PokerStars = DonkeyStars

How many times do I have to lose to some bullshit hand in order to stop playing on DonkeyStars? I raise pre flop 5 times the big blind with pocket 6's only to be called by some moron from europe with Queen 7 off suite, the flop comes 3 4 7 rainbow so I go allin. I mean why wouldnt I go allin there I have 6's and an open ended straight draw right? When he insta-calls me I think he must have a big pocket pair only to look at his cards and see Queen 7 off suite. Tell me what kind of moron calls 5 times the big blind with Queen 7 off, then insta-calls allin after the flop while holding such a garbage hand? Did he even consider the possibility that I had a big pocket pair? No, he didnt think for 1 second that I could have a big pocket pair. Another question I would like answered is, "Why does PokerStars reward such poor play?" The only answer I can think of is that their RNG is so inaccurate that it allows for stupid people to make stupid calls pre flop only to be rewarded by sucking out over and over and over again. The good news is after taking a few terrible beats today I finished the day having only lost 12,000 in chips.

Online Poker Strategy

Have you noticed that a lot of bad beats happen in online poker play? I have played thousands upon thousands of hands online and I have taken a LOT of bad beats. I have also noticed that a lot of my bad beats come when players holding underdog hands play them hyper aggressively. That hyper aggressive play is what I consider to be the reason these bad beats take place. I have noticed that the more aggressive player will win the pot about 75% of the time. This means that in order to win I have to adjust my strategy when playing online to be very aggressive. This hyper aggressive strategy works for the most part in online poker but may not always work when playing in live games. A good poker player will adjust his/her strategy for the environment they are playing in at that particular time. In order to win consistently at poker you must be able to dynamically change your playing style and strategy. Changing your strategy frequently will also make it harder for others to read your hands. Once they get a good read on you, your next move is to adjust your style and strategy so that their good read is no longer accurate. The ability to do this while playing will turn you into a winning poker player.

Buy PokerStars Chips

Are you interested in playing online poker at the high stakes tables? If you answer yes to this question then you have to consider buying PokerStars play chips at one of the many websites currently selling large quantities of chips. I have searched the web again and again looking for the best places to buy/sell PokerStars play chips only to find that there arent many quality sites out there. I tried a few of the sites I found and after being ripped off and scammed a few times I decided to launch my own site. I created LuckyStacks with the mission of making a site that would allow for good honest people to buy and sell their PokerStars play chips without having to worry about being ripped off. I opened LuckyStacks about 3 months ago and so far busniess is going as planned for both me and my customers. Not one person has been ripped off or scammed and I am 100% sure it will remain that way. In order for you to really improve your poker play you must play against stiffer competition. There are 2 ways you can get better competition when playing online poker.

1. Play online poker for real money at the mid to high limit tables. You cant get any good competition at the low limit tables because people play VERY VERY loose and thats not good poker.

2. Buy PokerStars play chips from an honest dealer and play the high limit play money SNG's. I find that the 4 player 200k buyin SNG's are the best place to find good players. Since they are winner take all everyone plays good poker for the most part.
