ONLINE POKER - SITE - Full Tilt

In response to VA Poker:

I wasn't trying to talk about the proper way to play pocket AAs preflop. That had nothing to do with my post. I was simply pointing out that it's not like the sites would have nothing to gain from having the sites reward bad play.

My point was that, as many have said before me, these poker sites need the masses to be pleased with their play and their results. If people find out that they have to actually devote some time to learning the game or they will lose all the time, they will not play.

The system doesn't have to be told who is "good" or who is "bad". That is making things far too complicated and is not at all necessary. The site only needs to systematically provide miracle turn and river outs that would never happen in real poker. The players who would be the recipients of these magic bad beats would obviously be the players who made bad decisions. Instead of losing because of their mistakes and allowing good players to benefit from exploiting those mistakes, the system would bail them out.

You say the better player doesn't always have the best hand but isn't that what constitutes the "better player"? And, in my example, didn't the better player have the best hand? Are you saying that K4 is a better hand than AA?
