888 bad beats

Is it just me or does 888 poker seem to have many more bad beats than other poker rooms? I’m not just venting about my own bad beats. I don’t play there often but I’m constantly seeing players winning on the river with a 2 or 3 outer with both players all in. Or even someone going all in with a high pocket pair and being called by someone with junk with 94o and making two pair. I mainly play pokerstars, probably 10:1 vs 888 but I see this way more often on 888.

Is it just me? If not, how do you play successfully on 888?

Its not just you I have had tons of bad beats constantly. I think online poker attracts bad beats left and right because it favours players that always eliminate myself.

its the same like every other legit site. i played them all and either you are lucky or you dont. wish you much success. greetings.

If you only put in 10% of your volume on 888 Poker, then you have almost certainly not played enough to overcome even the most basic variance. So yes its just your imagination.

well, when you play ST, Turbo and low buyin games on any online site you find the game too much loose and so it results in frequent bad beats.
You need to give plenty of time and enough volumes and quite bold moves to show the results in your favour.
In my case I do very well in 888 tourneys but in cash games I do badly. It is because I fail to switch out from the mentality of the tourneys while playing the Cash games.

You need to give ample time and volumes plus few bold decisions to get the result in your favor.

In my case I love bad beats on 888 as I know it is part of the game and sooner or later I am going to crack down someone Aces with my connectors.

I meet it everywhere
I've had a lot of bad bits on 888 and ACR this week
although I tried to make the best decisions
River knows his business well
aggressive game against phones it's like a lottery
but in general, all the same, I blame only myself and my decisions

random number generator they have is unusual - this is my opinion, when you play in one room, you get used to it

Do not waste your time and money on 888. Those bad beats have nothing to do with variation. the cards are manipulated by the so called RNG or how i lke to call it 'Rigged number generator'.
Blast wheel is manipulated as well as cashback and the free wheel. The whole site has nothing to do with poker it's just a money cow the site owners are milking every day.

Something strange happen with 888poker

guys wanna ask something..

is anyone here facing problem like this when playing with 888poker..

Im using gaming laptop ASUS ROG G75VW running with window7 , im playing all high end game just fine, but not with 888poker.. since covit-19 started, im start to play with them (888poker) as all casino now closed.

since then im already loosing over usd 5k with 888poker, if u questioning how my playing skill is, im often get to final in casino open tournament, between 10 tournament mostly i will there to final about 8 of them and some score 1st price.

my questions is.. does anyone here when playing with 888poker facing with issue like this..

- every time i had like AA,KK,QQ,JJ or basically a winning card, the program Apps got flicker in screen, and then program crash, from there to get back into poker room took ages, when manage to get connection your turn already folded.

- sudden disconnection during important trade to make you win.. but very strange my YouTube and Netflix still buffering amazingly fast.

- im also facing with issue if i had like AA or winning card but my screen not flicker or got disconnection basically its a trap for me to loosing. and its was true. i face this issue today over 17x.. and all of it was really a trap.. only manage to safe 5 trade because of im manage to get in table in time and win the trade.

- im also did stop playing with their apps and using only their instant play from web browser, and this issue are still the same, im using opera, and my opera crashing and force to close.

- not only that flop always turning against player, player who had like AA or KK often loosing in there.. in your hand score good tight card but flop turn small card and it steal by those player who had the worse hand.

Questions is what going on? is 888poker some kind of scammer.. choosing to who they should give a winner.

The 888 Poker client used for laptops and PCs is rather sensitive to short disconnections. While other clients like PokerStars are able to reconnect within a few seconds, so you can finish your hand, the 888 client tend to crash and need a complete restart. The only solution, I have found, is to have a good internet connection. If that is not possible, you might want to play somewhere else.

playing on 888 software means a true internet connection either a HSPDA+ or 4G or Broadband or a VSAT. The internet should be a real internet like if it says 10 Mbps then in reality it must offer such speed.

I have noticed and have this problem also on 888, but mostly it is a more recent problem I noticed. Maybe because of significant player traffic increase from all the lockdowns?

The disconnection is caused by high traffic these days for which obviously they are not prepared.
I am sorry to hear that you lost 5k and i can guarantee that you wont be able to recover that amount no matter what you do. 888 is manipulating cards in order to generate action. That is my book is a scam and that's exactly what 888 is, a big obvious ridiculous SCAM. They are not even good at hiding it is that obvious.
Save your money and stay away from 888

Thanks for your comment bro, honestly from my opinion you are 100% correct, they are to greedy, btw i made comparison today while playing with their tournament games usd 5/buy.

here what i get.
look at my card variation

room A room B
A3s K3s
T2o T9o
KK K8s
23o J3o
49s 44
A7 Q7
88 A8
10K 10Q

by looking at this card pattern, what it tell..
their RNG are the shittest on earth.
RNG are not suppose to work by targeting individual account.
its suppose to work base on particular deck being play dedicated on each specific poker room.

from now on im off from 888poker, they are not honest sites..

you are right m8 whole thing is a rigged!!

