It's not just the site thats garbbage (sic)though is it ?
You are playing $2 MTTS (very badly) against bad players, in what is essentially a shytefest,and a donk laden shytefest at that, then moaning when you lose with ak against 44, or with k 10 vs jj.
If some of you learnt how to fold pre, you wouldn't see so many flops to whine about.
My advice: go read a few books.
HTH.

pm me f you want to scope my crypto days on here, i will give you m player name. i played mainly 100 dollar SnGs. 93 rating and 30 percent plus ROI.
i played one table a time for fun, then every update just juiced the game more and more, so i kicked it into touch, now i play one home game a week [fri] and one 50 entry casino tourney a week [mon].
i couldnt care tuppence for your thoughts about juicing, i know it is totally contrived,and will not get another cent from me.
faining weakness and trapping is an integral part of my play, just doesnt work online any more, you rarely have the true equity you believe you have.
i started looking at online poker again after many years, because i read a carbon poker rep spouting off on 2plus2,
so i downloaded it and tested it.
over a series of random tables on random days over a month, i counted communty card aces
i spreadheeted the results, i counted 130 community cards per table, starting from when i opened it.
i did that 100 times, that was 100 rows of 130 cards, expressed as N for no ace or Y for an ace.
out of that 100 rows of 130 cards, only 27 had 10 aces or less in them, 73 had 11 or more aces in them.
thats an ace every 8.03 cards hit the board instead of the random 1 in 13.
also a flushed flop happened once ever 8 flops on average instead of 1 in 20 as random flops would.
your reassurance or scorn matters not one jot to me, theyve made a mockery out of the game, and more fool anyone who wants to graft multi table washers, out of the contrived garbbage now served up.
i was simply cheaply testing the site.i did the same with several sit n gos.pm me f you want to scope my crypto days on here, i will give you m player name.i played mainly 100 dollar SnGs.93 rating and 30 percent plus ROI.i played one table a time fo
Not a single day goes by where the online poker forums do not come under bombardment by some new conspiracy theory, or just a new version of an old conspiracy. In this article I will explain three of the most popular conspiracy theories and look at the veracity of each claim.
Online poker conspiracy #1: The online poker sites use “house” players or poker bots.
Summary: The basic premise of the “house player/poker bot” accusation is that the poker sites employ either real players, or use poker bots, who have some type of built-in advantage over the other players: Knowledge of other players’ hole cards, knowledge of the upcoming cards, or something along those lines. These players/bots are then planted at tables to fleece the legitimate players.
Fact or Fiction: This is one of the most common allegations, and the reason so many players can make this assertion is because it is impossible to prove or disprove without the online poker sites agreeing to some form of full audit of their hand histories. So, the jury is completely out on this one; most Poker Pros and people in the industry discount this possibility, but there is no proof either way.
Verdict: Unknown
Online poker conspiracy #2: The online poker sites “juice” the flops to create more action.
Summary: People alleging “juiced” flops believe the sites tinker with the flop texture to insure that multiple players make strong hands. The theory is that if there is a lot of action the rake will be higher, which leads to more income for the online poker site.
Fact or Fiction: This is one of the easier conspiracies to debunk, since the flop cards are completely known -unlike hole cards which often remain hidden. Therefore, many players have been able to look at large samples of flops and have found that each card is just as likely to appear as any other, as well as the lack of “action flops”.
Verdict: Total Fiction
Online poker conspiracy #3: The online poker sites skew the odds to allow bad players to win more often than they should.
Summary: Players making this claim feel that the online poker sites reward bad play. They feel that the odds do not add up: Inside straights hit too often, under-pairs beat over-pairs too often, and so on. The theory is that by having bad plays rewarded ever so slightly more than they should be; bad players will keep their money longer -which leads to more players, which leads to more games, which leads to more rake.
Fact or Fiction: This is another area where many players have done a lot of research with large samples of hands, and have found nothing out of the ordinary. However, even a very slight skewing of the odds can achieve the objective outlined, and although this is another conspiracy that is roundly rejected by most players, it cannot be ruled out entirely without a full audit, since the information can be found in hidden hole cards.
Verdict: Most Likely Fiction

i planned to sit tight, and see a few cheap flops, set mine etc. i wanted to get into top 20 quickly, first opportunity to see a cheap flop was with ace 9, i was big blind, i called a 30 raise into 150 pot, a raise from a player ho raised into every hand double the bb.
i spiked 2 pair, he bet the pot, i raised him, at this point i was only worried about the flush draw, couldnt see him having trips, when he re-raised me again i knew he had spiked the ace, you only had to have watched his play to know, that gave me a stack to look at a few more cheap flops hence a cheap look at the flop with ace 10, same muppit same scenario.
my AK reraise allin was to take the pot down there and then, he had only put in about 15 percent of his stack, i would of been folding to the table rocks all in, there again i wouldnt of been raising in with pocket 4s, not when there was a 42 percent chance of another pocket pair being dealt out.

