Can't do it anymore

edited January 2012 in Area 51
This is nothing that hasn't been said before...........

Online poker is 100% fixed

It is pointless showing you the Hands as we have all had them but I've just walked into Monsters 6 times in a row and no one can convince me that it is not fixed and that's just a run of bad luck, nobody can be that unlucky JJ into KK, 666 into AAA on the flop, KK into AA and then lets not forget the ones you are well out in front and get SHAFTED on the turn or the river or better still Runner Runner.

In the last 3 weeks I've deposited around £550 on online poker and only played 5p-10p and a couple of times 10p-20p, that's well within the varients of a good Bankroll for that level, I play pretty tight and some would say very tight, playing between 15% - 20% of hands, with my hands if it's possible I bet 4 or 5 times big blind, if I catch on the flop I bet at least pot sized bets when I don't I bet slightly less, When I believe I'm in fron I bet big, get called get shafted by what some say miracle cards, I could handle Miracle cards but miracles are supposed to be a rare occurance.

I'm giving up online poker now as I believe it is fixed to the point of Stealing our hard earned cash and £550 is a fair chunk of cash to GIVE away because most of the time you don't even get any game time, 3 hands this morning first hand of each table I have JJ, KK & AA all cracked I can handle the JJ being cracked but the others getting cracked as often as they do by numpties that can't find the fold button and catch that miracle on the river is just mind boggling.

Anyone's thoughts would be appreciated

    good morning and happy x mas to start with. nivek first things first that is a bad run for sure but there must be some big big leaks in your game to lose 50 odd buy ins in 3 weeks. we all run bad from time to time  (ive had 30 in a mnth) but when you go back over hands a very big% will be down to your play.
    my suggestion would be to post some hands up in the clinic, dont post them up as "bad beats" and "woe me "posts, but do it in a constructive manor. there are plenty of people there that will help you. good luck sir and i hope you take any advice on board.   phil

    as pod 1 says when i first started i knew i had leeks in my game and still do, so the poker clinic is the perfect place for help, i know i moan ( a weee bit). but area 51 wouldn`t be same. i just whine and moan to give everyone a laugh. i never really take my beats seriously as i know what goes around comes around ( dam my secret`s out). merry xmas

    Thanks Phil, but To be Honest, I have to work far too hard for my money to simply give it away, I can't bring myself to deposit anymore, I know this may sound a little conceited but I don't believe there are anywhere near 50 buy in's of bad play, I could probably account for maybe at most 5% through tilting but that's it, I have never been a lucky person and don't believe that playing at those levels is much more than luck, and I certainly can't afford to go up levels to find out it is pretty much the system than the players that are wrong althogh this example is all about the player

    Tell me if there is a leak in this, My stack is £75, on a 10p- 20p table, I have 99 on the button, there are 3 limpers before me, I raise to £1.50, 1 caller on the BB, he has £90 in his stack, 777 comes on the flop, I bet the pot which is £3.70 thinking don't go overboard he may have a bigger pocket pair, He Calls, a 9 comes down on the turn, Now I hope he has a bigger pair, I Check hopefully he's going to bet, he does £10 I re-raise to £20 he goes all in, I call a 4 comes down on the river, and he has 7 4 off suit with a 7.5 x the BB pre-flop raise and catches Quads

    So to be honest this is disgusting
     
    But again thanks for your input

    spornybol Thank you for that but I can't afford to wait for what comes around, goes around, I've done as much money as I'm going too, I stopped playing a few years back for the same reasons as i'm stopping now, I have not lost confidence in my game, I play a lot live (Locally) and do ok I've lost confidence in the Integrity of online poker (Simples)

    There are a lot of considerations to take account with regard to your results:

    The amount you have deposited is, to a large degree, irrelevent although that's not a sum of money that any recreational player would want to drop. The important figure is how much you've wagered in total (number of times you've turned this over) and the total number of hands you've played - if you're playing cash all of this can be pulled from the hand histories (just copy and paste the data into a spreadsheet). You can then determine the average bet per hand, the amount you're losing on hands you fold and the amount you win on the hands you contest. And then there's the effect of the rake - although it's always advertised as a %age of the pot (5% or 7.5%? can't recall), when you measure it as a %age of the PROFIT on your winning hands it's a great deal higher. From all of this you can determine your overall win/(loss) rate as a %age of the amount wagered.

    With my results, I also isolate the data on those hands where I've lost 50 big blinds or more and analyse what went on. In my own case, just half a percent of hands played (33/6,766) on the cash tables account for more than the total of all of my cash losses to date (around 20 Buy-ins, 2,000 BBs). Of these, I'm content that over 3/4 are just down to bad luck/variance (call it what you will) and I would play them exactly the same way again. I remember one instance where I lost out to a 45-1 draw on the river (oppo could only draw one card to take the pot after I'd shoved with everything in front of me after the turn - it happened).

    Now, having analysed my results, and my 20 Buy-Ins losses, at length have I drawn the conclusion that the site is rigged? No - I don't believe it is. The results from 6,766 doesn't prove anything.What it has done is to highlight to me the degree of variance in the game, together with the effect of the rake. As a result I don't play cash tables anymore - the variance effect on my meagre pile of pennies is too great. I now stick with the fixed fee DYMs which are fun and where a run of bad hands isn't going to be so grim £££s wise. If you buy in for £2.25, the most you can lose to a bad beat is £2.25.

    I don't usually hand out advice (I'm certainly not a skilled enough poker player to do so) but I would suggest analysing your hand histories in detail. If you're not too hot with spreadsheets, find a bright young student at the local sixth form college (preferably one studying maths) who can build you a spreadsheet for a few pints. Bearing in mind what you've already lost, £20 in beer is, I would suggest, a good investment in finding out what has gone wrong.

    Best wishes for Christmas and better cards in future.

    Will address 2 points

    You claim in opening post online poker is fixed, go to your hand example, how did Sky know the villian would call your raise with 74? If this is fixed surely they have fixed it in your favour as they knew 99 is playable

    Why are you raising 7.5 x ? The accepted norm is about 2.1 to 3 x this is a big overbet and smells of someone who doesnt want a call, in cash plenty will see a flop in these circumstances

    You bet the pot not going overboard as he may have a bigger pair, so again you were considering an overbet, the check raise is strong play and would get rid of him if he didnt have the nuts.

    you are very unlucky but I would look at your bet sizing, maybe take the time off from online play to watch a few videos or use a training site, plenty offer a free month, remember online is different to live especially cash poker, internet play is a lot looser

    He led out with a bluf and got (very) lucky - the odds of flopping a quad off of two odd cards are over 9,000-1. I've had it just once in almost a year of playing. You lost almost four Buy-Ins on one hand. All down to style of course, but with three of a kind on the board all of a sudden a FH doesn't look so great? Sometimes for the sake of good money management, it's better to throw a winning hand (you think) away rather than play it, even with the smallest window of risk. Exactly the same has happened to me before, and I now think twice about staying in a hand with a set on the board, regardless of what I'm holding - unless of course I'm holding the fourth card.

    One of the improvements to my game over the last twelve months or so is that when deciding whether to contest a hand or not I now consider both ways - what I stand to win if I play AND what I won't lose if I don't. It's made a big difference to my results.

    you say it isnt your play but, to lose £550 at (mostly) 5p/20p is 55 buy ins in 3 weeks. I play 2/4p and its the equvilent of me losing £220 quid in the same amount of time. To me that is utterly unfathomable.....either this is the worst of bad runs or there is something glaringly wrong in your approach.

    I would be interested to find out if any of the regular (including baggs and seagull) players on the site have ever lost 55 buy ins or more in 3 weeks or less??

    I also play at nl4 and nl8 where the play is very very loose at times, and to lose the equivalent would take some doing even though I am more recreational at the moment. The spreadsheet advice is very good. I use something similar which along with a few other things has helped me plug a number of leaks.
    Before that I had had some downswings of 20-30 BIs when nothing was going right. I posted hands in the clinic and took advice from the likes of Irishrover and Dohhhhhh (although some times it took a while to get through!) and this included taking a break. I don't know how good I am now (probably not very) but I am better than I was!

    But you must be doing some things right as you had £75 stack on nl20 table and then the guy got very lucky. Maybe if you get a BI or 2 up you stop? You might be losing value/profit if you do but at least your roll will move in the right direction. I did it for a bit until my confidence improved.

    good luck

    Having read the other posts on this thread, the best advice I can give you would be to post some of your hands in the Poker Clinic, and people will give feedback on whether you've played the hand badly or whether it is all just pure bad luck as you say.

    Also, have a look through your hand history. Everybody will get lucky or unlucky from time to time, but we all remember the times where we get a bad beat, and forget when we make an awful call and hit a 2 outer on the river. There'll almost certainly be a couple of hands there where you've got your money in behind and got lucky, it doesn't just happen to your opponents.

