Is Online Poker RIGGED?
Ok here is my story with online poker: I started playing poker at live casinos and online 8 years ago. I keep track of my earnings and i'm slightly over 18,000 USD at LIVE (not online) poker events within that time. However, I've deposited over 2,000 online and have NEVER, not once, cashed out online. I've witnessed things online that I never see in live play. and i witness them pretty frequently. I do not play online anymore as it just seems rigged and not worth it to me. It seems like i always start well for 2-3 days and then BOOM..it all goes downhill from there. I even tried this several times expecting this to happen, so i played EXTREMELY tight and managed my money well just so i wouldn't lose it. Didn't matter! Suckouts, (really bad ones) flushes beating trips, constant boats beating boats...even several instances of quads beating quads. Just unreal. I give it up and am sticking to LIVE poker where things seem to be fair and not so unbelievable. I played on Full Tilt, Ultimate Bet, and Pokerstars. Nothing seemed to change from sight to sight. It was ALWAYS do well for a few days and then just a huge ugly drought sucking me dry on each site. How can I consistently win playing LIVE and be soooo awful and have such bad luck online????? Hmmmmm...Ya i really wonder why lol. Any other opinions PLEASE feel free to share.

I lost $3, 000 playing online poker -- What can I do?
Bankroll management is key. Even the best players in the world, be it Phil Ivey, Chris Ferguson, Daniel Negraneu, etc, would go broke if they didn't have bankroll management skills. If you are 90% to win a poker game but risk your entire bankroll each time, you have a 100% chance of eventually going broke. A good rule of thumb is never to buy in to a game or tourney for more than 2% of your entire bankroll. We want our bankrolls to double in no time flat but realistically it may take weeks, months, or even over a year to double them. Grow that bankroll slowly. If you start with $100.00 and double it every year, in 14 years you will have over a one million dollar bankroll. Also consider that variance is a part of poker. Even if you cashed in 50% of your tourneys, streaks of several tourneys without cashes would be a common occurrence. When you go on a losing streak what are you going to do? Will you doubt your game, put your whole bankroll into one game to get even, and then go bust? I've been there before. Get your expectations right and find some ways to deal with those emotions or you will spend the rest of your poker playing days reloading that bankroll. Good luck!
What is the best website to play online poker in India?
I have been playing poker for a few years now and started playing online poker several months ago. It was a real struggle to come across a decent website to play online poker - especially when there was real money involved.I went through a series of platforms - some I genuinely suspect were just outright fraudulent and cheating, others were just toxic and felt unpleasant entirely. Took me a while before I landed up at what has now become nearly the only place I play poker online - 9stacks.com.I’ve been playing on it for about 3 odd months now and got some friends hooked onto it too! :-DI do genuinely think it is one of the better if not the best real money online poker platforms out there.What I love about their productSuper easy interface and simple play methodsThe clean and chic design. (I love their pink color table)They’re very transparent about the money transactions and withdrawing money if you want to is fast and simpleAs a girl, I love that that they have Ladies Poker Nights every Tuesday with women only tournaments!I’ve not really seen any misogynistic or unpleasant behaviour from people on the platform per se.What I and my friends have sometimes wished they’d do better or differentEach person can have only one account. I really wanted to get an additional anonymous account for myself - to try, experiment and play around, but that wasn’t possible because of their ‘one person one account rule’.Some of my friends faced a challenge signing up, but eventually, they’ve all managed to get on board.It’s honestly some of the little things that put together really count.Their promptness with processing cashouts, and being transparent about the entire processTheir regular freeroll tournaments, and daily, weekly and monthly specialsAs a matter of fact, 9stacks is one of India’s first legal poker sites and is super transparent and doesn’t have any hidden conditions to it.PS - they give you a 100 bucks when you sign up, and more as you do your KYC - so it’s pretty chill to get started with on the platform and start playing without having to put in money.
Why am I still losing money at online poker?
