Party poker is it questionable?

[sleepers332]

Been playing on this site for many years now somehow it has become my favorite site to play on as some of the games suit my lifestyle and I prefer the smaller fields and buy in structures but lately I’ve been finding it next to impossible to play sustainable on this platform daily , since Xmas I haven’t had a cash out , I no everyone has a bad run from time to time and it can go on weeks or even months but I’m really having my suspicions of this site atm and wondering is anyone else feeling the same just for e.g today alone when I was all in with higher equity then my villain I lost 80% of the hands cut to when I was behind in an all in situations I won 60% of the hands , in the last 3 hours of play over 4x tables had AA cracked 2x times against a-rag magically hitting straights and trips on the river , had kk x 3 all in preflop against a random ace and pocket 77 all ending in losses and most these hands came at high equity stages of the competition either just entering cashing tournament or moving onto the final table or moving into the final few seats of satellite to a higher comp have asked there support for a complete review of my account as things just aren’t adding up correctly and thinking of just leaving the platform as I said that is just a 3 hour sample of how the platform is running for me and wondering am I just cursed at this stage

partypoker is not questionable - like most reptuable poker rooms, what you are seeing is the ugly side of variance. I read recently that there was a poker pro who was on the downturn of his career - playing live poker tournaments all over the States. He almost gave up...and then he won two circuit rings and got his mojo back.

Lesson - poker is the absolute worst game in the world to play because you can literally play the game perfectly and lose - over and over. No one plays it perfectly, and variance can be horrible. Hang in there and things will turn around - it just takes time.

That's poker. Sometimes variance hits you hard. You just have to be patient and mentally prepared to handle those situations. But you should always stick to your playing style.

Ty for your comment CRStal ❤️ I’ve literally had to drop my buy in on the site 2 levels and struggling with the variances at this stage and think I’m just going to take a break away from it for a we bit every day I play on this site I literally fear going all in with out the nuts and u no when u have the nuts it can be hard to get paid so it effecting the way I plan on a regular bases

Ty gerka but that is the issue I find myself now waiting to hit hads not push all in when I have the higher equity and sometimes making questionable folds as I no the cards just won’t run my way , I have never been on a down swing like this in my life and if I’m being honest am struggling with it

I have had this "bad luck" on 888, GG poker and party poker. The way things tend to play out for me playing a strict TAG style, not letting other players stupid antics phase me is I'm hot every once in a while, warm a fair bit, but mostly cold. I accept that if my poker skills were better I'd definitely be cold alot less. There is nothing any poker player can do when being cold and getting in with the best of it but coming out a loser. ..those situations are pure luck

I believe it's just variance!
The nature of poker is really complicated to understand and accept.

We need game volume to better evaluate room A or B.

Besides... play more in rooms like GGpoker and you'll see this happen every second! lol

No, not at all. I play only very low stakes tournaments including freerolls and have been killing it.

I rejoined after a break of many years. The software is very different now and there are no stud games, but apart from that...

Always be grateful for these kinds of things... At the end of the day they are always the ones who will pay our bills!

From all the sites Party is a place I suspect the least. They never give me any trouble even with withdraws.
