My 'Hi!' thread and thoughts on PKR in general

[MAStizzle]

Hi Guys,

First of all, Hi!

Been lurking for a few days now since i first made the jump to real money in PKR. Initially, i put in $50 and sat myself down at the 0.04c tables. Deciding this was far too slow, i moved up to the 50/$1 tables and began playing. I was sucked in. I called with crap hole cards and always hit straights or flushes.

After the night, i went to bed with $150 dollars in my account

The next night, i came on, my head wasnt clear, and i played incredibly shit poker. I was calling hands/raises on tables and not hitting like i was the night before. My $150 was soon 0, and i found myself redepositing $50, which was also soon lost. I went to bed, cursing myself. I was sucked in to the shit poker that PKR's RNG 'seems' to sometimes produce.

The next day, i reinvested a further $50, sat down with a few drinks and chinese food at a table, and decided i was going to play smart.

I played based purely on math. I folded anything that wasnt pockets, AK, AT, AQ, KK or suited high cards. Soon my $50 was 150 on one table alone, at which i seemed to have a commanding position over the other players with regard to me reading them, and them being unable to read me. I soon joined another table, which had me playing 2 tables at once. This was fantastic, you have no time to play with emotion or hope, all i could do was rely on math.

Im happy to say i finished the night at $450, and withdrew a cheque for $300 leaving me with $150 to play with.

Initially, i was sceptical about PKR's RNG which lead me to this website, but now i'm fairly confident its just variance.

Roll with the punches people and good luck

Good to meet ya MAStizzle, and welcome to PKR Nation!

Glad to hear that your initial scepticism has been been replaced by confidence in the integrity of the RNG at PKR. A lot of discussion (here and many other places) has revolved around the issue, and to a large degree most of the converted have admitted two key things:

Crap play produces crap cards.
Crap players on the table produce crap results.

I include myself in both the above groups at various times!

Welcome again & hope to see you on the tables soon.
