| Posted by: tarheel1 at July 30, 2005, 8:32 pm | | Topic: NEVER another party skin Forum: Bonus Whores | ok I went back to eurobet last night to finish my monthly $25. deposit $100 I played 80 hands my betst hole cards were aj off x2 and k 10 off x1 (these were my only blackjack/ 20 hole cards not to confuse anyone i was playing poker just using BJ as a reference) i was down about $30. I even made my wheel on the flop with A2 suited against heavy betting I just knew it wouldnt stand up turn was a 6 I feared a higher 6/7 or 7/8. river was another 3, bet raise reraise ( i was tiliting a little) he had pocket 5s for the boat. (1/2 limit full table) then I hit a run of aa and jj that got be back so i was only down $10 the a series of 2nd best hands I was back down to $75. so I hit the 6 max ring games 1/2 limit cleared my bonus and actually cashed out $7 dollars in the green for the night. If I play a party skin it will be the 6 max 1/2 the uber loose tables.

when I cashed out I had $0.76 left in my account went to the casino with it droped it in a 3 line slot 5 cent bets got it up to $6 and chan... | | Read Entire Entry |
| Posted by: btb at July 28, 2005, 4:13 am | | Topic: NEVER another party skin Forum: Bonus Whores | Maybe try switching limits for a change of pace if you are getting some bad beats on a particular site? It could be that your playing style is better suited to a different limit.
As an example I usually play 2/4 - 5/10 on absolute, and have gotten used to the tight style played there.
So when I recently signed up on the cryptos to do some 1/2$ limit bonus whoring, I ran into a ton of bad beats, with people cold calling my raises with A2o, 52o and similar crap(and then by some miracle hitting their draws on the turn or river). I'm still not fully adjusted to playing there yet , but I refuse to let those buggers get the better of me, when I can show a profit on higher/tighter limits :p | | Static Link |
| Posted by: VolFan64 at July 27, 2005, 6:02 am | | Topic: NEVER another party skin Forum: Bonus Whores | While only playing online poker for a few months, I have been hitting the party skins for their bonuses. Sometimes I profit from my poker play while clearing the bonus while sometimes I don't. I haven't lost anything from the party skins, yet. I am being cautious, though, letting the bonuses cover my learning curve.
I think I'd rather play at the party skins over the other sites. I've hit Party, Eurobet, Intertops, and Empire as mentioned in the 101 guide. I've also done MultiPoker and PokerNow.
I'm sure these have been answered before, but finding the right keyword to get my answer is hard to do on a search. Are there anymore Party skins I have missed, and why aren't the others included in the 101 guide?
Thanks for your comments!

| Posted by: SkyeDaemon at July 26, 2005, 11:02 am | | Topic: NEVER another party skin Forum: Bonus Whores | I think everyone has experienced this phenomenon before (assuming he/she has played long enough).
I find it very odd myself, that I always cash out of MultiPoker in the negatives, whereas Party reloads always bring me a shit-ton of money. They're the same site, the same tables, and the same interface... But maybe it's some sort of psychological anomole that the colors of the skin in MultiPoker set off a 'bad vibe' for me and I somehow play - albeit slightly - worse.
Personally I think that once you're on a downswing, the only thing that truly gets you out of it is phenominal cards.
Just recently on the Absolute reloads this past weekend I had the worst streak of cards I've ever encountered - a -400BB streak. I flopped quads twice in the ~7000 hand session, both times I was over-quadded. I turned a straight flush, whereas my opponent had already flopped a higher. I won with AA only twice - once the blinds - after being dealt 12 rockets. The stats themselves are truly ... | | Read Entire Entry |

The worst being when I decided to play off the rest of my eurobet $25 monthly 4 tabling 3/6 limit. Lets just say after 200 raked hands I was down $400 and felt very choked and lost all confidence in my game. I think you just have to expect double the variance on any given limit relative to other sites because of all the maniacs who constantly call your raises preflop with marginal hands and chase those 1-4 outers. | | Static Link |

as much as i like the reloads at Absolute the place is killing me.i play a lot of stud8 there like Tyler and every nite is a struggle.last nite i folded 37 hands in a row ,couldnt get 3 good low cards.in the next 10 hands had A 234 and A356 and got bricked all the way to 7th street on both hands.this is typical there at Absolute.i see this crap almost every nite there.i barely finished slightly up for the nite.i havent played at Stars for a while but when i did i won on a very consistant basis.if i played 10 sessions at stars i probably won 8 of them.at absolute i'm at maybe 6 out of 10.still winning but struggling.the answer? i can change my game but i cant change the cards i'm getting.

| Posted by: ttyler at July 14, 2005, 8:59 pm | | Topic: NEVER another party skin Forum: Bonus Whores | I think everyone has at least one "evil" site/network that toys with you. Mine is Pokerstars. Every reload, I do fine until I'm down to the last 100-150 FPP's then I start catching great hands only to get killed by major suckouts or by bricking ( I play mostly stud8). I can't even count the amount of times my A34 5 has met with J Q and then an A or 8 on 7th, just enough to call the the last 7th st. bet only and lose.
Everytime I clear a Stars bonus I say never again, then like a dummy I go back everytime they offer another one.
The worst thing is it is my favorite site to play on as far as graphics/playability/ante structure.
I'm on the brirk of asking them to close my account, probably will once I burn my FPP's in the WCOOP satellites. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Mouse at July 14, 2005, 10:03 am | | Topic: NEVER another party skin Forum: Bonus Whores | Like I just posted in the Empire thread on this board I finished my last two Party bonuses down slightly. Disappointing.
In the PokerNow sign-up bonus I was up about $70 half-way through. Then the cards turned EVIL and I finished down $15 or so. My final hand was KK. Flop was all diamonds, no ace or king. One of my kings was a diamond so I bet out all the way. Did not get a second diamond but my opponent had 33. Guess what the flop contained?
I don't think the players at 1/2 on Party are very good. I saw lots of terrible plays. One guy called two raises cold post flop with J2o even though the flop did not help him in the slightest. The last two cards were 2 and 2, and he took a huge pot away from me and the other player in the pot (we both had 2 pair on the flop, mine were better).
This kind of BS is theoretically great in the long run but it can really make you want to put your fist through the wall in the short run!

Not saying its rigged either but my hands there are either rags,good cards with no flops,or good enough to bet but not win. I am having some of the same problems at Absolute, but it's a little better. Meanwhile i have cleared bonus's at over 15 other sites now and posted winnings plus the bonus at all 15.I don't know what the answer is. i dont think there is that much difference in the players for the most part from site to site.at least at the limits i play,with the exception of Pacific.I would rather have my scrotum run over by a train than to go back there.
