Abusive/innapropriate? Report this post.

This is the 3rd time Ive tried to post this, so this time i will try and not get it removed..

Last night i played the Break Thru Tourney and made it to the last 2. Heads up.

1st place $80 2nd through to 15th all got $16

I had over 84,000 chips and my opponent had around 11,000, she had around 4 bb left i think!

I LOST

I came 2nd, Why, because i did not win a post flop hand, lost every all in, and i cant remember the amount of times she required a specific card and it came up on the river. I only won the times she folded and the occasional check through to the river but that was it.

I was a little peeved to say the least and it has left my questioning "Its the person you play not the cards" cause in this tourney no matter what i tried, playing tight, passive, aggressive, nothing worked., and to be honest it left me beyond dis heartened with the game as a whole

I wont go into anymore through fear of removal..

Take all the bad beats on this forum, put them into a heads up and hey presto that was me last night.

It was unbelievable, never in my life of poker have i seen anything like it....

My opponent did nothing out of the ordinary she just played

Any advice or feedback

Every1 gets bad beats, AA vs 52 and str8 comes and so on.
You just need to find your game or the way to play your game and get better over time, but no matter how good a player you are, there will be days like the 1 you just had, even at the worldseries.
And sure you play the person aswell as the cards.

Going through the same thing myself at the moment m8. Like you said if a player needs a certain card to hit thier hand then u can bet the river will supply it!
Had some sick beats which then sent me into an "I dont give a shit anymore" sessiion of suck outs.
What I would like is for the software which PKR uses to be independenty reviewed by someone who knows what they are talkin about.
I dont think PKR is rigged at all, but the beats are so consistent that the lack of randomness beggars belief.
This has me thinkin that the softW is a little flawed, for example.... take windows XP.. then look at Vista... the latest programing fell on its arse next to its predecessor XP.
The software used by PKR is said to be the latest but that doesnt necesarily mean the best.
What I have just said is not my belief set in stone but the mutterings of a sometimes paranoid stoner... but.... just coz yer paranoid does'nt mean thier not out to get you.
Dont hate me for saying these things PKR peeps. Its sensible to question everything in life, just look at the state of the economy. It went that way coz people didnt want ask or know.

Grrrrr tweaking!!!!! =0)

PS a good run in the $2000GTD would put my fears to bed for a long time!

PKR is licenced by the UK gambling commission and in order to get that licence their random number generator for the hands must be reviewed yearly by an independent company that is itself licenced by the Uk gambling commission to do so.

the above is happenin alot to me too.is cause u slow play and the software picks up on this some how when you have wiining hand?should you be aggressive and just take the pot and be happy ?or should you slow play and ALWAYS LOSE?

In response to the request for hand history, I'm using a iMac and I cant find a hand history anywhere, Sorry.

In response to baaldy, i was aggressive and tight, i tried everything but my opponent just always had the better hand, it was weird, really

When i was going through a bad patch i played 10c giveways about every night for a period of a 1-2 months and it always seemed all the momentum would be more with one player than the rest of the players at a particular table no matter how good/crap the players were - if they had connectors they would always make their straights, if they had suited cards they would always make their flush. Obviously with the amount of games I played I got to experience this eerie luck alot myself(which is why I would never complain, lol). I often used to believe that it was the nature of the 10c giveways and that there was maybe some sort of outside influence giving everyone a shot at consistently making hands in order for them to grow more fond of the game. I quote another member above and say probably just the ramblings of some paranoid stoner but my 2c anyway...

You are not going to believe this but Ive just been heads up in the break thru tourney AGAIN. And the same fcking thing happened as last time.

(read main thread)

Came second went in bigger stack an all in, he could have only won it with a jack and low and behold this turd site gives him a Jack.

I don't for a moment believe this site is rigged but ffs, twice in 2 heads up.

that may be me going to find alternative sites to play on.

Its beyond a joke !!!!!!!
