But do you have a good experience (it's better to forget the bad)!

have this problem in spin and gos sometimes that the money will be taken when I start a game, but the table never loads, i'd go into the lobby, try to join from there and still wouldn't work. nowadays if it happens I just join from my phone

What exactly do you mean by bad experience? That the game is not going well? Sure. As all poker players I have experienced losing streaks on PokerStars or elsewhere. If you mean bad experience with the site, then really no. The biggest problem, I have had anywhere, is occational disconnections, server crashes and tournament cancellations. But PokerStars has been more stable than the other sites, where I play (888 and ACR).

I must've missed this.

Can you explain this system you have for Roulette?

Years ago I played some Roulette on one of the sites. I think it was WilliamHill. (but could've been something else... I played on over 40 different sites at one point). If you wagered $30, they'd give you an entry to a juicy weekly freeroll with a low number of entrants. Myself and a few other CC members would try to play it each week. We'd bet $14 on Red & $14 on Black, & $1 on 00 & $1 on 0

With your system, you would still likely lose $2 to get that freeroll ticket but it sounds like it was worth it.

My system was like a degenerate version of a Martindale. Instead of playing the 50/50 bets like odd/even, red/black, I bet on two of the three groups of numbers in rows and/or two of the three groups of numbers in columns (divides the board into 12s). Those each pay triple if they hit.

I would bet $1 on two of three twelves. Whenever I won, I would change the twelves up so as not to include the twelves where the last winning number was. If I lost, I just kept my selections and doubled my bets ($1 became $2, $2 became $4, etc.). As soon as I won again, I reset my bets to $1. This worked great at PokerStars to the tune of between $400 and $500 in profit.

Like just about every system in roulette, it seems to work great until it doesn't. And eventually, it seems that no matter what you do (other than quiting while ahead), you will run into a scenario where the wheel repeatedly comes up with numbers that will bust you and your system. With mine, the wheel would have the ball land over and over in the one group of twelves that I did not pick. With simple red/black betting, the ball would land 12 times on red. Live or simulated, the game gets you in the end one way or another.

There were no problems, their technical side is well done, I did not observe any problems with the server. But if we talk about games like freerolls... these permanent players who go all-in with their favorite cards are annoying.

bad beats happen in
any poker room.

I don’t have any bad experience playing on PS, but the entrance to the site is periodically closed for a long time.

Many bad experiences, but I guess the same applies everywhere, in every poker room imo . All poker rooms that I have tried have the same problematic RNG more or less . Some are worse ofcourse . The PS RNG gives many river bad beats , far too many , that's why they call it river-stars .

I had also bad experience with their casino , that's why i stopped playing there . Very rarely wins at slots and rewards used to suck . I played once 330$ in slot , lost it , and all I won in rakeback was 30c .......

I have no problems with Pokerstars. The support service works. Fast withdrawal of money.

I haven't had any bad experiences playing on any poker site. What kind of bad experience are you talking about? Problems with the software/website, account issues or problems with other players?

I am experiencing internet connection failures, and it happens more often on PokerStars than on other sites. Sometimes it's just impossible to play. The fact that they have stopped freerolls is their move; time will tell how financially beneficial it is. Despite the internet connection failures and the absence of freerolls, I remain a fan of this site because with money in the account, the choice of tournaments is pleasant, and games in the format of HG are held on our forum.

I played a ton of games against the chinese don cheating ring, but the great part Stars caught them and I kept getting credits to my account.

Really miss the volume there, wish they would let Zag fans play.

Same problem as BluffandChase:
It keeps on telling me that my name and password don't match.
When I try and get in touch with them it says that the email is no longer valid.
It keeps on telling me the update didn't work and on top I can't download the software updater.
I was to use existing software. And this is after following PokerStars instruction to clear the cache.
Anyway, at this point I cannot Log out of my account. The option has disappeared. So I force quit to get out.

I didn't play there much, maybe there weren't any problems. There are no СС freerolls now, so I very rarely go in.
