BAB I

PENDAHULUAN

Berkembangnya aspirasi-aspirasi politik baru dalam suatu masyarakat, yang disertai dengan kebutuhan terhadap partisipasi politik lebih besar, derngan sendirinya menuntut pelembagaan sejumlah saluran baru, diantaranya melalui pembentukan partai politik baru. Tetapi pengalaman di beberapa negara dunia ketiga menunjukkan, pembentukan partai baru tidak akan banyak bermanfaat, kalau sistem kepartaiannya sendiri tidak ikut diperbaharui.

Suatu sistem kepartaian baru disebut kokoh dan adaptabel, kalau ia mampu menyerap dan menyatukan semua kekuatan sosial baru yang muncul sebagai akibat modernisasi. Dari sudut pandang ini, jumlah partai hanya akan menjadi penting bila ia mempengaruhi kapasitas sistem untuk membentuk saluran-saluran kelembagaan yang diperlukan guna menampung partisipasi politik. Sistem kepartaian yang kokoh, sekurang-kurangnya harus memiliki dua kapasitas. Pertama, melancarkan partisipasi politik melalui jalur partai, sehingga dapat mengalihkan segala bentuk aktivitas politik anomik dan kekerasan. Kedua, mengcakup dan menyalurkan partisipasi sejumlah kelompok yang baru dimobilisasi, yang dimaksudkan untuk mengurangi kadar tekanan kuat yang dihadapi oleh sistem politik. Dengan demikian, sistem kepartaian yang kuat menyediakan organisasi-organisasi yang mengakar dan prosedur yang melembaga guna mengasimilasikan kelompok-kelompok baru ke dalam sistem politik.

BAB II

ISI

1. Definisi Partai Politik

Partai politik yaitu organisasi politik yang menjalani ideologi tertentu atau dibentuk dengan tujuan khusus. Definisi lainnya adalah kelompok yang terorganisir yang anggota-anggotanya mempunyai orientasi, nilai-nilai, dan cita-cita yang sama.

Sedangkan definisi partai politik menurut ilmuwan politik yaitu:

Friedrich : partai politik sebagai kelompok manusia yang terorganisasikan secara stabil dengan tujuan untuk merebut dan mempertahankan kekuasaan dalam pemerintahan bagi pemimpin partainya, dan berdasarkan kekuasaan tersebut akan memberikan kegunaan materil dan idil kepada para anggotanya.

Soltau : partai politik sebagai kelompok warga negara yang sedikit banyak terorganisasikan, yang bertindak sebagai suatu kesatuan politik dan dengan memanfaatkan kekuasaannya untuk memilih, bertujuan untuk menguasai pemerintahan dan menjalankan kebijakan umum yang mereka buat.

Tujuan dari pembentukan partai polik ialah untuk memperoleh kekuasaan politik dan merebut kedudukan politik – (biasanya) dengan cara konstitusionil – untuk melaksanakan kebijakan-kebijakan mereka

2. Fungsi Partai Politik

Partai politik menjalankan fungsi sebagai alat mengkomunikasikan pandangan dan prinsip-prinsip partai, program kerja partai, gagasan partai dan sebagainya. Agar anggota partai dapat mengetahui prinsip partai, program kerja partai atau pun gagasan partainya untuk menciptakan ikatan moral pada partainya, komunikasi politik seperti ini menggunakan media partai itu sendiri atau media massa yang mendukungnya.

• Partai sebagai sarana komunikasi politik. Partai menyalurkan aneka ragam pendapat dan aspirasi masyarakat. Partai melakukan penggabungan kepentingan masyarakat (interest aggregation) dan merumuskan kepentingan tersebut dalam bentuk yang teratur (interest articulation). Rumusan ini dibuat sebagai koreksi terhadap kebijakan penguasa atau usulan kebijakan yang disampaikan kepada penguasa untuk dijadikan kebijakan umum yang diterapkan pada masyarakat.


• Partai sebagai sarana sosialisasi politik. Partai memberikan sikap, pandangan, pendapat, dan orientasi terhadap fenomena (kejadian, peristiwa dan kebijakan) politik yang terjadi di tengah masyarakat. Sosialisi politik mencakup juga proses menyampaikan norma-norma dan nilai-nilai dari satu generasi ke generasi berikutnya. Bahkan, partai politik berusaha menciptakan image (citra) bahwa ia memperjuangkan kepentingan umum.


• Partai politik sebagai sarana rekrutmen politik. Partai politik berfungsi mencari dan mengajak orang untuk turut aktif dalam kegiatan politik sebagai anggota partai.


• Partai politik sebagai sarana pengatur konflik. Di tengah masyarakat terjadi berbagai perbedaan pendapat, partai politik berupaya untuk mengatasinya. Namun, semestinya hal ini dilakukan bukan untuk kepentingan pribadi atau partai itu sendiri melainkan untuk kepentingan umum.

3. Tujuan Pembentukan Partai Politik

Tujuan dari pembentukan partai politik menurut Undang-undang no.2 tahun 2008 tentang partai politik, yaitu

• mewujudkan cita-cita nasional bangsa Indonesia sebagaimana dimaksud dalam pembukaan undang-undang dasar negara republik Indonesia tahun 1945

• menjaga dan memelihara keutuhan negara kesatuan republik Indonesia


• mengembangkan kehidupan demokrasi berdasarkan pancasila dengan menjunjung tinggi kedaulatan rakyat dalam negara kesatuan republik Indonesia


• mewujudkan kesejahteraan bagi seluruh rakyat Indonesia.


• meningkatkan partisipasi politik anggota dan masyarakat dalam rangka penyelenggaraan kegiatan politik dan pemerintahan


• memperjuangkan cita-cita partai politik dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat, berbangsa, dan bernegara


• membangun etika dan budaya politik dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat, berbangsa, dan bernegara

Selain itu ada juga tujuan partai politik menurut basis sosial dibagi menjadi empat tipe yaitu :

• Partai politik berdasarkan lapisan masyarakat yaitu bawah, menengah dan lapisan atas.

· Partai politik berdasarkan kepentingan tertentu yaitu petani, buruh dan pengusaha.

• Partai politik yang didasarkan pemeluk agama tertentu.


• Partai politik yang didasarkan pada kelompok budaya tertentu.

4. Sejarah Terbentuknya Partai Politik

di Dunia

Partai politik pertama-tama lahir di negara-negara Eropa Barat bersamaan dengan gagasan bahwa rakyat merupakan fakta yang menentukan dalam proses politik. Dalam hal ini partai politik berperan sebagai penghubung antara rakyat di satu pihak dan pemerintah di lain pihak. Maka dalam perkembangannya kemudian partai politik dianggap sebagai menifestasi dari suatu sistem politik yang demokratis, yang mewakili aspirasi rakyat.

Pada permulaannya peranan partai politik di negara-negara Barat bersifat elitis dan aristokratis, dalam arti terutama mempertahankan kepentingan golongan bangsawan terhadap tuntutan raja, namun dalam perkembangannya kemudian peranan tersebut meluas dan berkembang ke segenap lapisan masyarakat. Hal ini antara lain disebabkan oleh perlunya dukungan yang menyebar dan merata dari semua golongan masyarakat. Dengan demikian terjadi pergeseran dari peranan yang bersifat elitis ke peranan yang meluas dan populis.

Perkembangan selanjutnya adalah dari Barat, partai politik mempengaruhi dan berkembang di negara-negara baru, yaitu di Asia dan Afrika. Partai politik di negara-negara jajahan sering berperan sebagai pemersatu aspirasi rakyat dan penggerak ke arah persatuan nasional yang bertujuan mencapai kemerdekaan. Hal ini terjadi di Indonesia (waktu itu masih Hindia Belanda) serta India. Dan dalam perkembanganya akhir-akhir ini partai politik umumnya diterima sebagai suatu lembaga penting terutama di negara-negara yang berdasarkan demokrasi konstitusional, yaitu sebagai kelengkapan sistem demokrasi suatu negara.

Di Indonesia

Perkembangan partai politik di Indonesia dapat digolongkan dalam beberapa periode perkembangan, dengan setiap kurun waktu mempunyai ciri dan tujuan masing-masing, yaitu : Masa penjajahan Belanda, Masa pedudukan Jepang dan masa merdeka.

Masa penjajahan Belanda.

Masa ini disebut sebagai periode pertama lahirnya partai politik di Indoneisa (waktu itu Hindia Belanda). Lahirnya partai menandai adanya kesadaran nasional. Pada masa itu semua organisasi baik yang bertujuan sosial seperti Budi Utomo dan Muhammadiyah, ataupun yang berazaskan politik agama dan sekuler seperti Serikat Islam, PNI dan Partai Katolik, ikut memainkan peranan dalam pergerakan nasional untuk Indonesia merdeka.

Kehadiran partai politik pada masa permulaan merupakan menifestasi kesadaran nasional untuk mencapai kemerdekaan bagi bangsa Indonesia. Setelah didirikan Dewan Rakyat , gerakan ini oleh beberapa partai diteruskan di dalam badan ini. Pada tahun 1939 terdapat beberapa fraksi di dalam Dewan Rakat, yaitu Fraksi Nasional di bawah pimpinan M. Husni Thamin, PPBB (Perhimpunan Pegawai Bestuur Bumi Putera) di bawah pimpinan Prawoto dan Indonesische Nationale Groep di bawah pimpinan Muhammad Yamin.

Di luar dewan rakyat ada usaha untuk mengadakan gabungan partai politik dan menjadikannya semacam dewan perwakilan rakyat. Pada tahun 1939 dibentuk KRI (Komite Rakyat Indoneisa) yang terdiri dari GAPI (Gabungan Politik Indonesia) yang merupakan gabungan dari partai-partai yang beraliran nasional, MIAI (Majelis Islami) yang merupakan gabungan partai-partai yang beraliran Islam yang terbentuk tahun 1937, dan MRI (Majelis Rakyat Indonesia) yang merupakan gabungan organisasi buruh.

Masa pendudukan Jepang

Pada masa ini, semua kegiatan partai politik dilarang, hanya golongan Islam diberi kebebasan untuk membentuk partai Masyumi, yang lebih banyak bergerak di bidang sosial.

Masa Merdeka (mulai 1945).

Beberapa bulan setelah proklamsi kemerdekaan, terbuka kesempatan yang besar untuk mendirikan partai politik, sehingga bermunculanlah parti-partai politik Indonesia. Dengan demikian kita kembali kepada pola sistem banyak partai.

Pemilu 1955 memunculkan 4 partai politik besar, yaitu : Masyumi, PNI, NU dan PKI. Masa tahun 1950 sampai 1959 ini sering disebut sebagai masa kejayaan partai politik, karena partai politik memainkan peranan yang sangat penting dalam kehidupan bernegara melalui sistem parlementer. Sistem banyak partai ternyata tidak dapat berjalan baik. Partai politik tidak dapat melaksanakan fungsinya dengan baik, sehingga kabinet jatuh bangun dan tidak dapat melaksanakan program kerjanya. Sebagai akibatnya pembangunan tidak dapat berjaan dengan baik pula. Masa demokrasi parlementer diakhiri dengan Dekrit 5 Juli 1959, yang mewakili masa masa demokrasi terpimpin.

Pada masa demokrasi terpimpin ini peranan partai politik mulai dikurangi, sedangkan di pihak lain, peranan presiden sangat kuat. Partai politik pada saat ini dikenal dengan NASAKOM (Nasional, Agama dan Komunis) yang diwakili oleh NU, PNI dan PKI. Pada masa Demokrasi Terpimpin ini nampak sekali bahwa PKI memainkan peranan bertambah kuat, terutama memalui G 30 S/PKI akhir September 1965).

Setelah itu Indonesia memasuki masa Orde Baru dan partai-partai dapat bergerak lebih leluasa dibanding dengan msa Demokrasi terpimpin. Suatu catatan pada masa ini adalah munculnya organisasi kekuatan politik bar yaitu Golongan Karya (Golkar). Pada pemilihan umum thun 1971, Golkar munculsebagai pemenang partai diikuti oleh 3 partai politik besar yaitu NU, Parmusi (Persatuan Muslim Indonesia) serta PNI.

Pada tahun 1973 terjadi penyederhanaan partai melalui fusi partai politik. Empat partai politik Islam, yaitu : NU, Parmusi, Partai Sarikat Islam dan Perti bergabung menjadi Partai Persatu Pembangunan (PPP). Lima partai lain yaitu PNI, Partai Kristen Indonesia, Parati Katolik, Partai Murba dan Partai IPKI (ikatan Pendukung Kemerdekaan Indonesia) bergabung menjadi Partai Demokrasi Indonesia. Maka pada tahun 1977 hanya terdapat 3 organisasi keuatan politik Indonesia dan terus berlangsung hinga pada pemilu 1997. Setelah gelombang reformasi terjadi di Indonesia yang ditandai dengan tumbangnya rezim Suharto, maka pemilu dengan sistem multi partai terus berlanjut hingga pemilu 2004 nanti.

Potret Partai Politik Masa Kini

Ideologi bagi partai adalah suatu idealisme yang menjadi garis besar bagi kegiatan dan organisasi partai. Bisa jadi karena identitas yang kurang kuat inilah, partai Indonesia secara umum masih mencari jati dirinya. Sangat sulit membedakan partai-partai Indonesia–selain dengan mengelompokkan mereka dalam kelompok partai agamis dan sekuler. Dari segi ini pun terkadang ada partai yang terlihat berusaha menggabungkan kedua unsur ini. Partai Amanat Nasional, misalnya, berusaha menggabungkan citra nasionalisnya dengan kedekatannya terhadap Muhammadiyah. Lemahnya ideologi bahkan bisa dilihat dalam partai-partai utama. Partai besar, seperti Partai Demokrasi Indonesia Perjuangan (PDIP), pun masih amat bergantung pada karisma Mbak Mega (Megawati Soekarnoputri) untuk menarik pendukung. Padahal, demi kelangsungan organisasinya, partai ini seharusnya sudah bisa “mengalihkan” dukungan terhadap pemimpin menjadi dukungan terhadap identitas dan organisasi partai.

