| Oct-05-14 | | coolconundrum: PokerStars? |
|
| Oct-05-14 | | jamesmaskell: Main sponsors. Well known in the UK, for online poker. Games being played in Douglas, Isle of Man. Great field with loads of my fave players. Hoping Sargissian does well. Would love to see another Armenian coming through to the 2700s. |

 | | Stonehenge: Jokerstars
Pokerstars has the most unreliable poker software there is. A big online scam, if you ask me. |
|
| Oct-05-14 | | coolconundrum: Well, I have to disagree there. Poker stars easily has the best software in the poker industry. A great company in a lot of ways, just surprised to see them sponsoring chess! |
|
| Oct-05-14 | | Conrad93: I stopped using PokerStars because the tables are so unrealistic. 80% fo the time someone goes all-in they win. And crappy hands like 3-2 or 3-3 always beat an unbelievably good hand like AA or K10. And it's almost always on the river. |

Typical live hand

 | | perfidious: <Jason> I have played with Negreanu--great player, but even a loose-aggressive type like Gus Hansen can wake up with a hand now and again. |
|
| Oct-05-14 | | Jason Frost: <perfidious> True, I was just being sarcastic in reference to <Stonehenge> and <Conrad93>'s posts. |
|

| | perfidious: <Jason> Had no idea <donkrad> posted, but I should note that I agree with your views on Stars software. Just hoping they are able to resume online play throughout the States soon. |
|
| Oct-05-14 | | swordfish: I'm surprised to see a player of the level of Vachier-Lagrave playing in this tournament. |

OMG !!! Live poker is Rigged |

33 is 52% favorite against KT before the flop. And KT is far away from being an unbelievably good hand. LOL |
|
| Oct-06-14 | | Jazzer32: @ Conrad93
Typical "donkey" comment, "I did not win million in 2 days of playing - so pokerstars is rigged". As someone who makes living from online poker , I can say that PS is definitely nr. 1 site in world. VAriance can be cruel there ,tho , cause it have tournaments with biggest number of players. |
|
| Oct-06-14 | | GarloPemberton: Maxime is a baller. |
|
| Oct-06-14 | | Conrad93: You're an idiot if you think PokerStars is truly random. |
|
| Oct-06-14 | | Conrad93: The site is so rigged I don't even bother playing there. Half the time someone goes all in, which is just about everybody, they win. I win more often on Pokerstars than I do in an actual casino, which is a good indication how B.S. the site is. |
|
| Oct-06-14 | | Conrad93: <lechacal: @ Conrad93
33 is 52% favorite against KT before the flop. And KT is far away from being an unbelievably good hand. LOL>In any casino low hands like 3-3 and 2-2 are worthless. They hardly ever win. Only on PokerStars are absolutely crap hands winners 80% of the time. |
|
| Oct-07-14 | | lechacal: @ Conrad93 : you have a selective memory OR you play only 50 hands of poker in your life which is NOT enough to draw conclusion. |
|
Oct-07-14
| | perfidious: <lechacal> Selective memory is typical of players such as <donkrad>: we may be thankful every time one shows up at table, for it is the <donkrad>s of this world who remember the one time they do over their opponent with a miracle river, but not the ten times or more they miss. |
|
| Oct-07-14 | | waustad: The game between Daniel Fridman and Elisabeth Paehtz in round 4 seems to have gotten garbled somewhere around move 26, as shown on other sites. This is of interest because after a win over Gawain Jones and a draw with Sergei Tiviakov, she has a good start on the way to another GM norm. |
|
| Oct-07-14 | | waustad: It seems that the game I cited isn't the only one with problems. I looked at several more and they all flaked out around the same time. Maybe there will be a 4th round to look at or maybe not. Repairing all of the games by hand may be more than the organizers want to do. |
|
| Oct-07-14 | | waustad: They seem to have done the repair work. |

 | | HeMateMe: You guys ever feel guilty about wheedling some dopey college freshman out of his money by busting him in on-line poker? |
