Love and Hate Cake

Why is it that I can't stand the incredibly consistant bad beats at Cake?
I read all the posts about Cake suftware and how horrible it is.
Yet, I keep playing there at below $10 levels and continue to win.
I think I finally figured out why I have been so successful at Cake and maybe this may help some of you have better luck.
At the low level MTTs, that I only play, donk mining is in every game.
I have tried to play like a donk and that didn't work but I had a few incredible
chipstacks after first hour. But I believe the software punished me with huge set ups later. I tried to play alot of hands early and had good success but got knocked out early more often.
Then I started entering tournaments 20-30 minutes late when blinds were 100-150
and my success rate tripled easily.
I avoided the early donkfest and somehow I seem to win a hand within the first 3 of sitting down.
other advise: avoid going all in after a bad beat (8-10 times it will be your last hand)
PATIENCE

merge got as many beats if not more. thanks for your advice will try that.

Wow excellent advice! You figured out how to avoid the doom switch!

I don't like both cake or carbon poker, only play on cake because I have 33% rakeback otherwise would not even play freerolls there..

Or avoid the micro stakes mtt's all together. When, if ever, I play micro tournies, I am THE NIT until the first break. Like QQ+ and AK. You'll almost always manage to double up once or twice which will give you a better chipstack than entering late.

There are a lot of people killin it in HU sng's if you crave a little less variance.

So once again online poker and gaming is rigged... C'mon.... Please.... Really... I'm begging you!

All in your mind/head

But LOL Op I needed a laugh.

In before Lock

OP plays enough to know this shit ain't rigged, he's just lashing out at that evil mistress called variance. Sitting out while the shove-junkies kill each other off might be a variance reducing strategy. But I'm not gonna support that idea.

F**K CAKE, they won't let me change my screen name anymore!!!!!!

"Then I started entering tournaments 20-30 minutes late when blinds were 100-150.."

But then you don´t get all the juicy donk stacks, other good players get these easy chippies early...missed opportunites !

I myself have had my share of this network though, mentally i have a block in my mind the RNG hates me and dishes me out coolers for weeks after I make a withdrawl.

Finally gave up on the network. Until Lock went over there!

Blah.

Have myself like 93$ on lock poker and am in no rush to ever play there anytime soon

I love Merge and obv pokerstars/PartyPoker but don't want to rub them in to much for the usa members.

Doom switch and cashout curse in one thread. Sweet!