Dilihat dari kacamata organisasi fisik, partai-partai kita juga masih sangat lemah. Di tingkat masyarakat, hanya partai-partai besar yang mampu terus eksis di luar masa kampanye dan pemilu. Kebanyakan partai masih “tidur” kalau tidak ada pemilu, dan cabang-cabang mereka juga tutup. Kemampuan untuk tetap aktif sangat bergantung pada kapasitas cabang partai dan komitmen pemimpin di tingkat lokal. Lagi pula, cabang lokal juga sangat bergantung pada ketersediaan dana untuk tetap mengadakan aktivitas. Sebagian besar partai juga masih mengontrak kantor cabangnya, dan hanya partai Orde Baru yang punya kantor tetap. Walhasil, kalau mereka sulit mendapat kontrakan, aktivitas juga terhenti dan partai menjadi vakum.

Dengan kapasitas organisasi yang seperti ini, sangat sulit bagi partai politik Indonesia membangun hubungan yang stabil dengan para pendukung dan anggotanya. Dari segi rekrutmen, partai-partai besar biasanya hanya mengandalkan pada suara yang didapat pada pemungutan suara sebelumnya. Partai-partai seperti PDIP dan Golkar kurang mementingkan rekrutmen dan lebih menggantungkan diri pada popularitas partainya saat pemilu. Adapun partai-partai muda, seperti PKS dan PAN, memang memprioritaskan rekrutmen anggota baru, tetapi kemampuan mereka untuk merekrut sangatlah berbeda. PKS terlihat lebih mampu untuk konsisten menjalankan program rekrutmen, sedangkan PAN tertatih-tatih untuk mempertahankan eksistensinya di tingkat lokal. Hanya dengan komitmen para kadernya, cabang PAN dapat tetap bertahan tetapi aktivitasnya sangat terbatas. Dengan manajemen anggota yang semacam ini, tidaklah mengherankan bahwa partai biasanya mengejar produk “jadi” dari selebritas sebagai calon anggota legislatif mereka. Memang tren ini menandakan ketidakmampuan dan kemalasan partai untuk mendidik dan memupuk kadernya sendiri. Tapi bisa juga ini karena kegagalan partai untuk berkembang pada masa lalu, dan pada masa reformasi ini pun mereka juga masih dalam tahap awal perkembangannya. Terutama bagi partai muda, belum ada kader yang siap maju

Jadi, yang diperlukan oleh partai politik bukan hanya dukungan, tapi juga kesabaran pemilih untuk memberikan kesempatan kepada partai politik pilihan mereka. Perjalanan partai politik Indonesia ke arah kemajuan masihlah panjang. Selagi kita belajar tentang demokrasi selama kurang-lebih sepuluh tahun terakhir, partai politik kita juga sedang belajar tentang organisasi dan manajemen. Godaan dan tantangan tentu saja banyak dan sangat mudah bagi partai politik untuk menjadi non-aktif dan kembali ke praktek politik uang. Karena itulah partisipasi pemilih sangatlah penting untuk menyeleksi partai politik yang kurang efisien. Pemilihan Umum 2009 nanti adalah ujian penting bagi kematangan, bukan hanya bagi partai politik, tapi juga bagi pemilih dalam menentukan pilihannya.

BAB III

KESIMPULAN

• Partai Politik adalah organisasi politik yang menjalani ideologi tertentu atau dibentuk dengan tujuan khusus.


• Partai Politik di Indonesia pertama kali dibentuk sejak jaman penjajahan Belanda, meskipun system politik di Indonesia bersifat multipartai, namun pada masa orde baru sempat terjadi pemusatan kekuatan sehingga partai politik hanya ada 3 partai politik. Sejak jaman reformasi Indonesia kembali menjadi system multipartai.


• yang diperlukan oleh partai politik bukan hanya dukungan, tapi juga kesabaran pemilih untuk memberikan kesempatan kepada partai politik pilihan, agar partai politik Indonesia bias menjadi lebih baik lagi dari sekarang.

Tentang Partai Demokrasi Indonesia Perjuangan (PDIP)

Sejarah PDIP

Bahwa PDI Perjuangan merupakan partai politik yang sebenarnya adalah partai yang secara langsung memiliki tali kesejarahan dengan partai politik masa orde lama. PDI Perjuangan sebenarnya kelanjutan dari Partai Demokrasi Indonesia yang berdiri pada tanggal 10 Januari 1973. Partai Demokrasi Indonesia itu lahir dari hasil fusi 5 (lima) partai politik.

Kelima partai politik tersebut yaitu :

1. Partai Nasional Indonesia (PNI)

PNI didirikan Bung Karno tanggal 4 Juli 1927 di Bandung. Dengan mengusung nilai-nilai dan semangat nasionalisme, PNI kemudian berkembang pesat dalam waktu singkat. Karena dianggap berbahaya oleh penguasa kolonial, tanggal 29 Desember 1929 semua kantor dan rumah pimpinan PNI digeledah. Bung Karno, Maskun, Supriadinata dan Gatot Mangkupraja ditangkap. Berdasarkan keputusan yang ditetapkan Raad van Justitie tanggal 17 April 1931, mereka dipidana penjara. Keputusan ini diartikan mencap PNI sebagai suatu organisasi yang terlarang. Setelah tanggal 3 November 1945 keluar Maklumat Pemerintah tentang pembentukan Partai Politik. Dengan landasan tersebut, tanggal 29 Januari 1946 di Kediri PNI dibentuk oleh partai-partai yang tergabung dalam Serikat Rakyat Indonesia atau di kenal dengan Serrindo pada waktu itu, PNI Pati, PNI Madiun, PNI Palembang, PNI Sulawesi, kemudian Partai Republik Indonesia Madiun, Partai Kedaulatan Rakyat Yogya, dan ada beberapa lagi partai kecil lainnya yang berada di Kediri. Fusi ini terjadi ketika ada Konggres Serrindo yang pertama di Kediri. Dalam Kongres tersebut PNI dinyatakan memiliki ciri Sosio-Nasionalisne-Demokrasi yang merupakan asas dan cara perjuangan yang dicetuskan Bung Karno untuk menghilangkan kapitalisme, imperialisme dan kolonialisme. Pengunaan asas ini diasosiasikan sebagai "kebangkitan kembali PNI 1927" yang pernah didirikan Bung Karno.

2. Partai Kristen Indonesia (Parkindo)

Parkindo adalah partai yang didirikan karena ada maklumat pada waktu itu, ia baru berdiri tahun 1945 tepatnya pada tanggal 18 November 1945 yang diketuai Ds Probowinoto.

Parkindo merupakan penggabungan dari partai-partai Kristen lokal seperti PARKI (Partai Kristen Indonesia) di Sumut, PKN (Partai Kristen Nasional) di Jakarta dan PPM (Partai Politik Masehi) di Pematang Siantar.

3. Partai Katolik

Partai Katolik lahir kembali pada tanggal 12 Desember 1945 dengan nama PKRI (Partai Katolik Republik Indonesia) merupakan kelanjutan dari atau sempalan dari Katolik Jawi, yang dulunya bergabung dengan partai Katolik. Sebenarnya partai ini pada tahun 1917-an itu sudah ada. Partai ini berdiri pada tahun 1923 di Yogyakarta yang didirikan oleh umat Katolik Jawa yang diketuai oleh F.S. Harijadi kemudian diganti oleh I.J. Kasimo dengan nama Pakepalan Politik Katolik Djawi (PPKD). Pada Pemilu 1971 Partai Katolik meraih 606.740 suara (1,11%) sehingga di DPR mendapat 3 kursi.

4. Ikatan Pendukung Kemerdekaan Indonesia (IPKI)

IPKI atau Ikatan Pendukung Kemerdekaan Indonesia adalah partai yang didirikan terutama oleh tentara. IPKI sejak lahirnya mencanangkan Pancasila, semangat proklamasi dan UUD 1945 sebagai cirnya. Tokoh dibalik pendirian IPKI adalah AH. Nasution, Kol Gatot Subroto dan Kol Azis Saleh. Kelahirannya didasari oleh UU No. 7 tahun 1953 tentang Pemilu 1955.

Dalam pemilu itu anggota ABRI aktif dapat dipilih melalui pemilu dan duduk di Konstituante. IPKI didirikan pada tanggal 20 Mei 1954 kurang lebih satu tahun sebelum pemilu tahun 1955 yang berlangsung bulan September. Waktu itu, Jenderal Besar Nasution yang berpangkat kolonel, terlibat pada peristiwa yang sangat terkenal yaitu peristiwa 27 Oktober.

Kedekatan dengan Golkar, menjelang Deklarasi PDI 1973 IPKI pernah berpikir untuk bergabung ke Golkar. Tanggal 12 Maret 1970 Presiden Soeharto memberi jawaban atas permintaan Achmad Sukarmadidjaja bahwa IPKI bisa bergabung ke Golkar dengan syarat harus membubarkan diri lebih dahulu.

IPKI cukup spesifik dan memiliki dukungan yang konkrit menurut pemilu 1955 kecuali sedikit di Jawa Barat, demikian juga dengan Murba. Hanya memiliki dukungan yang sangat sedikit di Jawa Barat kurang lebih 290.000-an orang. Pada Pemilu 1971 IPKI hanya mampu memperoleh 388.403 (0,62 %) sehingga tidak mendapat satupun kursi di DPR.

5. Murba

Murba didirikan pada tanggal 7 November 1948 setelah Tan Malaka keluar dari penjara. Murba adalah gabungan Partai Rakyat, Partai Rakyat Jelata dan Partai Indonesia Buruh Merdeka.Menurut data Kementrian Penerangan RI tentang "Kepartaian di Indonesia" seri Pepora No. 8, Jakarta, 1981, istilah Murba mengacu pada pengertian "golongan rakyat yang terbesar yang tidak mempunyai apa-apa, kecuali otak dan tenaga sendiri".

Asas partai ini antifasisme, anti imperialisme-kapitalisme dengan tujuan akhirnya mewujudkan masyarakat sosialisme.Meski program Murba membela rakyat kecil dan kaum tertindas, dukungan riil rakyat terhadap Murba kurang begitu kuat. Terbukti dalam Pemilu 1971 partai ini tidak memperoleh satu pun kursi di DPR karena hanya mampu meraih 48.126 suara (0,09 %).

Proses fusi terjadi sebenarnya hanya untuk menjamin kemenangan kekuatan Orde Baru. Pada saat itu penguasa Orde Baru mengaktifkan Sekretariat Bersama (Sekber) Golongan Karya (Golkar) yang proses pembentukannya didukung oleh militer. Tap MPRS No.XXII/MPRS/1966 tentang Kepartaian, Keormasan, dan Kekaryaan disebutkan agar Pemerintah bersama Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Gotong royong (DPR-GR) segera membuat Undang-Undang untuk mengatur kepartaian, keormasan dan kekaryaan yang menuju pada penyederhanaan. Gagasan agar supaya fusi untuk pertama kali tahun 1970.

Namun pemerintah Orde Baru saat itu tetap menginginkan pengelompokan sesuai yang diajukan sebelumnya hingga akhirnya gagasan yang diusulkan oleh tokoh-tokoh tersebut tidak pernah terwujud.

Pada tanggal 9 Maret 1970 pertemuan pimpinan lima partai tersebut berlanjut ditempat yang sama dengan agenda pokok yaitu penyelesaian deklarasi atau pernyataan bersama dan pokok-pokok pikiran selanjutnya. Dalam pertemuan ini berhasil membentuk tim perumus yang terdiri dari Mh. Isnaeni, M Supangat, Murbantoko, Lo Ginting dan Sabam Sirait. Tim perumus menghasilkan "Pernyataan Bersama" yang ditanda tangani oleh ketua partai masing-masing, yakni Hardi (PNI), M Siregar (Parkindo), VB Da Costa (Partai Katolik), achmad sukarmadidjaja (IPKI) dan Sukarni (Murba).

Setelah melalui proses yang panjang akhirnya pada tanggal 10 Januari 1973 tepat jam 24.00 dalam pertemuan Majelis Permusyawaratan Kelompok Pusat (MPKP) yang mengadakan pembicaraan sejak jam 20.30 di Kantor Sekretariat PNI di Jalan Salemba Raya 73 Jakarta, Kelompok Demokrasi dan Pembangunan melaksanakan fusi 5 Partai Politik menjadi satu wadah Partai yang bernama Partai Demokrasi Indonesia meskipun pada awal fusi sebenarnya muncul 3 (tiga) kemungkinan nama untuk fusi menjadi :

1. Partai Demokrasi Pancasila

2. Partai Demokrasi Pembangunan

3. Partai Demokrasi Indonesia

Deklarasi ditandatangani oleh wakil kelima partai yaitu MH. Isnaeni dan Abdul Madjid mewakili Partai Nasional Indonesia, A. Wenas dan Sabam Sirait Mewakili Partai Kristen Indonesia, Beng Mang Rey Say dan FX. Wignyosumarsono mewakili Partai Katolik, S. Murbantoko R. J. Pakan mewakili Partai Murba dan Achmad Sukarmadidjaja dan Drs. Mh. Sadri mewakili Partai Ikatan Pendukung Kemerdekaan Indonesia (IPKI). Dengan dideklarasikannya fusi kelima partai tersebut, maka lahirlah Partai Demokrasi Indonesia.

Setelah deklarasi fusi tersebut, selanjutnya untuk memenuhi poin 3 Deklarasi fusi, dibentuk tim penyusun Piagam Perjuangan, AD/ART, struktur organisasi dan prosedur yang diperlukan melaksanakan fusi tersebut.

Tim yang dikenal sebagai Tim 10 itu semula diketuai Sunawar Sukowati (PNI) tapi kemudian diganti Sudjarwo (PNI) karena penugasan Sunawar sebagai duta besar.

