Just a matter of luck

I have been working here for several years, and there’s always been a huge motivator that magnetizes me to come to the office.
Well…that is definitely the reason we are the TEAM we are. It is a pleasant experience having such good friends around… Good times, Bad Times we always have our share… but man, this TEAM really rocks! We always understand each other when any kind of situation arises, and that simple fact gives us the confidence and advantage of constant growth and it definitely let us work more as a whole than as an individual.
This strong relationship is exactly the same that we always share when dealing with our players. Just a friendly thing you know…
So as my title says, I am lucky to be here with the people I really care about.
“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.”
We are fully prepared and capable to meet all the requirements that you as VIP players demand, we are full time committed to you. Trust me; just knock our door whenever you need anything.

Good day or is it??? Ive been a member of AP for 4 years now and am confronted by the same drab day in day out,…I had recently cashed in the 100k main event 3 times playing very solid poker and using my same stategy as always,..however 4 weeks on I find myself on a bad bad losing run ,…
I mean bad if you Invesigate my hand history files you will know exactly what I am talking about,…..Its not the bad beats I get that worry me ie losing a hand when im in front all the time,Its the mad cards that pop down ie aq vs ak etc etc…
every sattlite I seem to get bubbled in ,Ive lost over 20000 points fast and loose playing sattlites with no rewards except a few entries into the 100k main satts,…
I feel no matter how you play your cards or what cards you get you still end up on the losing edge of the game system,…
And trust me each tourney has a systematic way of playing it ,I know a lot of the players and how to play these players in terms of loose ,agressive and have my own way of marking out the good players from the donkeys,…However much I seem to play I just cannot seem to get chipped up or in front no matter how hard I try,….
Take the 100k a few weeks back at first break I was at 28000 in chips ,after the first break I go completely card dead and all I can do is protect my blinds sometimes and oddly bluff with a marginal hand,….I just go absolutely card dead,.And the only reason I was on 28000 chips was because I was in a 3 way pot with pocket jjs and guy has pocket kings but luckily I hit my flush on the turn,..big big situation…Anyway after break I go card dead and still play tight aggressive poker ,not easy but have to try and squeeze it up a bit , I try and gain more momentum ie gathering chips and taking full advantage of the short stacks but if you dont get the cards to play you cannot and I stress you CANNOT get far,because they all want to chip up and you are a big target for them all…
From the break after I simply went on downward mode even when I get coolered hands like a straight ,the opponants holding a flush,…I simply every situation im in I find myself losing and losing chips fast no matter how I play,.If I raise someone always reraises me, If I limp someone always raises,you know how it goes,..Anyways I hold out for the money at 36th place thinking ill just hold out for cashing in as I dont have much of a bankroll ,Some may say bad theoros as that the time to raise it up taking full advantage of the low stacks and doubling up,however when ure dealt aj or aq or a10 and you know the other guys prob has just slightly better than you you know youre going to lose,….And ive folded some big big hands and found out that my opponants have had better,…Its these cooler cards situations on the money bubble and up to the final table that really get on my nerve as it feels very much set up or well organised by the comapnys that run this poker base…
I know its not the way I play but 1 very good opponant I lost to “CONVIVIAL GUY” was on my table raising every pot and doing exactly what I was trying to do after the first break,ie make momentum,…He busted me in 32nd place after I got fed up losing hands and having had to lay down aj aq etc etc,I wasnt being bullied any more ,so I shoved all in with AJ in the BB after he raised under the gun,I said to him you probably have me slightly beat but I said screw this Ive had enough blinds were going up and I was less than 4 BB left ,I know that throughout the whole second half of the tourney I wouldnt be able to make momentum after gaining a huge chip advantage…It just felt very very weird ,Anyway convivial guy held aq to my aj and took me out in 32nd place,I knew what he had before the cards were even turned over ,thats how I read online,I knew but was just tired of getting reraised every pot and finding myself in uncanny situations ,I wasnt being bullied anymore and had had enough,…Convivial guy went on to win $25000 whilst a took home a paltry $550,….It kind of makes me wonder if they know what cards youve got anyways Ie using a hcker system or something like before when all the “x” factor cheating went on,….
Funny thing is they paid for the knowledge of the guys who manage to see peoples hole cards and with this advantage I believe firmly that there is a big advantage to some players or site admin whatever,….Otherwise I should have made the final table or cashed in $25000,…
All I can say is be very careful as I dont think all is what it seems when you play these big tournaments online as it seems very set up or put into coordinated place ie a strategic moment that YOU WILL go out,…or a time that you have to push all in or make moves etc etc….
As I say if you look at my hand history files you would be very shocked and after a statistical analysis I think I would be right in saying that something is just very very wrong on this site,…Not only does it happen here for me it also happens for me on full tilt poker,….On that site its always the same hand that gets caught,..AQ VS AK!…
I have even spoken to some pros on this site and they say its just a downturn but I know the varience in poker but this is absolutely crazy ,Ive even lost over $500 playing cash in 1 week losing every single coin flip and most all in situations,…..If thats not running bad Then im sorry Im playing the wrong game…..
I think the only way to know for sure im not getting cheated or screwed on these games online is to play only live poker from now on,…..The pros have told me not to quit but If you were actually me and had been playing for 4 years and had so much trouble with beats and suckouts and losing for months and months on end after playing good solid poker you too would understand…
It all feels very overseen and administrated ,and I can only stress that you ahve to be dealt the right cards and have the cards work for you on the flop etc etc,If they dont match up or u chase draws etc etc you have to have the luck with the cards if they are against you ,you may as well give up,…thats exactly how im feeling right now!
If I am wrong then someone tell me why annie duke and phil helmuth dont play here on these sites..
I dont see them playing the 100k or 200k every week…unless of course they have different screen names…
