Sadly I've had the same experience at absolute and poker room. Tho now that I think about it, all these sites im mentioning have generous bonus offers... i'm stick with UB, stars, pacfic, and party.
You hit the nail on the head. Absolute, pokerroom and cryptos suck.

| Posted by: JPMcMoney at July 1, 2005, 2:13 pm | | Topic: Cryptos suck ass... Forum: Bonus Whores | ok, first, there are plenty of us that still like the games at crypto. The stud games are infested with some og the worst players I have ever seen. The NL is still beatable, but there are better games at other sites, thats for sure. The 1/2 SH limit games are still pretty good, though not as fishy as they used to be. As for which skins to play, I only do Will Hill and poker plex anymore.
Everyone runs bad, and some tend to do at at certain sites. IMHO, the games are still better than Ultimate Bet and Absolute. Not to mention, plex and will hill bonuses are better.

They come out in droves for that $30 bonus. Go figure. I agree with you as they appear to be easier when no bonus going on. Therefore the first of the month is probably bad because they are deluged with bonus whores clearing the $90 monthly.

Play the freerolls and stick to the casino for your bonuses. There is ZERO POINT in trying to find games that are anywhere near beatable. Plus, it's 8 frigging X now.
I totally agree with your thoughts.

I do not want to read conspiracy threads on this site as the internet is chock full enough with them. If you want to say that a site is rigged then please stop playing it or at least provide some evidence backing up your statement. The only place that poker is rigged is the Plaza poker room in Vegas.

Dear FUCKeen,
You probably have something insightful to communicate but it is lost due to your limited emotional maturity.
Note that none of the other posters except 1 decided to powertrip. Powertripping shows one thing, the lack of power by the tripper. Enjoy your trip buddy, must be sad to be you.

| Posted by: nafanny29 at June 27, 2005, 4:48 pm | | Topic: Cryptos suck ass... Forum: Bonus Whores | My observation on crypto having played over 100000 hands is that when you are heads up on limit amazing hands occour. Like AQ v 55 and the flop will be AQ5. Seen this sort of cr@p literally 100s of times and been involved on the winning and losing side of it many many times. So I conclude from my experiance over a hell of a lot of hands that I dont trust the cards to be totally random. I play to clear bonuses, take the possible riggedness on the chin, and dont give them any non-bonus action.
Just my 2c

| Posted by: Randyb at June 26, 2005, 11:12 am | | Topic: Cryptos suck ass... Forum: Bonus Whores | I tend to do well at Interpoker. Although, fwiw, I have found that during the $30 weekend bonus time, the play certainly tightens up. Folks trying so hard to work a $30 bonus tend to lose out more then had they played without that goal in mond.
So, I almost completely avoid that weekend. No fun getting AA or KK and picking up just the blinds. But that will happen more to you during this $30 bonus weekend then at any other time on the network. At least in my experience.
Bonuses are nice. But don't let the bonus become your main focus. The bonus should be your iceing on the cake and not the cake itself.

Every time I get a good starting hand I raise and win the blinds. Yay.
Seems like every flop missed me today but that's a different problem.

| Posted by: Ben_Knifed at June 25, 2005, 10:58 pm | | Topic: Cryptos suck ass... Forum: Bonus Whores | could not agree more. i'm doing the interpoker BW2000+monthly+weekend thing and i cannot make a dime or a nickel or a penny or a schilling or any pence whatsoever.
the 1/2 tables, of course, are wretched as has been stated elsewhere and the 50/1 arent much better, at least for me. i have even resorted to the limp/reraise with kings and aces, a play i have always abhorred, probably since i spent much of my time at Pacific and Party where there is no need for such a ploy. even when i have a hand, the single loose schmuck at the table finds a way to infiltrate and corrupt it.
have 303 raked hands banked, only 1697 to go! and the beauty is, i'm spreading it out until August so i'll have several more months to enjoy.
may all of the cryptos find a crypt in which to rot.

I hate that site..have I mentioned this...I was trying to clear the damn bonus and just kept losing, losing, and more losing. I never took down a big pot over $21 the whole night. Horrible horrible. Everytime I had a big hand, someone had bigger. Set over set, bigger two pair, bigger flush, bigger boat..and etc. Just fucking horrible site.
I will never play there again.
