great start because i am really fed up with not being able to play real poker. I get so tilted losing to these shorty morons. I would say to Ipoker that instead of following all the other sites they should man up and makes some changes BEFORE other sites do. EVERYONE knows that having a 20bb min buy in is beyond stupid and is really hurting the games. Party Poker is now a real option again for everyone and they are back to 3rd in terms of player volume. This is inspite of what i used to think was their poor software.

I am also happy to talk to the owners of my skin but really guys this needs to be a concerted effort. A massive campain by all us regulars to show that we demand change. i mean if we could get 30 to 50 regulars who rake 5k PM that is a fair chunk of change - never mind the real sickos like chirpy or Goat.

I also realise thet we poker players ar inherently lazy so that is why i suggest we set up a pro forma style e-mail that we can all agree on and then INDIVIDUALLY send it to them (over and over if needs be) untill our demands are met. Including how much we rake etc and also that Party is Offering us Euro players an alternative etc.

Seriously... LETS DO THIS FFS!!!!!

PTR on ipoker is really unaccurate.

I remember 1 day i looked on there and one of my names came up as being down $25k. I was like wtf and logged in quick thinking id been hacked or something lol. Turns out it just gave me a bunch of hands from fun132 vs sikonatti or something.

It might be slightly more accurate for 6 max im not sure but for heads up at least it seems to miss the last hand of the match or something. The last hand is generally the hand where someone gets stacked and quits so pretty important lol.

Also 50bb tables make sense. If a fish buys in $2/4 for $80 the chances are if he had no choice he would buy in for $200. If however thats the last $80 in his account then he goes to 50c/1 with it instead and that makes them games better. The $2/4 games get filled with the $5/10 and $10/20 shortys then etc.

Could just follow FTP and make all tables 35bb minimum including HU tables. That would be awesome.

YUP... so you on board to then?

sure why not

My RB affiliate, who's also a friend of mine, knows the admin of the poker side of VC. Can try and have him have a chat with them bosses about it. Shortstackers are definitely a problem on iPoker right now.

i agree,i actually have all non 50 bb tables filtered out,but unfortunately once i've done that,and even playing across 3 different stakes,i still have to play more on other sites just to get enough games,and i only play 6 to 8 tables.

Can someone tell me how € balance works on ipoker when you play on $ tables, i heard you loose money like this, can someone confirm and explain how it works ?

you get a slighty worse rate when you leave the table as you get when you join it.

Like 1.3678 when you join the table and 1.3589 when u leave. (Don't know the exact numbers)

man, that's gonna have a serious effect on your winrate.

Can someone provide more accurate examples and are you all using $ balances?

I am down for anything that get rid of the f**king shorties i can barely find 2 tables atm wi less than 3 on, its redic , i play euro/gbp tables too so there no 50bb option.

I play every 50bb min table there is available but those are simply not enough. I have to open regular tables and it's a constant fight against ratholers... I mean, I join a table that has at most 2 shorties, but a few minutes later more of them come and I have to leave. Rinse and repeat

Quick question. Do iPoker run $2/$5 NLH/PLH games? I was told they did, but only see € and £ 2/5.

Cheers

not that ive seen they jus have £ and euro for 2/5 !

again, - Will iPoker ever have option to turn off "Table Auto Pop-up" ?

I almost choked on my coffee when I read this... But fortunately you are mistaken:

mh seems now that i was wrong ... maybe u have to play some hands before it.

I just checked it once some time ago, maybe they changed it ?

EDIT: But it is definitely not the reuters rate you get

confession

i used to post int his section a lot, i dont anymore because.....

one night in december 2008, i got wasted on drugs and booze, came home at 2am, played for the next 16 hours solid, off my tits, and lost 30k. i plucked up the courage to have a look at the trainwreck of hands about 3 months later and i was playing 70/50/20.

i spent the rest of decmber chasing the loses, spewing around, and broke even for the rest of the month

so i crapped my pants in jan 09, the 30k losses distorted my perception and i thought id become a losing player, and decided to steady the ship by playing FR, dropping 2 or levels to 1/2 and 2/4, and cap games on ftp(which are very soft but dont suit my style)

the result was, in 09, my winrate was decimated but i couldnt see it at the time, i thought that this was the way forward, and 5/10 100bb poker was beyond my ability. gettng pissed and coked up one night distorted my mental state basically, semi permanently

the end result was, last year, i earned roughly the same as the year before(bit less) but played 2-3 times as many hands at lower stakes, and shallow stacked all because of one stupid decision

i dont really know what my point is herw, but i suppose its this......its really easy for the wheels to fall of the cart. i look at some peoples ptr and see they have done similar(and prob have a similar story), ie grinded away successfully for time, then blown it all apart in a couple of days

i have more to say here,if anyones interested, which they probably arent, but have to go as my missus is going mental.

i wanted to finish this by bragging, as ive returned to 5/10 and im destroying it over the last 100k hands but bla bla, more beer and drugs pls landlord

cliff notes
pissed and drugged up but have learnt lesson not to play in such a state
beating 5/10 again, for now
the games arent any harder than they where 12 months ago
can post this confession on my blog as dad reads it(he just hinks i was unlucky for a while)

I'm almost certain the currency exchange rate is the same on sitting and leaving.

anyone else addicted to football manager? network game any1? lol

and clarky wow i never knew that! i know a few more who blow up like that, its so so hard to get over, my version of that is blackjack but its weird and horrible those moments, i suppose its getting comfortable with the money you have until you lose and think oh **** i mgiht go busto! then u grind your ass off

i havent messed with euros, but many people have told me the opposite.

someone clear this matter up! im interested in saying outloud, " RAISE, to 75 EUROS".

yea, i wanna get rid of the shortstacks, too. but what can we do? it's like ipoker doesn't care at all...

hi, im new to ipoker and wanted to make a first cashout of $XXXX this week from titan to my neteller. I had to send some copies of my id and utility bill first.

The day after (today) my cash out is gone from the "cashouts in progress"(i dont know how this tab is called in english i just have a dutch version) section at the cashier. So i guess it has been completed, however it hasnt arrived in my neteller account yet.

Is this standard for titan? How long does it on average take to cashout from titan to neteller. I wonder cuz at party it takes like 2 hours.

Thnx

It's standard for some other Ipoker skins to verify your documents/account with first sizeable cashout. I rememebr it took like 4-5days so nothing to worry about, but you could email support and ask what's going on.

Definitely interested in whatever else you have to say about this. Like, why did it take you so long to realise that one awful session where you played wasted wasn't indicative of your ability to beat that level? Did you feel like you had to punish yourself or prove you could grind it back without repeating that experience?

I think you posted a graph of winning 300k or something in '08 right? So if you made close to that grinding 2/4 that's pretty **** impressive.
