I wouldnt say I m a good player, but I win S&G tournies here and there. After couple of software crashes later, I m beginning to see a lot more bad beats than usual. I lost 3 games in a row raising on AAs only to be beaten by a flushed out board. I m so sure I m going to be flamed a bit here, but I m beginning to feel the software is unplayable. Ok maybe bad month...anyone here with the same opinion?

Wow you lost 3 games in a row with  AA ???? HAS THIS EVER HAPPENED BEFORE ?????

You get more bad beats on here because it's full of shyte players. Here's a bad beat from today- what does it prove ? Absolutely nothing. Rather than blame the software I just accept that the best hand pre flop wont always hold up.Even the best STT players are are losing 40% of the time, accept this or quit. As it happens I don't know a single good STT player on the site who isn't in profit. Just be glad you are getting action with your premium hands and play em aggressively.

oh I like this one. Shortstack QJ, flopped 772. I raise, he called all-in. I call- Guess what. He flopped 72. Thats after couple of frustrating hands. I dont know, its just unplayable these days. I m quitting putting in money and just going to play the freerolls for the fun of it. Something changed in the software. Its weird. Since the last time On Game started giving game download errors, its looser somewhat.

ok...that wasnt as bad as losing to 7Ts with King Pair. But still fecking hell, I ve played on bad software before eg. Unibet in particular, and BF was always very reliable if you played solid poker. This is way out of whack. I m out of here and going back to Everest & PS

Play another site.

Mmm, a bloke that doesnt know the difference between a call and a raise, loses with KK, and on that basis decides the site is cooked.

Then claims to be playing solid poker and posts some horsesh1t hand history where he is making all manner of dumb moves with QJ.

Surely the first step for these fellas is Harrington on Hold em, or one of the other basic strategy books ?

I stopped playing for about a month as the bad beats had become ridiculous. I emailed BF and sent them several examples, some which were critical hands that would have made me a FT certainty.

I got the normal response but I have no doubt that the result of the games is not as random as it should be.

I only play MTT and in those tourneys it is critical that players get knocked-out (and/or can rebuy) so that a game can conclude (as quickly as possible for the operators sake imo) or the guarantee can be covered. There is a significant bias to the big stack.

There are also some games when some players can do no wrong, it does not matter what starting hand they play, they always seems to win. I call these protected players and once recognised in a tourney, I avoid playing them.

I only play for fun, I am not a good player and know that but have enjoyed some decent wins but I will be playing much less from now on.

I keep asking this question but never get a sensible reply, if you GENUINELY believed a site was set up in this way, and that "the chosen few" i.e. not you, always won, why in the name of God would you continue playing there ?

The site is set up 2 encourage donks to win.
