Online poker trusted ?

[thelast90]

Hello i have a question about the poker
because when i start playing with one platform at begining i was winner at everything what i bet… after while i was loser always.. doesn’t matter how i bet on AA KK or something else i always was losing at the end…

my question is if you play very often and long do your profile go in different mode ??

Maybe i sound stupid but is my experience and i had to ask for it

I trust in the way that only thanks to the analysis of your game you can win. Either online or offline doesn't really matter.

In my opinion you can trust every big poker site. They would be stupid to rig it, since they earn most of their profit from rake. What incentive would there be to let some players win and others lose? What you experienced is most likely due to variance.

Well, this is something that every online player experiences at some point. And while I cannot definitely say that I think some games are rigged, I can say that there is at least some incentive for the poker room or casino, which is that I notice it's oftentimes the smaller stack that would lose in sketchy ways. This obviously encourages more rebuys into the tourney or game, which benefits rooms by bringing in more rake.

Now, it has been claimed many, many, many times before, by players and rooms alike that this is not the case. So that's where the consensus stands. So above is just my own opinion.

I don't really play tournaments as I like cash games, but I was under the impression that the norm was to not pay rake on rebuys and re entries? Or is that only live?

Variance is higher on *any* online poker site due to the fact that you see more hands per hour.

You will see far more “suck outs” online than you would in person for this reason alone.

Online poker is x2 genuinely legitimate; however.

I personally recommend at playing at regulated sites only if you can. It ensures that they are being honest.

Unfortunately this is limited in the US. (And impossible if you are not located in one of the lucky states)

I play at ACR, and Rebuys and Re-entries cost the same as the initial buy-in which includes the rake amount.

I don’t understand why the site should do this. What benefit he will have from this. This will only scare players away.

I think you should trust big and well known platforms, because there is no reason to scam, they won’t get any profit and it will just scare people away.

It happened to me also, but after scrupulous analyzing of the reasons, I came to the conclusion that, in fact, I made unforgivable mistakes by myself.
Some of my major mistakes:
- tilt
- limits
- mixing strategy
- lack of patience

Wish you a good Poker journey.
