POKER: Anyone here play SportingBet?

Pumpy Tudors · 06-15-2005, 11:28 PM

Does anyone else here play poker on SportingBet? I have to say that these are the worst players I've ever played against. Within 30 minutes of my deposit clearing from Neteller into SportingBet, I won 30BB playing limit hold'em. I averaged ONE BIG BET PER MINUTE. Of course things slowed down a little bit, but in roughly 4 or 5 total hours of play, I'm up about 60BB. I don't know if Texas Hold'em was just introduced to the country of Turkey, but the site is overloaded with Turks who don't know how to play. They will call down with bottom pair. Hell, they'll call you down with an underpair, even if that underpair is counterfeited by two pairs on the board! I've never seen anything like this before in my life. Has anyone else here played this site?

Downloading it now. If the interface isn't too horrible, I'll give it a shot.

What limits are you playing Pumpy? I might give it a shot as well

Pumpy Tudors · 06-16-2005, 01:26 AM

I'm playing $.50/$1 and $1/$2. It's truly amazing. I made another 35BB in a one-hour period tonight, but now I'm down 4BB in my last 10 minutes. Really, though, these people will call with nothing. Maybe this site is a better-kept secret than I thought. Let's not get a whole bunch of sharks over here. I'm trying to keep this as low-key as possible.

Heh heh.

Cool, keep it up, probably going to try it out here in a bit...How did you find it?

Pumpy Tudors · 06-16-2005, 01:30 AM

I read about it on another forum. I figured that it was at least well-known, even though it's not well-populated. I just lost another 5BB on a hand, but it's OK because it's so easy to get back. It's the Holy Grail of Poker. The site even has 5 card draw, although I lost 10 Turkish units (a little under $7) playing it earlier.

I know that variance will come and knock me down a little bit, but I'm enjoying the ride.

All I'm waiting for is stars to stop being retarded, I used to deposit using Firepay, and recently just started using Neteller, and deposited some a couple days ago using it, and withdrew thinking it would go to neteller (my firepay account is disabled due to them charging my account once when i didnt do it) but they sent it to firepay, and ive emailed stars like 6 times in the past 2 hours yet no response, gunna be pissed if im out this money.

RGunner · 06-16-2005, 02:25 AM

Well, I splurged and put money on there, trying it out now, wish me luck

Hrmmm. Too tired to figure it out through google. What is the website?

Wow, Pumpy was not kidding, up $40 in about 20 minutes, the play is slow as some people take forever to act, but if you play solid, tight poker, you should succeed.. Thanks Pumpy.

Pumpy Tudors · 06-16-2005, 03:09 AM

I'm down a little bit for this session because I've had some good hands beaten on the river. To quote somebody from another forum I read, you will discover ways to get aces cracked that you've never imagined.

RGunner · 06-16-2005, 03:10 AM

True Pumpy, I've had Queens cracked by quad Jacks (guy had J3o in 3 bet preflop) and Kings cracked by Q8 (quads again) lol but still up $20

Sportingbet is the biggest bookmaker on the 'net, I believe, so all those fishies are being pushed over from the casino and sportsbook...good stuff. Pacific Poker is much the same in that regard (Casino-on-Net pushes all their players to the poker room).