Pada tanggal 13 Januari 1973 Majelis Pimpinan Partai (MPP) terbentuk, Sabtu 14 Januari 1973 jam 01.20 pagi Partai Demokrasi Indonesia (PDI) berhasil menyusun struktur dan personalia Dewan Pimpinan Pusat sampai terselenggaranya Kongres Nasional. Susunan kepengurusan DPP PDI sebagai berikut :

I. MAJELIS PIMPINAN PUSAT (beranggotakan 25 orang) :

II. DEWAN PIMPINAN PUSAT (beranggotakan 11 orang)

DPP PDI bersama Tim 10 pada tanggal 8-10 Juni 1973 di Cibogo Bogor berhasil menyelesaikan AD/ART PDI dan telah disahkan dalam rapat DPP PDI tanggal 26 Juli 1973 serta dikukuhkan dalam rapat MPP PDI di kediaman hasyim Ning pada tanggal 4 Agustus 1973.

Sementara Piagam dan Program Perjuangan Partai dikukuhkan dalam rapat MPP PDI tanggal 19-20 September 1973.

Untuk memenuhi poin 4 Deklarasi Fusi, kelima partai yakni PNI, Parkindo, Partai Katolik, IPKI, Murba mengadakan forum internal masing-masing partai. PNI menyelenggarakan Munas tanggal 27-28 Januari 1973 di Jakarta yang memutuskan bahwa masalah fusi dengan partai-partai lain tidak dipersoalkan dan menyetujui kebijakan DPP PNI dalam menghadapi fusi. Parkindo mengadakan Sidang Dewan Partai VII yang diperluas pada tanggal 8-10 Juli 1973 di Sukabumi hasilnya menyetujui kebijakan DPP Parkindo berfusi dalam PDI.

Kongres I PDI berlangsung dari tanggal 12 - 13 April 1976. Pelaksanaan Kongres I ini sempat tertunda-tunda akibat adanya konflik internal. Di dalam Kongres I ini intervensi pemerintah sangat kuat, pemerintah memplot Sanusi Hardjadinata agar terpilih. Dan hasilnya Sanusi Hardjadinata terpilih secara aklamasi sebagai Ketua Umum DPP PDI.

Namun Kongres II PDI tetap berlangsung pada tanggal 13-17 Januari 1981 mengambil tema : "Dengan Menggalang Persatuan dan Kesatuan Dalam Rangka Memantapkan Fusi, Meningkatkan Peranan dan Partisipasi PDI Untuk Mensukseskan Pembangunan".Di dalam Kongres II ini campur tangan pemerintah semakin kuat. Meskipun ada keberatan terhadap pelaksanaan Kongres tersebut, Kongres II PDI tetap berjalan. Pemerintah tetap mengizinkan penyelenggaraan Kongres tersebut dan Presiden Soeharto yang membuka acara Kongres II PDI. Di dalam Kongres II PDI menghasilkan kesepakatan-kesepakatan diantara partai-partai pendukung PDI yang berkonflik. Kongres II PDI akhirnya menyepakati bahwa fusi telah tuntas.

Akhirnya Kongres III PDI diselenggarakan sebelum Pemilu yaitu pada tanggal 15-18 April 1986 di Wisma haji Pondok Gede, Jakarta. Kongres III dapat diselenggarakan karena Sunawar Soekawati meninggal dunia. Di dalam Kongres ini semaki menegaskan kuatnya ketergantungan PDI pada Pemerintah.

Kongres III PDI gagal dan menyerahkan penyusunan pengurus kepada Pemerintah. Pada waktu itu yang berperan adalah Mendagri Soepardjo Rustam, Pangab Jenderal Benny Moerdani dan Menteri Muda Sekretaris Kabinet Moerdiono. Konflik internal terus berlanjut sampai dengan dilaksanakannya Kongres IV PDI di Medan.

Kongres IV PDI diselenggarakan tanggal 21-25 Juli 1993 di Aula Hotel Tiara, Medan, Sumatera Utara dengan peserta sekitar 800 orang. Dalam Kongres tersebut muncul beberapa nama calon Ketua Umum yang akan bersaing dengan Soerjadi, yakni Aberson Marle Sihaloho, Budi Hardjono, Soetardjo Soerjogoeritno dan Tarto Sudiro, kemudian muncul nama Ismunandar yang merupakan Wakil Ketua DPD DKI Jakarta. Budi Hardjono saat itu disebut-sebut sebagai kandidat kuat yang didukung Pemerintah. Tarto Sudiro maju sebagai calon Ketua Umum didukung penuh oleh Megawati Soekarnoputri. Saat itu posisi Megawati belum bisa tampil mengingat situasi dan kondisi politik masih belum memungkinkan.

Kongres IV PDI di Medan dibuka oleh Presiden Soeharto dan acara tersebut berjalan lancar. Namun beberapa jam kemudian acara Kongres menjadi ricuh karena datang para demonstran yang dipimpin oleh Jacob Nuwa Wea mencoba menerobos masuk ke arena sidang Kongres namun dihadang satuan Brimob. Acara tetap berlangsung sampai terpilihnya kembali Soerjadi secara aklamasi sebagai Ketua Umum, namun belum sampai penyusunan kepengurusan suasana Kongres kembali ricuh karena aksi demonstrasi yng dipimpin oleh Jacob Nuwa Wea berhasil menerobos masuk ke arena Kongres.

Kondisi demikian membuat pemerintah mengambil alih melalui mendagri Yogie S Memed mengusulkan membentuk caretaker. Dalam rapat formatur yang dipimpin Latief Pudjosakti Ketua DPD PDI jatim pada tanggal 25-27 Agustus 1993 akhirnya diputuskan susunan resmi caretaker DPP PDI . Setelah gagalnya Kongres IV PDI yang berlangsung di Medan, muncul nama Megawati Soekarnoputri yang diusung oleh warga PDI untuk tampil menjadi Ketua Umum. Megawati Soekarnoputri dianggap mampu menjadi tokoh pemersatu PDI.

Dukungan tersebut muncul dari DPC berbagai daerah yang datang kekediamannya pada tanggal 11 September 1993 sebanyak lebih dari 100 orang yang berasal dari 70 DPC. Mereka meminta Megawati tampil menjadi kandidat Ketua Umum DPP PDI melalui Kongres Luar Biasa (KLB) yang digelar pada tanggal 2-6 Desember 1993 di Asrama Haji Sukolilo, Surabaya.

Dukungan terhadap Megawati semakin kuat dan semakin melejit dalam bursa calon Ketua Umum DPP PDI. Muncul kekhawatiran Pemerintah dengan fenomena tersebut. Pemerintah tidak ingin Megawati tampil dan untuk menghadang laju Megawati ke dalam bursa pencalonan Ketua Umum, dalam acara Rapimda PDI Sumatera Utara tanggal 19 Oktober 1993 yang diadakan dalam rangka persiapan KLB muncul larangan mendukung pencalonan Megawati.

Kendati penghadangan oleh Pemerintah terhadap Megawati untuk tidak maju sebagai kandidat Ketua Umum sangat kuat, keinginan sebagian besar peserta KLB untuk menjadikan Megawati sebagai Ketua Umum DPP PDI tidak dapat dihalangi hingga akhirnya Megawati dinyatakan sebagai Ketua Umum DPP PDI periode 1993-1998 secara de facto.

Untuk menyelesaikan konflik PDI, beberapa hari setelah KLB, Mendagri bertemu Megawati, DPD-DPD dan juga caretaker untuk menyelenggarakan Munas dalam rangka membentuk formatur dan menyusun kepengurusan DPP PDI. Akhirnya Musyawarah Nasional (Munas) dilaksanakan tanggal 22-23 Desember 1993 di Jakarta dan secara de jure Megawati Soekarnoputri dikukuhkan sebagai Ketua Umum DPP PDI.

Dalam Munas ini dihasilkan kepengurusan DPP PDI periode 1993-1998. Berakhirnya Munas ternyata tidak mengakhiri konflik internal PDI.

Kelompok Yusuf Merukh membentuk DPP PDI Reshuffle walau tidak diakui oleh Pemerintah namun kegiatannya tidak pernah dilarang. Disamping itu kelompok Soerjadi sangat gencar melakukan penggalangan ke daerah-daerah dengan tujuan untuk mendapatkan dukungan menggelar Kongres. Dari 28 pengurus DPP PDI, 16 orang anggota DPP PDI berhasil dirangkulnya untuk menggelar Kongres.

Ketua Umum DPP PDI, Megawati Soekarnoputri menolak tegas diselenggarakannya "Kongres", kemudian pada tanggal 5 Juni 1996, empat orang deklaratir fusi PDI yakni Mh Isnaeni, Sabam Sirait, Abdul Madjid dan Beng Mang Reng Say mengadakan jumpa pres menolak Kongres.Kelompok Fatimah Achmad yang didukung oleh Pemerintah tetap menyelenggarakan Kongres pada tanggal 2-23 Juni 1996 di Asrama Haji Medan dengan didukung penjagaan yang sangat ketat dari aparat keamanan lengkap dengan panser.

Pagar Asrama Haji tempat kegiatan berlangsung ditinggikan dengan kawat berduri setinggi dua meter. Disamping itu di persimpangan jalan dilakukan pemeriksaan Kartu Tanda Penduduk terhadap orang-orang yang melintas.

Warga PDI yang tetap setia mendukung Megawati demonstrasi secara besar-besaran pada tanggal 20 Juni 1996 memprotes Kongres rekayasa yang diselenggarakan oleh kelompok Fatimah Achmad, demontrasi itu berakhir bentrok dengan aparat dan saat ini dikenal dengan "Peristiwa Gambir Berdarah".

Meskipun masa pendukung Megawati yang menolak keras Kongres Medan, namun Pemerintah tetap mengakui hasil Kongres tersebut. Pemerintah mengakui secara formal keberadaan DPP PDI hasil Kongres Medan dan menyatakan PDI hasil Kongres Medan sebagai peserta Pemilu tahun 1997.

Tanggal 25 Juli 1996 Presiden Soeharto menerima 11 pengurus DPP PDI hasil Kongres Medan yang dipimpin oleh Soerjadi selaku Ketua Umum dan Buttu Hutapea selaku Sekretaris Jenderal. Hal ini semakin membuat posisi Megawati dan para pengikutnya semakin terpojok. Masa pendukung Megawati mengadakan "Mimbar Demokrasi" dihalaman Kantor DPP PDI di Jalan Diponegoro hingga pada tanggal 27 Juli 1996, kantor DPP PDI diserbu oleh ratusan orang berkaos merah yang bermaksud mengambil alih kantor DPP PDI. Peristiwa ini kemudian dikenal dengan Peristiwa "Sabtu Kelabu 27 Juli" yang banyak menelan korban jiwa.

Pasca peristiwa 27 Juli, Megawati beserta jajaran pengurusnya masih tetap eksis walaupun dengan berpindah-pindah kantor dan aktivitas yang dilakukan dibawah pantauan Pemerintah.

Pada Pemilu 1997 Megawati melalui Pesan Hariannya menyatakan bahwa PDI dibawah pimpinannya tidak ikut kampanye atas nama PDI. Pemilu 1997 diikuti oleh PDI dibawah kepemimpinan Soerjadi dan hasil Pemilu menunjukan kuatnya dukungan warga PDI kepada Megawati karena hasil Pemilu PDI merosot tajam dan hanya berhasil meraih 11 kursi DPR.

Tahun 1998 membawa angin segar bagi PDI dibawah kepemimpinan Megawati.Di tengah besarnya keinginan masyarakat untuk melakukan reformasi politik, PDI dibawah kepemimpinan Megawati kian berkibar. Pasca Lengsernya Soeharto, dukungan terhadap PDI dibawah kepemimpinan Megawati semakin kuat, sorotan kepada PDI bukan hanya dari dalam negeri tetapi juga dari luar negeri.Pada tanggal 8-10 Oktober 1998, PDI dibawah kepemimpinan Megawati menyelenggarakan Kongres V PDI yang berlangsung di Denpasar Bali.

Kongres I PDI Perjuangan akhirnya menetapkan Megawati Soekarnoputri sebagai Ketua Umum DPP PDI Perjuangan periode 2000-2005 secara aklamasi tanpa pemilihan karena 241 dari 243 DPC mengusulkan nama Megawati sebagai Ketua Umum DPP PDI Perjuangan. Setelah Kongres I PDI Perjuangan tahun 2000, pada tahun 2001 Megawati diangkat menjadi Presiden Republik Indonesia Ke - 5 menggantikan KH Abdurahman Wahid yang diturunkan dalam Sidang Istimewa MPR-RI. Diangkatnya Megawati Soekarnoputri sebagai Presiden RI ke - 5 membawa perubahan pada sikap politik PDI Perjuangan dan cap sebagai partai penguasa melekat di PDI Perjuangan.

Kongres II PDI Perjuangan diselenggarakan pada tanggal 28 - 31 Maret 2005 di Hotel Grand Bali Beach, Denpasar Bali, tempat dimana Kongres V PDI diselenggarakan pada tahun 1998.

Kongres ini selesai 2 hari lebih cepat dari yang dijadwalkan yaitu 28 Maret - 2 April 2005. Menjelang Kongres II PDI Perjuangan diselenggarakan, sudah banyak muncul nama-nama yang akan maju sebagai calon kandidat Ketua Umum DPP PDI Perjuangan antara lain Guruh Soekarnoputra yang digagas oleh Imam Mundjiat Ketua DPD PDI Perjuangan Kalimantan Timur, Laksamana Sukardi, Roy BB Janis, Arifin Panigoro dan Sophan Sophiaan.

Bahwa sesungguhnya cita-cita luhur untuk membangun dan mewujudkan Indonesia yang merdeka, berdaulat, bersatu, demokratis, adil, dan makmur serta berkeadaban dan berketuhanan sebagaimana termaktub dalam Pembukaan UUD 1945 merupakan cita-cita bersama dari seluruh rakyat Indonesia.

