I play pokerstars all the time in my spare time and just can´t seem to win anything over 600$ which happened a year ago. Is there anyone else that feels like a loser on pokerstars?

Hello!

I don't think the poker room is the problem. There are situations that we can not win for a long time. Perhaps this is a good time to brush up on your skills, work out some strategies, learn something. Maybe it's worth going down a little lower in limits.
If you do everything right, then you should be patient a little, and luck will smile at you. ;)

Pokerstar is one of the best platforms, and it has a good level of play and attention, but it's true that it doesn't give big prizes without making big bets.
I recommend that you change your platform, try something like partypoker and see if you have better results there.

A great poker site. So far, I have no big complaints about the poker room. There are enough small ones, but more than one poker site is not perfect yet. Failures can accompany us in poker for a long time. There's no reason to blame your bad luck on the site.

friend with 600 you feel like a loser, I haven't come close to that yet.
I don't blame the site, but in PS I find it very difficult to earn money.

My guess: Poorly timed bluffs... as they seem to be getting picked off frequently.

Pokerstars has been around for eons. Some of the best software around today. Games have lots of good players in them & it is definitely tougher to win on there than in the past. But anything is possible... and some players are winning players.

Maybe try playing the lowest limits and then gradually work your way up.

Do you play Tournaments or Cash tables?

Have you checked out the Cardschat 30-day course? (I haven't but I'm sure it's worth having a look at)

I've experienced a terrible run of luck on PS lately, funnily enough it came right after a decent run. It's just the way it goes and I've played long enough to know by now that it's nothing to do with the cardroom

Sometimes your up & down. Just gotta make the best of it when you are

I'm happy with it.
It allows me to play poker against other players for money which is all I want.
The rake is smaller than other sites and I like the layout.
They are offering me an opportunity to play the game I enjoy so very happy.

Its not easy to run deep in big MTTs, and if you play in the prime time hours, fields on Stars are very large. So unless you play a tremendous amount of volume, its completely expected, that their will be a long time between the deep runs. The competition also tends to be tough in games, where its possible to win 600$ or more.

I agree. The odds should even out in terms of winning and losing. How long can you run bad?! Before running good… it’s like a bad dream that doesn’t end. So annoying!

My honest opinion is I wish they would fix the software myself and so many others have, maybe concentrate on software and poker instead of more animations lol. I also wish they would or even could open back to the US market again for real, but having said that I don't think the site is the issue... although traffic isn't what it once was there still seems to be plenty of action there!

I like everything, the choice of games is large. It is difficult to win in tournaments, almost impossible. But what a prize fund!!!!!! It's worth it to play. My close friend wins up to $600 every month. I don't. But that's why I'm here to learn from the best to play. I think everything has its time. Patience and more patience.

Hello, Everyone! Unfortunately, or by happiness, at the present time I can't to say any opinion about PokerStars by one simple cause:
enough a long time I'm not playing already on this Poker site... That's it!

Hi, I've been playing on PS for a few years now and for a few months now both sides have been OK on GG, although there are more freerolls on PS and not on GG! That's why I would particularly recommend beginners PS because you can also get cool tickets there with little or no effort. Like the cool Frerolls from Cardschat:) I've already won a few for myself, such as the Sunday Million for 1 cent buy in for today:) But I've also won a number of Sunday Storm tickets and many others so it's worth it! I myself only play small bets mostly on Sat. So my loss in relation to the gaming experience is limited:) A little discipline is of course also part of it! Wins well they are limited, it comes and goes because in a strange way things usually go well in the Sat. or freerolls, but then not in the finish tournament! But poker is just an endurance game that requires a lot of time and patience then it will work out at some point with the BIG WIN:)
