Just moved up to NL10 and just lost 2 buy-ins in the space of 5 minutes.
Am I not good enough for this level? Playing poorly? Unlucky?

gizmo01:
- First hand is played badly. You want to be re-raising preflop with QQ there a lot (maybe 80% of the time). And not sure what you were doing on the turn - did you think you had the best hand? Or was it intended as a bluff? In any case, not sure what a min check-raise out of position is going to achieve. River call is fine.

- Second hand I can't see what you have.

- Third hand is played fine, though I would raise bigger on the flop - a re-raise of pot would have been better. You just got unlucky.
 
Yep, third hand is a cooler. First hand you want to threebet with QQ, and probably bet a bit more on the flop with three spades on board.

As I look back now I'm not sure why I didn't 3-bet there. I normally do but it may have been the unusually big raise. Min-Raise was a sort of semi-bluff, was pretty sure he didn't have an ace and in any case I believed my hand was good there anyway.

Second hand I had Aces.

I was ****ed by this stage whether I won the hand or not - whatever. An observation rather than a vent, but how many times does this seem to happen (especially late/final table such as this):

Short stack gets something big, yet big stack prevails

Bigstacks cop their fair share of bad beats, but because they don't get knocked out it's less painful. They are being paid in to call the short stack more than anyone else.

The only interesting thing from this hand is how you ended up so low. I'm very intrigued.

Yeah its a nothing hand, its standard, they are getting odds ect. ect. But yeah I posted cause I have just noticed particulary on the final table, it seems very short stacks will always lose with their monsters, even heads up as though its just to start reducing the numbers. (Yeah its all random, but just an observation, and wondering if anyone noticed if this is common on final tables)

As for the stack, lost in the BB, let the SB go, and then I was ****ed...
 
Hehehehe, that's abysmal.

Yes you're right, letting the SB go while short-stacked was abysmal. What makes it even more abysmal is the fact that I play poker simply for recreational purposes and am an average player. The most abysmal aspect of the whole thing though was in this particular game, I was mostly donking through it in the background while playing with my kid. ZOMG!!!

You'll probably disgree cause I have some pretty 'out there' views as you well know, but if I was to use the term abysmal, it would probably moreso relate to someone who sits in front of a computer, and (for lack of a better word) stalks a poster (a stranger no less)

I am sure at least 75% of your posts on the poker board in the last 6 months+ is relating to something I post. Does this honestly not bother you?

The good (or bad) news for you is that you wont have to read my dribble again for a fair while. I'm taking an indefinate ban on all things poker (including this site) as of tonight to enjoy some time with my newborn.

Came 17th for $18.27, but that ace doesn't hit and I'm pretty good odds to make FT, for $45 and above.

I don't know how he can put his tournament life at stake with A/J.... but alas, he wins.

Rather like the $2.25 rebuy where I got knocked out with JJ, called by Q/9. Some people make really shitty calls.

Dear Mr Carter,

We regret to inform you that your account has been closed for security purposes and will remain closed permanently. After careful analysis of your game play our risk team have made this decision based on high risk play on the site.

We thank you for your patience whilst we have handled your query. Should you require any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards,

Your PokerRoom.com Customer Service Team

What does "after careful analysis of your game play" even mean? What's how I play got to do with anything? Seriously wtf bwin? That's got to be the biggest piss weak reason to block someones account. I have zero ****ing clue why you have blocked my account, seeing how it is now banned permanently - for no *****ing apparent reason, can you just state in clear english speaking terms so that even a group bloody chipmunks (ie. your support team) could understand and tell me exactly why the ***k it was blocked.

I also lost $400-$500 worth of tournament tickets which were registered for GSOP events/during the time of GSOP. I was obviously unable to play these seeing how you blocked my ****ing account. I believe I also had one or two other tournament tickets in my account yet to be used. I'd like a full refund of every cent that was lost in tournament tickets to be loaded into my account ASAP.

And one more thing, how the ***k am I supposed to ****ing withdraw the funds in my account if I can't even log in? I thought it would be standard procedure to at least let me log into my account so that I can withdraw my funds. I shouldn't have to send you apes a bloody email to get you off your ****ing arses and actually get you to do your damn job for a change. For ***s sake bwin this is an absolute joke, you keep me in the dark for 3 weeks about my account and even told me that it would be unblocked by Friday and now you come out and do the exact opposite, absolute joke of a support team and a poor ****ing excuse for a website/business. I actually rely on the money made from poker to make a living so this has really put me in the shit for the past couple of weeks, another satisfied customer bwin. Great job. I hope you're proud. Just do me one favour for being a good, loyal customer and get what I asked for done quickly and right for a change. I'm sure that's not too much to ask.

Kind Regards,
Cartman121

Just gave these idiots a ring on their hotline trying to get access to withdraw my funds and the money back for the loss of tickets. Some idiot tells me that there is no money in my account and that I wasn't registered for any tournaments during the time that my account was blocked. This is just complete and utter ****ing bullshit. ****ing hate this site so ****ing much. My account and my money has been blocked/lost for no ****ing reason wotsoever and yet under their terms and conditions they have the right to do it all. Absolute ****ing joke. But don't worry, it has all been past on to the relevant department and I will receive a response within 3 days. :rolleyes: :mad:
 
wow....I was going to post about losing KKK on a four x 3s (turn/river).....but I think I'll just say - find a way to prove it, take them down.
 
Also, go to 2+2 and post the complete story there (leaving out the expletives). Many poker sites will pay attention to 2+2 and are aware that bad publicity there is not good for them. You might also find out if this has happened to anyone else.

Very strange, I'm guessing someone must have alerted you to "the authorities"?

Why would they be bothered about your "high risk play"? I'm still laughing that they apparently have a "risk team" :D

You're right about the "terms and conditions", I think you're screwed there...
 
Declaring this hand the worst I've had due to the circumstances.
This guy has played 80 hands.
He plays 96% of hands. He has lost over $60 dollars in those 80 hands. He is running at -500BB/100 hands. He calls down with third pair regulary. All I need is one good hand and I double up easily.
And then this...

I shouldn't have to send you apes a bloody email to get you off your ****ing arses and actually get you to do your damn job for a change. For ***s sake bwin this is an absolute joke, you keep me in the dark for 3 weeks about my account and even told me that it would be unblocked by Friday and now you come out and do the exact opposite, absolute joke of a support team and a poor ****ing excuse for a website/business. I actually rely on the money made from poker to make a living so this has really put me in the shit for the past couple of weeks, another satisfied customer bwin. Great job. I hope you're proud. Just do me one favour for being a good, loyal customer and get what I asked for done quickly and right for a change. I'm sure that's not too much to ask.

Kind Regards,

That's a vent!

Good luck with that by the way.
