I have read the postings on this site and i must agree with what odds and nitemare6.... i have played on UB, Bodog, full tilt and a couple of other sites as well. I am not a crybaby loser as i am up $ in the long run, however I have seen enough to know that something is amiss. I play regualrly at casinos as well and i see hands live all the time where players win a 3 or 4 handed pot with Q high or similar. You almost NEVER see high card win a hand on full tilt. I am not buying the whole you see more bad beats because you are playing 3-4 times the number of hands. 3-4 times the hands would mean 3-4 times the number of hands where high card wins. I get to the point where i know if i flop top pair top kicker, I am almost certainly drawing dead, even in heads up play. the other thing i see constantly is the bigger the fish, the higher his chip lead. aytime i am playing in a touney or cash game, there is usually one donk at the table that either his strategy is all in all in all in until he either wins or is out, or someone who will call anything with any hand. I will play patiently watching this moron take out player after player with suckouts that are too unlikely to be believed, until I get a hand like AA, KK, QQ or AK. Doesnt matter what the hand is, i know he is going to suck out with his 62 off.
I started out on a pretty good run, playing position tight and agressive, but after doubling my $, I reached that point where the winning just stops for huge runs at a time. I still play the same way and it proves to be successful in live play, but I do think that bad play is rewarded way too often on these sites. BYW the same story on UB and just about every other site i have played and I am glad that I am not the only one who sees this as well... I love the game and fully believe that it is a skill game over all where solid players can make money.
I still play with the hopes that I can win a big tournament again.( i recently won a freeroll with over 3000 entries and you dont see many more donks than that!.... i won a whopping 15 dollars. )... but i take the site now with a grain of salt, knowing that i am going to lose about 70% of the hands where I am ahead and try not to play more than 3 games per day.
