I was just messing around w it ... I would be all for doing a usa friendly site, but then u get into the trap of them all in a sudden banning players and what not, and people from different states/banks not being able to depoist as easily as others ... pokerstars.net, u cant do any buy-in tournaments, but can do play money and award prizes here in the forum

... and now that football season is over, this could kind of fill the gap until all those contests come back

Come on, Scarecrow. Ban everyone on the slim chance of banning some in the future. That makes no sense. But I TOTALLY agree this should be a fun way to kill some time waiting on football to come back. Thank you

This is a USA friendly option that actually should work out quite nicely.

We obviously can't play real money games there, but we're not trying to play real money games, so there's no sense in using Merge or Cake to host free games when we can use Poker Stars and have complete control over every aspect.

In the past, it's been a real pain in the *** setting up private tournaments, so I am actually pretty impressed that we can do it all with just a few clicks of the mouse.

If we can breathe some life back in to poker via this system, then certainly we can host freerolls and buy-ins on other sites, but for now, this looks like it will fit our needs perfectly.

I hear someone say that online poker is rigged. LOL! There is no basis for that at all...and no proof of it whatsoever. You want to say it is rigged? Prove it with hand histories etc.. not blind accusations. Why would a poker site rig anything? They have no vested interest in who wins ANY given pot or tourney. They make money by hosting the games. Why would they do ANYTHING that would destroy their business? My advice to ANYONE who thinks online poker is rigged in any way... DON'T PLAY! If you think it is rigged and play anyway....play money or real money... who is the fool?

rigged = situation algarythms to protect against cheating

AKAworceracs
01-06-2012, 11:04 AM
lol they do it to maximize profit, which is done every day in buissness everywhere in the world, especially when no regulation is involved ... Bush jr. cut regulation on wall street and look what happened, the F'ers purposly took as much as they could, running companies into the ground and almost the entire country... knowing exactly what they were doing and what could happen from it.

I imagine the sites know they are fueled by people w gambling addicitions and people who get bored and deposit 20$ at a time, off and on ... so they design a system to appease these people.

the people that dont understand this, dont know anything about buissness, look into the stock market, people run companies into the ground everyday to make money, when it folds u know what they do?... they make another company, lol

That argument thrown out is retarded. Its not my burden to prove the sites are on the up and up, they want me to give them my money, thats on them...

go give your money to offshore book, win a couple of big scores and see what happens... u get banned... but why? the book has no investment in winning and losing, they make money on the vig/juice 10%, people win and lose, it all evens out. Thats built into the buissness plan... HA!

Im sure there have been people who have made money playing online poker in a long run... Thoses people went on a heater, then got sponsorship to play for free or have figured out the system and molded a game to grind out some $, ie multi tabling, math programs, trackers, etc (thats not really poker, thats more like being a good penny stock trader).

Thats what most people are saying when they call the sites "Rigged"

AKAworceracs
01-06-2012, 11:24 AM
and I do agree with ringo and eejit, the sites want the money to stay on the sites, and really the only way to combat cheating and make the game completly fair is to just set up situations w pre determined outcomes and spread those out evenly to the players ...

I think people use to make money on multi tableing, etc, but I think the sites curved it...

just like how the books use to allow you to bet on say The Blues -1.5 and parlay it with the over, cuz common sense would say that if the Blues won by 2 it would likely go over... they dont allow you to do that anymore

eejit101
01-06-2012, 11:45 AM
Here are my slightly more in depth thoughts....

I know a few people who work in the industry. As in for the sites. And I know for A FACT (Ive been shown) that older sites are blatently rigged. Jetset, PokerHost, those kind of sites. So are most of the old casinos. winnings not being paid, %'s changed.

But, the point in question here is Stars. Is Stars rigged?

Yes. But not much. I fully believe that lower raked table are not, for these is no point. Change your game list to show all full tables, and see how many there are. They are making millions (literally) off the rake.

However as you go up things change. I took stats on Chris Moneymaker in our session. Which ended when he ****ed me. He was either running hotter THAN THE SUN, or something was up.

Hand history is similar (exact) to this.

