Some of you guys talks a lot about bad beats like if the "site" creates the bad beats specially for you. Come on , do you really believe that certain sites wants to fu.. with you and only you ? No way, if many bad beats appears at some tables it probably means that there is sitting bad players, calling stations, that follow your raise with a call and a call again and finally gets lucky. Mathematically you'll win in the long run,against this players if you play solid poker. So stop talking about certain sites with lot of bad beats. Gl to you all, see you at the tables !

Who say anything about sites creating bad beats for you? No one think that, and yes there is alot of calling stations. It doesent change the fact that there is alot of bad beats

Tuppkam,
I agree 100%. Now, the only thing that can make a site not as good as other maybe would be payment options, players online, design, table options and so on...
Other then that, like I said... never seen a winning player complain about the same site from which he wins. If the bankroll´s strong... no comment.

Yes, but if you play on a site you know has lot of "calling stations" (and "bad beats" . Isn't that only good thing for you? You just have to adjust your play. Don't bluff too much and make big raises when you really have something

Yes i know what you mean. But no one gets away from a bad beat, and some places i see it more often that other places. Im not talking about 3 games everyday. Im talking about 8 hours poker straigh 4-5 days a week for the last weeks. And some places have crazy bad beats. Its not just on me, i make them too But people also play diffrent each place

Etna, if you play that much you should of course know that the higher and faster the number of hands you play, the more often you will see those "bad beats".
Come on, If everyone called, raised, re-raised, went all in whenever they have a premium hand... poker would be boring.
And guess what, you can´t lose if you know for sure that you have the best possible game on the board. If you don´t then there´s always a possibility of losing. It sucks but it happens!

Good points there thefodz. Bad beats appears at every site. The randomrules decides when, where and how often.The frequency increases with many "stupid calls" It has nothing to do with the site itself, only the randomfactor and the number of "stupid calls" at that specific table at that specific time you happens to play there. But of course, if the circumstances makes you lose with bad beats 3 times in a row, it easy to dislike that particular site at the moment but that kind of "thinking"is b******t Gl and keep posting !

good luck
I dont know what you are trying to tell me. Ive read it 10 times now and i see no sense in that compared to what i said.. I said those sites have more bad beats than other sites ive been on, i also said people play diffrent ways each place. And there is a reason its called "bad beat"
But of course, if the circumstances makes you lose with bad beats 3 times in a row, it easy to dislike that particular site at the moment but that kind of "thinking"is b******t
You need to read before posting b******t yourself.. I never said the bad beats on those sites i mention was on ME ONLY. I actually said i made them myself too. Again, i still see them more often than any other site IVE been on and played regulary.

My experience with T6 poker. DONT they cancelled 4 tournaments while in progress. I have a small bankroll there won in freeroll but thats it. no more t6 tourneys they seem to have some fetish on canceling tournaments 10 minutes after they start. And biggest downside from my point of view noone plays Limit holdem and i mean nobody. havent seen a single person sitting at the limit tables.

The pokersite I will never ever play again is Duplicate Poker. When you sign up for the site, you receive a 3$ no depositbonus. Nothing wrong about that, I made 100$ out of it. But then suddenly, I can't logging anymore because they say: "It has come to our attention that there has been some questionable activity on your account". The questionable activities must have been winning, because I really don't know what they are talking about. I send an e-mail back for further information, but never got any answer till now ( 7 days later). Well, there's my story, don't play duplicate ,,

I requested the free bankroll for Ladbrokes so I'm going to give it a try.
As for Pitbull I can recommend the $ 1000 guaranteerd R&A tourney. Never more than 20 people. Good value for money. Deposited $ 100 and after two tourneys had $ 600.
I always run bad at Pokerstars. But that's just me I guess