Ignition Poker Review

Unlike residents of many foreign countries, who can choose from many reputable poker sites, the options for U.S. players are much more limited. Only three states (New Jersey, Nevada, and Delaware) offer legal state-run online poker rooms, which leaves countless numbers of American players in a quandary about where to take their action.

For the past five years, one of the best options was Bovada Poker, but now that popular poker site has closed. Poker players are an impatient lot, so we know that being without a place to play for any length of time can be frustrating. If you have been sitting on the sidelines due to uncertainty about where to play, it’s time to get the ignition restarted. This Ignition Poker Site Review will tell you all about the brand new online poker room that recently acquired Bovada Poker and has since replaced it. If you are a recreational poker player seeking a safe online environment where you can have fun and make money at the same time, Ignition Poker could be the answer.

Why Ignition Poker is a Good Choice

Many poker players like casino games, too. If you are one of them, we have great news for you. Ignition Poker is part of Ignition Casino, so you can switch back and forth between poker and the casino as often as you like on the same site. Like Bovada Poker previously, Ignition Casino uses a single wallet system, so with one account, you are free to play whatever type of game you want without having to log in again. You can even use your accumulated Poker Points to get casino bonus dollars.

If you used to play poker at Bovada and passed on the special offer to transfer to Ignition Poker by September 30, don’t worry. You can still sign up as a new player at Ignition Casino and receive a generous Welcome Bonus. But the bonus isn’t the only reason why joining Ignition Casino (and Ignition Poker) is a good idea. Ignition Poker is a rebranding of Bovada Poker, with the same exact platform, software, and layout. In fact, early reports suggest that the two poker sites are virtually identical. Of course, there may be some small ways that Ignition Poker is not completely identical to Bovada, but the tremendous similarity should make former Bovada players feel very comfortable in their new surroundings.

Don’t Let the Newness of the Site Deter You

As part of this comprehensive, unbiased Review of Ignition Poker, our experts at PokerSites.com do need to caution you, however, that the entire site, not just the poker room is new, which means the jury is still out on its overall quality. The casino was launched in March, 2016 and the acquisition of Bovada Poker which made the addition of the poker room possible wasn’t announced until August, 2016. Usually we are reluctant to recommend a site with so little online experience, in this case not even a year, but based on the strong ties to Bovada Poker, we feel we can make an exception. We stand behind our statement that Ignition Poker is worthy of your consideration.

Ignition Casino has the same parent company, Betting Partners, as Bovada, Bodog, and Slots.lv, all of which are reputable gambling sites known to be responsible operators that treat their customers fairly. Bovada Poker, the site which Ignition Poker was patterned after, has not been online a long time either (only since 2011), but was introduced as an alternative to Bodog for American players when they could no longer legally access the Bodog site. Because of its direct association with the long running (since 1995) and highly respected Bodog Poker, Bovada Poker’s own credibility was enhanced from day 1, but then, over time, Bovada started receiving rave reviews on its own merits. Now Ignition Poker is the new kid on the block riding on Bovada’s coattails, but we think history will repeat itself and Bovada Poker’s replacement will prove as worthy as its predecessor.

By the way, Bovada is not going out of business. Even though you can no longer play poker there, casino games, sports betting, and horseracing are still being offered

Unfortunately, residents of New Jersey, New York, Delaware, Maryland, and Nevada who are not already existing Bovada players won’t be able to take advantage of these options and they won’t be able to play at Ignition Casino (including Ignition Poker) either.

Software

Ignition Poker uses the same proprietary software as Bovada and Bodog Poker. The casino games, on the other hand, are from two different providers, RealTime Gaming (RTG) and Rival.

If you are using your computer to play, in order to have access to the full poker experience, including tournaments, and take advantage of certain advanced features like multi-tabling, you will need to download the software. The website will detect whether your computer is a Windows PC or Mac and direct you to the appropriate installation page. As long as your computer meets the minimum system requirements (which it should if you purchased it within the last five years), installation is a quick and easy process and you should not have any problems. For starters, Windows users will need Windows 7 or later, 1G or greater memory, and 200 MB or greater free disk space. See the website for the other requirements.

If you prefer instant play, you can save yourself the bother of downloading and get the added convenience of being able to access the games on any browser rather than being tied to your own desktop or laptop. However, you lose the ability to play in tournaments. You can still play cash games and Zone Poker (Ignition Poker’s fast-fold poker game).

Your third option is mobile play. This is a great alternative for anyone who is on the go a lot, especially if no computer is available. However, once again, you won’t be able to multi-table or play in tournaments. See the separate Mobile Play section of this Ignition Poker Review for more information about the Ignition Poker mobile platform.

User Friendly, Even for Beginners

Ignition Poker is a very user-friendly site. When you visit the lobby, you will see four big tabs, each describing a different type of poker game: Cash Games, Zone Poker, Sit and Gos, and Scheduled Tournaments. If you click on Cash Games, you will then be asked to specify your buy-in (micro, low, medium, or high) and whether you want fixed limit, pot limit, or no limit. If you click on tournaments, you will also be asked to narrow down your choice. Then the screen will show the buy-in and status (i.e., registering, taking late registration, or running) of the tournament(s) that fit your criteria. As soon as you complete your selection, you will be directed to an open seat.

Ignition Poker Software Special Features

Unlike most poker sites, but like Bovada Poker, Ignition Poker uses Anonymous Tables. If you have played poker online elsewhere, you probably used a screen name, but Ignition Poker players are simply given a seat number and every time you change tables or start a new session, that number changes. The reason for this practice is to make it difficult or impossible for skilled players to track you and follow you around. For the same reason, third party tracking devices are also not allowed and multi-tabling on cash games is limited to just four tables.

While note taking is allowed at the table you are at, the information disappears afterwards and would be useless anyway because there is no way to know one’s opponents ahead of time. This so called “Recreational Poker Model” works fine for casual players since it keeps away the grinders and sharks who would otherwise prey on them. Of course, all the people who try to make a living doing exactly that hate Anonymous Tables.

Mobile Play

Nowadays, given today’s busy lifestyle, it is almost mandatory for online poker rooms to offer the option to access their games not just on a PC, but also on mobile devices. At one time, the best that mobile players could hope for was that the site’s mobile app would be compatible with their phone or tablet and, if so, locate the app and follow the often less than clear instructions for downloading it. Typically, the apps would be device specific, one designed for Apple iOS devices (iPhones and iPads) and another designed for Android devices.

Many online casinos and poker rooms still run their mobile platforms in this manner. However, recent advances in mobile technology have led to the development of a more efficient application, HTML5, which dispenses with the need for downloading and instead allows anyone to access the games instantly from almost any web browser supported device. The Ignition Poker app has this capability, so regardless of what type of mobile device you have: iPhone (4 or higher), iPad, Android, Windows, or BlackBerry, all you have to do is visit www.ignition.eu from your device’s browser. Then, log in to your account and you are good to go!

Or, if you are brand new to Ignition Casino, you can register and make your first deposit on your mobile device and collect your Welcome Bonus, just like on the computer. If you run into any difficulties, either the mobile help section or Customer Support should be a good resource.

Unfortunately, the Ignition Poker mobile platform is not currently set up to allow tournament play, so you will be limited to regular cash games and Zone Poker. In addition, you can only play one game at a time. The good news is that as a real money mobile player, you earn Poker Points and can make deposits and withdrawals, just like you would online. Alternatively, if you wish, you can test the waters with play money.(It is not clear whether the play money option is also available when using the computer.) Lastly and most importantly, Ignition Poker uses the most advanced digital encryption technology available to ensure that playing your favorite cash games for real money on your smartphone or tablet is completely safe.

Welcome Bonus

Not only the overwhelming majority of online casinos, but many poker sites, too, offer new players signing up for the first time the special incentive of a Welcome Bonus. But Ignition Casino goes above and beyond most sites by offering both a casino bonus and a poker bonus simultaneously. Here is how this two-part 100% up to $1,100 First Deposit Welcome Bonus works.

Make an initial deposit up to $1,100. You will then receive the following:

Casino Bonus: 100% bonus up to $1,000

Poker Bonus: 100% bonus up to $100

If you deposit less than the $1,100 maximum, no problem. For example, if you deposit a total of $300, $200 of your Welcome Bonus money will be in the form of a Casino Bonus and the remaining $100 will be for Poker. It is not clear what happens if you deposit $100 or less. If you are a small player, that is probably what you should do, but be sure to ask whether all of your bonus can be used for poker or, if not, what part of it, must be used in the casino.

Ignition Casino is a full service casino, so you will find no shortage of games with which to clear your bonus (and, if you wish, continue playing in addition to poker later). Choose from slots, video poker, and a wide range of table and parlor games. But before you can withdraw your deposit, bonus, and winnings, you will need to satisfy the hefty (but not unreasonable) playthrough requirement of 25x the bonus + deposit. Since only slots and parlor games count 100% and all other games count only 60% or not at all, we recommend that you stick to slots. That should be no problem at all since Ignition Casino has more than 200 of them!

Some of you may be disappointed that the poker portion of the bonus is capped at only $100, especially since there are other poker sites with more generous offers. But the flip side is that the bigger the bonus, the more of your own money you have to spend and the longer it will take to clear it. Ignition Poker, like many other poker sites, releases the bonus in increments, contingent on playing and earning a specified number of Poker Points, rather than giving it to the player all at once. (Details are on the website.) You have 30 days to clear the bonus in its entirety.

Special Bonuses

Royal Flush

Any Texas Hold ‘Em cash game player who gets a Royal Flush wins an extra bonus of 50x the big blind, up to $200.

Bad Beat

To hit the Bad Beat, your losing hold ‘em cash game hand must be Aces Full of Kings or better and the winning hand Four of a Kind or better. In addition, at least three players must have contributed to the pot and the two hands question must use both pocket cards and go to showdown. Satisfy all those conditions and here’s what you win: 100x the big blind, up to a maximum of $1,000.

Tournament Tickets and Casino Bonuses

Every time you play, you earn Poker Points. Provided you have accumulated enough of them, you can convert them any time (prior to June 1 when they expire) to tournament tickets or casino bonuses. Unfortunately, the tiered loyalty rewards program for casino play called Ignition Rewards does not apply to poker

Tell a Friend

Refer as many friends as you like and receive 200% of each friend’s first deposit up to $100. However, before you can withdraw the bonus or any associated winnings, you will need to meet the specified wagering requirements, which you can do either playing poker or casino games. See the website for details.

Banking Methods

Banking is an area where, frankly, Ignition Poker players deserve better, but for now, these are your options.

Deposits:

• MasterCard


• Visa


• American Express


• Discover


• Rapid Transfer


• Bitcoin

Starting 10/1/16, a fee is incurred on all deposits except Bitcoin.

Withdrawals

• Check by Courier ( Minimum: $100 Maximum: $3,000)


• Bitcoin (Minimum: $20 Maximum: $3,000)

Bitcoin transactions are processed every three days. Checks take 5-10 business days. See the website for helpful tips on how to set up a Bitcoin account if you don’t already have one.

As mentioned, you can do your banking either online or on your mobile device. Either way, all of your transactions are completely secure.

Traffic

Present traffic is reported to be around 1,000-3,000 players at a time. Considering that this is a brand new site, these figures aren’t bad. The migration of many former Bovada Poker players to Ignition Poker has no doubt given this site a big boost. Expect more growth in traffic as more players learn about this site, especially if it lives up to its expectations and continues to receive favorable reviews.

Poker Formats

Cash Games

Don’t expect to find every variation of poker under the sun on this site. But if you are a casual recreational player, you will probably be perfectly content choosing from the cash games that Ignition Poker does offer: fixed limit, pot limit, and no limit hold ‘em and Omaha and Omaha Hi-Lo. Hold ‘Em is by far the most popular game, and even in the off hours, finding a seat should be no problem. Take your pick from heads-up, 6-max, and 9-max tables. Stakes range from 2 cents/5 cents to $10/$20.

Or, if you want a game with even more of an adrenaline rush, try the fast-fold poker game called Zone Poker. Playing for micro stakes (2 cents/5 cents up to a maximum of 50 cents/$1) might not be everyone’s cup of tea. But the combination of having only 15 seconds to act and having to change tables every time you fold makes for a very fast paced and exciting game.

Tournaments

It’s too bad that the only way to take advantage of the packed tournament schedule on this poker site is to download the software on your computer, but if you do, you won’t be disappointed. Ignition Poker has enough sit and gos and scheduled guaranteed tournaments running daily to suit any player’s tastes and bankroll. Spend as little as $1.10 or as much as $215. There are also plenty of variations to choose from, like turbo, rebuy, and bounty tournaments, just to name a few. But if you want a shot at some really big money ($20K or more for first place), we recommend the Sunday 4 p.m. $100K Guaranteed Tournament. If you can’t afford the $162 entrance fee, you can try the satellite qualifier route.

Then, for those of you for whom no amount of tournament action is too much, you better get some rest while you can because Mad Monday is just ahead. From 1:18 p.m. to 11:18 p.m., a new tournament gets underway every hour!

A Site You Can Trust

Given the newness of this online poker room, it is understandable if you might have some reservations about giving Ignition Casino and Ignition Poker a try. However, we can assure you that the site is trustworthy. For starters, it is fully licensed, regulated, and certified by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission This organization, located in the Mowhawk Territory of Kahnawake just outside of Montreal, Canada, also licenses and regulates Bovada and many other well-run online gambling sites and has an excellent reputation. Furthermore, much like Bovada Poker was launched as a rebranding of Bodog Poker, Ignition Poker is a rebranding of Bovada Poker, with the same parent company, software, policies, and games. Based on the favorable feedback early on, there is every reason to believe that Ignition Poker will live up to the quality of its predecessor.

