8,10 all off suit he comes out betting thepot and i flat call, next card comes a 2 and he bets pot, i raise all in and he calls wi 4,2 an wins. the next day i get my $12.50 and build it up to $60 and get QQ on the BB. same blinds and some1 raises to $3 with 2 callers i re raise to 15 and only one person calls. The flop came 2,9,10 all rainbow, he bets pot i re raise all in and he calls with KQ off-suit, hes only chance was a J or a K and he hit hes J on the river and left the table.
Why muct people pay like this, it really ruins poker in my opinion, i will admit i have been lucky before but never would i play like the stupid idoits on that poker site. if you are planning on depositing for the BRM freeroll mke sure you deposit the minimum because i can garentee you wont make you bounus because the idiots on that site will do anything to win, good luck to all people who attempt this site and may the poker gods be with you because you will need them to survive the brutal fish on that site.
Posted by shokaku: First, and most important. DON'T TAKE YOUR WHOLE MONEY TO ONE TABLE!!! One beat, and the show is over.
If you are holding KK and face a reraise, don't call. Raise it up. You are way ahead of the possible holdings of your opponent.
QQ is only a 2:1 favorite to KQ on a T92 flop. He has 7 outs on two streets. There was to much money in the pot already, he could not fold.
This man brings reason to your misgivings about supposedly bad players and i think is right about you not reraising costing you the hand

Sam I salute you.javascript:void%20Indsaetsmiley(' ') I didn't know we had a professional in our mists. I think you show your true colors by having to refer to me a pr*ck. Yes I have only made $80 but that is only in a week. How long did it take you to make $600. Also if you are going to act all grown up please try and spell correctly. You have made the spelling mistakes of a 5 year old in your posts. My web page has lines all over it under the mistakes lol. It doesn't give you much credibility. You made this personal not me. Again I look forward to seeing your success on Action. I repeat what I said earlier, don't comment on a site that you have not even played on. It does make you look rather silly. I await your further name calling and overall immaturity. javascript:void%20Indsaetsmiley(' ')
