If anything it shows you are cut out for it, we can infer you're very likely capable of beating the games over a long sample you just ran sickeningly bad. Dropping 12 buy ins is not all that rare, though. I don't know how big your roll is, but it has to be big enough to sustain that kind of hit. They wont happen often, but they will happen. Maybe drop down a level, get your confidence back and rebuild your roll a bit, and then take a shot, because there shouldn't be much to suggest that your problem is an inability to beat the games.

Cheers for the positive response.

It's not a bankroll issue at all. In fact, I have a 100 buy-in roll. I just don't keep it in the actual account.

Just to mention, it's a 15 buy-in drop. Twice HEM didn't record a loss because I left the table straight away. I didn't realise it was happening....basically when you bust it comes up asking do you want to buy in or leave. If you click leave too soon you lose the hand history. I've contacted support but they can't find the hand unless I know exactly when it happened.

When you take deals into account I am actually still up 16 buy ins for the month, which isn't so bad. My issue is that these downswings just crush my confidence and makes me play well below my normal standard of play.... which isn't that great to begin with :rolleyes:. I start to spew and this makes the downswing much worse.
I just need a break... I'll get back into it again in December.

Unlucky, Jimbling. I've gone from 2 buyins over EV to 4 under in about 2000hands, never mind all the times my opponents are hitting their outs on the river or hitting random two-pairs with crap. It hurts, and it's really hard to stay positive.

I only just moved up levels, so I'm gonna have to move back down now and ride it out.

The software is gone to ****e again. Can barely 3 table at the moment. Every button click takes an age.
Exactly how it was the first week. I sent an email to heypoker and the response was:
We don't have a clue about that, but we'll email ongame about it.

theres a thread on 2+2 here http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29/news-views-gossip/warning-about-tower-gaming-tl-dr-656116/ from a pretty reliable source which may be a word of warning to some on game players, i got no idea how the different skins operate on that network though

cheers, but its all a bit meh. Just seems to be an issue between those guys.... don't think it's really a danger to the rest of us.

I have so far had no problems with cashouts or deals, although I think they are messing about at the moment the payments. They have stopped updating daily etc.

Okay, I can't deal with the software. I can only play 2/3 tables now, and even then my comp is pretty much at a standstill.


So, might as well use this time to join somewhere else.

Everest seems to be the most spouted one on this thread so might try that.
Two bad points though:
1) Less RB.
2) Can not purchase data mined hands. That's pretty disappointing. If anyone knows of somewhere to get them, or would like to swap for hands on ipoker/ongame let me know.

Anywhere else people can recommend?
I put in 10-25k hands a month at 100NL.

Just downloaded Everest there for a look.
Multi-tabling might be a bit of an issue, the minimum table size is a bit ridiculous.
I can just squeeze 4 on my laptop without overlay, but takes up the whole screen.

i know this might sound like a lol, but party?

50/100 nl were the softest games i ever played there. 0 rb, but there reward system isnt that shabby, plus the player pool is full of fish and about 5% regs

You really, really, really should get a monitor. Preferably two of them. The difference is massive.

I play poker in a number of different places. I have a 20" monitor in one. I have a 32" monitor in another. I use my laptop in the others.
I do normally have one of the monitors when playing cash all right though, so it's a bit of a moot point. I still don't like the everest tables much, but maybe I'll get used to it.

I started out in Party, haven't looked in on it in years. I'll read a few reviews on it and take a look.
Is it really that fishy? If it is, I'd probably accept no rakeback.... play 200NL and play less tables.
