Should I stop playing B2B???

Postby AlexMR » Mon Feb 06, 2006 12:29 am

I just cant win, and it s not like I am being outplayed or anything like that. I just keep getting outdrawn and outdrawn.

I was in a losing streak in november that was endless. I lost more than 8.5 buy ins trying to clear the 600E bonus, that was in about 7K hands I played there. It was bad beat after bad beat.

I deposited on staff poker and cleared their bonus (750 raked hands) and made 580E on the tables. I deposited again on Martins for a 200E reload and came out winning 220E on the tables.

Now, I went to staff poker and deposited 900 to take advantage of their 400E in bonus for 3000raked hands. I have only 110E left and I have only 1137/3000 raked hands (about 2500 actual hands) and the bad beats are nonstop.

Do you think is time for me to leave and try some other place?

For the ones thinking this is not variance, I would strongly recommend checking the last few days of my journal.... I really never thought one could run so bad.....

Yes. Leave.
I had mixed results on B2B and I was very close to tilting a number of times.
And I'm usually solid in that department.

Seriously, play somewhere you enjoy and have had success at.
A bonus is not worth the mental strain and frustration.

While you're surely experiencing some bad negative variance, also realize that an ongoing bad run will adversely affect your play.

P.S. Variance sucks. I had a pretty lackluster January as did a number of other people.
Whatever you do don't play shorthanded.

Variance can be astounding coz of the mega-lags

I dropped $500 in one session on Saturday - one LAG was very annoying - finally managed to get all in with him - he called my all-in - ($450 pot) - I had a 3:2 edge - of course he drew out runner runner and of course I would do it again

That just what the bankroll is for..

I dunno, i went the opposite way and started at Staff Poker to get the $150 odd euros they were offering for 750 hands i played mainly NL50 and was battered and beaten by the most idiotic of plays. At one point i was down $250 odd euro but then made it back and broke even from that place. I am now trying Martins and in a week or 2 ive been consistently winning. I think the main thing is to remember that you are there to clear a bonus not to try and make uber profits from all the crap players there. Right now ive definetely sticking my stack in when i know i have the best of it but if its a coin flip situation i will opt out and wait for another chance.

Anyway Martins im over 1000 hands done with 200 euro reload already received plus another 400 euro in profit and thats playing conservatively. I dunno u are better than most of the idiots there man just adjust to their play.

I am a losig player at that damned . I might not be a huge winner at party or at UB but I am not a losing player! I am not playing losing poker there and still I am losing!

I am getting beat when 92%-8% too damned often! I just cant stand it! I know it should be a goldmine because they call and push all kinds of hands but they keep on hittin against me. I guess I will just leave and maybe come back one day.

For the first time in, I estimate, 150K+ hands I feel online poker is rigged :shock: !!!

Alex... not to offend, but I've been listenin to you bitch and moan about the B2B sites since you started playing there... And, trust me, I 10000000000000000% understand what you're talkin about, as I totally hate the site too... Why the crap do you keep torturing yourself by playing there??? The very hand I clear my Martins bonus, I'm walkin away and not coming back...
