Looks like you cannot buy sweeps anymore - just gold coins. Is this correct? What other sites can I play in MD?

2008 World Series of Poker Main Event. Motoyuki Mabuchi is holding pocket aces and sitting at 84% to win. Then the turn gives Justin Phillips a straight, and Mabuchi drops to just 18%. Only eight cards in the deck can save him. 😬

Phillips calls the all-in instantly. And then the river arrives... 👀

Would you have gone all-in with aces here? Tell me below 👇

Anyone else in Pennsylvania that plays online poker? If so what’s the best site. Ive been playing BetRivers but I swear the more I play the more I see the action is programmed for volatility. I’ve had 4 of a kind 4 times in 2 days. I’ve seen 4 of a kind 10 times in 4 days. Crazy guy shots smacking on the River. Just the craziest shit you’ll never see in live poker atleast not this frequently. Also I played a tournament and I swear it was like the casino playing and could see other players cards. Insane.

Anyway doors anyone recommend any sites I’m in Pennsylvania and I love poker

I play home games and the odd card-room session, and I've noticed most people I play with want to get better but either never start or give up after a few weeks of YouTube. I'm researching why.

I'd love your answers. It's about 6 minutes, anonymous, with no sign-up and nothing being sold:

Thanks guys!

Im not sure what I need to do to make the next leap forward.

Ive played thousands of hands and am confident in my ability and instincts as a player but theres clearly something in between me just being a good and capable player and being able to grind away and actually become a profitable player. It's not a strategy issue. What i do works. Its doing it consistently across hundreds of hands and not being able to fold big hands that I need to just walk away from which kills me. I don't know what I need to hear to get me to just fold that 2pair or give up on the 8+ out flush or straight draw. I feel like I'm so close to achieving the state of mind needed to be able to just grind away a significant profit. Please roast me and lay it on thick.

FYI, ACR Poker will be offline on October 1st from 6am to 9am according to their Telegram channel.

Coin poker is now blocked in Australia, I had over $300 aud on that site and now I can’t accces it

I'm a Canadian citizen and resident, heading to New Jersey for a couple of weeks in November, and I'd really like to play online while I'm there. The problem is I've been getting conflicting answers from support at BetMGM and FanDuel (both their NJ and PA teams). Some say non-US residents are fine as long as you're physically in the state, others say you need a SSN.

I contacted fanduel about this, and after two chat agents telling me it was allowed as long as I'm physically in the state, I received this email (attached) saying otherwise. When I contacted betmgm via online chat, they said it was allowed as long as I'm physically there.

I've played on WSOP.com in Nevada before as a Canadian, with no issues, and withdrew in cash at the cage.

My understanding is they wont be able to verify me based on their auto verification method which is using US drivers license and selfie, but there are other manual methods of verification?

Questions:

1. Has any non-US player actually gotten verified on an NJ site recently?
2. Did you need an SSN, or did they accept a passport through manual KYC?
3. Were there issues withdrawing back out (cage cashout, bank transfer to a american account, etc.)? I have an american bank account with TD Bank.

I'd rather sort this out before I arrive than spend time during my trip doing it. Thanks in advance!

I often play poker during the weekends just to relax. I've played on different sites and had mixed results but the more I play the more I feel like the platforms are really rigged. I usually just play low stakes tournaments but the moment I raise my stakes.... I always get beaten on the river whenever I go all-in. This is starting to become a rule.

Here is just a little simple example of a player who immediately called me when I went all in when I got the 7, ... and of course on the river he got the ace. He didn't hesitate. I find this strange. I've been beaten on the river far too many times when I have the best cards. What the fuck is going on? This is happening too many times to be considered statistically believable. I know my statistics and not too many player would be calling like that and not having anything before the river.

I usually just play low stakes tournaments with ok results but the moment I raise my stakes and enter those bigger tournaments.... I always get beaten on the river whenever I go all-in. This is starting to become a rule. I know my poker but there is always this guy who calls, always and he doesn't even have the best cards. He needs to connect on the river.

I'm really interested in learning poker properly. I know the basics like hand rankings and general rules but that's about it, I don't have much real experience playing yet.

A few things I'd love help with:

Where to play - good platforms for beginners, play money or low stakes, to practice without getting crushed

How to actually improve - books, YouTube channels, courses, or communities you'd recommend

Common beginner mistakes - things you wish someone told you when you started

I'm mainly interested in Texas Hold'em for now but open to hearing about other variants too. Any advice, resources, or personal stories about how you leveled up your game would be hugely appreciated.

Been working on a mobile poker project based around some unusual home-game variations and wanted to get feedback from people who actually play poker.

Alongside Hold’em and Omaha, there are quite a few custom variations, including some that mix poker with Teen Patti, so familiarity with Teen Patti would be useful.

The rules guide is admittedly quite a read 😅
It currently works through private rooms rather than public matchmaking, so you’d need a friend to properly test a game.