Looking at his Betfair stats on Scope, my guess would be a 2$ rebuy.
Of course, don't forget, he was only testing the site cheaply because he normally plays $100 STTS.
Which is a bit like going to a garage and getting a second hand Clio on finance, with a view to coming back the following week to buy a Ferrari.
Then backing out of the Ferrari deal, because the P reg clio wont do 0-60 in 6 seconds.
And calling everyone who works in the gagrage a c***.

You have posted hand histories with your user name on them so we can all see your stats, and we can see your play from the evidence you yourself have provided. You could PM me punterz stats for all I care, it changes nothing.
Your play is dreadful, your spelling is awful, you can't manage even basic maths, and you seem to expect people who have seen hundreds of thousands of hands of online poker, to take your word for it that everything is juiced, on the basis of two dozen micro stakes tournies.
All because you played badly in 2 dollar rebuy.
I'm sorry, but I'm not convinced. I've seen hundreds of flops today, every last one of them as dull as ditchwater. Then again I'm capable of folding king ten suited, and ace nine.

i know i was bored and reading this forum last night so i downloaded the bf poker client, then entered the next tourney that was not a turbo, it was eleven oclock.
i think i tested the cheap sit n goes, 3 or 4 of them months ago playing a different strategy each time, i think it was this account, maybe not, if not i have only played that one tourney, the poker clien is now uninstalled.
i dont really criticise someone who can turn 10BBs plus per 100 hands profit live turning to online, paying what is essentially a tax by accepting that the juice / equity levelling deals, that mean more losses, however multi-tabling and skimming just 2 or 3 BBs per 100 hands is more proitable still than single table live.
just not my bag, i play because i love it, it saddens me to see how these networks have bastardised what is a great game.

listen ballbag, and listen good.
If any of these sites deals were completely random, then they would offer insurance with a guaranteed odds skim just like any casino game. it would really increase their profit margins, obviously theres more to be made sodomising the game the way they do.
they do not offer it because the cards in certain circumstances are to predictable. the ace heavy boards at merge being one example where you can watch the juice live, no hand histories needed. even with a 20 percent skim off the correct odds, they would still get brutilised.

If you had have said yes to my hand history question then I maybe could have convinced you that the hands aren't juiced but as you don't even take poker seriously enough to save them then you deserve nothing. Poker will always be juiced to you, you are beyond redemption.
As for your 18 game stat, please come back after 1,000 games and I might respect them. Anyone can get lucky and a 18 sample is nowhere near enough. I have an ROI of 97% at $7 STTs on Stars in a 16 game sample, get my point?

people like you who defend the industry as a whole entity, quite frankly just make me laugh out loud.
you see you can not convince anyone the deals are completely random industr wide, when all they have to do is go to carbon poker, open any low stakes table,at some random time, on some random day, log down the first 130 community cards, and close the table, then repeat, and repeat, and if your eyes aint already bleeding enough repeat again, 2 of our home game lads had very similar results a me.
out of the 100 times over a month that i did it, only 27 times did a 130 card sequence have 10 or less aces in it, but ts worse than that, when you deduct the 12 sequences where the expected average of 10 aces happened you are left with 73 over ace heavy boards agianst 15 under ace boards,
hh mean nothing, all matters is how a site is dealing now, right now, not months or years ago.
combined with my other 2 simple tests , flushed flops occurring on average every 8 flops instead of one in 20, and the turn card pairing the flop test, that was also virtually double the expected rate.
they are simple tests that anyone should do before ever considering depositing, if a site s prepared t adulterate the deal one way,then where they will draw the line is anyones guess.
so to sum up
over a month i opened 100 low takes tables i logged to spreadsheet the fist 130 community cards and closed the table, then the next time telly was boring i rolled over and opened another table, and did the same again.
the results 73 sequences 11 aces or more 12 sequences expected norm 10 aces 15 sequencceesss 9 or less aces
average over all 1300 cards, ace every 8.03 cards.
average for flopped flushes 1 in 8 flops instead of the expected 1 in 20. turn card pairing the flop occurred every 3.78 turn cards seen.
now off you go again and try convincing me that the only 3 simple tests i decided to run on the site were all so far askew at the same time is simply chance, over to you,of you go now.

