You know I have played Poker on the Internet for a long time, and I for the most part enjoy it even though I don't think it's real poker and a poor substitute for a live game. I have had a crap load of bad beats on there, and combined with the bad players it increases the amount of times it happens. The only reason I played on party mostly is because it's really easy to find a game, there are so many players and vast majority of them Ducks. Well last night it was the straw that broke the camels back.
I probably haven't posted much about my disdain for $1/$2 limit hold'em cash games, the reason I hate them is because there is no strategy utilized by most of the players. They play every hand even if you raise it to $2.00 the still come in the pot with crap, then they get nothing on the flop and you bet to push them out and they still call because it's so cheap. Then the turn and river they can monster hands and you lose $30 bucks to garbage.
I decided to take a break from my normal sit n' go tourneys and play limit hold'em $1/$2, I quickly made about $40 dollars things are looking good then I run into this:
I hold 7 8 in my hand and I raise to $2.00 to push some of the people out of the pot 3 people go away and one guy things for a long time then calls. the flop comes 4D 6D 5C, oh crap I flopped a straight just what I hoped for, so one guy bets I raise and everyone calls, hmm what could they have you know it's nothing they just stay in because they are fing stupid or on a draw. the next card is a J once again a bet comes I raise and one guy goes away I now have 3 people in the pot with me. The next card is 7D, oh great a flush one guy bets he gets raised by another guy and I re-raise hoping no one made the flush the first guy folds and the other guy calls, he flips over 3D 5D to make a straight flush, and I lose about $20 in that pot.
The next hand I had a Queen high straight on the flop and once again I am raising and betting to try and push people out of the pot. One dufus just kept calling (He did this all game) and the one card I didn't need to see on the river was a K becaue they would allow someone with an A to have a higher straight and what comes on the river a freaking K, and I lose aobut $30 there.
As the game progressed I have a straight 3 other times and each of those three times I lost, 2 times to a full house 7' full of 8's and 5's full of 3's, and the other time I lost to 4 of a kind 5's. I know this happens in limit hold'em all the time, but to me it seems this kind of stuff happens on Party Poker a little more than other poker sites, I could be wrong but I just need a change. Plus on top of that when I went from having about $130 all the way down to having $30, one of the pubes in the room who was playing bad cards and getting lucky was like "Marksman your horrible why don't you just quit?" I usually don't respond to the dufus's that run their mouth spewing crap in the rooms, but I just lose $100 so I was kind of pissed. Even though the money I lost was money I had won I was still pissed, so I asked him if he was such a big shot why the hell was he in a $1/$2 room instead of a $5/$10 room and he said "I am building my bankroll, I started with $30 3 hours ago, and now I am up to $80." I almost fell out of my chair laughing at him, the reason is all of these people on Party Poker are "building their bankroll" and they don't have the first concept of how to play the game. He was like what's so funny, I said if you keep calling raises with 3 8 off suit your bankroll won't be building for long. So to top it all off I said this is my last hand K J suited, I typed a message in the box and said watch me lose with this hand, plus I had just lost with Pocket JJ's to 7 2 and a guy caught a 3rd 2 on the river. Well anyway I play my K J and I lose the hand nothing hit on the flop, but my opponent had A J and there was no A on the board, typical party poker. So I will probably go back to poker stars and open up an account on Paradise Poker, I will still play on Ultimate Bet from time to time.
Plus I read a note on Poker Prophecy.com that said party pokers software scans your hard drive and if it detects poker prophecy on the machine it will notify them and send you an email stating that you are gaining an unfair advantage on your opponents. When the hell did gathering information about how your opponent plays become such a crime? They have pretty much pissed me off, and I don't even use poker prophecy except to get stats every once and a while off of their website. I have a new program called poker tracker that I use to download my results into and it gives a deep analysis of your play, so I will be mostly using that from now on.
Enough on my rant for now, I will be in a better mood once school is out in 2 weeks.

Party Poker is the home of the chasers and one outters and where playing shit and getting lucky is the norm. If online poker was to get an enema, it would be done at Party Poker.
In addition to the endless ¨flop the nuts and get run over on the river by a one or two outter¨, try to cash out or withdraw money. You will be punished for 3 to 4 days by being unable to hit anything. That will teach you to try to take money out of the site.
Bitch to Party and get put on their ¨screw you - you lose¨ list.
And how many jackpot winners are bots? Much easier to create a fictious player than actually pay out the money.
I hate Party Poker.
