Just wanted to tell you my PKR story, I am so frustated right now then sorry, but this is so unbelievebal what is going on there. Okey, got my pkrbonus from here, won about 25 bucks then playd some sit and go-s and soon I have about 70 bucks, everithing seems nice. but today.. I have lost it all and listen how.. Unfortunality I dont have the poker hands history, but maybe post it here later. But all may losses was on the river.. about 90% of them and 80% of them was all in pre or postflop. and everytime there was about 2-7% change that the opponents is going to win and ofcourse that happened. In this site the theory of probability is not working like we study in schools, honestly. and this not happened like some games, but today all the time.. I played 3 and 5 buy in sit and gos.. I have played poker for years and usually I finished in money 6/10 and first place 3/6 smt. like that. and it was the same in pkr on my first day, statistica works fine and didnt lie. but today.. it was so unbelievebal, I will give you some examples: I had big blind and hold K8 nobody dident bet and I checked, the flop was 898 one guy rised and I went all in, he holds 8Q, ofcorse the river was Q. I had 1010 and hit another 10 on flop and opponent needs only 2 on the table to beat me to hit his stright and ofcourse the last card was 2, I hold AJ and 3 players was left, first 2 places got money and one player has disconnected, he has about 75 chips left, me and another opponent has about 3000 chips, then flop come 33J the another who as the same stack like me was very loose player.. and we went all in.. and hi doesent have anything but beat me on the river, and ofcourse this guy who was disc. have AA and better hand.. and I finished on 3th place with nothing.. last sit and go with last money I finished on 3th place again If I had K7 and flop was 727, the opponents hold 22 ofcourse I didnt won any.. cos I got bad beat on every game what I have played today. What you think about pkr?
but yeah: the fish is the most horrible out there. folks lured by fancy 3D grafix and the slower gameplay make games superloose.
thats an advantage usually, but you might have to adjust your game in a way that you do not like. you also need to be prepared to take bigger swings and much more badbeats IMO.
so a 70 $ bankroll to play 3 and 5 $ SNGs might not be enuff; even tho it maybe worked out for you elsewhere. i wouldnt play bigger then 1 $ on PKR until i have 100 $ at least.
i hope you stop being frustrated soon. you lost nothing there and hopefully had at least some fun. good luck!
Sometimes seems like someone had fun to give you loser cards.. even when you should win In these cases, after playing 2 or 3 sngos, I prefer to stop, to say some bad words and to do something else

today my chops dropped at a small limit table.. ( 0,05/0,10 ) and my opinion got affirmation... you cant play poker on low limits there... the people call with crap and win with crap... sitting CO with AA and raising from the 0,10 limpers ( 2) to 0,80... i got 1 call... and got my beat.... flop was 68K and what did the limper held? K6o! how can the player call my raise with k6o? after sitting out some hands later i chatted with an othe player... and he was the same opinon and playing for fishing the low limits, but its really unplayable

Yeah, I've just tried PKR a few times. Will play more there when I finish a bonus. Played the tickets i got for free. And then some cashgame 10nl. I was like totally drunk, had no idea of what I was doing. Woke up the next morning, and to my surprise there was about 50 dollars on my PKR-account. Usually I lose when Im stupid enough to play in such a state. But at PKR it may work. Because of the slow gameplay?

probably you won with K6 against somebodys AA... or you won against K6 with an K8...
dunno how bad you actually play when you are in that mindset