Me (BB) - AK diamonds.
Moneymaker (Button) - xx

Preflop - $5/$10 blinds. Both sat with around $2k.

Folds to moneymaker. He raised to $35. SB Folds. I raise to $105.

Moneymaker reraises to $275. I call.

Flop A J 6. I bet $400. He shoves. I call.

I show my AK. He shows.... J6.

Turn 2 River 4.

Yes this is only one hand. But my point is, its a $4,000+ hand. And I believe to this day I played the hand perfectly. This is not a cooler. It wasnt AA JJJ. Or A K J 6 6 on the board. Its just the only flop I go broke on.

Go figure that out

Even if some or all poker sites are "rigged" for action, you have to remember that it's not really an advantage or disadvantage because it is done so constantly. I don't think there is a poker elf sitting around scratching his head wondering if he should throttle up the "more action flops" button on a day-by-day basis.

I'm not saying that's acceptable if it's happening (and I lean towards believing that it is based on my own experiences), but I'm still comfortable playing online at reasonable stakes because I don't believe anyone can use the "rigged" system to their advantage (bots that have been busted over the years are a whole different story). I've been playing since they first started offering it online and over the years I haven't been able to modify my game to accommodate for the "mega action" system that seems to be in place, and if I can't do it with all the poker I've played, I don't believe anyone else can (or at least the vast majority).

I often wonder what poker will be like when it's officially regulated, but the fact of the matter is, most of the big US companies are in talks or have already partnered up with existing software companies, which means we'll see a whole lot of the exact same thing. Hopefully we'll have some mathematical geniuses who are poker players themselves auditing the software in an official capacity once regulation is in place.

I've tried and failed miserably to play profitable poker online over the years, but I still get some enjoyment value out of it, so I'm content with that for now, at least until we have regulated options.

I think what it all boils down to is self-discipline. I mean, I can sit in a live game and happily play my one hand every hour or even every two, but it's extremely difficult for me to exercise that same kind of control when playing online. But then again, online poker is a whole different breed of poker and it's not meant to be played (nor are the "norms" supposed to be the same) as live poker.

IDK. Personally, I don't think the sites are rigged. I don't see the incentive. Casinos? Yes. Poker rooms? Why? They make a few cents of every hand but when they deal a BILLION hands they're doing ok. And if someone proved that the cards weren't random that would all go away. Not worth it.

I know that PEOPLE cheat. I could easily see a table with everyone sharing hands on cell phones except for the mark. And maybe I'm just being naive, but I think the rooms themselves are on the up and up.

And Eejit, RE your hand with Moneymaker, it's only natural to think something's up there but how many times has that exact same thing happened in a live game? Thousands. I know I'll never forget when I had pocket aces with an ace and 2 kings on the board and the guy next to me had pocket kings. That was a live game and about a $300 pot in a $20 game. Lol. Stuff occurs. That's poker.

I think what you guys need to focus on is how to stop me from winning every Amazon card that comes across the table.

This should be big fun. I'm looking forward to it.

If I played just 1 hand against God, I would get KK and he would get AA with a AK7 flop.

AKAworceracs
01-06-2012, 05:51 PM
it would be easy to rig a system to work out mathematicly w the odds, but to maximize profit in rake by keeping the money on the site as much as possible... and there would be no way to prove it... saying the sites dont want to make more and more money, is like saying peyton manning makes 20 mil a yr, why would he risk looking bad to leave the team and go to the cowboys for 25 mil a year


Stars in my view my be the exception, im sure when they first started out they were in it to maximize profit and might have done some things to the software etc...

but I think once they were so successful, making millions on millions, and pretty much became the namesake of the buisness and they might have seen a long term future and decided that longterm viability was much more profitable for them then maximizing quarterly profit...

I cant attest to the pros having an advantage, but it wouldnt shock me...

I stopped playing online cash games, as to me this would be where u would most likely get screwed from some kind of "heater recognize and level out program" I only play tournaments now, since its a set buy-in and u would figure the site would have no interest in who wins... unless of course they give advantage to pros, site bots, or people whos pattern suggest they will keep the $ on the site and play with it opposed to withdrawing it.