That is another thing i forgot to mention. I was playing 2-3 tables at the time and this happens a lot and when i say that i mean A LOT it's not even funny. Same cards dealt at 2 tables even at all 3. What are the chances playing like that to get same cards at multiple tables even same colors from time to time. I will let those who defend these poker sites to calculate these odds. I know what common sense say on that matter.

yea they suspended my account for logging in from a different country

stole my money just like that... i can't access the account now

support don't care

i was deep in a freeroll at the time building up a bankroll i don't think they like that

888poker is the only site where i have seen the board is a royal flush

impossible?

also i will be accruing enough for a withdrawal from this site thru freerolls and cash table fish

it may take some time because i ain't all that

BUT

their finagling has really focused my shit

i predict issues with aforementioned withdrawal tho

tbc...

I play 888 ps pp and recently started wsop.ca pp is junk always has been had 999 999 999 play money chips I won legitimately… I had a lot of free time back then (20years ago) got account banned for cheating? Or possible chip selling? Mmk PS I do well but I’m very very careful of being donked. Pp I only play ring tables at mid+ 888.com I did very well. I’m from Ontario and was forced to move to 888.ca OMFG! I have never been bad beat so many times! Playing $22-109 buy in tournaments and 80% of hands 80% of players call? No raise but they’ll call most every pot multi way limp limp limp preflop with any 2 cards… rarely see 3 or 4 bets and when you do it’s the one other decent player at the table and they lose to cards I wouldn’t even want to check BB with! Is everyone in Ontario bad at poker? Or is it just 888? Recently started playing at WSOP and it’s night and day bank roll has never dipped. Mind you at 888 I have went from free roll to 1st place in $6000 guaranteed MTT…. IF YOU ARE FROM ONTARIO ONLY PLAY FREEROLLS THERE SO PROFITABLE! DO NOT DEPOSIT!!

888 has some shortcomings, but I always return to them after the next registration in another room. I have played more than 6000 MTTs and I will say that the RNG may not be fair, but just like that I would not come back here.
The random number generator at PokerStars and GGPoker are taking a break compared to 888 in my subjective opinion.

Totally agree. Seems to me generally the biggest chipstack wins too, thus knocking out a player and they obviously hope the eliminated player will buy in to another tournament. Withdrew my funds earlier this year due to this.

Hi, friend!
I think there are a lot of bad beats in 888 because the players go into the hand with all the cards they've been dealt. Sooner or later, someone will make a great hand and outplay your premium hands.
But since there are a lot of such players, this will happen quite often 😀

None of the sites are rigged but def can feel like it.

My adv ice to you, is only play the game if your having fun, if you are trying to win, then you are going to need to spend A LOT of time studying and probably also need a specific personality type.

Also you will lose many days, even if you are a winning player and there is nothing you can do about it.

That said, you shouldn't be playing on 888. The rake is terrible, the rake-back is non-existent, and there are just much better options out there to choose from.

No, is not just you.
Sometimes I can even see the river coming to crush the good player, and it happens to others too. it happens even in my favor sometimes.
The most weird situation is when a little second before the bad beat happen, the application blocks for few seconds, like someone from inside manually arrange that card. Is maybe just an error, but usually when that happens, bad beats appear.
I suspect that is possible for them to change the randomly course of cards when they want, for the players they want. They may have intruders that may want to win easy money. Technologically is possible.
Another hypothesis is that they can change random cards increasing chances or decreasing for some type of players (e. g. beginners, loose players), especially hoping they will invest later more. That explain the luck for beginners that happen usually.
Or maybe is just in our minds, conspiration theory. In the future I predict that the random software will be somehow guaranteed and verifiable from everyone and the rooms will just take that 5-10% of profit without other combination.
All of these is valid for any other room, I suppose, but now I only play on 888.
About making profit, that is still possible, even so, with all that bad beats, following rigorously 2 rules:
1. Wen I win something, even at freerolls, I withdraw at least 50%, even is is about 5-10$. Every 5-10$ more than my minimum bankroll, is also a withdraw. Sometimes, I increase my bankroll too, but without making deposit. I only deposit to win free tickets and i withdraw back as soon as possible. Because I suspect they increase your bad beats if you not withdraw, trying to get the money back.
2. I try to play only solid hands, I avoid marginal situations, because even I am bad beaten, I still gain the respect of the other players and that gives me more fold equity next games, because is one think if your bad beat is q9o against 27o, or kk against 27o. Even donks will respect you more after they beat you against kk than q9.
So, good luck I wish to all, try to play seriously, and I hope you will have less bad beats.
