 | | perfidious: <HMM> Tell you what: guilt does not enter into it--other players stand the risks as I do when they sit down to play. It is part of the game, especially when one plays as a profession. If you show one sign of weakness when facing top players, it is all up with you. |

| Oct-08-14 | | waustad: Seeing the problems with the game transmission here and at Pune makes one realize just how good a job many tournmaments really do. |

 | | SteinitzLives: If Pokerstars is really sponsoring this tourney, I will have to take back much of what I have said against poker. That's painful! Making Perfidious happy, that's even worse! So be it, Money talks and BS walks.
Though leaving the door open for chess purity is right, without the benefit of always being smart. |

| Oct-09-14 | | Conrad93: <<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.> It has nothing to do with selective memory, you dope. I have played far more than just fifty hands on PokerStars. And almost every time someone goes all in they win. Very rarely does someone lose. And they always go all in blind. The site is rigged and you are an idiot for falling for the scam. |
|
| Oct-09-14 | | Conrad93: Amazing what a difference there is between the casino and PokerStars. |
|
| Oct-09-14 | | N0B0DY: A king can do no wrong … unless it runs into an ace. |

| Oct-09-14 | | Jazzer32: @HeMateMe
Quite opposite, I feel guilty when fool walks away with money (crime against poker) |
|
| Oct-09-14 | | waustad: With another loss today, against IM Mark Ferguson, Elisabeth Paehtz is very unlikely to help herself towards either another GM norm or the 2500 rating she set as a goal for the year. |
|
| Oct-10-14 | | lechacal: Conrad93<And almost every time someone goes all in they win> Stop calling them with seven-deuce offsuit, this is NOT a good strategy. LOL |
|
| Oct-10-14 | | lechacal: Conrad93<The site is rigged and you are an idiot for falling for the scam> Im an idiot who is 7000$ richer after playing poker on PokerStars. I wish i can be even more idiot in the future. LOL |

| | perfidious: <donkrad: It has nothing to do with selective memory, you dope.> Trying to engage in something vaguely resembling intelligent conversation with you is like playing the parlour game <Are you there, Moriarty?> where only you are blindfolded--for you pass through life with an obtuseness bordering idiocy. |

 | | MissScarlett: 16 of the 73 contestants in the Masters event are from Israel. Presumably it's a group trip organised by their chess federation. http://www.iominternationalchess.co... |
|

| | perfidious: Only <MS> would go to the trouble of ascertaining how many Israeli players are participating, in the course of plying his typical wares. |

| | MissScarlett: Ever since Fischer declaimed that the 'Russians have fixed world chess', it behooves us all to be eternally vigilant to nefarious possibilities of national or ethnic kinship (with the obvious exception of British players) . Needless to say, I will be keeping a watchful eye on any pertinent games. |
|
| Oct-10-14 | | waustad: I had noticed how many Israeli and Dutch players there were while looking up how many GMs there were: http://chess-results.com/tnr147695.... |

Trying to engage in something vaguely resembling intelligent conversation with you is like playing the parlour game <Are you there, Moriarty?> where only you are blindfolded--for you pass through life with an obtuseness bordering idiocy.> What's intelligent about a person who believes that PokerStars is equivalent to the Casino? Ordinarily good hands are crap on PokerStars.
I win so much more often on the site than I do in the casino. There are literally hudreds of sites that mention PokerStars as a scam. It's a sketchy site. |
|
| Oct-10-14 | | Conrad93: If you think a digital deck on PokerStars is actually random, you're not too bright. Flushes are extremely common on PokerStars.
Royal flushes would be incredibly rare in a real game. On PokerStars it's quite common. Four aces are also relatively common.
I saw four aces in a span of twenty minutes in the same game. Selective memory my ass. That is such a typical and lame excuse from PokerStar supporters. |
|
| Oct-11-14 | | lechacal: Conrad93<I win so much more often on the site than I do in the casino.> Why are you complaining then ? |
|
| Oct-11-14 | | lechacal: Conrad93<Royal flushes would be incredibly rare in a real game. On PokerStars it's quite common.> People who buy lottery ticket have 1/10 millions chance to hit the jackpot (less than to hit a royal flush) but people win the lottery every week. Are you saying that lottery ticket are rigged ? |

| | MissScarlett: Congrats to Howell on scoring his first victory over Adams in round six. Until then, <Michael Adams beat David Howell 4 to 0, with 2 draws.> |
|
Oct-11-14
| | MissScarlett: Congrats to Howell on scoring his first victory (as a post-pubescent) over MVL in round eight. Until then, <Maxime Vachier-Lagrave beat David Howell 8 to 2, with 2 draws.> |
|
| Oct-11-14 | | siggemannen: In round 8/9 Howell beat MVL and is leading together with Short who beat Sargisian |
|
| Oct-11-14 | | Conrad93: <People who buy lottery ticket have 1/10 millions chance to hit the jackpot (less than to hit a royal flush) but people win the lottery every week. Are you saying that lottery ticket are rigged ?> No, lottery tickets aren't rigged.
A digital deck on PokerStars, on the other hand, is not really random. |

 | | Sneaky: Conrad, I've never played on PokerStars, but if it's like most poker sites you can download a file which contains your hand history, right? It will contain data of every flop, every hand that is shown, every bet, etc. Is that not right? So if your allegation is true it would be fairly easy to prove it. All you need to do is gather your data and that of other PokerStars players, then process the data with a computer and see if there is any phenomenon which happens more often than chance would allow. Until you do that, I ascribe your experience to selective memory. |
