Is Bet365 working for you guys? It stopped working for me a few days ago. The client always crashes before I can even see the Log In screen.


works here


I've been a professional player for 15 years. I played Twisters on iPoker, playing 50-100 EUR for the last 3 years and 200 EUR since it started (about a year ago). I was successful at 50 EUR before rakeback and had a massive EV after rakeback on 100-200 EUR games. 6-8tabling. Before that, I played spins on other sites and was also a winning player.

Certainly, it was always frustrating to play against the same regulars on a 3-handed table, but I felt I had an edge in heads-up play, so it was fine even if they colluded 3handed.

Recently though, I've noticed that many long-time players, who have been in the game with me for years, have stopped playing. Some had pretty unique stats, so when they changed accounts in the past, I was always able to identify them. I guess that's life; some people will just lose their edge.

Somewhere around March, the games started to become a lot tougher. There were still some fish, but the new regs played incredibly well. I've experienced many springs and summers in poker, and I know they are always tougher. Also, I'm aware that there's insane variance in these games. It's BRUTAL in bi-s still can be a lot in chipEV.

Still, especially in the last six months, my EV has been way worse, and many times I get folds pre-flop with premium hands, get no action with my monster hands post-flop, but constantly face pressure with my marginal holdings.

I thought that maybe some CFP came into play with multiple players, so I started using a total new skin. I always used multiple skins to hide my identity (its legal,never at the same time) before but always the same acc. This was brand new. This way, I had a lot of hands on them, and they had none on me. I also completely changed my bet sizes in iPokerTools, even preflop. I started to balance my timing tells even more than before, sacrificing some spins per hour. I began using unconventional bet sizes as well, but it still felt like I was playing with my cards face up.

I tightened the security of my home network even more than before. Threw out some bad IOT device with bad security. I had this feeling that they might be colluding more heavily than before, combining it with some sort of Real-Time Assistance (RTA), or they could straight up see folded cards, my equity, or my hole cards. My affil has a shitty website with years old architect and I guess huge security leaks and I never opened it on my computer after reinstalling everything and tightening up because I could have been attacked that way (small chance ofc). still, like they mindread me.

Then, I considered the possibility that these new players were simply better than me, or maybe I had forgotten how to play. I even started thinking about learning a completely new format or quitting poker altogether and starting a new business (although the money would still be insanely good in poker).

I came to this forum to see if anyone else had similar experiences, besides some recreational players who think they're losing because it's rigged. I'm talking about serious regulars.

In the Bovada topic (https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/292/o...), you can find many similar experiences. I also observed a huge botnet on WPN (https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29/ne...), and of course, the infamous Moneytaker on GG.

Then, I started to wonder if I wasn't going crazy or had forgotten how to play, as many players elsewhere were complaining that something fishy was going on in the games.

So what are the experiences on Ipoker in this sense? even in other formats: heavy botting, collusion,RTA-> did things changed a lot in last 6 month or year?


Ipoker is known for botted cashgames for years so wouldn't be surprised if they have landed to twisters also. And some stable or pool landed to ipoker last year also so that might affect also.


I understand stables and used different accounts before, even started fresh one. Unless they share info or cheat, I do not think they should be "unbeatable." I could beat them for years before with custom HUD and big database even some more advanced bot I was able to beat in the past.

But since March, it's been tough, especially last 6 months, super hard. Games had bots for a while, but didn't mind 'em. Most bots had weaknesses, especially with weird bets pre. Best bots played to exploit pop tends. So, me could beat 'em exploiting their ideas about how people play and honestly preferred to play against bots because in the past I could go to walls with some of my exploits without it being noticed. lol.

Maybe news are with some AI tech or super hard collusion or worse.


Would anyone agree that right now it is very difficult to achieve a decent winrate on cash games 100-200nl (4bbs i guess) prerb on this network given the huge amount of botting/scripting and even possible bot colluding?

I yet have to find a graph of a crushing regular on ipoker that isnt scripting or cheating in some way.

Please prove me wrong, i feel like theres no decent place left to play online that isnt stars.

I recently started playing on iPoker nl200(played about 20k hands), and there are a lot of script users on the site.
There are 15 table running out of those, on 10 table just 2-3 regular playing and 10-15 scripter just sitting in/out for hours.(recreational players can't even join those tables)
Its just sad/pathetic.


ipoker allows seating scripts so you get that mess


It's technically not allowed as far as I know...

But so are bots, RTA, and super using and here we are. If only stars took everything as seriously as their security.

you are right, ipoker made seating prohibited last march, i missed that.
I probably missed it because i play ipoker too and 90% of regs still have a seating script that they run without any fear of consequences


Is it possible to play on ipoker on vpn + rakeback?

yes on some skins


Hey guys, who knows how to contact the management of this fraudulent network directly? Guts scammers and thieves have been refusing to pay out my bankroll for 2 years.

Champion and Thailand works fine. Make sure to get a little extra on top of normal RB.

Remember the days of the free £50 in play bets. They were incredible.


How much Rakeback can i have on a new account on IPoker?


I can get anyone that wants to play on Betfair 35% RB locked and an extra 10% from leaderboards pending on how often you play. Let me know if you want sorting.

I'm having some real trouble with these crashes on the last few days playing on Champion too; out of nowhere, it is like my client gets laggy and right after a minute I get my client freezed.

Already emailed them, but they said that their server is stable and that it must have something to do with my connection, but everything is stable, anytime, except on Champion.

Restored my PC and my router to see if it stops.

Keep me updated and I'll do it also.


Reach me out on Discord for us to get it sorted out - lofermac
