its also a strategy. if the player count is low (in tourney play), and theres an allin with a call, fold the pocket 7s, or the A10. sometimes stepping out of the way pays too...

Hi Guys Paul Again,As a gambler we all no doubt recognize and accept the "laws of average" factor.It cannot and will not be denied. I play Blackjack at a local casino. I usually play at the $25 minimumtable for hours at a time. I have seen dealers go on fantastic streaks of luck as well as players. Suddenly a reversal of fortunes surfaces and it goes vice versa. The same trends occur when I play in the casino's poker room, I can go an hour, sometimes more without getting involved in a hand, no viable pockets to even play loose with. While online I experience the same trends. I go bad and then suddenly I get a rush of winning pockets. As for the droughts occurring after money withdrawals from online poker rooms, it's just a coincidence. I would love to blame my droughts on rigged software. The other night there were over 80,000 players online at one time. Now just how in the world do you figure they singled you out? Out of the entire population of "players currently online" do you suppose any software can do that?!!!They can deliver weak pockets which I refer to as a "lags" because they delay your game as any good poker player will bide his time and wait, wait, wait and wait some more if need be for a viable hand.The community board may be a tad juiced as well, but then again it is going to lose for you and win for you in turn, as the "laws of average" kicks in again! Same thing at a Blackjack table when a player does the opposite move with his/her hand as he should and then the dealer instead of making a solid hand, BUSTS! Nobody wants to kick the lame player unless the dealer makes a 21. Same thing in online poker rooms. You seem to remember the "bad beats" more predominantly than the hands you committed the bad beat on yourself. Human nature, we are basically negative creatures. Some more than others, thus the constant complaining and finger pointing. A decent comparison for the online community boards would be looking back to when you were learning poker as a kid, remember when deuces were wild? That creates excitement and more possibilities for everyone's hand involved. Again, it works for you and against you within the guidelines of the "laws of average". It's how you play the winning hands that differs the winners from losers.Maximize your wins and minimize your losses. It's just that simple. Rigging? Yes. But not individual conspiracies! Well guys/gals that's the way I see it.

I Play At This Site Only When A Reload Is Offered.i Play Internet Poker Professionally.is It Rigged, No Idea. But When I Put My Numbers Along Side The 9 Other Sites I Play At For Bonus Purposes It Isn't Even Close, This Site Ranks Dead Last In My Profit/hr Category. I Am A Very Tight Player. Can This Site Be Beat, Of Course. Can Others Sites Be Beat For More Per Hour, For A Tight Player Like Me, No Question.unless I'm Being Paid I Never Log On This Site.

I haven't been playing for long but Party Poker seems fishy. When I first started playing the real money tables, I was winning like crazy. Tripled my 50$ in 2 days playing like a complete fish. Then I lost it all over the next two weeks. Lost on 7 bad beats in a row once, three of them were cracked pocket Aces. Caught a flush on the flop, was called with top pair and a 2 kicker. He caught runners for the full house. I played raked hands for the bonus they offered me and I made $60 in an hour on the $.50 tables! Won another $50 the next day. Then I started losing like crazy once again. I recently swithched to the $10 tables. I made $200 in 3 days. I was finishing in the money 85% of the time. Over the course of the next week, I could not catch a hand. I played most tournaments without ever seeing better than a Jack. And if I did get something I went down on a bad beat. Every time I try something new, I catch whatever card I'm looking for, and then it's followed by a tremendous drought. I know bad beats and streaks happen, but they happen all the time on Party Poker. I don't play for money. I play for fun. But when the hands are stacked against you, it quits being fun. I have noticed that I'm rewarded for loose play. If I start going all in like crazy, I start winning. But that's not fun either.

Much better site than PokerStars. Cashouts are prompt. Customer service is prompt. Good play is generally rewarded the majority of the time, unlike "RiverStars". The Multi Tables could have better structure (I prefer Ultimate Bet for those) but on the whole, this is the most popular site for a reason. I've never had a cashout or deposit problem and never had a reason to suspect the software. Recommended.

Nice bonus promotion, the best in the world. The game is rigged but if you play well in the distance you win, shure!! The game is rigged because the lucky is simulated, the card are not random.
