Has anyone done this or knows what it means. New player kinda confused. I am a fish.

Hey y'all, I have a few months until I'm 21 and ClubWPT Gold is moving to 21 in a week here in AZ. Wondering if anyone had recommendations for sites I can use until I'm 21? Thanks y'all.

I am in Maine. Anyone recommend what’s the easiest to use and most active website to play online poker for money? I think Maine is making it legal at the end of the month but I wanted to try getting in to it now.

Hey guys,

I have been having a lot of trouble lately updating the ACR client. Some files were not overwritten or deleted correctly, and the update would fail. When trying to delete and reinstall the poker software, I was getting permission errors and some files would fail to write to my hard drive.

I tried many remedies and, after combining several of them together, I finally came up with a solution that worked for me. I'm going to outline the steps I took in the hopes that it can help someone experiencing similar issues.

1. Log into the Administrator account on my system (Windows 11 Home). This isn't just an everyday account with admin privileges but an Administrator account that is hidden by default but can be activated
2. Disabled my anti-virus software
3. Used a third-party app called Revo Uninstall to remove the existing ACR Poker software. This app helps to identify and delete extraneous registry entries, empty folders, unused files, et cetera, that some programs leave behind even after uninstallation
4. Restarted my PC (some of the unneeded files from step 3 aren't actually deleted until you restart)
5. Downloaded the ACR installer
6. Right-click on the ACR installation file and Run as Admin
7. Install the ACR Poker client and check the box at the end that will run the poker software when complete
8. Let the software run and complete the first update process
9. Log out of the Administrator account
10. Log in to my normal Windows account
11. Double-click on the ACR Poker icon on the desktop and use it like normal
12. After completing this process, I was able to log in and play at ACR Poker without any further problems.

After completing this process, I was able to log in and play at ACR Poker without any further problems. Hope this info is useful to someone!

Has something happened. I’ve never had issues with payouts in years and now they are saying withdrawals take 15days.

So I've spent the last 10 years playing online poker on various platforms. I started with Zynga, the the WSOP online platform and the most recent is Prominence Poker on PlayStation.

So first of all....yes, I know that free online poker games are going to have players that play stupid, usually on purpose because - for some reason - it's fun to play stupid. And yes, I also know that these low percentage moves and calls by these types of players are going to win some of these low percentage hands.

That being said, it has become plenty apparent to me that these formats have an algorithm set up to drive action and make these low percentage calls and plays to win more often than I've EVER experienced in any live action games (and I've played a lot of live action both in casino's and regular games with friends for many years).

I have come to the conclusion that these algorithms are put into place this way in order to subtly get players to pay for chips. AND, when new players join up, they seem to get the benefit of being rewarded for their dumb play in order to keep them interested and coming back to keep playing. This is to drive up the numbers of total people who will log in to play and - eventually and potentially - pay cash for chips. I'm sure there are other reasons, as well. I just believe these are the main two reasons for it.

My question is this, is there ANY free online game out there that offers straight up legit poker play without all this nonsense that goes on? Poker is the one game/hobby that I enjoy the most and I'd love to be able to go play online somewhere that is absolutely legit.

Any suggestions are highly appreciated. Thanks!

Guys do you have any tips for me to grow, manage, and scale an online poker room?

I've been a fool for too long

​

Pennsylvania has legal online poker And I'm about an hour and 45 minutes from the state line I'm in Northern New York

​

So if I drive to the Pennsylvania state line today I can be playing online poker....

​

What's the best app with the bonus?

​

It seems like pretty much every app offers $1,000 deposit bonus What in your experience is the best deposit bonus for Pennsylvania?

​

I'm leaning towards WSOP only because their share tables I believe are with New Jersey, Vegas, and Michigan... I might have one of those places wrong

​

Let's be serious The turning Stone casino poker room is completely crap now...

​

I don't feel like driving to the Kentucky Tennessee line to do one of those social clubs and paying by your seat by the hour is absolutely crap

​

It seems like getting a hotel room in Pennsylvania tonight would be the best way to move forward.... Am I on the right track Is WSOP pretty much the best app for Pennsylvania?

I’d LOVE to hear from ANYONE that has ever even played a jackpot SNG on Bovada that even had a shot at a jackpot forget winning it. If anyone has ever even seen an actual jackpot SNG please lmk, looks like a complete scam and just curious if anyone has ever seen or even heard of an actual jackpot possibility. Good lookin gg gl

Does anyone know where I can play heads up sit and go's in Maryland? I know Acr doesn't have it anymore and a lot of other sites don't allow my state like Ignition and Bovada.

Started logging every session (buy-in, cash-out, stakes, hours) about a year ago. Biggest surprises from the data:

• My "good" stake wasn't my most profitable one — hourly rate told a different story than total profit.
• My win rate cratered in sessions over ~4 hours. I was tilting/fatiguing and didn't realize it until I filtered by duration.
• Tracking killed results-oriented thinking — seeing variance over 100+ sessions made individual bad beats feel like noise.

Tracking it consistently was the hard part. I ended up building a free on-device tracker to make logging take 30 seconds. Heres the app I used: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/chipwise/id6760842820

What's the most useful thing your own tracking has revealed?

