My Poker Goals

Just finished another session, small setback, ended with BR of 949.31. Lost one buy-in. Will relax and maybe fire up the tables again in a bit.
 
What sites do you guys play on? I thought a couple years back the FBI was seizing online poker sites. How do you know your money is safe with them?
 
Played 10 sng's and was down 15% overall.

Some terrible suck outs on the river.

I was in the final two in two sng's and lost AK for A10 and lost jj vs. 33
 
I just stick to black jack.

It's the only game where i can comfortably make money.
 
921.64 for the day, exhausted. Might sleep then gonna go again. Keep grind on the mind!?

Do you find the sng's there are pretty soft?

Yes. Every time I would be the first to join a table it would quickly fill up. This is totally sketchy how it's completely dead until I join. Leads me to believe it's a bunch of bots that work for the site.

Out $500

I've never had a river run of suck outs like this rigged site in my life.

I was 0-2 with AA all in pre flop. 0-2 with KK pre flop and 0-2 with QQ

I lost 90% of all in's post flop as a definitive favorite.

Sounds more like you're the fish they're looking to exploit.
And lol @ calling a multi billion dollar industry rigged because you lost some hands as the favourite.
 
903.33 after playing some this morning. Having trouble breaking 1,000 mark but I will be on it through this weekend!

Since you are a 11 year old girl and don't play poker for real money, I'll give you some advice for when you grow up.

There were many sites busted for cheating, AbsolutePoker and Ultimatebet among them. Additionally, due to US regulations the few sites left have limited players that can collude. Ask your parents to get you some info...

Whew, just ended a session up and I now have a bankroll of 977.79. Looks like I might even be able to break $1,000 before the weekends over!
 
Finally, was able to break 1k before the weekend is over.

Bankroll now at 1,015.83 as of today.

I started on April 13, 2013 with $500.00.

The last 8 days have been good, let's see how the next 8 days go. They also have a promotion for points started on the 22nd that will give you money for points acquired playing and drawing into a VIP prize package to Vegas. I'll definitely put some hands in for that, and yes I'm still looking to hit $2,000.00 as a goal.

Wish me luck guys!

Yeah, wow, so much fail in this post. First, simply because an industry is lucrative and has wealthy investors doesn't mean that it is a sound business. If you don't understand that this has been proven repeatedly throughout history, then I have two things for you in exchange for one thing you'll have for me; I'll give you both a Time Machine and the coordinates to jump back in time to meet my friend Charles Ponzi; you'll give me all your money. He'll give you double what you gave me. That's how it works. Don't be suspicious; it's all it takes for this to be a multi-billion dollar business is a few billion from you, and you seem like the type to jump.

Second, I don't even play Poker, but I caught the massive government breakup of FullTiltPoker.net. My favorite Poker to watch was the Poker After Dark show; sometimes I'd catch it to unwind after a night of work back when I still tended bar. Many of the most highly rated players in the world appeared regularly, including Howard Lederer, Chris Ferguson, and Jennie Harman. All three were founding members of FTP. Not surprisingly, Poker After Dark was sponsored by Full Tilt Poker, and also not surprisingly, after all of FTP's financial malfeasance and potential insolvency were published, Poker After Dark stoppped showing in my area. Thousands of Americans were swindled for a sum totaling in the billions (I think in the 15-25 range). FTP has committed to repay them, but that will be an inherited risk from future profits as FTP wasn't lawfully handling the money transactions on the site.

This is all on their Wiki page, btw:

I didn't say there's no cheating going on, but it's ridiculous to think that everything is rigged, especially when you base that mostly on variance.
I didn't read the link he posted, but I know sites have done illegal stuff and I even know players who've done illegal stuff.

I've cheated as well. It was 4 years ago and it was for 5 bucks and I only did it once, but I did cheat.
THe players cheat, and it's rarely the sites.

What Ray Bitar and co. did was awful, but that had little to do with poker. They just took money. It wasn't in-game cheating.

That's very different Madmick, the situation that johnny2fists is talking about is just on actual game play on the site. The situation you're talking about in regards to "Black Friday" for online players in the US is very different as well.

The FTP fallout is corruption at the highest level in a company and johnny2fists is talking about bad luck. It's not the same thing.
 
Ended another session today with 1063.34, and I'm feelin' good being over halfway to my 2k goal.

Being a CPA and well versed in statistics I can tell you what I experienced two days ago was far from luck. I had 6 different all in's on different table as the last 2 or 3 in a SnG and I was 72% plus in all of them either pre flop or post flop and lost them all.

You can't be convinced that the players at the tables are controlling the RNG's to determine cards can you? If so, how would you explain my progress on the site? (No E-brag)