Its that way at Harrahs, its the only place I really play now a days, but they do have "aces cracked" now... 1st like 5 pairs of pocket aces a day beaten get 200$... there are 6 casinos in the area, 4 have poker, Harrahs is the only one worth a crap

CBG
01-06-2012, 07:09 PM
Whenever we're down there, we always get a car and make the casino rounds. For some reason we always win at Casino Queen and Ameristar and then bring it back to Harrah's to lose.

If I didn't love Harrah's so much, we'd probably crash at Ameristar.

The last time we were down there (or maybe two trips back), we tried to go to the dumpy casino on the water, but they closed it down between visits. We were crushed because they had some old school games you can't find around here anymore. Was kind of neat though because there was flooding going on.

Although, we paid to park in the lot across the street, walked to the casino and were told they were closed, and were out the $5 or whatever it was for parking.

Is that one a ways from Harrah's STL? I think we originally had a list of the six closest casinos to visit (I just Googled the closest ones I could find) and then we've stuck to that list ever since (I even have the directions memorized from Harrah's).

That means that I don't think we have been to River City (unless that's Lumiere), so I guess my list needs updating.

Scare - Do me a favor and send me a PM of casinos within a reasonable distance from Harrha's so we don't miss any on our next trip down there!

Thanks to those who showed up today.

Unfortunately we had a ton of people sitting out and it screwed up the game, but I'll try to curb that from now on.

For all future games, if you register and sit out, I will remove you from the poker club.

Please only register if you plan to play.

The solution is have registration only 2 hours before game

LuckyRg2 at PokerStars.It was one of my 1st poker sites ever and i couldn,t think up a name.Maybe it served me well as you didn,t know who I really am because I have played against most of you here and there over the Years many times.
I have stuck to my nickname Rgchan everywhere else for years.RG are my initials and i just added on Chan(Johnny Chan).I,m sure now many of you know who I am.I,m totally a WASP but sometimes when players at the tables lose they will call me a Chink.. etc. lol
RE: The sit-outs were bad news.Always bad.At my table I was HU most of the time and one player sat in and sat out.It makes it bad for the points structure because you don,t want to go out before the other 4 sit-outs at your table.It changes stragedies.One thing i liked about Absolute Poker if you hadn,t played a hand after the 1st level increase you were auto booted out of the tournament.

Hey Boss, I understand your position but I want you to consider mine. I fully intended to play but I knew I'd be WORKING a little later than usual. So I registered, thinking I would just post and fold a few if I was late. I ended up having to work even a little later than expected and, like Cat said, we blinded out very quickly. So I missed it. I was one of the *** holes.
I'm sorry. Really. I am. But I'm self employed and work has to take priority. Wouldn't you agree? And do you really want to kick me out for that?

I won't register again if there's even A CHANCE I might not be in my seat at game time. If that's what you want. But it seems a little ridiculous to me. After all, it's just a game. And I know the game's are small but is late registration an option? Just in case I'm 2 minutes late?

I can tell you're pissed and now so am I. I don't want to be called irresponsible because I had to work late. These are supposed to be fun. And they are. So what do you say? Virtual bro hug and we BOTH relax a little bit?

I'm afraid I disagree with your post in its entirety. I'd much rather you not register than register knowing in advance that you're going to be late.

We're obviously not playing for big money, but I've never taken a position on anything in life where I didn't meet my obligations because there wasn't much on the line.

We can't control registration options (it's not a possibility within the software), so I have to be strict on people sitting out because it's extremely annoying and it ruins it for those who were responsible enough to show up. If this was 1 or 2 players per game none of us would mind, but when it's 80% of the field then something has to be done about it.

From this point onward, I will "suspend" any players sitting out for more than just the first few hands. Those players can then send me a private message if they'd like to be reinstated. I'll gladly do so, but it will be a one time thing, and the next action will be removal from the club.

I think that's a fair solution.

I'd much rather have 3 people register who are going to play than have 14 people register with 11 of them sitting out.

Far too many sit-outs.With 3 players and the rest sit-outs some players were betting 6xxBB with the likes of Q-9 trying to get those sit-out free chips.Not enjoyable.I moved up to 7k in chips and should have sat out until the sit-outs were gone.As it happened i got caught up in that gambling rage with weak hands and was knocked out before the sit-outs which sukks.Why do they sign up with no intention of playing??