WTF do those 2 answers even mean?!? *slaps head* #1 - KEEP TRACK. Are you REALLY breaking even, or are you just fooling yourself into thinking that you're breaking even. Most likely you are still losing money. Do some reading about Bankroll Management. #2 - "I have been a little more selective with my starting hands..." This tells me that you still need to do a LOT more studying and reading. There should be a specific set of hands that you should be playing, depending specifically on your position at the table. If you don't know what I mean by that, then you aren't even close to being a profitable player. As an example, should you play K-J off-suit? If you say, "yes", without any regard to your position on the table, then you will be in for lots of unnecessary beats. If you just say, "no", then you are missing some value in how you sometimes play the late positions. (***One more point regarding this. Once you've established a specific set of hands for a specific position, you need to be able to vary this slightly in specific situations - depending on the action at the table, the players at the table, and a number of other variables.) If you are TRULY playing "break even" poker, then you are doing way better than a vast majority of people. Something tells me that if you start keeping track of your wins and losses, you'll find out that you're not quite there yet. Keep reading, and keep practicing. One more thing - You didn't tell us where you're playing. Live? On-line? Live games are WAY, WAY easier to beat than on-line games.
What is the best way to play online poker with real money in India?
Mahesh, thanks for emailing me to answer your question. Online poker in India is quite a grey area. Fortunately, lately, it is being treated like any other entertainment business, and requisite taxes of the land are applicable. For instance, any winnings (stress on "winnings") above 10,000 INR attract a 30.9% tax referred to as TDS (tax deduction at source) And, Lutz, pokerstars may be available in India, but it is pretty much illegal to play on it, for a number of reasons (not the topic of conversation here, so I'll skip)To continue, a number of payment aggregators or processors, within the framework of the RBI (Reserve Bank of India) are providing deposit and withdrawal facilities for playing online rummy and online poker in India. The online gaming/gambling laws in India clearly state two things: NO FDI (foreign direct investment) in these kind of setupsProhibition of technical collaboration with foreign entitiesBasically, as long as you are diligently paying taxes on your company’s income, deducting TDS on player winnings as per Government norms and providing a clean, certified, indigenous (Indian company only) technology, providing games of skill like online rummy and online poker in India are pretty much okay.With all the above in mind, I see three indigenous poker rooms currently operating in India that conform to legality and provide a safe environment to play in:1. www.Khelo365.com2. Card Games in India | Play Poker - Texas Holdem at Adda52.com3. Pokerbaazi.comI am not aware of any other sites out there, there are some other sites, but the software they are using may not be indigenous; if it is an outside software, it could be illegal as per law. Sooner or later, it would undergo a probable ban.Being a poker player myself, and having played regularly on almost all online poker sites globally since their inception in most cases, it is imperative for me to make sure that the card room I am playing on conforms to the laws of the land – it’s simply smart to be safe! To me the poker room has to have good technology and various channels to play on: downloadable, browser-based and mobile as well. The game play has to be smooth and the deposit and withdrawal methods easy for me. The promotions do not matter much, as I am a poker player and not just looking for freebies. All in all, have seen and liked to play on the 3 above mentioned online poker rooms in India.
What is a good non gambling online poker website?
http://www.carbonpoker.ag/_eBLZ6DxXQgonp... partypoker.com pokerstars.com ladbrokespoker.com pokerheaven.com poker770.com pokertime.eu william hill poker dafa poker bwin poker betfair poker everest poker ...And many many more. Most if not all real money poker rooms offer free, play-money games at their sites so you can just google anyone of the above and you are good to go. The problem with playing for play money however is you will either learn next to nothing or very bad habits that will get you broke when you play for real money. This is because the players in play money games don't really give a crap (because they can reload for free in one click). If you are serious about becoming a better poker player then this is not the way to go. It will waste time and frustrate you. The route I would recommend is to look for free poker bankrolls. How this works is you sign up at a bankroll site and they will give you real money for free to play at select poker room, typically $20-$100. It's legitimate because they get money from the poker room for referring new players. These deals usually involve you earning a certain number of player points (you earn points with each real money poker hand) before you can cash out so that people won't request the bankroll and withdraw without playing. A good bankroll site is poker strategy. They have lots and lots of videos and articles to help players of all skill levels to improve their game. They will give you $50 free bankroll money if you pass a simple basic poker quiz. If you are interested in signing up for this, please use my link below so I can get a referal bonus. Have a nice day.