Ignition Casino, including Ignition Poker, takes its responsibility to maintain the security of the site and fairness of its games very seriously. Through the use of advanced state-of-the-art encryption technology, all financial transactions are fully protected for online and mobile players alike. In addition, the implementation of a “Recreational Poker Model,” including Anonymous Tables, is evidence of this poker site’s dedicated commitment to making sure all players, including beginners, have a fair chance to win

PokerStars is a Scam and Not Legit

Since 2001, PokerStars has been among the most prominent online poker brands. The company was one of the driving factors in the meteoric success of its young industry, and always offered strong security measures and customer support.

PokerStars had a strong reputation ten years ago, but that all began to change in late 2006 when the U.S. passed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. This act made it illegal for PokerStars to accept US players and illegal for US banks to process payments related to online poker.

The biggest online poker site in the world at the time, PartyPoker, immediately accepted and followed this new US law, and left the USA market. PokerStars, however, disregarded the US government and continued to operate in the US. We feel this choice started PokerStars down a road of shadiness which leads us to our opinion today – that PokerStars is a scam.

PokerStars realized it was breaking US law by continuing to accept US players and eventually abandoned the US market. The company lost a lot of money and a significant portion of its customer base.

About PokerStars

PokerStars has been in business for over 15 years. Although the company started as a play-money service only, the focus has been on real-money poker for more than a decade. After neglecting the USA UIEGEA law of 2006, the company reached a settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice in 2012. This settlement allowed PokerStars to return to the U.S. – in Nevada and New Jersey – which had legalized online gambling.

On April 15, 2011, the Department of Justice seized the pokerstars.com domain name, along with fulltiltpoker.com and several others. On April 20, the pokerstars.com and fulltiltpoker.com domain names were returned for the purpose of helping to facilitate the withdrawal of US players’ funds.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Scheinberg

PokerStars was forced to leave the US market at this time.

Prior to the seizure, PokerStars could not legally provide service to U.S. residents, but they continued to for a time because it was profitable and because that law was difficult to enforce with them operating entirely outside the United States. The company is located in the Isle of Man and acquired a European Union gambling license through Malta.

Is PokerStars Rigged?

The most concerning question about PokerStars is whether the service is rigged. Admittedly, there is some compelling video evidence on YouTube of sponsored PokerStars players beating the odds on multiple occasions during a number of big events. PokerStars spends a lot of money on its sponsorships, and it behooves the brand to have these professional players be successful. The nature of online play, however, is that it is more difficult for a pro player to be consistently successful. Therefore, PokerStars has motivation, and the company has chosen to ignore rather than dispute the video evidence.

Keep in mind that PokerStars has no incentive to rig poker games outside of sponsored play. The revenues that PokerStars earns is based on the total pot no matter who wins it. In addition, VIP rewards are earned based on the amount staked not the amount won or lost. For that reason, it is very difficult to believe that PokerStars would rig games on a regular basis, and there is no concrete proof to suggest that PokerStars has done so.

In the end, there are a lot of conspiracy theories surrounding rigged games and rigged decks, but overall it’s difficult to believe that PokerStars would actually fix the deck or the dealing of cards… but you never know.

Data Analysis and Breach of Privacy

It is worth noting that there were at least two independent analyses of the PokerStars dealer mechanism that presented data outside the norm. For some, this data was evidence that PokerStars was rigging standard games or at least that the dealer mechanism was not random.

PokerStars did react to this story by providing these studies with more comprehensive data sets to work with. In doing so, PokerStars breached the privacy contract with its players. Although user names were stripped, hand logs are publicly available, and it is possible to associate individual players with the released data.

Does PokerStars Cheat Players?

A much bigger concern of whether PokerStars games are rigged is whether the company is actually cheating players out of winnings. A quick search online will reveal a sharp increase in the last several years of players making complaints about having their accounts seized, bankrolls reduced when making a withdrawal, withdrawals refused, bonuses voided for no reason and so forth.

PokerStars turns a profit on every real-money player no matter how much he or she wins. Nevertheless, there is incentive to be even more profitable in a highly competitive market, and PokerStars would not be the first online gambling service to increase profits by exploiting consumers.

PokerStars does not want money leaving the system, so players that earn profits and routinely withdraw cash from the site are not good for the site.

In fact, PokerStars purchased Full Tilt Poker and continues to manage and operate this brand – a brand that is synonymous with the term ponzi scheme. Full Tilt Poker had rampant cheating going – and this is a fact. Directors of the company took money directly from players’ accounts and purchased homes, cars, jewelry, and more.

To this day, countless players and business partners are owed money from Full Tilt. PokerStars did not fully satisfy these commitments even though they now own and are responsible for the Full Tilt brand.

Better Business Bureau

Another point of concern for poker players considering PokerStars is that the company has never received accreditation from the Better Business Bureau. This was true prior to the UIGEA, and it is true even now in the states where the brand has a legal presence.

The BBB does track international companies, however, and although it has not accredited or rated PokerStars, it does have a file for the company in nearly every state. There are a significant number of complaints on file, and we urge everyone to check with their local BBB to consider local experiences with the PokerStars brand.

Is PokerStars Trustworthy?

The most egregious act destroying any remaining goodwill PokerStars may have had came very recently. On May 1, 2015, PokerStars sent an email to its online marketing partners drastically changing the terms of their agreements, causing significant damage to all of their Internet partners for their own benefit.

Marketing partners of PokerStars had an agreement – that they would receive a certain percentage of the revenues that PokerStars earned off players referred by that partner. And that revenue share plan would persist for the life of the player.

On May 1, 2015, PokerStars unilaterally changed the terms to only compensate their marketing partners for only two years.

AND POKERSTARS MADE THIS RULING RETROACTIVE.

What this means is that marketing partners that have been supporting and promoting PokerStars for years and years will lose all revenues from those players. They will only get compensated for players from the past 2 years. For partners that have been sending PokerStars traffic for over a decade, built up a sizable database of players, and developed those players, will lose 90-95% of their marketing revenues.

Basically, this is a breach of contract and PokerStars is more than willing to completely screw their partners.

You can read the full email below:

Email from PokerStars

If PokerStars is willing to do this to their business partners, then what are they willing to do to their players?

If you win a big tournament, what prevents PokerStars from immediately changing their terms to not pay you out?! NOTHING.

We believe that all of these poor decisions stemmed from the fact that PokerStars decided to break US law by continuing to offer their services to Americans.

Because PokerStars broke US law, they had to pay huge fines to the US Department of Justice. PokerStars paid $731 million to the US government to settle the charges of bank fraud and evading US restrictions on online poker.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/nathanvardi/2012/07/31/pokerstars-will-pay-547-million-to-settle-u-s-government-charges-and-buy-full-tilt-poker/

PokerStars was guilty – and when online poker became legalized in New Jersey, Nevada, and Delaware, with the potential of California coming next, some laws had a bad actor clause – which disallowed PokerStars from entering the market since they were illegally operating in the US previously.

Amaya Only Cares About Its Bottom Line

Associating with the owners – the Scheinbergs – prevented PokerStars from entering US markets, which eventually led to the sale of PokerStars to Amaya. And this new change of ownership has led to the issues we see today. Amaya does not care about the players or the business partners of PokerStars.

Amaya added a 2.5% foreign currency transaction fee when depositing or withdrawing funds into PokerStars. And it did this WITHOUT NOTIFYING ANY OF ITS PLAYERS. This was just an added tax to increase Amaya’s bottom line.

Amaya increased the rake at PokerStars in late 2014! Rakes were increased on cash games, mtt’s, sit-n-go’s… basically everywhere. Again, this is another tax added to increase Amaya’s bottom line at the expense of the customer base.

And the final straw is Amaya’s destruction of it’s partnership agreements – changing their compensation from the life of the player to two years is utterly devastating to their list of long-established and trusted marketing partners.

If you do business on the Internet or play online poker, you simply can’t trust Amaya. Sorry, but we have to call it. PokerStars is a scam.

I"m pretty sure the random number generator they use bases it"s decision on the cards pre-flop.
So for example If its AK vs JJ the software decides there and then who"s going to win by the end and then generates cards based on that, giving the game more action and excitement.
Personally I don"t mind.
I"d say if you"re a cash player then stay clear!
If you"re a tournament player then yeah it"s a lot of fun x

Ultra Let Down

I used to play on Ultimate Bet, got some firsts there, won some money, this would be back in 2009 or so.

Now I try out pokerstars, reviews say it is the hardest poker site to win on but is the most popular by far. My plan is to get bankrolled and move upwards.

At first all I can do is win! My bankroll increases, I notice some phony bad beats that go in my favor, I choose to learn from them. I make note of the patterns involved.

A week down the road I begin losing, the bad beats begin to be on me, I learn harder. I learn people use HUDs to detect leaks in game play and to tighten up strategies and that the majority of fish are not aware of this technology. I decide to evolve my game play to become unpredictable so that HUDs can not nail me down. This involves folding certain valued hands when I feel something isn"t right, raising with garbage, flat calling with the nuts. I begin to hit final tables using no HUD software.

However, after a month of switching up my routines my non-routines become a routine and I begin losing. I get a HUD. This makes me a clone and a terrible player because I do what everyone else does now and become highly predictable.

Poker Stars, along with their flops that suck 3+ players into the mix on the flop only to create improbable and unexpected results by the river is a study in abusing algorithms to take advantage of human greed and impulsiveness. Poker is tapping into our dopamine receptors in the first place and the 5 card set ups are just elevating that scenario to the next level.

It is actually terrifying to watch how easily a little bit of coding can manipulate human thought and action.

Anyway, having realized there are these algorithms, I tried to learn how the card patterns work. Mostly it comes down to: if you flopped the nuts, you must find a way to shake everyone else off before the end of the turn or you will lose. And good luck with that, there are all-in addicts and calling stations out there at every level of the game.

Which is why I quit playing on this site. There is no predicting outcomes properly and as has been reported over and over people will shove all in with pretty well everything. I have video of AA (best starting hand) being destroyed by 72(worst starting hand) so there you go, structure of hold em out the window and no longer viable.

I gave the rating 1 star. Having said that:

-when gambling situations are manufactured by algorithm
-when there is not a natural and real chance to win tournaments
-when you play vs the software and coding

then you deserve ZERO stars.

CORRUPT CHEATERS

This is the third time my account has been frozen. The last two times resulted in my account being emptied of the funds. I didn’t realize Full Tilt Poker was PokerStars or I would never have opened an account nevertheless deposited money. All the complaints you read are true about stealing money, rigged games and being asked for verification over and over while the account remains frozen and they hold your funds for days on end. The only way to reach them is through email which they just ignore and only reply to ask for further verification which you provide and still no action on their part. Stay away these reviews are not exaggerations or isolated incidents!!!

Feb 10, 2019

Big Stack Favouritism

Among many other obvious manipulations within their system the most glaringly obvious one is what I call "big stack favouritism". How this is not noticed by every single player who uses this site I do not know. If you get your chips in against someone with more chips, it doesn"t matter how far ahead of you are you will be knocked out by them 90% of the time and I would say that genuniely isn"t an exaggerated figure.

If you somehow haven"t noticed this go and play a re-buy tournament or a make progress in a satellite tournament, see what happens when it gets closer to the end, if you"re short-stacked you"re f**ked, flopped set of aces still won"t stand a chance against any two cards in the deck if there is one more outs and the villain holds more chips than you. It"s a disgrace.

The idiots who defend these corrupt w@**ers always use variance as the answer, simply put, no, variance does not hold enough weight in explaining what happens on Pokerstars. They also berate any haters of Stars for a lack of evidence. So, on that note, while the sample size might not be huge the study is in depth, sound and thorough so take a look and see if there might not be at least something legitimate to bring up about that horrible joke of a site.

Bots on the table?

I"ve played many times on Pokerstars and I"ve noticed many strange things that just don"t seem to add up and appear unusual compared to traditional poker room play.

Just yesterday, for example, I was playing in a pokerstars tournament and I had an unusual all-in call from the player (bot?) to my immediate left. This player was the table chip leader but was playing very conservatively before that hand. 2 players with short stacks (under 2k) moved all-in before it was my turn. I had AK and saw this as good opportunity to knock out these two players out without too much loss if it did not work out (I was second in chips at my table with about 10k).

The tight player to my left (table chip leader at about 15k) called my all-in. When that happened I assumed that he must have had a premium hand (KK, AA?). But he did not. He had 86 off suit. This call based on his previous play made no sense. I wasn"t playing wildly and there was no way I saw this coming.

What was devastating is that I hit an ace on the flop but my opponent knocked me out by rivering a third 8. Pretty screwed up don"t you think. I"ve noticed stuff like this many times on Pokerstars and seriously doubt things are fair for regular players there.

Feb 10, 2019

marginal hands

If you have AA, QQ or KK, you will get beat 8/10 times. If you pick up a set on the flop, you will get beat 5/10 times. However, PS is fun and full of action, but it is NOT normal variance. IF you are a winning pokerplayer, dont bother to play at PS, because no strategy will be even 60% bulletproof

Feb 7, 2019

scam

Believe this or not; Playing heads up....remember...heads up. I have QJo. Flop comes K Q and 10 (all hearts). I bet and he calls. I figure he has a heart flush draw. On fourth st, another Q. Looks good. I bet and he calls. Still looking for his flush. River comes with J heart. He filled his flush, but I have a full house (QQQJJ). All in. He calls. He filled his flush alright, a ROYAL FLUSH. Can anyone give me the odds of a royal flush and a full house in heads up on the same deal.

Feb 7, 2019

heads up

Playing heads up....remember Heads Up. The other player lands a heart ROYAL FLUSH on the river.....But the best part...……..I land a full house on the river (QQQJJ). What the fck are the odds of that????

