I failed.

Tried to quit poker today since it has been taking most of my spare time and I haven´t had time to play ET nor do anything else. And I was so pissed for those Italy Italians and Israel Israelians monkeys lottocracking my aces and kings in big tournaments and cash games, god damn I hate those bastards. So I raised most of my bankroll off from the poker room and left some for one final tournament.

But I won some more money from it and now I have been grinding whole evening and made a over 500% more than I left on the poker room.

So it looks like I am going to continue playing at least over the christmas, sorry for my clanmates, I have to keep saying that I have some "school duties" to do =P

aces + kings are overrated

That is so idiotic that I won´t even tell you why you are wrong. They are often just played wrong.

I'm just saying that statistically heads up out of 5 times u lose at least once with aces or kings, and if there are more players in the pot, u don't necessarily even have over 50% to win it.

And yes, I play much poker myself as well :)

That was my argument too, 4 out of 5 you win with those. And ofc the situation changes if there is more people on the pot, but they still lead on preflop and you can drop most of weak hands by good bet.

I guess this is quite useless to talk with you about this, you know it already =D

But those are not overrated, AK is. People just don´t learn to fold them when needed.

Stop playing omG.
It's the worst addiction ever !
Stop playing at least u still got money left.
U will loose all ur money again and won't have anything.

Just take the money and run.
Be happy with the money uve got now.

The game depends all on luck.
You can't put on ur pokerface and confuse ur opponent.

Just think about it, you put all ur money into it and u're just hoping that the computer gives u nice cardes.

Sure there is luck involved, but I consider myself as a quite decent player, at least in the small tables. I just always die a little inside when some idiot gets his lucky card with ridicolous calls.

Aslong as you dont play on fulltilt.com its alright. Lost there the strangest pots ever, often around $200 involved. Sometimes I lost with AA when i called an all-in preflop. He had JK, flop is, HOW COULD IT BE ELSE: 10 Q A. Or I lost a preflop all-in with KK against 10 Q with the flop coming 10 10 Q.
Now you might think that these are just normal badbeats you get over the time, but I got about 5 of them each night, and the best thing is: the worse hands win way more often. As example: Two overcards ALWAYS win an all-in against a lower pair. 9 of 10 times. And each day you get involved in a preflop all-in when u got AA, someone calls with KK, someone calls with QQ, and another one calls with 10 J, while the flop is Q K A.
Stuff like that really goes on my nerves. I paid $50 dollar on my account, now, 1 month later, I got about $200. I am playing on that account with my best friend, but after I lost about $300 in one night after more and more dubious things I really quit it. Internetpoker, or atleast fulltilt is full of shit, I don`t even wanna think about what happens when you play against Ivey a Deathmatch heads-up with blinds $1000 / $2000. Will he get aces EVERY hand or what?
A friend pretty much told me same stories from partypoker.com, but internetopker is just fooling me daily, or fooled me, since I stay at reallife poker now.

Every client is somehow rigged so that people would play more and pay more rake. Yesterday I found a bot from b2b-network, but luckily they are there just to make some game not to win your money.

But even with these issues I like internet poker.

Mainly because you can lol when you got Aces, or you can just chill infront of your pc with some good food and drink =P
