These sites are just Ponzi schemes in their purest form.

Most people who play online poker are just your average everyday person. Most, not too bright at all. I am a reformed gambler who hasn’t had a real bet for nearly 3 years now but I do enjoy playing online poker just for fun. I get to meet people from all parts of the world and pass a little time with some poker. However, the other night, I played AP omaha 5/10 NL where there is a $2000 maximum start limit, and after 4 hours, I had built my bank to $350,000. As I was about to leave, I was accused of cheating and having a program or a scanner. For the next 10 mins, five players were against me saying I had to have cheated. I argued with them but you can’t win against uneducated people who cannot think outside the square. Why is it that losers always say that winners are cheaters. I’m very selective when I call, fold, bet, raise and re-raise. As I won more money, I became more powerful as chip leader but that’s all part of the game. I only play for fun now and have never ever banked. After all, it’s just fun money we are playing with. I actually lost the whole lot the following day but who cares. However, it upset me that I was subjected to accusations of cheating but that just confirms what average and uneducated people we do have playing on these sites. I’ve played poker for nearly 30 years now. In our days, manila was all the rage. Poker and most money card games is all about mathematics and probabilities. Sometimes, its just about betting and bluffing where cards mean nothing, it’s that mental edge. I have always done ok in poker but lost all my real money at the track. Nowadays, I just play poker for fun and I never have the urge to have a real bet nor do I engage myself in any other betting activities. I have paid the price for being a real loser. I just wish you losers out there, whether real or fun, take in it your stride and accept the fact that there may be players out there who just happen to be better than you in poker. Stop complaining and accusing people of wrongdoings just because you are a LOSER !

Hey, I used to play on absolute poker back when it first started in 2003. There was this player who used to take me for every time I had, I thought it was a bot at first. Now I realize maybe it was an employee who could see my cards. I would keep losing and he would continuely suck out on me so I would redeposit thinking I would adventually get this guy. No such luck. Anyways, I think the guys username was Clearwater500 or something along those lines. He would be sitting at the 5/10 no limit all day at times. If you know how I can find access to my hand history it would awesome. Thanks. My username was todds18p
