I am a 6max player, often doing many tables at a time.
I hate it when a pro HU player comes in for quickie. I dont grim you guys. But I sure feel like it sometimes. I would prefer enforced an even number of games when HU, unless broke or quitting oop.

What does "anon" means?

anonymous

This would suggest you are sitting alone at 6 max tables looking for action. Don't sit at empty tables if you are not going to start games and definitely don't grim the guys which are getting your 6 max tables started


Anon HU is a horrible idea. One of the great things about poker is establishing reads on an opponent you can then later use to your advantage.

I disagree here somewhat:

How are you getting reads on people that wont even sit with you because they know you sc name??...infact how are you getting reads sitting with no action most of the time??

Playing anon isnt hard imo, your reads are built in game, the way they should be vs people you have played previous, previous history is over-rated imo, esepc hu.

Times have changed in online poker, imo the way the games are presented must change also.

I agree anon can encourage more action at lower stakes. But I for one don't feel 100% comfortable playing mid-high HU games where I don't know the name/location of opponent.

Also encourages scummy behaviour such as grimming/Hit and running cos no one gives a **** about ethics when your name is hidden.

Unless I reached my table max. Then I am happy to start a 6max table with an other 6max player, who is playing 6max already.
But please, no freaking way, you can get me to be pujo food for HU pro who is unable to get action in his own environment.

I think you are perfectly within your rights to deny some players HU action when starting 6m tables. It's a far better thing to do than sitting watching the lobby and waiting for a fish to sit so you can get the god seat.

Id still argue people are idiots for not starting tables with a good reg. Don't stress out and just play a reasonable solid game and you won't lose much at all, especially not if you tank every decision to bring down the h/hour a bit until a third player sits. This is no fun for the other guy but certainly better than a bunch of regs and fish staring at an empty lobby.

The quality of the games you start waaay offsets the small bb/100 you might lose while HU unless you're completely incompetent against both regs and fish.

Regs are idiots and cost themselves EV in all kinda of ways. This way may cost them but certainly cost you, so you bitch about it.

It effects the fish in no way, so it's a minor concern and nothing more imo.

Ahhh see your point now, hadnt thought of the implications of playing high stakes, with respect to that

Just been playin NL50 as the clock struck midnight. I won a hand and it gave the other player his money back WTF. software is going crazy all over. I played now to catch all the pisshead. WHAAAAAAATTTT!

Anyone know how I upload an image from my desktop, **** is goin nutz!!! I just replayed the hand in HM2 and it even showed the guy getting his money back.

The whole software seems to have gone crazy at midnight, first every pot I won got returned to the other players, then the tables stop working and now my cash that I played wit is all gone.............:-(

You should ask the site for a copy of the rules. Similar happened for me 10 years ago at an other site. The reason was this was omaha and I was supposed to use 2 cards from my hand. No more, no less. Always a good idea to know the rules.

Yeah that happened to me once a few years ago where i was all in pre with KK against AK and the board ran out with four 2's. I went nuts when he shipped the pot and wrote an abusive email to ipoker only to feel like a donk 5 minutes later when they explained the rules of NLHE to me.

ahh the ones i can rememeber at the moment were - ufakinnit, raybanglasses, letsshovepre

get rid of autopost obv

Got this manually off at Stars. Who gets the button, Stars support says is a draw. I still get grimmers coming to my tables.

if i join a hu table i pretty much always 3bet the first hand if on the bb....feels better when they sit out having lost 2 or 3 bb's instead of stealing mine. lol

OMG I know the fu*king rules I have over 2million hands played. I got a response but apparently the hands that were played over midnight all went nuts and because of that the players just got refunded what they had invested in any pot.
For the record I was playing 50NLH I held JdQd and by the river the board shower Kd9d8d6h10c and the other guy held Ks10d. That would mean that I had a flush and he had 2 pairs. I am fully aware that a flush beats 2 pair.
I didn't have the rules wrong and WH are refunding me due to their server issues. HM2 showed the chips being refunded as that's how the hand was written from the client to the local folder. If anyone else had the same problem just pull the hands from your database and email your support for a refund. I assume they'll sort it out.

Unless the board pairs and villian has a full house. Always good to keep in mind when playing and making a flush.

Do you guys also think ipoker speed poker is just to fast? You have so less time to think. I play 3 tables but I have enough situations I just timed out premium hands preflop because I was to late.
How many tables do you guys play ?

Same thing happened to me. Got AI vs fish and held (all board cards were dealt). Then the system gave back all the money in the pot (ie the fish got his money back). Weird that you were credited for their f*ck-up because they told me the hand was voided, tough luck and won't give me my winnings from the hand. Umm... really?

For anyone playing speed poker how do we voice the need for a timeback or just giving us 30 seconds to act like regular games rather than this 10 second thing. You really don't have time to customise your bet size cause cause your afraid from being timed out?

Games rarely run above 100 nl and I think this is why we need time to act and make a decison.

is the ipoker lagging for you? I get constant dc