I don't understand why you are criticising the site rather than spending as much time on it as possible. You know it has ace heavy boards. Other players haven't realised. You therefore have a huge advantage. You have information about the board that other people don't. Instead of exploiting it you want to play on another site where the board is truly random and you have no advantage. Why is that?

yes i could learn the rig of carbon easily, it is after all unashamedly blatant. that way i could use an unfair advantage over someone who is naive enough to believe their advertising, its probably what you are doing right now.
what you suggest makes me feel dirty, its akin to theft, no different to insider trading, and just about sums up the online poker industry and most online players mind set, anything goes when it comes to money eh.

Well really what I was getting at is this. Large numbers of players complain that deals are ****. They also claim they understand how they are **** and can predict what the outcome of a hand will be. In my experience all of them use this as a reason for leaving a site.
One conclusion you could draw is that these people are virtuous and don't want to gain an unfair advantage. From what you say I accept that you are one of those people.
Another conclusion you could draw is that the vast majority of people doing the complaining do not even believe what they are saying themselves. Not being virtuous if they did believe what they were saying they would stay with the site and make a killing.
For that reason I'm always suspicious of someone who says 'It's ****, I'm leaving' instead of 'It's ****, I'm staying'.

A question though. To what extent, if any, do you think the boards you are looking at ought to be light on aces?
Obviously you are only examining occasions where there is a flop. Where the hand is concluded pre-flop there is nothing to look at. Is it possible that where aces are dealt as hole cards betting is likely to be aggressive pre-flop and so the hand is likely to be concluded pre-flop. Had there been a flop it would have been light on aces since they are in the hole cards but you never get to count this in your stats. Where betting is light pre-flop there is a little less chance of Aces being dealt as hole cards and consequently more chance that there will be a board and that aces will appear on it.
Is there a selection bias here?
A question though. To what extent, if any, do you think the boards you are looking at ought to be light on aces? Obviously you are only examining occasions where there is a flop. Where the hand is concluded pre-flop there is nothing to look at. Is it
I love it when these mentalists use the closing gambit of " I've unistalled the software " and not " I've rung the helpdesk and self excluded myself."
Wow you have unistalled the software !
If someone came on here and said " I saw my wife had added a new male friend on Facebook, I took this to mean she was cheating on me,so I've just shot her. She isn't dead but she is bleeding heavily" I'd think to myself " Thats a bit drastic, phone an ambulance and prepare for some jail time. "
But uninstalling the software is like saying " I think my wife is cheating on me so I've hidden her dressing gown...that will teach her."
I played 3 6 max cash tables last month for one of the Xmas promos. During a 2 hour period I think I connected with about 3 flops. Indeed the flops could not have been any less conducive to getting further action from me.
What this latest conspiracy theorist is claiming, is that if you toss a coin 130 times and heads comes up more than 65 times, the coin is ****.
Priceless.

quite simple open table, log down one row of 130 columns, close table, roll over and watch telly, repeat when ever bored for a month until 100 rows of columns are comeplete, filter out all the hits from the 13,000 logged community cards = 1600 plus aces divide into 13,000 = ace every 8.03 community cards seen.
the highest was 33 aces per 130 card sequence, and the lowest 5. the aces were heavier by 38.23 percent over 13k random samples.

your a proper nugget you, anyone playing decent stakes would change name every few weeks, ban their scope etc data being seen etc, who in their right mind would want other decnt players knowing anything about them.
then theres nuggets like you, 3800 sit n goes for around 55c a game average return, boosted by a sharp 6k spike,at 2500 games whilst still being just a few hundred dollars up on the 2.5k sngs, got lucky in a tourney i presume.
you play 20 dollar sngs for an average 55 cent profit per table, stack the years upon years worth of profit together, along with your tourney winnings, including your 6k onetime touch and then try and come over as being some kind of poker authority.
your scope shows you a few hundred dollars in profit for the first 2.5k games, and 2.2k up for 3800 == 55 cents a game, its a joke no matter whatever way you spin it

"waffle waffle pre flop yada yada" isn't a reply to a point it's a refusal to address it and as debating tactics go fairly transparent.
I believe your figures. I believe I would get the same figures if I went to the trouble. Now explain what statistical methods you have used to ensure that your results aren't exactly what you should expect from a fair deal.
Here's an experiment you could do which would deal with my argument. Get on a heads up table with a friend, agree to see a full board every single hand just checking down and record those stats.
The ones you have are worthless unless you either account for the inherent bias or have a reason to believe there is no inherent bias.

indeed you would get the same figures i got if YOU did go and try carbon.
you are convinced bf is straight, right i believe you, so i will re-install the client and do the same tests over a month, i will put batches of 10 row results here along with the table I.D.s and hand number start, and finish.
i think from tests i have already done here that aces will show 1000 times in 1300 random community cards give or take 5 percent.

