poker action flop theory

Poker Action Flop Theory: Hands are deliberately set up by an online Poker room to handicap the best players and benefit the bad players. The theory behind action flops is quite simple. The Poker Action Flop is a flop that will encourage the good players to get very aggressive in a pot and then the new or bad player makes an unlikely river draw to suck out on the good player   what do you think

    Why does the poker non-action flop exist? You know, the ones where one player bets and the other one folds? Seems silly to allow these.

    Couple of questions. How does the poker action flop theory jump from the "action flop" to the " river draw"?
    Second question: who are "the best players?" And if they are the best, surely that means they are winning players?? Therefore you have invented a theory to solve a problem that doesn't exist.

    Awaiting your response so I can understand your theory better......

    I totally agree fella - problem I have though is I am a bad player and get sucked out on........ What is that all about? Think I should log a call with customer care to resolve the issue. 

    Unless...... Is this post related to the one about the ranking system? Maybe that is where the glitch is ;)

    Ps Jimmy Riddle was better ;)

    Correct Stu, it's on numerous sites, it was on The Hendon Mob as far back as 2006. (Just google "Poker Action Flop Theory").

    9 years later, nobody has produced a shred of credible evidence to support the theory.

    I used to think online poker was rigged too until i played live.

    Ps don't even play live, you will definitely be accusing the dealers of rigging the deck.

    In the real world of Texas Holdem tournament play, new and bad players are easily beaten by superior players. Most of them don't stand a chance to win in a live multi table no limit holdem tournament. They are  dead money.  In land based casino poker room NL Texas Holdem tournaments, the skilled players get most of their chips from the bad players as they knock them out. 

    So why is it different online? Action Flops!

    The Theory says that "ACTION FLOPS", those flops that bring big action to a hand and hurt the skilled players who are beaten by the river miracles. Online poker room owners know that in the general course of play, the highly skilled players would decimate the rest of the players. They need something to level the playing field or risk losing the majority of their players, and then the majority of their income.  The Action Flop theory says this is the way they do it, by having Action Flops during the course of play. The better skilled players are penalized by chip loses and the new or unskilled players are rewarded with chip gains, and thus are retained as customers.

    Could it be that "superior players" are in fact not superior, don't work at their game and prefer to complain about the RNG?
  • edited March 2015
    Sites do not need to generate action flops, the randomness and variance in Texas Holdem does it for them. Because it does this you use this as proof of the theory, which is of course nonsense. You might just as well say aliens abducted all the unicorns and use the fact that no one can show them a unicorn as proof of an alien landing. This theory an others like it have been around for a while now despite no shred of evidence supporting it, numerous investigations which concluded what happened was expected in the range of normal variance, and the fact that a site doing this would be quickly discovered closed down and bankrupted by the amount of claims against them. As this would be fraud anyone who worked for this site and knew would probably end up in prison, and all for no really good reason as they get their 10% whoever wins.
