paddy power poker

bignob7 · 31-08-2011 11:55pm #1

i started on pp about a week ago and ive now lost roughy 300euro on it,at first i just thought it was bad luck but the more i played the more the same things started to happen.for example i had aq and the flop was 35q,i went all in and got called by pocket nines,by now i know the weaker hand on the flop will 99% of the time beat the stronger hand on the flop on pp and it did,he hit a 9 on the river.this happens over and over again unless you have a small stack and it will let you win.if you can figure out how the site works someone could make a fortune because this site is crazy.in another instance i had pocket kings and someone went all in with q9 the flop was kq3 the turn was a q and the river was a q,this sort of thing happens too often at this site and id like to know if anyone know whats up.im by no means an outstanding player but i think the hands are not random and there are paddypower players playing that have inside info on how it works or something.i think a lot of the calls that are made by people that have no right to call normaly are stooes or something,there is just too many madness calls that end up winning.

I made a smart post so i have edited it. I made a similar thread to this when I started playing poker too. I didnt understand the game but I thought I did. Dont deposit any more money online until you have read or watched alot of strategy. When you do feel more confident play the smallest stakes available and see how you do. You really need to make an effort yourself to learn the ins and outs and all the software etc people are using.

The hands you posted are standard and happen to people every single day. Without bad beats and people sucking out with bad odds weak players would not play the game, they keep coming back again.

Google alot of stuff, like software, forums etc etc. Good luck

It's called a bad beat...get used to it! Paddy Power makes far too much money for them to have some sort of rigged system. I would imagine it's 100% down to the cards. I've seen worse happen in live games...the only reason it seems like its happening more here is that the play is faster. More hands played = more likely to see more bad beats. I would not move up to higher stakes if you're losing 300 euro that easily...they will destroy you at the better tables!

connie147 · 01-09-2011 2:26pm

Sure if its that simple that the worse hand on the flop always wins, just wait and go all-in with rubbish on the flop and you're a guaranteed winner!!

Seriously, look uo random generators and how they work. And if you're a beginner, as you obviously are, you shouldnt be losing that kinda money. But you obviously know nothing about bankroll management. Go to a poker forum where stratagy is discussed and ask the questions you need answered. The forum with the most traffic and up to date stratagy advice is on irishpokerboards.com.

Online poker is an absolute circus. It bears no resemblance to the real thing.

Really, how so, you sound like you know what you are talking about i reckon.

nix · 02-09-2011 2:22am

Ugh, people who think poker companies rig poker software in this way are just in denial. Get your **** together and get over the bad beats, or just please come to grips with the fact that your not good at online poker.

Why the **** would they rig it? They make money off you playing poker, not losing. The cards are random, the results are random yet you think you see a pattern, its sad really and your just gonna keep blaming your losing on them and not yourself...

Or y'know, try learn and move on and get better at the game itself and have some fun and maybe make money..

In what way - do you have detailed examples/statistical proof of it being 'a load of old bollox' or is it just a perception of a handful of exit hands?

The fact that your blaming the software just shows everybody here that in fact you just can't play cards very well.The online sites make money from people playing they don't care who wins so they have no reason to rig it.

Dub13 · 03-09-2011 3:19pm

I cant believe this old chestnut is still going.The poker site makes cash from the reg so it is not beneficial to them at all to rig games.

AstonMartin · 05-09-2011 4:05am

Of course its rigged.

there is no other reason for you to lose...?

twoplustwo forums.

spend a few hours on there to begin to understand where things are going wrong and dont focus on one hand you got unlucky with.

sponge_bob · 14-09-2011 2:22pm

poker is rigged:mad:

i was havin a little punt the other night and ended up getting it allin preflop with AA against a guys AK and the flop comes 10, 7, 2 the jack hits on the turn with a fking queen on the river.

i mean where did that come out off, the odds must have been astronomical:eek:

i'd say paddy was sitting in his armchair in his big mansion with his smoking jacket on, in front of a big open log fire swirling his finest cognac around in his brandy glass and holding a fat cuban cigar in his other hand and LOLing at my dimmise. and built into the arm of his arm chair is a big red button with a 'Q' symbol on it...... . . and you can guess what the dirty c**t did on the river :mad:

nix · 14-09-2011 3:44pm

And if you hit the ace you would laugh and think you're skilled, your missing the big picture, as with the majority of poker players.

If you think its fixed, then you're not cut out for poker, so just stop wasting your money, yeah ?

I take it your being extremely sarcastic, if not, i have so much pity for you, and by all means, keep donating money to other poker players

switch to boylepoker, game is much softer there than Paddy Power.