Manxy, to be clear, I'm not saying you are making up your results.
I'm saying that using your method of looking at hands where the players choose to see a flop has an effect on the number of aces you should expect to see. If your plan is to simply repeat the experiment I'm not clear what that would achieve and it seems like a lot of effort to go to.
I know people are saying 'LOL sample size' but I don't think that's the only issue. I have no idea what proportion of aces you should expect to see. My argument is that it's possible the very fact that a flop is dealt makes that flop more likely to be ace heavy. But how much more I have no idea. I just doubt that 1/13 board cards ought to be an ace.

ok ovalman the hands from here, filter out all community cards seen in all histories, tell us how many community cards there were, and how many of those community cards were aces.

No point trying to convince losers like "chipliar" and baldydoobs" manxy. What you must understand about these low lifes is that they are compulsive gamblers. It's a bit like telling an alcohlic that the drink is doing bad things to your body and will kill you, they will deny this and also deny that they have a drink problem. Ask chipfire how much money he has lost on the horses, sports betting ETC? and why he has to have a loss limit on everything? Fact is something that has to be programmed by a human cannot be random, and in the future at some point it will be proved that online poker is not honest.

No wonder you dont understand how stats work FFS.

manxy 19 Jan 12 13:24 yes i could learn the rig of carbon easily, it is after all unashamedly blatant. that way i could use an unfair advantage over someone who is naive enough to believe their advertising, its probably what you are doing right now. what you suggest makes me feel dirty, its akin to theft, no different to insider trading, and just about sums up the online poker industry and most online players mind set, anything goes when it comes to money eh.
what a load of bolux , i suppose when playing live and a rich /drunk fish down on your table ,you get up and refuse to play as it wouldent be right taking his money its a long time since ive seen as much garbage spouted on one thread . stinks of a live player assuming internet is easy and because he cant cut the mustard needs to blame someone instead of looking at his own play

I think phaedrus might have this spot on when he says, "I'm saying that using your method of looking at hands where the players choose to see a flop has an effect on the number of aces you should expect to see."
I don't think I'm giving away any massive strategy secret when I say that if I pick up AA or AK then I'm raising, and because I've raised there is less likely to be a flop.
Now if there was post flop action then those boards are likely to be light on aces because with AA I hold half of all the aces in the deck and with AK I hold a quarter.
Those boards are not going to appear in manxy's stats simply because those hands don't see a flop as often as other hands.
So if an ace did appear as often as 1 time in 13 THEN I would be suspicious.

Manx your survey is flawed as you can't see the community cards on every flop, as hands are sometimes folded preflop. Pharo explained this perfectly. I have a Masters in Mathematics ... and im telling you that your survey is inherently flawed. Judging by your response to Pharo, you don't understand this. You may well be right about online poker being ****, but you are not supplying ANY evidence in this thread whatsoever. I imagine you won't accept my input however.
Cheezer, you need to see a psychiatrist! Not a psychologist, as they can't administer medication.

Still, at least he should be hearing from the Gambling Commission soon. Every cloud and all that.

I would imagine something to do with the complete lack of evidence in support of your theory.
Without the evidence, it just sounds like sour grapes you see. Personally I find your posts very amusing, but clearly the Moderators dont see it that way.

The conpsiracy theorists loved that David Shayler when he joined their ranks, especially with him having formerly worked for the Intelligence Services.
Then he started claiming the planes that flew into the Twin Towers were HOLOGRAMS on Daytime TV, and they started drifting away from him. When he went on Sky and announced he was the Son of God it was all over for him. Now he dresses in womens clothes and signs on the dole.
It's a slippery slope mate, that's all I'm saying.

It's human nature to see patterns, that's why you see faces in the clouds if you look close enough. For a while (recently) I seen my opponents hit every river. You know the type, I push AKs and they call A2o and hit the 2 on the river. I started to convince myself it was me.
I own Holdem Manager 2 but haven't really got the full use out of it. When I eventually found out how to run the numbers I ran the "races" report and guess what? The numbers match almost exactly what I should be expecting for odds. I've only a 15,000 hand sample for races but the numbers match close enough for me to know I was getting what was expected. When I hit 1 million hands, I'd fully expect those numbers to match even closer.
I really don't know what your trying to say about card patterns, 2 distinct hands in a 20 game sample isn't a pattern. Look at the number Pi to 10 decimal places:
3.1415926535
I can see a pattern 1's and 5's emerging in that number above so Pi can't be random.
It's no fun losing, sometimes you see only what you want to see, the cards are as random for everyone, it's what you do with the cards and your bets that wins in the long run.