Total Scam

I have been trying for 3 weeks to withdraw my money to no avail. Even though they used my MasterCard to deposit my funds and their written policy is that they will use the same method when you withdraw funds, they won"t. Instead they said I had to go through a MuchBetter account. Then they said to use Netteller. In both cases they said they would send a verification code. Neither did. I"m just glad the the amount was not significant. Better to lose $120 than lose thousands. Beware of these scam artists.

bad beat city!!

Thought I"d contribute the bad beat that made me drop PS once and for all. After having most of the experiences that many mentioned before, this one really did me in.
On the final table bubble of a $100 buy in, so significant money at stake, a big pool of players, probably 8 hours into play.

10 players left, final table bubble, I have one of the smaller stacks, at risk of getting knocked out, but just barely over other stacks, the bubble had been lasting a bit too long so:

Me: AA

Opponent: AK

Flop: QQ6

At this point I am over 98% chance to win, sitting pretty you"d think.

Turn: J

River: 10

It was clear the algo needed to get the players to the final table and this was the first at risk hands in almost an hour. . . the algo needed to take the opportunity.

It was really a sad moment. runner runner to create a winning hand out of something like 1.5% potability. . .

I too have a screenshot backlog of bad beats, but this was just really felt the worst.

Pokerstars tourneys do seem very rigged.

I played a Bounty Builder tournament last night and was going pretty well. After a break I was moved to a new table and there was a player pushing the worst hands and winning. I noticed that every time a player with a smaller stack pushed all in he would call with anything, like 23o, and would knock out the smaller stack. So I try it, I bet and a smaller stack pushes, I call and guess what? I lose and am wounded. I build up my stack again and end up in a round with this player I"m telllimg you about (let"s call him Wiseguy). . I have 55 in the hole. I"m in SB and I call two raises, one to them is Wiseguy. It"s a risky move I know but im trying to change it up a bit. The flop comes 444???. I figure im up against two players both with high cards so I push all in with my petite fulll house. Wiseguys is holding AQs. Now I don"t know about you but I would not call an all in on a 444 flop with a couple of high cards. It"s just too risky and I think the odds of hitting those cards is just shy of 5-1. The third player has a pair of tens so he"s in much better shape than either of us. The flop brings a 5! Brilliant, I can"t believe my luck, now im going to be heading into the final third of the tourney in first place, but wait! What does the river bring? A ten, queen or ace and I"m dead. The river card rolls over and its a........4!!! BOOM!! Wiseguys wins the pot with his ace kicker and knocks me and the other guy out. Now make of that what you will but just don"t say to me "random card generator"! For feck sake, Pokerstars.....Jeeeesssusss!!

Glad there is no PokerStars in US

If you want to play poker, go to a casino, do not play online. I have been playing on pokerstars for years, it seems they have an algorithm analogous to quantum mathematics but with a twist: they seem to be using statistical probability in favor of certain pre-arranged outcomes rather than true randomness. Fortunately the human brain pretty soon can catch up with such math: too many bad beats giving fish an unequal opportunity at winning and poker experts at losing where on average they shouldn"t be following such a trend. I do not have hard proof of what I am saying but only anecdotal evidence except there are so many other experienced players who agree with me. If you like poker play at a casino where you can see the dealer dealing the cards (avoid shuffling machines which unfortunately can also be tweaked with although by far less likely than online play). Read the book "52 Ways to Cheat at Poker" available on Amazon.com so you can get an idea historically of the extent to which scammers are willing to go to cheat in live poker let alone online where there are by far fewer controls or "watching eyes" to make sure that there is no cheating going on. I will never play online again unless the online software is being monitored 24/7 by a cross section of incorruptible statisticians (something that will never happen). To add insult to injury, bad beats on pokerstars are in your face, at predictable times or in predictable places as if to make a mockery of true randomness. Stay away from online poker unless you are playing at 02-04 cents so you learn how to play butt trust me you will not learn true play because based on my own experience (which after all could be mistaken, but that"s what I think) the software algorithm is not really randomized but pre-arranged to favor certain winning and losing patterns particularly by the time the river card hits, your AA and on up notwithstanding. Save your hard earned money for the kind of poker play where losing is based on true randomness or poor play rather than "unbeatable" odds. I am glad that online poker is illegal in US.

BE CAUTIOUS ABOUT DEPOSITING MONEY!

WARNING: BE CAUTIOUS ABOUT DEPOSITING MONEY ONTO THIS SITE IF YOU DON"T WANT IT TO BE STOLEN!

I bought a prepaid Mastercard to load funds onto the site as some credit cards issued by Canadian banks won"t be accepted. I used the exact prepaid card they recommended on their website (Vanilla).

As soon as my initial deposit went through, they locked my account, citing the requirement to submit multiple forms of personal identification.

If you"re not comfortable sending them various personal documents (passport/bank statements etc.), then DON"T DEPOSIT MONEY.

Anyway, the identification requirement isn"t the main issue. I understand there may be legal requirements to collect such information.

My problem, however, is that they"re now demanding that I scan them a copy of the RECEIPT for the prepaid Mastercard I used.

It"s ridiculous! Who keeps every single one of their receipts? I don"t.

It appears now that they"re now just going to keep my money as they"re ignoring my requests for a refund.

The support is also terrible. You"ll wait 2 days to get a response from them, and when you do, it"ll be some pre-written, canned nonsense that barely even addresses your issue.

I don"t understand how such an unethical company is still in business.

Screen Shots

I have a library of bad beat screen shots. It would be easy to prove the implausible odds of me losing as many times has I have. The odds of me losing being ahead 90% of the time going into the flop and losing 80% of the time. It’s 100% laughable. I’d love to share my screenshot bad beats with the world.

Ripped off

For the fifth time in a row on PokerStars cash & tournament games I have sunk $100 US currency into their site. All three times in a row I have lost 100% of called hands which were good hands
To a higher kicker and or higher hand repeatedly.
I have been on poker stars for years and used to win regularly and every time I load money to this site I lose 100% of deposits in the first few hours.
This site has changed big time.
And when you play the deal jackpot which strips you of poker stars, the points you earn in game it always takes the cards you choose and makes them the losing ones you need
I have played that many times and also 100% of time you lose the cards you need.
I am as of today done with this rigged site after over 14 years of regular play.

Pokerstars wants new players to be hooked. New accounts have incredible luck on pokerstars.
Incredible luck. You cant miss that.
Im sure that this detail is one thing that ps think will bring success - it will be the opposite.
It will ruin them cus regs are tired of it.
How stupid/blind do ps think ppl are?

Is Stars rigged? Yes.

It is so blatantly rigged I find it strange that some people look down on people who think this way.

It only takes a few decent sessions to pick out the very obvious patterns:

- It"s nicknamed "Riverstars" for a reason. The amount of river suck outs is way way way too high.

- Big stack favouritism. Rich player vs the little guy, 90% of the time the big stack is coming out on top as long as he has outs.
- Want to slow play someone? That"s risky unless they have no outs. Be prepared for that worst possible card to hit the river or turn. Flopped a set? Wait for the turn or river to open up the flush and/or straight. Flopped a flush or a straight? Wait for that board to pair! Got your flush with poor kickers? Wait for that board to put the fourth spade down to sh!t all over your 67 of spades.
- Depleting stack? Increasing blinds? Bubble approaching? Sorry buddy, there"s a target on your head. Time for 72, 64, 95, 73, 54, 103, J2......AK??? Where did you come from!? You beauty! All-in, sorry mate, no chance. Their pocket 3s held up on this one. Same scenario, different tourney. Oh look pocket 7s, nice, all-in, nope, not this time, that simply cannot hold up against the likes of Chips McMassive stack over here with his Q9.

The only thing I will say for them is they definitely aren"t the only ones.

Jan 5, 2019

PS is rigged

I think PS runs an algorithm that determines if the player has never played poker before or is possibly retarded, they will hit their card(s) on the river and turn if need be for a complete BS straight or flush etc.
Either that or it is rigged

Mad at myself

Feeling really ripped off and angry at myself for being so naive. I"ve been playing for 10 years. For the first 6 I was actually up (not much, but enough to keep my entertainment budget in life quite low). Anyway I find the following recently:
1) IF you don"t play for a while (months) the next time you deposit you will be "set to win". I"m talking it doesn"t matter almost what is flopped your A2 offsuit is gonna win against AA somehow.
2) As soon as I withdraw, I"m "set to lose".
3) When I play multiple tables, I often see the SAME cards. I like to play 3 at once (otherwise I get bored) and often I will have a variation of 7 2 on all three tables.
4) I recently won up to 900.00, then plummetted down to 0 in no time. I kept playing the tourneys (loved the 18 player super turbos) as I thought I was just on a super losing streak... nope I was "set to lose". What I think is they motivate you with making you think you are this amazing player (I know I am though, lol) and then rip it from under you to ensure you keep depositing.
5) Players don"t seem like real people or have cheating software (maybe can see future cards? I"m not sure how this would work, but something is definently so off). How else can I have AA and someone PUSHES me all in after the turn with 3 high??!!?? Low and behold, what are the last two cards you ask? 33 of course. No normal person would do this. Eithe these are robotic players or someone has developped cheating software. Too many time to count! I am so made at myself right now for constantly putting in $50 here and there. I tallied up my history and it is gross. I"m DONE BSstars. You suck. Shame on you.

Jan 5, 2019

Ummm huh

How can you sit there and say they are not rigging the games? I have over 50 hours of games i have played and i will show you to a tee how they rig. the game . The so called random generator is utter bullshit. The cards are based of the hole card to get more action out of players. Bad beats are poker it happens but their site it every single hand . I can show with the clips i collected the number of river suck out to the point i can call it before it happens. You stated you dont see why they would rig it? um let try 4 billion dollar they spent to buy the site. They cant recoup that being legit. They need to be shut down and exposed as the frauds they are

Pokerstars STINKS

You can create an account, no documents are being asked for.
You can spent thousends of euro"s, dollars,you name it.... No questions asked. You can play for years and like 90% of all gamblers you will get addicted to it. You see strange things happen on Pokerstars, 100% scam but you carry on, knowing better. And then when you want to withdraw a small ammount, they strike. They use their rules to blackmail you. They freeze your account. I had to send them a copy of my passport. Pokerstars stinks sooo much that I rather let them have my money then sending them a copy of my passport. Its fraud, it stinks. Do you belong to the 0,01 % of people that did not lose all their money ? And do you belong to the 99,99 % of the people who think.... towmorrow... yes tomorrow then I will win. Trust me POKERSTARS IS A SCAM You are being SCAMMED

Thanks

Am I rating the review or pokerstars lol its 5 stars for the review haha. My question is which site do you use? I have been looking for a new site for a while but I dont want to play partypoker because all their sit and go"s are turbo or hyper or hyper turbo and I want just standard.

Which brins me to my next point which is directed at some of the other reviews here. Dude we don"t want all action all the time, thats stupid, we want real legit poker. Even know it can be slow, i want people folding all the time like real life. Its how the game is played and truthfully if you don"t like that you should not be playing poker. (which is also why i hate hyper turbo games, the blinds were not meant to go up that fast. Poker has different dynamics depending on how big the blinds are.

pokerstars

its all about the random generator, which ofcourse can and is programmed in a certain way, just like in slot machines...a random generator works diffeently in a keno machine than in a slot with bonus feature...thats common sense...
now to poker stars, or other poker sites online....my quess is that pokerstars have , for a online poker site, the best software ....why? it creates ACTION, more than on other online sites, but ofcourse 90% less than in a live casino poker game.
Thats the key...95% of plaayers at pokerstars are not poker players, 95% have never plaayed poker in a real live casino, from those 95%, if they would play in a live casino, would stop playing poker the next day...WHY? because there is no action...simple...how often does one get AA in a live poker game in a casino...?be honest? i could play 2 weeks at the bellagio and not get AA....at pokerstars you get it every single day...they at pokerstars have to create action or 95% of players would quit the next day, because of the "boring" play........Thats the truth of true poker.....its boring 95% of time....in a real casino live game, thats ok, but online thats the death of the site...in a real live game it happens alll the time that you have to fold 90% of your cards....at pokerstars, anybody that plays there frequently, you know that there are no loosing cards....thats why they get played that often there...59 offsuit, 7 10 offsuit, and hitting or AA/KK against 22,33,44 and we all know who wins....thats the action that this software creates...its their survival....without such a software that creates artificially action, online poker would die in a week....look at the "big" poker rooms in vegas LOL hahahahaha....or any whhere else on this planet...where are the poker rooms with a 1000 tables full of action LOL hahah...aint gonna happen...again...real time live poker is a BORING game 90% of time played.
at pokerstars hahahah, its the opposite....90% of the game is full of action..pockt pairs vs pockets, straights win,full wins,4 of akinf wins,str.flush wins,royal wins etc....

Aug 22, 2018

I will survive 😀

I"m 22 now playing for ten years or so, of course I first started playing with friends ,I was winning as a kid and kinda fall in love with the game, not because I was winning I mean it"s a plus if you win but it"s like luck and math altogether I just loved it always tried to find places to play. Now tournaments is a different thing, 2 months ago I decided that it"s time to start raising my tournament knowledge , and where should I go if not the good old PS? first month maybe I was telling myself it"s normal to have bad beats it"s part of the game ,I am new in tournaments etc... man... this shit is ridiculous , you need to play a certain amount of tournaments just to get to the bubble so you can get at least what you got in with ,also watching this so called pro streamers , so I could become better... Many will say this is the way it is and it"s less likely to make profit from a single tournament or two, but mate I know what is a bad beat I also know what is a scam , a berry on the river is okay , but all day long every single all in situation to end up beaten? The new boss likes to make money this way and that"s it, as long as the promotions go more fishes like me will come along, yes I am a fish because I wanted to learn more about this beautiful game ,I"m still gonna do it yet in a different place than PS PEACE
ps I was a casino dealer once so I"m prеtty sure I know what I"m talking about.

Strange coincidences

I"m no expert but I think PokerStars is rigged (at least on occasion).

At first I just chalked up the repetitive seemingly impossible bad beats to just plain bad luck. Strait flush being beat by a better strait flush? just bad luck. Full House being beat by a better full House? Well I guess it"s bound to happen. luckily (and just to make the point I"m not just some poor loser) it wasn"t always me that came up on the losing end of these situations, but it did certainly catch my attention how often it seemed to happen compared to anywhere else (specifically live play).

What really got my attention though is how often one of my opponents got a pocket pair whenever I had one (or some else at the table had one). Pretty well 8 of 10 times I had a pocket pair, some one else at the table had one. It happened so often that I really started wonder, is the site intentionally giving out pairs at the same time to get players to bet bigger? Could make sense where I was witnessing it (cash games), because the more players bet, the more the rake takes. And how hard would it be for them make an algorithm to do this periodically, and then shut it down when audited? Probably not too hard. And by only doing it periodically it would be alot easier to deny or just claim the loser was just on tilt and looking for excuses.

After reading up on PokerStars, I will no longer be using the site. I never looked into PokerStars prior to using it because I just trusted that a big name like PokerStars would be legit and trustworthy. But there seem to be way too many stories like mine to be just random coincidence, and I don"t trust them at all anymore.

It"s starting to look like ALL the players on the PokerStars site are the fish, no matter what do level.

Aug 12, 2018

Hacked or rigged

PokerStars has a different distribution pattern than playing a live game
I could play 100 or more pocket pairs without catching a set while running at the same time into 25 sets
It rarely has “ high hands” like straight flushes or quads which are faitrly common in live games
And the number of hands played per hour is significantly higher online
The distribution pattern is definitely different than at live games
So the awkwardness and skewed distribution can only be explained by either
1- pokerstars does not have a “ random “ distribution which means that the “ shuffler” is defective ( improbable )
2- pokerstars is rigged from within
3- pokerstars is being hacked for there is a lot of money to be made by hacking pokerstars
A simple trick would be to place 2 or 3 players on every cash table ( in different countries with fake accounts ) controled by a computer that could analyze the hole cards of 3 players out of six and make decisions based on the inside information . Since there is so much money to be made rigged games , or hacking could very well explain the discrepancies and the awkwardness of the card distribution
It feels like the opponent knows what card is coming on the board
Being deep in a particular tournament with a siazable stack I had AA
The pot was raised to 400 I reraisef to 1200 and the opponent went all in with a sizable stack
He had 88
No one deep in a tournament with sizable stacks would ever do that
I called the all in
On the flop comes an 8
He must have known something that I didn’t know ( which was the flop )
The prize for 1st place was significant
This individual came in second for this tournament
That’s when I dumped pokerstars
It was after going through this awkward distribution , thousands of hands that made no sense that I gave up
I win consistently at live games ( against top notch players)
I lose consistently at pokerstars
Something is not right

Play Money Guy

Wow, reading the comments here is just laughable!

First off I used to grind Stars for a living back when it was in the USA. My goodness did they have the softest games on the net. Turn around to today when NL is bigger than Limit and Stars isn"t the titan it used to be.

Also to the people complaining about losing and complaining about losing even in Play Money games:

If you can"t beat Play Money on Pokerstars you are just bad. It"s so beyond incredibly easy to beat these players.

I"ve never had to buy play money chips and I"ve worked my play money bankroll into the million dollar stakes(which almost never run anymore.) There"s not much else to do once you have a ton of play money though. If you think the play money is rigged, it isn"t rigged and you are just bad at poker and can"t beat the worst players imaginable. I know that sounds harsh, but it"s the truth. Seriously just look up some strategy on NL/Limit online or read a book. The book is your best bet in my opinion. There"s a ton of places to get information and learn, there is no excuse to not to try to understand why you are losing with all the information on the topic that is out there.

The problem is it"s just easier to think: Oh, but it must be rigged how else could someone like ME possibly lose? I am clearly and god and savior to the game of Hold"em. Sure would be convenient if I wasn"t bad, and it was just rigged. Sure wouldn"t have to face reality then, huh? Poker is a good but harsh teacher. Keep that in mind. If you wanna win and not go having to post your "bad beat" stories on the internet so you don"t have to feel so bad at night then it"s time to start studying!

So is the real money games rigged? No, again you"re just bad. Same advice applies. In real life I"ve lost with everything imaginable. Quads, straight flushes, etc. It will eventually happen and every possible scenario will play out. Even that 650,000 to 1 chance of flopping a royal flush. It"s gunna happen... eventually as long as you keep playing! When it does happen it"s not because it"s rigged. It"s because it"s inevitable!

Oh and on the review Stars is ok, but Amaya will probably run it into the ground. They have a decent amount of competition now though so who knows which site will come out on top?

Jun 19, 2018

7 Years and Still Losing

I have been with Poker Stars for 7 years in November. Since Amaya bought Poker Stars a few years ago I have noticed many changes,all for the all mighty dollar. The rake for Texas Holdem is now 5.8% and they have multiple chip sales every week. They have 22 programmers and many of the players I talk to and some sophisticated software engineers/programmers I know ensure me that the play money games are manipulated/rigged. A lot of the hands are setup for a max bet so that the rake is maxed out. Reading many articles on Poker Stars reveals that they have a random card generator, but again, we think they only use it for the one day a year they are audited. The site is sophisticated and you become addicted to it if for no other reason is that you make friends all over the world and enjoy their company. This is the only reason I play any more. I can tell after 3 rounds on the table (9 player/27 hands) if I am going to have a good day or not. Poker Stars will never be allowed to operate in the 50 United States as Washington state as dropped out and I am sure others will follow. Still looking for another site to play on.

Unreal Bad Beats on Poker Stars

I have so many seemingly impossible UNREAL bad-beats on Poker Star (REPEAT INCIDENTS OF SAME TYPE HANDS LOSING IN SAME WAY) that until now I"m still mind boggled and trying to make sense of it all.

I found this website wondering has anyone else experienced the seemingly impossible kind of bad beats I have and this website reassures me it"s not just me.

The seemingly impossible unreal (REPEAT) bad beets include hitting QUADS and someone pulling out a Straight Flush or Royal Flush somehow on the river somehow GEEZZ gimme a break and they push and shove all in on a miracle prayer getting the only 1 card that could ever save them. DIVINE INTERVENTION?

UNREAL BEATS beyond belief and REPEAT incidents- Seemingly impossible coincidences. My Bad Beats for today include someone raising $450 USD pre-flop and me holding AA - I decide to just call - The flop comes off AKK - They then shove the rest of their stack in $3,200 USD roughly and I call - they have 33 - It puts a smile on my face at first until I see 33 come out on the turn and river giving him quads.

Whether a bot or a real person I"m uncertain, left instantly after winning nearly all the cash I had left in my account. It felt like a SETUP - what are the odds of that? The other bad bets experienced are me on the opposite side having 44 and the flop coming up 544 hitting quads and someone pushing all in with 55 - Yep you can guess it river is a 5 - quads over quads.

Even worse having hitting quad K"s and someone pulling out a ROYAL FLUSH ON ME on the river - say what? HOW did that possibly happen and how does it REPEAT - This is the 2nd time it"s occurred to me but the next time I had quad Q"s and they hit ROYAL FLUSH again. Come on folks - this is just a beginning but what are the odds of this even happening to me in a lifetime twice in such a fashion?

Whether the person was bluffing on me with 33 earlier trying to get away with a bluff and getting EXTREMELY lucky in running 33 on the turn and river to pull off quads well OK I would accept that alot easier than accepting losing to a ROYAL FLUSH twice someone shoving all in needing a MIRACLE RIVER to save them losing twice with Quad Q"s an K"s. Give me a break. K I had to let that off my chest and share it with the world.

Poker Stars is I"d have to agree now RIGGED, I could go on & on & on with other bad beats that seem to repeat.

Jun 19, 2018

It"s definitely never right in a million years.

I have never come across anything like Pokerstars in all of my life. I can relate to a lot of what is said here and one review in particular stood out to me; this person mentions playing every site over the years and winning at them, the only anomaly being Pokerstars.

I recently have been back to regular playing again thanks to a change in circumstances and I ended up at Stars because their range of tournaments is second to none by a long shot, it"s the main site, simple as that. I figured it was years ago I last played there, maybe it"s not as bad as my memory is telling me.

Well turns out it is now worse from what I can tell. I"m not going to go into every hand, there"s too many but I will say that I"m a very solid online poker player, my patience, discipline and decision-making are very good. I do not often make a wrong decision and I call out the plethora of idiots that are obsessed with overplaying their hand on a regular basis. Unfortunately on Stars any decision is apparently the wrong one, I get screwed so often it just cannot possibly be normal.

I hate the people that treat you like some sort of conspiracy nut if you dare to question the integrity of a multi-million dollar company that has already broken U.S. law and is not regulated. Yeah, it"s completely beyond the realms of reality to even suggest that something maybe off with them.

The two main arguments you hear from those people are "variance" and "prove it", "if you"re gonna make those claims then you have to prove it".

Two pretty simple responses to this that seem to fall on deaf ears. Ok, variance exists, it happens and I can accept that. What I can"t accept is that if you want to blame it on variance then where the f***ing hell is my upswing? I"m still waiting. The clues in the name pal, "variance", that"s some very peculiar variance where it"s only one way!

As for "prove it", very simple, "You prove it isn"t". If you wanna tell me I can"t say something is up then show me your proof there isn"t something untoward going on? Better still, Pokerstars, you get enough complaints about this, you take our money, you prove it. They never respond to any claims made, why? It would be pretty simple.

I don"t know what more I can say without turning this into a small novel. Just simply put, all aspects of either side of the argument aside, I personally find it a lot harder to believe that something isn"t going on with that site than believe it"s all hunky dory and I"m just somehow one of the most unlucky players to ever use their site.

What a load of bollox

Poker Stars mostly certainly is NOT rigged

Poker Stars care about their players

Poker Stars have high-level security systems

Poker Stars have numerous support staff.

account closed, no reason

I"ve had an account with Pokerstars for ten plus years, never had an issue. Yet I also never deposited very much. Middle of March I deposited $140, and roughly a week later I get an notice my account is frozen, and I need to email them. Odd. Why not email me?
Anyways I get a reply stating that during a random security screening, my account was selected and didn"t pass screening. No reason as to why, just a BS excuse to keep my money.
They ignore my emails, and efforts to contact the gaming commission have done nothing as of yet. Not even a reply from them either.
Be warned, I"m not alone, and this is happening at an increasing rate. PS had to pay some $700 million in settlements with the USA, for fraud. My guess is their trying to recover some loses.
Read their terms of service closely. They can close your account for any reason they chose, and keep your money. No questions asked. Is a company that committed grand scale fraud, and has policies that enable them to steal accounts where you want to put your money at?
I"m fighting tooth and nail to get my money back, yet I don"t stand a chance really.

abc

I"ve played Spin and Go for a while and more and more I realise that even if I was not an average player I would still win more hands than I do, especially when I have two cards that are better than what I see the other players eventually have. I"ve lost count of the amount of times I"ve lost AA or KK to a low tow pair with the other players going all in with something crazy like a 3 and a 7 and - OMG they get two pair or a straight, or a flush or a tripple. Its happened soooooo many times than now I actually bet myself I will loose a higher hand and nearly 100% of the time I do.

I also notice many other players (usually in Russia) seem to push every raise when they have the lowest card on the flop they have paired, even if there are face cards out too.

Its happening so often as well. Other players have noted that they have lost 3, 4, 5 winning hands in a row to lower cards from other players and its a flush, a straight or two pair and I have to agree. The frequency at which I loose to these hands, compared to how often I get them is outrageously unbalanced odds.

I"m not sure if its Pokerstars that is rigged or if its been hacked - either way its not something you should put any money into.

I spend an entire weekend a few weeks ago tracking every hand, what I had, and how I won or lost and the above was shown to be so true. I lost around 80% of my hands. No matter how I played I lost on average around 80%.

I"ve also noticed that when I would deposit, I would initially win a few good hands, but then the same old same old would start to happen and invariably my stack would drop.

Its time for the government to investigate Pokerstars so the suspicions of so many people, the fact Pokerstars avoids any accountability and the video evidence of games that are so blatantly rigged or hacked comes out and they end up having to refund the real genuine players.

Most Crooked site out there

I have been playing poker for 20 yrs and Jokerstars is corrupt. Do not play there. I played the money tables at first started to win at the start and then I would get rivered every hand. So i played play money and they cheat there too. In my last 13 hands i had the overpair 13 times and wouldn"t you know it they hit 11 sets and 2 quads on me.
ITS RIGGED. Stay away folks.

Too many bad beats

3 small tourneys in a row today. Each one, opening hand i get dealt pocket Kings... spare you the details, but ended up all in before the flop an each one...opponent wins each time... straight on the river, full house on the river, flush on the river. odds of that happening on 3 consecutive hands in diff tourneys have to be off the charts!

Mar 16, 2018

pocket aces - win rate

In no limit hold-em, pocket aces, vs a single opponent, should have a win rate of 84%.
Playing real money no limit hold-em on pokerstars, over the course of almost 2,000,000 hands,I got pocket aces all-in, pre-flop, vs a single opponent 934 times. According to the above mentioned 84% expected win rate, I should have won 783 of those hands. My actual results were 602 wins, for an actual win rate of 64%.
Assuming the data is reliable, what might the explanation be for a variance of this magnitude?

Feb 15, 2018

Frozen account without notification

My account was frozen because "suspected hacking, logged on from foreign country".

1) Didn"t get any notification about this frozen account

2) Login was most likely made by me, because I have been in that country several times
3) After five emails with support my account is still frozen and they won"t tell me when this suspected login happened even after asking several times.

Ridiculously bad customer service and terrible "detectives".

sega1980

I was bored, so I took a look at one alleged player at pokerstars, supposedly from Russia, sega1989. And guess what ? The pokerstars inside player was playing 23 games at the same time. No joke, 23 games at the same time ? This would be an impossible feat by any human being. pokerstars cannot be trusted.

