I am perplexed how so many smart people can be in denial of bots and/or funny software. Why is this so taboo to talk about? There are bots, and the absolute most incentive to use them comes from the poker sites themselves. I am so brokenhearted by poker lately, I used to be in denial of the bots, fiercely, but I cannot deny reality.
It seems that instead of wanting to talk about bots, how many there are, and how there isn't a way to prove the software is legit, I just get a lot of "oh it's just variance, it happens" and "just play more hands the numbers will work out eventually"... I get that bad runs happen, I get that it can go on for a long time, but there is a difference between bad runs, and noticing some "players" suckout with marginal hands repeatedly. There is a difference between other players getting lucky, and that other player getting lucky on you every time. I've stopped counting the amount of times I've had AA or KK cracked by total garbage mere places from the money. I have lost count of the time I have had AA or KK or QQ at cash tables, and NEVER getting any actions, UNLESS I'm about to get sucked out.
Why can't we just talk about it?
Ako Vs 77 I 3x, they call
Flop KT8 I raise , they reraise, I jam, they SNAP call
Turn A SO I had 90% on the flop, Turn top 2, makes like 95%....
River... Do i even have to say it? 7.
I have flopped 3 rainbow straights and was called all in the flop each time and lost to turn river flushes and full house....
I had 4 flushes on wednesday. 2 K high flushes that lost to A high, one baby flush that lost to higher, and a NUT flush that lost to river quads. Flush over flush is only like 3% of the time and quads is like never, yet there goes another days BR in coolers and
Keep in mind, this is not even close to all of the bad beats or coolers, AND this is just the last couple of days.
Again, I get it, bad beats happen, but day in, day out, getting called with junk on boards that dont connect at all and turn river or river.... I am trying not to lose my sanity or love for the game!
Yeah, man! Looks like we are similar type, I see everywhere the 'poker mainstream' crap: variance, happens, these things get balanced by the time etc. Of course, it is not bad, as it keeps the massive losers in the game, on the other side, we both know, it has no business, connection to practice, reality.
I am just waiting for the next crazy run vs. me, as the weeks, months long insanity looks like took a break in the last few days.
I know, probably you counted out the chance of runs - doesn't matter you compare to the count of dealt hands or time -, you get the result too often, that it should happen once in years or lifetime. That's the nuts. Nobody wants to talk about it. Even it is reality, it happens, it exists. Like bots, and even acr acknowledge the problem - other sites don't even do that -, can't really sort it out, how the collusion playing problem.
Until, I write in any search engine: "poker+bot+price+any site" and I get results with feedbacks etc through long pages nothing will happen, anyway, I do not know how the search engines - okay, I know, it is about money nothing else -, big companies let it happen, don't talk about official orgs, as they sell programs what usage can bring legal actions... if you think it through, you reach the result, probably everybody get their share in that little pyramid. Obviously, if the poker sites don't do any legal action protect their business - not even against these sites - you must suppose by common sense, simply logic, they are involved, or run their own ones...
About acr, it is good, but they have a 25K refund limit, the highest refund because of bots, what about i read was over 800K, i think, that was
partypoker.... so it can go really serious... but example ps, never read about a single one + collusion there + rng insanity (as we don't have official name for the crazy, mathematically almost impossible runs)
And yes, bad beats happen, it is not about that. 10+ years ago, it wasn't part of
online poker, or at least i didn't experience it in the nowadays level.... have to 'pick up' the insanity, plenty times, I play based on the hud hand monitoring + apply some strange - similar like
blackjack,
roulette - variance count, as it works, somehow matching with rngs random part.... - as i saw, most profitable guys do it - nothing about poker, poker probability,
odds, variance, really nothing -, and in nowadays fields i can't get FT without this new-wave online poker play - in this month, i think i had 30-40 FT, nearly half of these wouldn't happen without forget real poker and focus for the 'online', 'rng based' poker.... you wouldn't believe what details, things I keep track, monitor and count on, not so many about poker....