You sound like a proper thick twat mate.

nix · 18-09-2011 11:27am

Coming from the guy who thinks online poker is fixed, you have no idea how stupid your claims are, i really mean this, and i KNOW for a fact they are not fixed. That's whats funny, so keep up the denial and crying

Also what makes me sound like a "thick twat" whatever that means, I'm intrigued to hear your break down of what makes me a....."thick twat"

stewie01 · 28-09-2011 6:22pm

the funny thing is, is that it is rigged in the fact that the ''bad beats'' are so fking despicable in the sense that going all in preflop with aa against 72 and and 72 or the likes coming out on top on a regular basis, just makes the ''bad beats'' harder to take.

i dont mind losing in anything by a better player, the odd bit of luck etc, what i cant stand is being shafted on a regular bases by absolute BS. but yea im sure the regulars here are right, its just the higher frequency of hands played etc etc. their the experts.

has nothing to do with reverse psychology or anything.

Question1. If you kept losing at poker to better players would you stop playing.

Question2. If you kept losing at poker to ''bad beats'' would you stop playing.

Question3. Do any regular posters here have an opinion of their own??

or is it always the same drivel.

think about it

nix · 28-09-2011 7:25pm

Ugh, have you ever won with AA pre flop?? I have, countless times.

Ive lost many times with AA pre flop at live games, does this mean the tables i was playing at had bogey dealers?

People really need to look up the definition of random, "bad beats" happen, they are part of the game. You will always get bad beats offline or online. In my experience, peoples definitions of bad beats, aren't even usually bad beats, they are just stupid.

Trick is to accept it and move on, there is no mysterious force working against you, there is no heckling big wig sitting behind the scenes overseeing games and dishing out bad beats at the click of a button.

Poker companies make money off you enjoying the game and playing poker, not having you being pissed off. Unfortunately they cant control your paranoia, that's your own problem.

paddy power, nothing, i didnt start this thread. its play tech software isnt it?

as i said, with regard to the pyschological side of continuesly losing to ''bad beats'' instead of a better player gives lesser players false hope. No?

just to be clear i gave up playing poker online years ago. im no good at it. hold'em, rubbish, omaha great craic drove me nuts.

i understand how companys make money from it, bottom line is they dont care who wins the pot as long as they get their cut. where i differ with you is, they dont make money off your enjoyment of it, they make money off your continues custom. one way of keeping you hooked on it( which pretty much goes on all forms of gambling) is making you think its not your fault you lost the hand but the cards.

on a side note, this is a discussion board, people can have differing views, post their own thoughts, right or wrong, you dont have to all have to be sheep.

i can confirm mdwexford is an expert, so can i, me too.

all this brown nosing, sounds like a school yard,

nix · 28-09-2011 11:11pm

I gave him a thanks for his use of the word donkified, it made me giggle..

In answer to your question, i dont play poker either, its too slow and requires more patience and time than i care to donate. I have worked for poker companies, stemming over numerous networks for many years. I dont anymore as the work is soul destroying, mainly cause i had to deal with idiot claims like this day in day out, from the same players. Trust me, if there was truth to it, id love to say its rigged

But its not

So ive had access to players rake, hands dealt etc, i understand the paranoid logic in that poker companies screw over the little fellas to keep the big rakers happy, but most of the players complaining are the big rakers. Most of their bad beat claims are just stupid calls/mistakes, most of these paranoid players think they are good, which is the annoying thing, because you have to keep them happy, you cant give them the sure answer to their BS query, which is "YOUR JUST SHIT AT POKER MATE"

You have to just reassure them the truth about the software, its random, which it is, the software needs to be tested over thousands upon thousands of hands to prove otherwise, which it is by independent bodies. If the software was "rigged" it would have been proven long ago..

If you think its rigged and not rewarding in any way, then just stop. Those that dont and keep playing, know they are talking bull**** and just use it as a form of venting/denial to protect their precious ego, which is child like to say the least.

Well your post was pretty stupid so you should expect reponses like that.

I dont know what defines an expert but i have played about 700k hands which are all stored in a database and there are no patterns of anything being amiss. I have made a profit in each of the past four years.

What do you mean we can go to pms and you live in wex, are you looking for a date or a fight or something?

Also the above brown nosing as you call it was joking, obviously.

Similar as in i play about 30-50 hours per month and have made an ok amount in the last few years.

It went well thanks, im back in shape now and am awesome at football again, not sure what "a fat" is.

Stalking my previous posts is a bit creepy by the way weirdo but whatever floats your boat i guess.

Zacharyswan · 08-11-2011 6:17pm

I agree, I have been playing for quiet some time now and PP tends to favor the lesser cards. I've had AA, AK, AQ etc stolen on the river so many times it's Fn unreal and within the same game. It can't be random, I have actually started running with lower, ****e cards myself and it works out I fill more often than not. I suspect some PP employees are posting here :mad:

Zacharyswan · 08-11-2011 6:21pm

I am not saying PP is fixing them, I am saying the software is crap, looks to me liek it picks players randomly for a win rather than the actual hands, anyhow it's a real pain being beaten more often on good cards than bad/rubbish cards, hows that realistic poker!
