Online Sites...Am I doing Something Wrong???

My advice would be to play land based card rooms. Online poker is not real life odds. No matter what others may tell you. The only people online who really make money are those who promote poker sites. Most poker rooms will pay you for getting your friends to join and spend their money on the site. If you get enough of your friends and others to join and play under your sign up name---you are then making the poker site money and will be placed on their VIP list. Then and only then will you find that you can win. Play free rolls and win some cash --then see how fast you lose it online. Do this over and over again until you are convinced. If you can bring a steady stream of new players to a poker room-------watch how fast you become one of the best poker players of all time.

I concur, this is nonsense.

Total nonsense, imo. I can`t recall that I have ever recommended a friend, but I have cashed out many thousands of dollars from online poker, as have several of the other regulars here at Cardschat.

Online poker is much tougher than casinos. Casino card rooms are often populated by tourists who have had too much to drink and are spewing chips, whereas online poker rooms have a solid core of players who practice long hours and who read and study at sites like Cardschat.

If you can`t win online, don`t look for conspiracies. Examine your own standard of play.

I have a feeling we might be seeing this poster at the following site soon http://omgrigged.blogspot.com/

I concur!!
Reading through the forums & reading this guy's posts.... keep seeing a similiar theme to them. Wish I held the 26oz. Estwing cuz I'd be dropping it down here in a heartbeat.

OP, stick to one format (ie. 2nl FR cash tables, or $2 SNG/STT). Keep playing that one format & read up on everying you can get your hands on. Play it til' you know it inside & out. I think you'll find your results will be much better (as opposed to trying a few different games/formats).

i was having the same problem at pokerstars. i got my bankroll up to $400 from $0 but i up my limits thinking i cud ride it out or that the higher stakes tables wud have better players. not the case. just lower limits for $100 bankroll play around $1 sngs or $1-$2 tourneys n if ur a patient player play full ring while more agressive players prefer 6-max

Ok a hundred bucks and your playing 5-10 dollar buy ins, I think that is too much, no wonder your going broke, at 10 bucks you would get 10 games, I would start with $1.20 cent games and no more than 2 bucks a game. I have been playing on poker stars alot lately, I love there 10 cent games, by being a cheap skate I am, I have manage to build a 30 dollar bank roll. does not sound like much but I started with nothing, same as full tilt, I have 35 bucks on full tilt and I started with nothing. Thanks to CC free rolls I was able to build a little here a little there, dude save your dame money, a 100 bucks buys a lot beer, if you cant build a bank roll from scratch why waste your money, just my opinion, but good luck.

And to answer your origonal question "am I doing something wrong" YES

FYP

Some sites online will allow you to have your own private tourney with your friends ect. You pick the name time and buy in amount then let all your friends know---make it password protected so only your friends are invited to play---This to me is the only way to make certain that you are playing a fair game online---not to mention it would be great playing with all your friends with no outsiders online or reason for site cheats.You could make it a weekly thing with a few friends and have your very own private room. This would be the only way I would put money online---I could not see cheating going on with only your friends invited to a password protected tourney . No site cheats either as there would be no way for them to have a site player at a private event. If you have enough friends who like to play online----maybe you could set it up. I don't know enough people who play poker to have one. I have thought about it--and there seems to me that there would be no reason or way to cheat a private password protected tourney among a group of friends. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Please do this.......................................................................

as we all know, online sites take hours every day to program their RNG to react different to private tourneys.

To the OP:

As said you need to play lower buy-ins to ride out variance given your BR of 100$.

I suggest using 1/50 of your BR as max buy-in for STTs and 1/100 for MTTs (this is pretty standard afaik).

Personally I stick to these numbers - exept when playing money added MTTs (like CCs) where I sometimes take a shot.

It is possible for any halfway decent player to run at least even, maybe make a small profit imo - if he stays in BRM limits.

I'm just a recreational player myself, with limited knowledge and time - yet I made profit on every site I played at.

To the OMG-rigged fraction I won't add anything since it was all said ITT.

You talk about smashing peoples brains in with a hammer and insult them with no brains comments. Yet you think I should be banned? Don't get offended and cry if your insults breeds insults.

instead of playing tables of 6 you should try tables of 9 because you are not in the blinds as much,so you are not forced to play as many hands