You have been suspended because you recently registered for a game in which you did not show up to play.

In an effort to make the games more enjoyable for those that do show up, all players who register for a game and then proceed to sit out will be suspended.

Please send me a private message if you'd like to be reinstated, but please note that failure to play in a future game in which you're registered for will be grounds for permanent removal from the club.

Thank you for your understanding.

Thanks for post the results. I've been in "medallion mode" these last couple of days, but the hunt is now over, so back to normal now.

I set tonight's gave to apply to season standings. This will just be a test to see what that actually means. If it actually applies standings, then the results should stay up for a few days for everyone to see and we might be able to use the "scoring system" to run some sort of league.

We tried that one year on NDN, but didn't work out too well.

You have to have an understanding of how the hunt actually works in order to interpret the clues, so it's difficult for people outside of MN to contribute.

But, if anyone is looking for a fun vacation, consider a trip to MN next winter of the treasure hunt; there's nothing else like it!

Based on the test tonight, it looks like the results stay up if we classify these as "league" games, so I have created a new batch of tournaments using the "league" classification.

The winner of each tournament is contacted via private message here on the forum and after they supply me with their email address the Amazon.com gift card is then sent to that address.

I am not sure how many minutes? But you can show up late and still register and get in. It's either 10 or 15 minutes late. maybe CBG can clarify for us.

shute with only 4-6 players, showing up 10 minutes late could be an advantage:confused:

By the way CBG: I love the 3 minute levels (turbo style) and the change from 5000 starting chips to 3000.

It is set up perfect.;)

Freeringo 14:eek:



since I have won the most games I guess that makes me qualified to critic everyones game.

Mikejjc - unknown
Eejit - played only once and he took me out early, have had a history and he has enjoyed the upper hand HU against me< I am still waiting for the cupid arrow to get out of his eyes so I can seek some revenge
RGChan - grinder, was pretty predictable early on but has changed up his game nicely last 2 weeks and has got me guessing half the time now
Pokerkitty - rarely trys to buy a pot but loves to stay in a hand, she makes very quick decisions that keeps us off guard most of the time. Hard to put her on a hand until the blinds get to 300 then she plays a bit too conservative, solid game non the less and one person who seems to have my number
Catlicker - brave game and am still watching closely
Scarecrow/Easymoney- loves to gamble, patience is not a strong suit, love sitting behind him and not in front
Breadstck- I haven't played enough to comment yet
BruceJ- loves to mix it up early and starts to play better when blinds get 200 plus, I like his style a little bit but he takes too many chances early, like to see 10 more folds in the first 50 hands, love to set him up if I can around the 100 blind level
TomTurkey - needs to play more but I have had a long history with Tom, very patient player, maybe too patient sometimes, solid game, I don't like to mix it up with Tom, not 1 of my target players at all
Panamheist - needs to play more and is fun to play with
SJtaco - not enough history to comment

OK since I have won too many games, I will tell you all my secrets and see if it helps any of you beat me more often.

Freeringo - changes style of play constantly, NO FEAR 98% of the time, sometimes I play too passive and I can't seem to get out of it, when I go all in more than 3 times in a row means I am in a hurry to go somewhere and if you fold I might have to leave, I am very shy about playing small pocket pairs,
I will call an all in from a short stack most of the time with any 2 cards especially when conditions are right, I keep an eye on my stats during game and I know if I win too many hands in a short time that the algorythms will set me up soon if I play a pushy game, I also believe that if I fold a larger percent of hands that good luck usally will reward me soon following, I also believe that the algorythms favor the BB and I hate to fold BB. Last but not least I try to avoid three way hands as much as possible. example: is I have AJs in small blind and 2 people raise in front I will fold, but if 1 person raises I wil call.
75% of the decisions I make in poker depend on what everyone else is doing and what position I am in, I never play 2 cards the same. Did I mention that
I am one of the luckiest people on Earth? LOL:cool:

Hope that helped
Please feel free to add any comments but please be kind:rolleyes:
