Where is my money going?????

pokermanpat

Am i losing money on the exchange to and from the tables? I am playing on an ipoker skin that holds my account in euros, every time i switch to a table it obviously converts it to dollars and then converts back at the same rate.

I just joined up yesterday and played 1200 hands and my PT database reads that i made $2.73 profit, i also had two $5 bonus` released. I should therefore be in profit of around ($12.73)€7/8. But i am infact down €6.20.

Where am i losing my money? Is it when I top up my stack and the skin rounds the numbers off? Anyone know how it happens? Thanks in advance

i often wonder the same but never really looked into it too much

The only thing i can think of is a difference in the exhanges from when you buy dollars and bring to a table and then sell back to Euro. There is normally a difference in the typical buy/sell values if you were changing currency in a bank

what skin is this on?

it's almost certainly not an exchange problem, they typically convert back and forth at the same rate.

More likely PT is missing some hands due to errors in importing (they don't always show up as errors) or a dropped connection or something like that.

also, if you lose a hand and leave the table right away pt won't pick it up... I'm missing a few of my all in losses because i sometimes press exit too fast after the river hits

Its down to missed hands from the database.

Example, dropped connection, the hand isn't in PT (stored locally), but your balance reflects it, might be profit or loss.
Another, more common, is the last hand of each session, unless you stay until the next hand and sitout/leave it wont appear. You might call pf and flop, then fold the turn and quit, the money you lost in the last hand isn't added to PT

If you play on any skin they do not actualy take into play current exchange rates, if they did take buy sell values everytime you played it would be impossible to make money. They would literaly be raping you. They are supposed to take some arbitary rate every couple of weeks and use that rate in both buy and sell.

The skin is Titan

I understand everyone saying its down to leaving before a hand is folded but i never do that. I religously leave the table aftere ive been dealt my UTG hand, is this definately down to not finishing the hands out? If i raise UTG, I`d be interested to see how the hand unfolds, i wouldnt up and leave.

Long run its probably just going to me.
