I lost... Rant!

Hmm.

1 - The Dobro network is the cake network. Or a version of it. Its this that ive just learn from someone actually formerly in the industry was rigged!

2 - It wasnt rigged to see the flop, turn, river before its dealt. It was the same as AP super user account. But they had a team playing cash games. this was on the old PokerHost network.

3 - Your 20% figure is wrong. The actual figure is more like 35%. There are always mroe outs than you think. And, your not always as far ahead as you think.

4 - Ive tracked a hell of a lot of tournament hands while ive been playing. To be fair i dont really understand most of it, but I do understand win %.

My win % with AA was 87.5%. with KK was 84%. With AK was 69%. TT-QQ was over 65%.

Its all pretty standard. In true races (between 49-51% chance of winning) i was running at 47%. Which is below standard. But thats a given as i did run awfully for a while in flips.

So, believe the top bits if you want, but I got told this today. And i checked the guy out and he is legitimate. So i believe it. I just dont want to. He did say though that big sites dont do this. They make enough money without having to. But the option is always there i guess. Its just not worth them doing it to make what you gain from it. Stars rakes $5mil a day ffs

I based that 20% figure on averages... and being heads up... and was conservative w rounding... I could see that team thing happening, and those people being able to make calls based on "playing w house money" All these example I had, I was a decent sized favorite... you would think teams wouldnt make these moves, they would be overall losing, and what good does that do?... but if they had teams playing, why is it such a stretch to think the software is manipulated?

Poker Stars... I give them the Benefit of the doubt of being legit, they did everything right w the DOJ thing, seem like a respectable company, that wants to be legit...

just my intuition when playing, it feels like its setting me up to get involved in a big pot, everytime im up over 100% ROI

I would like to know for sure and meet some people in real life that make a consistent profit off of online poker, not players paid by the sites, not people who want to seem cool and lie, if I did, I would shut up... but Im pretty sure ,the only people that exist, that are UP on online poker, are people that won a big tournament or 2, and managed it well...

but maybe thats just poker in general... I win alot live, grind out some money off and on, but lifetime, am I up anymore than 50%? Hell NO!... so u figure if I have invested 50k in poker over 10 yrs (which I havnt, its an example) at these extremes... im basically up 208$ a month at 50% ROI!

I know people who average 4 BB/100 over about 20million hands.

different stakes though. but still, profit.

[ScareCrowAKA]

ya, if u playing 5$ stakes, thats worth it... but Im just realizing, cash games under that stake, are worthless... probably should just play tournaments from now on... (unless u can like 10 table)

edit- maybe 2$ could be worth it as well

[ScareCrowAKA]

i guess if u 4 tabled at .50 1$ and averaged 3-4 BB a hour that could be worth it... thats 400$ invested each session... but to me thats not really "playing poker"

[eejit101]

I can 16 table SnG/MTT and 12 table cash.

Only issue is i dont win as much. My optimum level ive worked out is 8 SnGs.

[ScareCrowAKA]

haha, ya, Ive seen youtube videos of people 16 tableing, thats crazy... do u even think about anything, or is it just a quick glance... Im 54% to win this, shove... I like to watch patterns, etc... I think thats y I like playing live so much, I feel like I have developed awesome intuition... I think I could 3 table like 3 .50 1$ cash games if I tried, but not tournaments, if I was doing a tournament, I would want all my attention on it.

That's about as much fun as a butter eating contest

I just play it on maths. I know the maths, as NDN will attest to, its just a case of running averagely and making profit.
