I'm seeing things! (AGAIN and AGAIN) Online Poker...

OK.. I can't be the only one seeing things like this..

(Me and this other dude get into some action - and just like always


"for the "ACTION" effect I suppose"

We both HIT!) (Boy oh BOY! Are we ever LUCKY!)

This happens all the time...

This happens too much!

I for one! Can do without all the ACTION every hand... Can we please get a REAL DEAL.. Some boring hands - Some hands that HOLD all the way! (more often).. Cmon!

(calm down Tom)

but waite! (final table!) Blue SCREEN! (Remember -I always tell you about the LUCKY "HOT SEAT!" Well Big Stack here has it! He raises my BB - and BOOM! The two of us are heads up! The two of us !!! "HIT!"

He just hits a little better... I have him crushed.. but this means little online!
Hand after hand.. Same sorta outcomes.. DEEP IN THE FIELD... but not the BIG paydays.

DOES THIS SORTA THING HAPPEN TO YOU TOO?

I think it might! (hey - visit The XFILESPOKER FORUM and sign up at the forum - TELL US what YOU SEE!)

Sure, I take the hand down.. but IS this "real" POKER? TWO PAIR FOR HIM! A nice "J" on the river for me? (BOTH players hitting EVERY HAND?) "ALL-IN" PLAYERS - TAKING HANDS DOWN? Two J's in the DECK - and BAM! Like MAGIC! I hit it!

Sure.. OK! You say! Tom! Chill! - You're hitting the cash! I should be happy right! But How come this happens every game/every hand worth anything? They try to sell this off to me and ALL ROUNDERS as "RANDOM"?

How come I always end up late in the game and find myself holding the 32 and 23 off in the Small and BB's...

and also! How come I find myself getting AA KK JJ etc.. AK , AQ like mad early and then go card dead when it COUNTS.

Then.. When I do STAY alive - The hands are always whacked! When I'm heads up! BOTH players hit the boards! Pretty hard too! Just that one or the other spikes the BIG card.

Hell - I'll stop!

Just look at the images!

Then look at past GAMES of mine here!


They just about ALL end the same! Same type of hands - Players hitting 3 of a kind like "3 of a kind" is going out of style..

OH! Tonight I watched the BIG STACK take three hands down in a row and HE ended up getting three of a kind BACK TO BACK... The other player HAD him in a BAD spot! But we all know HAVING the lead in a hand early on ONLINE - is a no no and a prescription for POKER DEATH

Ok! I'll shut up!

Take a look of pictures - DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE? Look at my last hand too! (Up against the BIG STACK GUY in this story!) Wow! This guy sure did draw the LUCKY seat!

Just PAY me MY money! (Nobody gives a shit anyways!)

POKER DEATH, "4" screens at a time...

I want to believe that online is the same as live when it comes to being RANDOM.

I just plain can not do it. Night after night..

I came up with the biggest annoyance I have with the online sites that I play..

The FLUSH flop(s)

The flush flops happen a little too often.. in my mind. THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY.
When they come - they have attached to them TIGHT gapped cards.. (Straight possibilities)

Now that in itself - just about drives you plumb mad.. When it's EVERY HAND..

But - LOOK. Remember, I want to believe.

I have a friend that says - PLAY MORE at same time.. 4+ games at a time. So I do that last night..

SAME OUTCOME for me. Instead of being crushed by dumb moves (players) every major hand.. on one screen .. They got me on ALL "4".

It could happen right?

Every hand.... Wild "ACTION" and more than enough "POSSIBILITIES" of DANGER.. to make your head spin. Every turn - showing the CARD that will beat you..

NOT - "MIGHT" beat you... (It's the only card your opponents need) Delivered on a dish - like an ICE CREAM SUNDAY.

Where is the MATH and %'s when it comes to these players HITTING these cards like MAGIC?

That's what it is.. "MAGIC"

PEOPLE! Poker can at times be a boring GAME.. (just not when you are playing ONLINE POKER)

Last night.. I had about 15 flops - where I carried the lead on the flop - (with two of the cards suited to a FLUSH - a FLUSH that I did not hold.) 13 times.. The Flush card hit the turn... (I have to ask.. DID WE SOMEHOW - "LOSE" the other three suites in the DECK?????) I ask because - by math, they should NOT BE HITTING AS MUCH.

Every other board - should not be HITTING Flush draws and having TIGHT GAPS...

Of course - YOU'RE saying.. THEY DO HAPPEN! It's POKER.

I agree.. I just do not think it's proper %'s and math to see it as much is all...

No matter what night.. What site (so far).. I am faced with screens of POKER DEATH.

Something is WRONG.

IF you disagree... HOW About taking your side of the DEBATE over at http:xfilespoker.com (joining the forum)

I really am very close to walking away from ALL online play - (except with small games with friends once or twice a week)

I see no point to ALWAYS LOSE.. to play the game and NEVER be allowed to TRAP another player.. to never "decide" when it's right.. against the right player - to SLOW PLAY... Doing any of these things online - WILL get you that CRUSHING low % card to hit..

The card that gives your opponents THAT dream card.. EVERY HAND.

What do you think?