Wanted to see if its possible to start with just $125 dollars, record it all and upload it. Show every session. Started in May of last year, never playing online poker before.

Of course the site I was on PokerStars shut down, so moved over to FanDuel and just uploaded my first video.

I’ve been playing only poker for a decade now and have made some good side income doing it and I’m starting to get worried about losing that money with AI getting better and better. Surely AI is going to be able to play perfect poker here in a few years and most will be able to use some sort of bot?

It will destroy online poker completely won’t it? I will probably just transition to live poker as I think that isn’t going anywhere anytime soon but I really love online and I don’t want it to go.

Are any of you skeptical about online poker going away or have any good counter points against the AI/bots taking online poker over?

I’ve been playing low stakes online MTTs and wondering what other people use to track buyins, cashes and bankroll?

I built a spreadsheet myself and I’ve been liking it but it lead me to thinking about what other people use? Or do you even track this stuff?

**It’s 2026 and I still can’t play on that Telegram poker room from the US**I’ve been chasing this one for a while now. A buddy from Croatia sent me a link to a poker game that runs inside Telegram, supposedly super easy to get into, no downloads, just crypto and go. I watched him play a few sessions. Interface was slick, competition looked softer than a hotel pillow. I was ready to fire it up.Then reality hit. I’m in Arizona. Not a legal state for this kind of thing.I tried anyway, because I’m stubborn. Opened Telegram on my desktop, clicked the link, got a message saying my region isn’t supported. Tried on my phone with Wi-Fi off. Same. Tried a different browser with all my extensions disabled. Blocked.So I asked around on some poker discords. Apparently this has been the case since day one. The platform uses IP detection to keep US players out. The terms of service explicitly say no US residents allowed. It’s not a gray area—it’s a hard no.I know some people are gonna say “just use a VPN.” I thought about it too. But here’s the kicker: even if you get in, you eventually have to verify your identity to cash out. And they want government ID. So what are you gonna do, send them a fake European passport? Good luck with that.I saw a thread from last year where a guy played for months with a VPN and then lost his whole bankroll when they froze his account during KYC. He was pissed, but honestly, the writing was on the wall.The whole thing got me thinking about how fragmented online poker still is in the US. We’ve got legal poker in like six states and that’s it. Meanwhile the rest of the world is playing on these slick blockchain apps with no friction. Feels like we’re stuck in 2012.Anyway, if you’re in the US and wondering, save yourself the headache. It’s not gonna work. I’ve accepted it. Just waiting for regulation to catch up, I guess.**It’s 2026 and I still can’t play on that Telegram poker room from the US**

Tryna play online poker w friends like for fun. Does anyone know any free sites or apps that allows for various variations and the ability to run it twice and stuff?

Yeah so I’ve been messing around with one of those crypto poker sites that’s been popping up lately. You know the type – no KYC, all in browser, TON blockchain stuff. Figured I’d share my experience since I’ve been on it for like a month now.Honestly the appeal is obvious. No uploading your driver’s license, no waiting a week for a withdrawal. I was in and playing in maybe 15 minutes. Just needed a wallet address and a username. Felt sketchy at first but also kinda liberating.Here’s the thing though – the games are thin. Like really thin. I’m mostly a cash game player and there’s only ever a handful of tables running. Mostly low stakes Hold’em. If you’re a tournament guy, good luck. I saw maybe 3-4 tournaments total during peak hours. Felt like I was playing in a ghost town sometimes.The software itself is whatever. Runs in your browser which is convenient but also means it can be clunky. Reminds me of old PokerStars from like 2010 but with worse graphics. Tables feel cramped on my laptop. Not a dealbreaker but not great either.Biggest question for me was fairness. They claim to use some blockchain-based RNG where you can verify the cards were random. In theory that’s cool. In practice I tried to check it once and gave up after 10 minutes. The whole hash and seed thing was confusing. Maybe I’m just dumb but if the average player can’t verify it, what’s the point?What really bugs me is I have no clue who runs this thing. There’s no team page, no contact info beyond an email. If I get into a dispute over a bad beat or a technical issue, who do I even talk to? On a real site there’s support and regulation. Here it’s just… hope for the best.I’ve withdrawn a few times and it worked fine. Took maybe an hour for the crypto to hit my wallet. That part was smooth. But I’m not putting serious money on there. It feels like playing poker in a casino that might not be there tomorrow.TLDR: It works for small stakes and quick games but feels too sketchy for anything serious. If you’re just messing around with pocket change, go for it. If you grind for a living, stick to the regulated sites.Yeah so I’ve been messing around with one of those crypto poker sites that’s been popping up lately.

So I live in a state where online casino and online poker is not allowed what offshore site can I use to play and which one is the best to use and is actually legit

Why is a flush higher than a straight isnt a flsuh more likely than a straight

Hey everyone,

For those of you playing PLO 6-max with a HUD:

• Which stats do you actually find the most useful?
• Which ones are overrated / too noisy in Omaha?
• And from how many hands do you start trusting the data on an opponent?

Curious especially about:
VPIP / PFR / 3bet / Fold to 3bet / Cbet / Aggression frequencies / WTSD / positional stats etc.
