Does the "sit out" not sit out on next blind at winner poker?
Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't !?
Really annoying

I think its if you lose a pot during your last orbit, sometimes the sit out then unchecks itself.

I may be wrong but Ive seen a connection.

Alright cheers, I'll mess about with it.

Overall not too impressed with the software, thought it was going to be pretty good.

It won't even remember my buyin preferences when I load up new tables of the same stakes and auto rebuy works like 3 out of 4 times

Has there been any word of upcoming updates to fix all this ****?

^welcome to ipoker.

Never had trouble with buyins and top ups before,

Does someone have a link to a working iPoker mod? Thx!

No way, can't believe, this is beyond reality.
Sent an email when everything crashed on tuesday to complain, and that's the answer hahahahahhaha, just disconnected maybe like 50times during that day

Please be advised that we have thoroughly checked your disconnection concern for your Speed Poker session at around 19:00 to 22:00 server time on December 4 and we could not find any evidence that you have been disconnected at this specified time frame.

that's because it was your internet, not their servers.

Hello, popers!

Here is Simon from bet365 support. Would you like to restart your modem please? Then check if your cables are plugged in properly.

If you still have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Haha,


Please open Internet Explorer, go to network settings.....


hahaha

Thats even a classic by iPoker standards.

This network is turning into a joke imo. Cant wait til next year to switch over to Stars. The past month or so at 100NL speed, it seems like every flop is an action flop where it comes either monotone, or 2 toned and connected. Either that or it runs out out like 4 flush or 4 to a straight. At first I thought I was just being paranoid, which I may in fact be, but after speaking to a few other regs, they seemed to feel the same way. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Also, another thought, I wouldn't put it past these crooks if they disconnected both players in the pot, and then scooped the pot for themselves and both players are like well, that sucks especially because you don't recover HH. Also, these awful fish are also being constantly rewarded for horrendous plays. Obviously suckouts happen and it is super standard in poker, but how these fish keep getting there is starting to boggle my mind. That may be over the top, but too many sketchy things are happening on this network for my liking.

OK, vent over.

ok I was PimpinRegs

after losing 300 buyins this years @50nl 230-250 below ev. I thought I'd created a new account. This time I will not be too complacent and try to get to to the 8bb/100 over 600k hands winner I was in 2011

Wish me luck pls

Doesn't make sense because they'd see money missing from the table when they reconnect

it's interesting you mention this. i had been thinking for the past month+ that the fish seem to get really lucky on this site. i've only played 250K hands on the site, so I thought it was variance (i still do for the most part). but i've played over 4million hands in my career, so it's not like i'm some kind of poker noob claiming online poker is rigged because of a few bad beats. fwiw, i ran good when i first started and now am running poorly. the reason i mention this is because if a site were to be rigged (and i'm not saying that ipoker is rigged), the two things i would do are... (1) make it more favorable for losing players so that the games can keep going and generate more rake, (2) make it more favorable for new accounts so they can get hoooked and keep playing more. of course if i were going to rig the games, i would also create superuser accounts on the higher stake games, but that's another can of worms.

again, i'm not saying that's what's going on. all i'm saying is that on the tables i've been on, the fish seem to get luckier than usual and there have been some fish with some absurdly massive stacks. now for every one of us who are on the wrong side of variance vs the fish, there are going to be at least as many who have been running good, so it's really hard to say without some sort of statistical analysis. i just thought it was interesting that you voiced something i had been thinking for a while.

i also find it interesting that the skins are structurally incentivised to keep big winners out.

[x] some kind of poker noob claiming online poker is rigged because of a few bad beats

and lol @ the customer support replies. i get disconnected about once every 2 hours and what's more annoying than the disconnects is that because of that software glitch where all the old tables pop open,even after i reconnect i get a screen full of random tables and dialog boxes that pop up, making it difficult to find the tables where i'm still live.

lol. i knew that was coming. an oldie but a goodie. :-)

TY

actually, i think it would make for an interesting statistical analysis (like that guy who did one showing that on ipoker, all-ins tend to be biased). not sure if anyone out there is in need of a project idea for a stats class.

OI SCOTCH YOU STILL OWE ME ABOUT £25

spilt on 4db 1 is broken.

Is winner down for anyone else? says cannot connect to server check internet connection, but connection is fine.

I'm not part of the tin foil hat brigade either but would not be surprised if in the next few years some algorithms come to light. It's an unregulated market and you only need look at the measures playtech and microgaming have put in place already to see just how very concerned they are with liquidity and their bottom lines.

I've got a copy of Stata but also a day job. If someone has a way of getting hold of the data in a presentable format for (2) above I'll run the regression. Data on hundreds? of winning re-depositors would be best.

Edit:

Have you got a link to this?
