dont understand why it is so hard to let us play fair poker. the shit i have seen the last few days is unreal. why is it so hard to make a rng that works right, 5 % hands should win 5% of the time not 20%. is that too much to expect.

also this 3 x rollover stuff is a joke, cashed at 2 tourneys (finished 10th or 11th at least 4 times in a 2 week period but thats another story itself) and both times i tried to do rollover my hands would never hold up. just got gutted a few minutes ago. q 10 suited , 3 way raised pot, flop comes q 10 7, i check raise all in and both players call. one also had q 10 and the other had a set of 7s. how phony is that.Comment -
it wasn't phony to the guy who had a set of 7'sComment -
lol true. I dont mind the set of 7's. I actually played the hand bad, should not have shoved but there were flush and straight draws on the board(just like on every hand) My prob is the other guy having a q 10 as well, just seemed like such a set up hand, and the fact that there is a flush or straight draw on like 2/3 -3/4 of every flop. Just not possible.Comment -
you know whenever someone posts these 'omg online poker is rigggged!' there's like, a 99.9% chance they're not any good, right?
and in the 1 in 1000 chance that you ARE good, and online poker IS rigged, you're pretty poor at decision making/self-control.Comment -
the more important question is why someone with Q 10 is in a 3 way raised potComment -
Another question is why you're playing at stakes that allow your rollover to go all in. .50/1 is 100 max stakes, are you only winning min cashes? If so play on .25/.50 for less risk.Comment -
Jay I think you are taking it way to serious, Those that play daily see it all, at tourney today dude went all in with 10 3, two people followed one with AK other with maybe AJ so dude flops a set of 10's. Thad was at table and laughed at the dude, he was puzzled as to why laughing. Guy just didn't get it.
It's at the point where when I get KK or QQ first thought is what nonsense is going to take place to knock me out.
I'm by no means a poker player, I watched more poker this year than ever due to the Fuzzy thing and all that, those guys were lucky to get a pair, yet on this software (SBR) sometimes three players will have pocket pairs.
Best of luck to you going forward.Comment -
Poker is a game based heavily on math and psychology primarily played by people who understand neither of them.Comment -
It's funny that whenever small probability events happen, people complain.

It's OK, but I do see a lot of set over sets, and big pair versus bigger pair, but SBR poker is pretty much OKComment -
another tourney, another joke loss. qq vs a donk call with a 8 and ace in the window. earlier hand was two pair but of course runner runner for the phony flush. so this rng is legit lmao.Comment -
Had QQ as well, 75/150 blinds, I was bb, raised to 300, 3 callers behind me, flop 7 6 4, figured was in good shape, bet 1200, 1 caller that went all in! pretty much pot commited at this point IMO. Dude has 5 8 ! Really 5 8 and your willing to play it for 300, guess my raise wasn't big enough.
How do I play that better? Push all in on with QQ?

I would raise more PF. You don't want to shove because you will scare away most of the hands that will give you action which you will dominate.
I'd raise it to about 750-800 preflop and get ready to shove any non ace flop. That's a nice pot to take down without a flop and anyone who wants to come along for the ride will be paying the price. Good luck!Comment -
Same three things everyday. Air, the sun, and whiny poker players.
You lost. You're not that good at poker. Move on.Comment -
So just played 30 hands. 24 of them had coordinated flops. By that I mean there was either 2 of the same suit, 2 connected cards (6,7 or k,q) or a pair. Thats 80% of the flops. Now I realize it was only 30 hands but that is ridiculous. Lets see where it is after around 2000 hands.Comment -
all in is ur best playComment -
There are far worse options. You shove there isn't much that is going to call you outside of someone slow playing something like JJ+ AQ+. Two of those you dominate, one you're flipping against and the other two you're dead in the water. You might get a call from a AJ AT or from a looser player with mid pp. I guess that depends on the players at your table. So that said it's not like shoving is a bad play, but I think you're missing out on value there. Raising with the intention of shoving against one caller is fine. Min raising sucks. You're never folding anyone out and you're going to play QQ in a big pot out of position the rest of the hand against three other players. No thanks. If you min raise, I don't want to hear any bad beat stories.Comment -
i take back what i said. I didn't read the hand history lol well he only has one option and thats to ship. I didn't realize people had called and then he min raised to two limps or w/e that was. That is really damn awful. Thats the worse thing u can do. Shipping is ur obv play tho. To much dead money out thereComment -
I guess that will show me to not read hand histories tho. I just figured no one would have made it 300 after all those limpsComment -
making it 800 tho does not help anything at all. you are wayyyyyy to short to ever do thatComment -
800 raise leaving you approx. 10BB on the flop if an A flops is the only real move unless you just want to shut the action down now.
Min-raise is almost never the right move pre-flop, especially with limpers in the pot.Comment -
Thanks for the responses guys, they do help!Comment -
It happens, played a tourney a while back, three of us all in pre-flop. Two of us had AA, the other guy had JJ and of course a J hits on the flop. The good thing was the guy with JJ pre was so short stacked it only put a small dent in our stacks and didn't take us out.Comment -
just played another 40 hands, 30 were connected and 10 were not. so after 70 hands we have a 54-16 ratio. over 77 %.Comment -
how does anyone think making it 800 is proper? Like for that matter everyone lol all in is by far ur only play. 25% increase to ur stack for picking up the pot. I will say his play of min raising is by far the worst play u can do minus like foldingComment
