    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:
    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!

    I'm not mad about onlin poker also, but even in live poker it happens. Just last night, my AQ was beaten with A9, my QQ beaten with 88 all pre-flop all'in.

    There are not such a thing as bad/rubbish cards, the cards is a very small part of the game in total.

    If you have nothing to say best not say it Juls! Fn AH...

    My point is the software is just not up to matching a real game yet!
    I am well aware of how hands work....but since you guys are more into one liners rather than debate.....blow me!

    Watttt, the entire game is effectively a RANDOM(52) function call.
    Computers and software have been able to do this successfully since about 1956.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,917 ✭✭✭nix


    Nah its fixed and I'm basing that on absolutely nothing..

    Well that's as maybe, but where online poker is concerned, they are not doing it.

    Actually computers have always struggled with precise random number generation


    and earlier hand example AA v 72 rainbow, 72 wins 12% of the time, if the 72 is suited the 16.5% - which is a 6/1 shot in a 2 horse race

    AA is the best pocket pair but by no means a certainty every time

    All we can find are idiots waffling on like you are without any actual "evidence", since it soooo easy to find, why don't you provide some credible sources?

    You're not going too? I wonder why that is.... :rolleyes:

    16.5% = 165/1000
    165 = ~ 1/6 * 1000


    83.5% = 835/1000
    835 = ~ 5/6 * 1000

    83.5 : 16.5 = ~5 : 1 = 5/1

    (5.06/1)

    If you are going to most something smart at least make sure you are right.

    16.5% is roughly 1 time in every 6 (1 in every 6.0600)
    That means its a 5/1 shot, not a 6/1 shot.

    1 time in 2 is an even money shot or 1/1, it isn't 2/1


    This has to be one of the owrst threads on the forum.

    The poster make a smart comment about it being 6.06/1
    His whole point was wrong. He doesn't understand odds.

    Mine was a typo. Quite common really. I am actually aware how to spell worst.

    If you can't see the difference then its not surprising you have trouble keeping you balance while sitting in the chair.

    Yes typos are common - even happened to me once, but when you are having a go at the content quality of others posts then at least ensure you own is up to standard

    If I was having a go at the spelling, then my own typo would of been quite ironic.
    But I referred to the fact that the "correction" was completely wrong. So I don't think it's all that funny. A bit unfortunate.

    You forgot the R in YOUR above. Again not massively funny, just unfortunate given the post it's in.

    No, that's all i could find when i went looking for "proof that online poker is rigged", it just highlights my point that you're talking out your ass and YOU haven't got a clue what you're talking about with your claims.

    And yet again you prevail in failing to support your claims, /golfclap

    That picture is not valid nuxx - how can twiceasright have won 24000 from previous pot when the blinds and ante combine to at least 34000

    I doubt its validity either but not for the reason you have stated, twiceasright was the sb in the last hand so he obv raised , bb folded and he thus won the bb + 4 antes which equals 24,000


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,696 ✭✭✭mark renton

    so your saying the chips twiceasright has put in are not included in the win?

    then in that case the win should be 23,000 - no?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,097 ✭✭✭✭zuroph


    You’ve got to be kidding me. I’ve been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It’s just common sense


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,631 ✭✭✭✭Hank Scorpio

    That wouldn't of happened, the pot would of been bigger had SB of raised.

    He was BB last hand. It was folded to him, so 10,000 was refunded (the extra in for the BB over the SB), the pot was 4 x 1000 antes, SB's 10,000 and his match of SBs amount = 24,000

    As above, he was BB.
    Antes are also separate to blinds so they would of counted.


    Its a fake. But not for those reasons.

    It doesn't make sense; it's a bit like someone who doesn't believe in leprechauns spending his time looking for leprechauns.

    To prove how wrong you are, thought that was obvious...

    Again, you're making claims that are based on nothing and can't prove otherwise, take a hike wang broom..

    Ipoker is generally bad for giving bad beats. I think it is more suited for tournament players more than cash game players. You should try and change network like go and play with ladbrokes or stars or something


  • Users Awaiting Email Confirmation Posts: 250 ✭✭DuPLeX


    I pLaaaaaaaaaaa y paddddy power a lot and I've found that I get more Beats on good cards with live games ,I Cant see why they would rig it ? I would be more likely to beattt any of you online than I would in a live game .Go figure ,

    (Extra letters for the anals ) :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2 jammyBastrad


    I played poker on paddy power poker and it was the worst site on the planet for badbeats . if you lost 300 in 1 week give it up. You could go to your local casino spent 25euro to enter a real texas holdem game with an honest chance of winning good money. Take no notice of these assholes talking about forums or other internet poker ****e. Plus you get a great nite out and meet some great real people. It is a little nerve racking at first but after a few weeks its some crack. Stick to 2 nights a week max for first 12months and you will enjoy more. Best of luck.