P.Stars is reliable on game outcomes

Been playing on P.stars since early 2000’s, have been dealt more hands then I can count (definitely millions) due to multi tables of play.

But what I can attest to is this, P. stars is very consistent in what they do,

Note: it just may be due to (this is just my supposition, no physical proof, but it makes sense)

They could be using scripts to guarantee specific outcomes against some individuals.

Case in point: Each time my tournament life had been on the line when having the best hand (pre-flop) and shoving all in, my hand would lose.

This is NOT an exaggeration; there are thousands of games in which I had played that this had occurred.

My win rate would be less than 0.5% and that may be generous on my part.

The so called random generator does not seem to exist when I appear to be logged into P. stars lol

I no longer deposit on their site, will only play free rolls, but now the bad beats are increasing as of the past month or so

Pokerstars rigged?

Looking at the commemts is like seeing my own thoughts this guy kept beating everyone one night no matter what cards they had I dont know why I tried pushing all in against him but I lost. I always seem to lose the last card that comes out when i have good cards before it, ive never withdraw anything but Im sure the other accounts i made pissed them off because they kept emailing me saying I made other accounts I just forgot the logins most the tims and this time I wantes a cooler name. A few people were going mad claimimg that dream catcher was rigged and the women was just changing the subject. I heard one guy read a comment about it being rigged but near the end he went quiet lile he was being told off down an ear piece orr something. I really dont know about tbis site man im feeling taking my money to pokerstars because im putting quite abit of cash into it and I dont think they"re worthy of anyones cash.

pokerstars not a scam

I"ve played online for full time for the last 3 years, i play high volume like 10-12 tables 8 hours a day. The thing that most people dont realize that poker is still a gamble, and you are always gonna be confronted with a bad beat/things not running well for you. You can be 8/2 favourite and lose 10 times in a row, doesnt happen often but once in a while it will happen.

Then i"ll go after your points 1 by 1 and hope you"ll understand that poker is rather a game of skill and luck combined. without luck you"re not gonna get anywhere.

1.Most people are playing on many tables, dont even have the chat open and if they have most people won"t answer. Poker is a high volume game, the rake is high so you"ve to play more tables a time all the time, no time to chat.

2.prob 5 years ago, 10 years ago you played with 8 fish and 2 good players now 8-10 players are good, and the other 2 most of the time are not even bad. so its more tough to make money in the long run.

3. Its just poker and happens all the time, more often you win the hands 😉

4.most people are playing many tables, if you play 20x5 and double all of them and decide to take a break, why not?

5. i always have the same feelings about russians :p but they are just lucky scumbags, and very good players most of them live in a small village without any working place around. So they study the game real hard and start playing,most of them are dangerous and good.

6. You can mail me this, and i"ll check the patterns and know if its a human or a bot(wich seems unreasonable).

7. 12? I sometimes play like 30 for 1 hour straight 🙂

8. There are not bad suckers, depends on what you play above 50 dollars you"ll be the fish for them and they"ll come to play against you.

9. Depends on where you look, i can almost find all the players at sharkscope, or pokerprolabs you can see everything there. I"ve got a HUD (pokerprogram) Running all the time when i play a big tournament. But that"s no bot, that"s a program who keeps all the data and statistics.

What am i doing here? Just lost 2k and im sad about it :-). if you are gonna play on pokerstars(or any pokersite) Make sure you do the right preperations. Study the game read books,watch pokerhands, buy a pokerprogram(HUD) then you know what you"re doing and why you"re doing it.

Do proper BRM make sure you got at least 50-100 buy ins for the stake that you are playing. So you wont lose everything at once after a losing session.

I"ve lived many years now from playing poker and yea its a tough way to make money, we pay too much rake and somethimes you take shots that dont work out well. I shouldnt begin with it, but if you are good and want to do everything i mentioned above you can make money for sure @ pokerstars or any other site i prefer another site ps mostly good players.

riggged

Hello,
I am not going to tell you how many ridiculous hands managed to beat me - you"d think that I am a sore loser. Rather, I tell you about some really weird stuff I can"t understand - all of it leads me to the belief that pokerstars is rigged or something is really wrong with it (or people are hacking it, I don"t know).
1. I"ve played poker for many many years. But have never been in a game where the other players would not play like humans ---I mean I played online poker before with real people, and when I did hatthat, Isaw all the things which people do: chat, complain, have different pace, have their personal quirks, breakdowns etc. you can tell there"s a person on the other side. But when I play cent or dollar cash games on pokerstars, most of the time no one ever says anything, it feels like totally bereft of human interaction or even thinking ...the game is impossible to analyze
2. Moreover, I come from a tiny country, but people who are sitting on the same table from my country don"t chat back to me....and those who do chat, with them I manage to beat more often than those who never say anthing. Overall the whole feeling is like I am not playing against humans

3. that pertains to style of play as well - everybody is super tight when I have a good hand, but suddenly they are able to go out on a limb when they have a real reason to throw their hands away - funnily enough, it always works out for them by some small margin...

4. players win a pot and soon after leave the room? Why would you do that? And why does this happen with such a regularity? The fact is that if you are winning, you are stronger and would rather linger - that is if you were human.

5. There are so many people from Russia..and it"s not just the size of the country. Anytime there"s Russians, it feels like I am playing some computer bots.
6. I"ve played one Russian the entire night - not one time did he behave like a person, send a chat message etc. I have completely no recollection of his play as his play was machine-like, totally without any flavor.
7. I tried to look him up and realized that he was playing at 12 tables simultaneously? How is that even possible?????
8. I have never come across a bad sucker - in all those games, everybody was behaving the same - super tight and fairly clear game...with the exception when they play me, they can do crazy stuff.
9. Many of the players can"t be even looked up..and their names don"t sound like anything a human would come up with.
10. Games proceed one after another in a machine-style fashion. No hesitating or strategizing can be discerned..most weirdly, in the last 10 hours and hundreds of hundreds of games, I didn"t see a game where 3 or 4 people would fight it out....this happenes in real life in so many hands at least a few times...here it"s alwasy you or other two people, never more.

Overall, I am not sure how it"s possible technically but I am pretty sure I was not playing humans on pokerstars.

Stay away from this site.

Rigged or Not?

Well let me put this way. I have been playing poker for 10 years now and online for last 4 years.
Having doubts all the way if PS is "fixed" I recently run the test. There is a lot of comments and articles considering different statistics and amount of data one needs to have available to be able to say thay game is fixed.
As for amount of data I disagree because what you really need is to compare the online game with regular one and look for patterns.
Lets say that you play tournament 500 players online vs the same one in some poker room. Lets agree that you will still play on 1 table at the time, against 8 other players and that you have to most probably play avg. same amount of hands (maybe not but it doesnt really matter). It is sure that online game will go much faster but it is still factor of hands which remains similiar.
In my example there is pattern of ACTION FLOPS. Lets dont talk about AA,KK,QQ things but about action hands within one table and one tournament.
I have played 3 tournaments at the same time. 5k + 4k + 10k. Playing the very same table I happened to see within period of aprox. 5 hours following patterns.

My hand: AKs

I raced from button (for this example doesnt matter how much)
1 player called ...
Flop: 9AK
I raced from button (again doesnt matter how much)
1 player allin
I called ...
Player showed AA
I lost

Now this can happend. I had 5x bigger stack then player so we keep playing ...

5 hands later ...

My hand: J9s

I raced from button (for this example doesnt matter how much)
1 player called ...
Flop: 9J4
I raced from button (again doesnt matter how much)
1 player allin
I called ...
Player showed 99
I lost

... same player.

11 hands later ...

My hand: KK

I raced from big blind (for this example doesnt matter how much)
1 player called ...
Flop: KAA
I checked (again doesnt matter how much)
1 player allin
I called ...
Player showed AA
I lost

... same player again.

Now you could say it can happen. Yes it can but i saw this on other two tables with other players within same period of time and same tournaments. That is like impossible. Get 3 times within period of 50 hands on 3 different tables 4 same cards on flop to get best hand - no way.

Now as for Quads, Flush, etc. I can say that in ten years i can surely compare amount of hands played within last 4 years. And that is what it is about. Here is the result:

REAL ROYAL FLUSH: 0

ONLINE ROYAL FLUSH: 3

REAL QUAD: 7

ONLINE QUAD: 27

REAL STRAIGHT FLUSH: 4

ONLINE STRAIGHT FLUSH: 16

Now i am talking about my hands and not how many times i saw it played on my table.

So my conclusion is that YES online poker is fixed. It seems that it is fixed or balanced the way that game force players to post big bets and run tournament faster ahead. And that is where i am going with my theory. If the dealt cards provoke players to place higher bets, if all blinds raising is set to go faster and PS charge 1 time fee per tournament, isn"t then important for PS owners to run high amount of tournaments at the same time? Amount of players today is more less same and earnigs of PS will be more less same too and to get them higher they have make sure that they run as many tournaments they possibly can no?

So at the same time they need to get these players to play quickly so they subscribe to new tournament and pay another fee no? That is for reason WHY they game is fixed.

My best.

Playing withing the rules is a TOS

Today I received a threatening email from pokerstars. It says that registering at the last min in tournaments and trying to make the money is against the TOS and that if i continue to do it my account will be closed.

"We are contacting you due to an investigation we launched in regards to stalling in our tournaments.

This involves late registration into certain tournaments"

If playing within the rules of the game is a violation of the TOS that means that Pokerstars is no longer a legitimate poker site.

Users beware.

impossible to win

I had left because it was so hard to get a hand at times..seemed impossible the hands that come up and beat me are such rare occasions. I have played for 47 years and refuse to keep adding money to this scam.. I left it alone for 2 years and recently added 10 dollars to my account...Just to see whats up,,and assure my self I was not imagining things. Well it seems even worse now,,,its like I am playing a machine not other people.. they don"t talk or say fuck off or nothing. I also notice that they are having trouble getting 50,000 people at any given time. I always do well in live games but again I can not make a hand and if I do the most unusual things come up and beat me...it has got to the point I can call what will happen and its not me winning.
So if you feel like you are going futz,,,you are not,,,you have no chance. One thing Ive always wondered to is if they can take 10 dollars why cant they give it back if you do win???? its a one way street for your money,,,soon I will be finished with this site for good,,,but they are gonna win it from me 2cents at a time.
I guess 10% of millions bet is not enough,,and ya...Id love to table up with that punk Negrano,,looser.

nonsence

how many of you have bankroll? if you win one mmt you get like 300/1 your buyin... how many of you played 300 mmt and not reached final table? if you want to be professional you have to behave like professional.... you have to be prepared for bad beats, bed runs and so... why you are not complaning about euromillion how many of you won it? Luck is part of the game, other part of your game is your skills and patients... I run bad as well, but you need only one day to turn it all around...

Charged my card , never credited my accoint ???

18 months ago i made a $200 deposit with my debit card and they started asking me for all sorts of documentation, which i provided. Minus their request of a statement showing my card number, after multiple attempts to explain to them its a debit card, affialited with my checking account , its not a credit card which displays the card number on the statement....despite giving them over 10 other pieces of documentation, they just gave me the run around for 3 months , which is when i just asked for a refund and they stopped responding to my emails. Numerous calls and they just tell me ita under investagation , give us a few dats, a year and a half later and still nothing.when i finally got fed up, contacted by credit card conpany and asked them to dispute it and they informed me its too late, the 3 month grace period has expired. So im out $200. F you PS!!!

Unplayable since Amaya

I have played PS since it started business. Limit holdem was then the games and I went up to 1-2 till finally some day I couldn"t win anymore (a statistical impossibility in those games), and at that time there was some 80% preflop fish that was the reason why the best player on the table was losing. Others experienced the same thing later in nlh also, known as "i will sit out here just to see you to donk the next 2-outer on the turn). Play money was at the same time legit, till I mentioned it at 2+2.

There were runs when one ran normally, so it wasn"t bad all the time. I have later moved to plo, but it was impossible to continue winning after Amaya became the owner. I also played 8-game at that time, and it was virtually impossible not to get sucked by the last card in studs and triple draw, when it is about 1/4th shot in reality.

The tourneys, you can watch any tourney as well as play them and you will see it is "gay." The way the tourneys differ from 888Poker"s (50c tourneys or above as the below tend to be heavily gay) is that at 888 one loses more than fair share of the time to a mere kicker (one has AQ the other has AJ, or whatever case) but it was still playable compared to stars that is way more gay, and it also stacks situations preflop.

I could also mention limit holdem heads up, it used to work like a rubber band that when you went up, you were pulled double that down.

Pretty sure it"s rigged.

I"ve played poker offline and on, but I"ve never seen such absurd hands in such frequent succession. I"ve wondered for a while, but after tonight I"m 90% sure some players are able to cheat.

I"m at a 1,000,000 buy in table, and a guy joins and immediately goes all in. Not that weird I guess, some people do this. So everyone folds and he takes the blinds. Next hand all in. Takes the blinds. Next hand all in; this time someone calls. He ends up with 4 of a kind. OK, that is rare but I guess it happens. Then he folds a few, goes all in preflop once again and takes the blinds. 6 hands later, he goes all in and someone calls him again. And guess what... He gets 4 of a kind again!

Right then and there I should have left the table. I even said something in the chat but no one else left so I thought I"d see how things went. Quite a few hands down the road, he loses a big hand and I see this as reassurance that the game might not be rigged. So then I get AK. Ok, good start. It"s just me and this guy that see the flop. K8X. Ok even better. I bet and he calls. Turn is King. Ok, this is looking really good. I check, and he goes all in. Alrighty then. I call. Guess what he has? Pocket 8"s! Which means he hits a full house and knocks me out.

There are other hands he won that he had no business winning, and I just can"t play this game anymore. The fact that getting 4 of a kind is infinitesimally small and he hit two in 6 hands is just ridiculous. GG PokerStars.
