I think CAKE flipped the switch on me

[CHOPTALK]

When I first started there I was ranked one of the top players on the whole site for SNGs but they must have pulled the plug on me.

I can almost predict the cards before they land depending on what the other player needs.


I know all about variance but you would just have to see it to believe it.

I waited a whole year to see if it was just a bad run and its not.

The type of cards that hit at cake are much different then what you see at PS and FT.

I am going to sit them out for about 6 months. The only reason I am not quiting there 100% is because the former head man at PS just took over. Maybe he will change it up.

But im waiting a good 6 months until then.

just look at my sharkscope at that place from mt everest down to hell with no inbetween.

Tonight I was in a 6player SNG top 2 paid.
There are 9k chips in the whole tourney each player starts with 1500.

We were down to 3 player I had 8400 of the 9000 chips between me and 2 other players.

I had 8400 and the other 2 had 400 and 200.

I said to myself surely I will cash this baby.

Words cannot describe what happened after that.

Somehow I finished 3rd!
It was unreal.

Same here.....i final tabled like 7 out of 10 Mtts when i started there....Took a withdrawal and didnt see the 2nd break for a month and havent won a penny since....

I lost more while Lee Jones was at Stars then anywhere anytime so that doesnt impress me much...

Never had a good feeling for Cake. A lot of eastern europeans and limited game selection.

I had 7 bucks left so tonight I went 5to the 7.5k $5 rebuy,

did not even have enough money for one rebuy or any addons, but I wanted to zero my balance so I can uninstal this shit from my computer.

Well I went on a huge run and was in 3rd place in the whole tourney at one point we were 4 or 5 spots to the money and I was the chip leader of the table so I could put out anyone at the table right before the payout structure which is a very powerfull position.

Well I was in early position knowing my power that I had over the rest of the table with only 4 spots to the money so I was playing loose.

I went all in with 77 as I was the first one in the pot. NOw we have all been playing for almost 2 hours now and we were literally only 2 or 3 hands away from the money.

I get called by the 2nd most healthy stack at the table with 8J OFFSUIT!!!

now granted I had a real loose table imaige the last 7 or 8 mins of the tourney right before the bubble and everyone knew I was pushing my weight around.

But still even if YOU know I was stone cold bluffing you never call a big stacks allin with garbage if you are only 3 or 4 away from ITM

The only way that could happens is if the person that called me knew they were going to win the hand.


Well that hand knocked me way down because that player was only about 8K chips less then me.

At that point I did not give a fuck.

I still ended up making the money 2 or 3 hands later A whole 18 bucks.

I went allin every hand after that hand just so I could get eliminated.

Then I took my 18 bucks went to the first cash table I could find and went allin every hand till someone was ready to accept my donation


Im though with that
goodbye CAKE

Chop.

I can not think of a logical reason for someone at that point to call his tourney life that close to the money with J/8 off.

If he was short stacked and almost blinded in whatever, but 2nd largest stack at table on the bubble....WTF

I experienced the misfortune to have played on UB during while the super users were raping the high stakes cash games. Enough bull shit went on and the pros who used tracking software were unable to uncover some amazing win rates for certain users. The investigation gained steam and led to UB admitting that for years people with high level access to hole card information were cheating the games. They spun it to lay blame on the former owners and software designers, but I can't believe 10's of millions of dollars were moved off of their site without their involvemont.

People enjoy the fact that Cake does not work with tracking software, and allows users to change names. These 2 features make it easier to carry out a UB style super user fraud.

Make a complaint to poker room security and see what they say.


I DO NOT HAVE PROOF THAT ANYTHING UNDERHANDED IS GOING ON AT CAKE, BUT HAVING PLAYED THERE, I CHOOSE NOT TO. THAT GOES FOR UB ALSO.

glad i read these posts - i was thinking of signing up for cake because of the lack of tracking software - but why allow name changing - if there is no tracking software?? the only way the ub and AP scandal got cracked is because hand histories were reviewed - with no tracking software and name changing - there is no way to track a potential cheater.

poker stars has more funny boards than any place else i have seen - so if lee jones is involved with cake then i will never even try it.

stars has a rep for having software that generates large pots - e.g. trips on flop, flush on turn, boat on river

i went on some great runs at cake and some horrible ones. seemed a little too much variance.
