What rooms, and what do you mean even out cards, like preventing someone from winning losing too much?

sleung · Jun 22, 2008

yes

my buddy says the rooms will even out the cards to lesser player after a while as a way to not pay out as much to the better players

as for rooms I'm told that Pokerstars is very good and on the up and up but i dont know if i should mention the bad rooms

You ever play at Absolute Poker?

I never thought if that but it seems everytime i start building my bankroll i cant avoid getting sucked out on everytime. And then once i lose I get right back up and the same thing happens.

actually Absolute is rumored to be the worst

plus they had that scandle 1 year ago where a tech guy from there put in a script to see the other players cards while playing

within months he won 250K and was finally caught but the question is if he was their chief tech guy was this script around or did he make it

Then how can you explain the numbers? There are websites that track everything from SNG's to MTT's to Cash Games. If this were the case everyone would be even. However the numbers show plenty of people way up and plenty way down.
