Brutal luck. I get moved to a table with 4 guys over 10k, when I'm at 3k. They obviously were stealing blinds until I showed up. One hand went by before they started on me. I defended, and lost, a few times. Then I went into rock mode and waited for a turning point. Made 2 all-ins and clawed my way back, also stealing some of their blinds too. lol Up to 6881 now. Getting more respect at table too. lol Average is 9000k though. Gonna have to get agressive. Down to 189 left. more......
Fun hanging with you and HellmuthFan and Scotty on Stars. I just barely made the money and won $24 profit. I plan to put the $24 straight into RRSP's.

Live and learn... I shoulda waited one or (maybe) two more rounds.

My game went south too. After I got moved to the pot stealing table, they picked on me for a few hands, and I went rock. I doubled up on two hands, and was up to 12k. Then stole a few of their blinds for effect too. (right there I should have shifted gears to rock again) Knew the streak wouldn't last. Few bad bets put me to 8k. About the time I hit 6k, into the room walks all_aces, and hellmuthfan. Got a shyte run of cards and was whittled down to 3k. Made a few moves, but the blinds and the large stackers took me out.
Missed the money by about 18 positions. (I'm out $2) lol
PS, nice to have a cheering section. I think it threw off the table for a hand or two. lol
or
Popping open news windows while you are playing?
If it's the 2nd one, you might try disabling javascript in your browser preferences. (that kills most of them) Test it out on the play money tables first though, just to make sure disabling it won't mess with the rest of the game features.
Got heads up & played for what seemed like hours with a very tight player. He was Very good ! Was not to be & I came in 2nd (First Loser!)
I think AA is talking about the action screen ..Fold - Bet - ect , popping up when you are surfing the web & hitting a button by mistake. I have done this as well & it is a danger & can be costly !!
I've never had any problems with PokerStars in relation to pop-ups or the client somehow starting itself.

PS,
Forgot to mention the good news for my poker stake. 8) I bought 3 tickets for $5 in a 50/50 cash draw at work last week. Found out this morning I made $170. lmao
I'll post my table # at the break, if I'm still in. Gotta go. It's on.
That hasn't happened in ages. My first big play was a 9,10o heads up against pocket A's. I'd figured him for a lower pair. I was wrong. lol He was shorter stacked against 3 larger stacks. Long story short he won 2/3 of my stack. I went into rock mode for a few hands and got a AKo, and went all in after turn with 4 betters. (Ks, Qd, ?s ?o)(? = low cards) All fold but 1. Guy catches his flush on the river. I'm toast. No pressure but.....
Go Gamblar. lol
