@DarkSage

And despite all ur rigged ramblings you still come here for free stuff. Free stuff from and industry you dont trust. Lets hope for your sake you didnt eat that expired MEET mentioned but i guess there is a decent chance.

In the words of Woody Harrelson - i just forget about it.
Poker is skill, luck and variance.
The bad days make the good days so much sweeter.

All the answers I ever received for my "rigged ramblings" in this forum was this type of brainless jokes that requires zero intelligence and presents not a single argument to debate what I've just said. I guess most of you just believe what you're told and never question anything, like a good tool.

Its possible to make profit, yes. Doesn't mean its not rigged.
If you offer me free money, I'll take it. Thanks.
Even if it means to play fake poker to receive it.

I play only freerolls, and I often win money on them, yes.
But all I win I withdraw. That way I get to keep it. I win, I withdraw.

No more real money bets on slot machines. Its my policy.
Be free to decide yours.

Ah ok i understand: U lost huge playing slots and that is where ur opinions are coming from. Yes better be careful as a so called problem gambler, otherwise u might blow away money u shouldnt.

Me i will just stay with poker which i consider a skill game in the long run. U might want to google those terms (long run+skill game) 👍

The best way to handle a really bad day in online poker is to log off as soon as you notice you're playing below your best and use that time to calmly review your hands afterward. This protects your bankroll, prevents tilt from worsening your losses, and turns frustration into useful learning for your progress.

I never made 1 single deposit, except for the first deposit that allows me to withdraw the money I won from freerolls.
Actually I'm first place of the freeroll I'm playing at this exact moment.

I also won the CardsChat Platinum Freeroll in 1st place a few days ago. I guess u weren't there, I didn't see you at the FT.

But thanks anyway for you comments. Very smart. Loved your argumentation "skills".

Bad days are part of poker, especially online. For me the key is knowing when to stop. If I feel tilted or start playing hands I normally wouldn’t, that’s my cue to quit the session.

Sometimes the best move isn’t another table, it’s closing the client and coming back fresh tomorrow.

Its definitely a skill game in the long run but in tournaments there is also a large luck factor in the short run. That's why mediocre or even pretty bad players are able to run deep from time to time and eventually even win if the run goes on and on 👍

Get the anger out, switch to doing something enjoyable, forget about it, come back another day. Extremely bad day is not an issue, weeks of extremely bad days, that's what's really tough.

I know that Poker is a skill game brah. I'm not talking about Poker. I'm talking about "online 'poker'", which is something else entirely different.

Yes its different but not because of ur reasons. Years ago when that game was very new to me i thought similar stuff but years later i just realized that i had no clue at all.

That will be my last answer to you. Good luck.

This week has been quite a bad week actually. I really don't like it but I try to accept it as part of the game. I try to comfort my self with a thought that next week can't get any worse. :D

Even I don't like it, I take it calmly. I think a lot of my calmness is related to the money I play with, it is not that much. Healthy attitude towards money is a must. gambling should only be done with stakes that don't impact on your financial or emotional well-being.

Blame my husband for everything! Hahaha, no well maybe a little. But really, I actually go play outside to play with my cats and dogs, they always bring me back to earth and make me laugh! After a couple hours I go join a tournament. Im a glutton for punishment 🫣🤑

Usually tilt and quit the game for a period, which is not a good approach obviously
