Fin Joke

[Rude]

Just played a 6-Man tourny, and it was down to the last 2.
Now ive seen some weird hands, but this Heads Up takes the fin cake.

The guy must have won 6 or 7 Must Wins on the F'In River to Stay alive.
You guess it .. I ended up getting 2nd, after having a 6 to 1 chip lead.

The last hand takes the cake. Guys got 3 fin outs and hits it. Not surprised as he had hit all 6 ALL INs looking for the miracle card before.

Fuc Stars and its never ending river cards.

Guy had almost an 8-to-1 chip lead on you with suited connectors. You had Ax and he also had an open-ended straight draw. I guess if he hit a q or 7 you'd be pissed too.
He probably figured he was live for two under cards, a straight, and a flush. Can't blame him for making the call there, sorry.

yeah...i read through that hand detail and was thinking which part is the Fin joke?

Jokerstars has been brutal to me lately...$11 heads up...about the 3rd hand

I get KK....I raise PF 3x, opp re-raises 3x, I go all in ... opp the same.

He turns over 2 and 4 of clubs....flop is 442....WTF

sooooo frustrating

 

[Rude]

My bad, I should have listed the last 5 hands before that, when I called with BS and got nothing, or should I say was not lucky.

It just get's me the rate that I lose when having the better hand. Granted best hand does not always win, but the frequency of someone hitting on the river is just to great at this place. Seems to happen in the majority of the tournaments I play.

Get my money in with the best hand, and end up being 50%50% to win.
Doesnt sound right to me.

Ahh well ...

he only has about $8 left so i put him all in, he calls with his excellant K10!!!!

the very next hand.....i get AKs. I know they will think im on tilt so i dont raise. 1 guy bets $3, they all fold ,i call.
Flop...xAx, i say hell with this im not getting sucked out on again. now i only got about $20 left after the last hand so I SHOVE...the douche calls me with 99.........Turn...........9 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I say hell with this im going to the boat...i get in the 4/8 limit game.1st off i fold 63 straight hands ...63!!!!!!!!!! The 1st hand i won i was all-in and i bought in for $175 !
So i win a few more and im rolling along. I get KK. Flop comes J4J and 1 of the blinds bets and everybody folds. he might have a J i guess but for $4 ill see the turn. Turn J ! He bets again..well know theres 3 J's on the board the odds he has the case are way lower than the pot is offering so i call. River is 4 and he bets again. I call, smelling fish now and he has......J4!!!!!!!!!!

Wow those last 2 are horrible. I swear it seems like they pick who is going to win and it doesnt matter what cards that person has they will get whatever they need.
It feels like anytime u have to get all-in PF or even just know you will be going to the river 2 jokers are a 70-30 dog to any 2 cards the other player has..

 

[ProPokerPlayer]

I'll never forget 1 of the 1st episodes of high stakes poker.. Doyle is sitting their eating a huge samich and somebody raised all-in on his blind. He puts his samwich down tells the guy "you'll know better next time " , flips over AA and grabs a towel to start wiping his hands so he dont get mustard on the big pile of chips he's about to drag in. And im thinking WTF!!!!!!!.........HAVE YOU EVER PLAYED AT STARS????? How could he be so calm and confident he was going to win as to even say that before the 1st flop card was dealt??????? I have a minor stroke everytime somebody calls and i have AA or any other frickin hand for that matter!!!!!
Now maybe the money wouldnt mean shit to him if he did lose but just from the looks of things his AA has held up A WHOLE HELLUVA LOT more times than mine have.......

Just curious, PPP. Do you still think that internet poker is on the up-and-up?

Did i ever??.....lol Glad you asked cus i recently came across something while reading about the UB scandal that caught my eye. It didnt however catch anybody elses so i guess we will never know what was meant by it. But in the course of the ivestigation at 2+2 they came across some guys who actually built UB's software back before it opened. They posted 1 of the guys resume'..In that resume it says he worked and developed the software for their HIGH STAKES games ..Now that didnt catch anybodys eye but y would he make that differance? Y would their be a differance? Why would the software care if the hand was a .01/.02 game are a $20/$40?

So now in my always seeing a way to get screwed mind i expand even further. Ive always said that the bigger buy in tournys play different than the low, and ofcourse its because of that very reason, they are low buy in. OR is it??? DOES the site use different software in the low stakes games to get them over faster, direct the money into the hands of who they want it to go to, etc?
Who knows or ever will.......I play with what i can afford to lose and during those rare weeks where the cards are falling my way/ they turn off the doomswitch, whatever, i will play my ass off till they turn it back on again.......:toast:

I have always thought about that too.

I made reference to the Millions Dollar Sat's at stars. Don't see them around now, but I always thought things looks fishy.

$3+Rebuy Sat to the Million that started like 2 hours before the main. It would have some 500-800 people and it would always finish in time.

Don't know about you but that doesnt seem right to me ?

Watch any of the Sat's that are before the main's and no matter how many players are in it, it always finishes in time. The # of BAD BEATS is a f'in joke.

If I had to put money on it, I would say the software is set up for what type of tourny it is. Low Stakes, High Stakes, Re-buys. The cards seem to always be different. Not to mention Limit Hold'em vs Tournaments.

Like your example above with Doyle, whenever I have AA or KK even after the flop comes, ive never 100% unless I have the nuts. The miracle runner, runner or 3 outs on the river to lose always seem to hit when I'm playing.

Rigged or not .... untill I hear/see an indepedant Auditor check the software on a yearly basis ... no one will ever be able to convince me it 100% Legit.

That is truly unbelievable. How could an obvious non sequitur like that be overlooked, especially at a site that specializes in poker like 2+2.

The only conclusion one can draw is the one you did.