Mostly interested in finding bugs, confusing rules, or
things that don’t feel right while playing.
If anyone is interested in trying it, leave a comment and I can share the details.

I joined a club on club gg and in a matter of 5 mins this guy beat me on every hand and flushed my money out. This by no chance can be a fluke if you look at his cards and mine. His hands were one better each time. The algo is likely designed to make this person win no matter what. There could be a small hand or two in between that you might win to make you feel this is not rigged but check these screenshots and do share your opinion on what you think. I’m unable to trust and play on this platform anymore.

Prove me I’m wrong and I’ll be happy to put my trust back but it’s just so hard to believe. I hve only shared 5 ss but this guy went on to win 10 bets - not bluffing nothing but each time securing a better hand. What will clearly convince you is 3 time run through for one of the bet and again each time this person secured better. I was for that to go to the showdown and get to see his cards.

Do the justice redditers.

I want to warn players about the ClubGG club Donkey Puncher / TMT.

About a month ago, they banned my original account because I was allegedly “too strong for this club.” Following my agent’s advice, I created a new account and continued playing.

The club later called this “ban evasion” and confiscated my entire balance of approximately 3,400 points (about $3,400). I was never accused of cheating, collusion, using bots, or violating game-integrity rules.

They allowed me to deposit and keep playing while I was losing, but confiscated everything after I started winning again. My agent Steven has done nothing meaningful to protect my funds or resolve the situation.

In my opinion, this is a rogue club: winning players may be removed, player balances can be seized at any time, and the agent may not help when problems occur.

Please think carefully before depositing or playing in this club. I hope other players do not get trapped the way I did.

I have been playing live cash poker for many years now. I play 1/3 and 2/5 most of the time. I play just about 40 hours a week. If you averaged the 1/3 and 2/5 together I make right at $50/hour. Of course, I do try to play as much 2/5 as I can find but still have to play 1/3 out of necessity or I'd make a bit more. Sure I have varience, but it no longer bothers me as it once did especially when getting stuck several days in a row. I've also learned to accept I've not found the holy grail when money seems to be printing. That's my story. This question I ask is for me, and I'm sure others as I have seriousely thought about finally giving it a go. Also, what is the main differences I'd have to adjust to?

Going to keep this short but been playing mtts on partypoker for the better part of 8 years 11-55$ mtts and have been a consistent winner at these stakes. Tried logging into my account today and for some reason wasn’t able to as I was banned? But why, also had a decent size bankroll on the site and was banned with no explanation, please see pics. Just posting for awareness as I am an online poker reg play on 8 other sites so its whatever (tilted about losing the money I had on the site more than anything) but im very frustrated with the way partypoker handled this and never gave me an explanation, again this is for awareness and I would strongly avoid playing on their site.

I played the whole day on gg today n lost all my premiums.

KK vs QQ vs AK (QQ hit set)
QQ vs JJ (run twice, he spiked a J on both board)
KK vs KK vs 88 (88 turn a straight)
AA vs KK vs 33 (KK hit set)
QQ vs AJ (flopped A)
KK vs AK ( flopped me dead)
AA vs 99 (all in on flop n runner runner quads)
QQ vs 56o (I 3b n fella cold call oop and flopped 552. I couldn’t get away)
AK vs 77 ( 100bb. He 3b EP and I cold 4b at BB and he shove me with 77. Lost the flip)

All the QQ hands are shorter stack of 50-90bb (that’s y I got it in pre. I do occasionally fold QQ depends on players n stack sizes) . The rest are 200bb deep.

I’m not a nit that only plays premiums. I do play suited gapers, suited connectors and I do 3b them. I occasionally 4b/5b Ax Kx.

All these hands happened today and I still can’t believe it. Is there like a day or 2 that this happens back to back n I gotta stop since my account is in a ‘bad run’?

I wanna do this full time and was wondering how yall deal with this?

I have tried most... maybe.

I think there is a tougher crowd on coin poker. Welcome bonus was cool.

I have not tried ACR.

I think that clubs poker and stake poker (sweeps coins based) are the easiest fields. Welcome bonuses are not that good.

I like bovada and ignition, but you don't rake back in money, only points that take a while to rack up and have a play through. Anonymity is cool. But no special games or bad beat jack pots... and the welcome bonus is misleading.

I kinda like bet online's poker. Decent bonuses and decent field.

That being said, I think my favorite place for online poker is Clubs poker at the moment.

1 in 2.7 million hands right here. I probably have 70-100k hands on this site and this has happened 3 times now. (Not to mention AA and flopped trips cracked 600+ times with fish playing bingo) At what point does this become more than a statistical anomaly? Why does it always happen as soon as i cash out the majority of my winnings? Im ready for you guys to say “maybe you just arent good at poker” Im profitable in person at all my local card rooms, my question to you: Is this real poker? Regardless, cant wait to cashout on the next class action just like bovada. Would love to hear out anyone who can prove the rng is legit here on betonline, same with clubwptgold.
