Another track from the broken record
id well, cashed out 4 digits, and now can't win period. Tight-aggressive player... my large pairs are holding up 20% of the time. QQ,KK,AA against smaller pairs, smaller pairs have hit sets 8 times in a row... yes, that is in a row. A pocket small pair has hit the set 8 times in a row when I have had a pocket overpair. I have not hit a set since the cash out... though I did get trips once in the big blind!River beats are constant since cash out, with numerous requiring the turn as well. Keep in mind that my problem with small pairs is in conjunction with all the other crazy things, like 64o of equal stack size calling an all in and hitting a 6 and a 4 versus AQs. I guess it was a RGP'er calling...I remain absolutely convinced that the vast majority of whiners are bitching about the one night where they had AA or KK busted by a fish... but after 10 straight days backed up by careful record keeping, I'm switching sites. Why would a profitable business cheat? If it was a straight up site, the real players would feast on the fish, the fish would go away, and so would the good players. This fad will only last as long as the fish can win... Vegas learned that with the slots... a high rate of return generates more money for the house. Poker is between players; if the casino didn't manipulate things, the fish would be eliminated and the business would be reduced to good players... and good players don't give action to good players. The business would end. The dollars are too large for PP or any site not to look 5 years out... reload bonuses are not good enough to keep the traffic high. All players have to have some wins, and if most are inexperienced, they have to get help.

PLEASE READ... FACTS ON INTERNET POKER. First of all I am no expert on computer software, but I recently held a long detailed conversation with a person who is an expert on computer programming, and he enlightened me to some interesting info on online poker.What most people do not realize is that most internet poker sites do NOT use a TRUE random number generator (and it is completely legal). The software they do use has two main purposes: 1. BIG RAKE and 2. KEEP THEM PLAYING. 1. BIG RAKEThe software used is meant to create multiple "big hands" in order to increase the pot size, thus increasing the rake. This is why you see so many hands of a flush rivering a straight, or a full house rivering flush, etc. The hands are PREDETERMINED in order to get the rake to its MAX. This is why you see so many pairs on the flop, one suited flops, and under-pairs hitting to beat over-pairs. These situations are perfect bait for large pots (thus large rakes). ***note- when i say predetermined, i mean the software will designate multiple big hands , but will NOT designate them to certain people (who receives what hand is actually RANDOM)2. KEEP THEM PLAYINGLet me go back to the PREDETERMINED hand philosophy. When a player is all-in during a hand with EVERYTHING he has (nothing left in his bankroll), it is MORE likely for him to catch his cards no matter what the circumstance, or it is more likely for his hand to hold up. The software recongnizes that the player will go BROKE if he loses, so the software INCREASES his odds of winning the hand. In short, internet poker rewards river players and short stacks, and punishes slow players and big stacks going against small stacks. This is not say that river players will win in the long run, but they may experience the river hitting more often than the odds indicate.

Many online poker sites are fixed in two ways. First, the cards are “Juiced”, that is, at a 8 - 10 person table, 70 - 90% of the players have a taste of the pot based on the 2 down cards they receive. The more people who bet, the more they loose. The more people who loose, the more they re-deposit. The more they re-deposit (and play) the more the online poker company rakes, and the more transaction fees it receives from both the player and the electronic funds companies that sponsor the site. Online Poker is addictive, and by “Juicing” the cards, most companies are preying on this, with 18 - 25 year olds being their prime target audience... By the time the “below average” poker player has gotten in major debt and closed his account, he has already re-deposited 3 or more times, many times more than the initial deposit - it’s a fact. Secondly, after a cash out of money that you won beyond your initial deposit, nearly everyone experiences the “losing trend”, where you catch no cards, you get bad beats time after time, and the ONLY cards that can beat you are ALWAYS the cards that beat you. After extensive searching online, I cannot find any reasonable explanation to this from anyone, other than most online poker sites want you to bust for the above reasons. I am a 14 year “Hold ‘Em” Player who is above-average in skill, but not a “Pro” by any means. I played online Hold Em for the first time 6 months ago on ‘Party Poker’, and had never seen such card distribution in my life. It was very clear from the first hand that something was a little odd about the cards that were dealt. I lost $ 4800 in 4 months on Party Poker, most of that in disbelief of the bad beats. I recently joined an online site that uses PricewaterhouseCoopers auditing of their cards, and have been a consistent winner every week since ...

I played at PP for a while. I am an experienced poker player but after doubling my initial investment in one day, I went on a never-ending losing streak. I thought it was because I just needed to improve my game so I read some more and practiced etc. only to find myself still losing consistently. Then I played a real holdem game with actual people and slaughtered them. In this live game, I found myself being overly timid with strong hands because I was so used to getting beat on the river. In the live game, unlikely crap didn't happen. When poor players went all-in on garbage hands, they lost. Not so online. People can say what they want but you can't ignore observable facts. I think the card distribution odds on Party Poker is a lot like flipping a coin twenty times and getting the same result every time. It can't happen. My theory is that some players have a higher likelyhood of drawing face cards on the pre-flop where as others are more likely to get low cards. Hence the streakiness of the play. It's probably still random to a certain degree but stacked in favor of players who have just joined. This shouldn't be such a suprise. If newbies walked into a real poker game and bet the way they do online, they would lose so fast they would never play again, which would mean lower rakes for the casino. There is a term in psychology for blaiming everyone but yourself for failure. I try to avoid doing that at all costs. But if these guys really are shifting the odds, then not only is it unfair but it makes good players feel like they aren't really that good or just cursed with bad luck. I don't play poker to have fun, I play to win money and it's unfortunate that I can't do it online.

A house edge of 64.01 per cent. That's what the above profit numbers work out to. Al Capone's numbers racket had nothing on these guys. With the game so stacked, there are thousands of players who are going to be very surprised in a real game that their runner, runner straights don't occur very often. I rated it a 1 only because I like some of the hats that I got to wear.