    I know this post probably sounds a lot like I'm saying "You're just a bad player", but that's not the case - it would be wrong for me to assume that having never seen you play before. However, to lose 55 buy-ins @ NL10 in 3 weeks is pretty unusual, and in most cases, that'd be down to a combination of both bad play and bad luck.

    Stick some hands up in the Poker Clinic, let people have a look at some of your hands, get feedback and see what you think - You've got nothing to lose by doing that, and whether you choose to continue playing on Sky afterwards, or not trust the software and play elsewhere, it will at least help improve your game, for free :)

    Its rigged for action and that hurts tight players 'cos the gamblers get there much more often than they should. You can still survive and make a little money but you have to modify your play and expect periods of continually being rivered by morons.
  • edited December 2011
    I once lost about 9 BI's in a week at NL10 and felt like giving up but 55 in 3 weeks, jesus, that is just crazy. 

    You mention you play pretty tight but that just can't be, for a tight player to lose that much just doesn't make sense, really think like others have said gotta post some hands in the clinic.

    The simple way to rig online poker is to change the sequence in which the cards are dealt AFTER the rng has done it's work. Hypothetically, if the player doesn't call then the sequence is not changed to 777 flop. No way would any of the poker sites actually rig the rng's because this is the only piece of the software that is regulated and tested. What happens after that is completely unregulated, untested and open to abuse.

    Think like this, You cannot see the dealer, you cannot see who you are playing, I watch many live games, only in a blue moon do the stats you quote come up in live play! So with 500 quid bankroll....thats just right for 20 quid live games!
    Provided, of course, if you can trust the dealer, and the players, in the live game you are playing!!!
    With 500 quid bankroll, id be playing smaller live games! Thats if you can justify getting to the casino or what ever venue, Take a tip from ( IAN FRAIZER ) " Id much rather play live poker, than online poker, i love the banter and the night out, bla bla bla"

    However, a couple of points I'd like to make, By no means am I a reckless player, (No fishing for me) I don't go looking for gutshots, I don't go looking for flush draws unless the pot odds are there to do so although the 4 -1 ratio certainly does not work for me and even when I price people out of doing the same they seem to always catch and I mean Always,I feel in cash games I'm simply and totally Luckless.

    Since all your posts which are very much appreciated I've taken the plunge and deposited my last deposit of a total of £10 and I really mean my last deposit, I've played 2 x 5p-10p cash games and kept it really simple only playing premium hands and tried not to over bet and folded to everything I felt was going the wrong way, I'm about £4 up in the cash games but what has really made a difference is I've started playing DYM's using the same theories as before, only playing premium hands and only having a go at the blinds when they get a bit high like more than a 5th of my stack, I've played about 8 and i've cashed in 7 one without playing a hand in a £5 DYM, so maybe DYM's are my forte, who Knows, Incidentally the one I lost was, I had KK on the big blind and 1 player pushed with JJ I called he caught a J on the river, so I suppose I can't get away from bad beats totally.

    I've got my LAST Deposit of £10 up to £52.18 and I'm very very happy with that, but to be honest I've not changed my game at all except maybe not overbetting which I don't really believe was a problem in the first place.

    Maybe see some of you guys at the Alea in Glasgow for the SPT if I can Qualify for it...........................

    Again Thank you all for trying to be both understanding and constructive

    In Response to Re: Can't do it anymore:
    In Response to Re: Can't do it anymore : The simple way to rig online poker is to change the sequence in which the cards are dealt AFTER the rng has done it's work. Hypothetically, if the player doesn't call then the sequence is not changed to 777 flop. No way would any of the poker sites actually rig the rng's because this is the only piece of the software that is regulated and tested. What happens after that is completely unregulated, untested and open to abuse.

    absolutely right seagull. until we get regulation of the whole game people will shout fix. and you cant blame them. if sky are manipulating results its because they can, they are not doing anything wrong as the law stands. so why not that's business.there is a big pot of money flowing round the site that belongs to the players. as a business sky needs to keep it flowing to enable them to get the maximum rake possible. they get this from the cash tables,the site is only as viable as the cash it holds on our behalf. their task is to keep as many people happy as possible, and the more they can get playing cash the better the rake flow for the site , that's good business. so until the law changes we play under these rules. don't get me wrong you can still be a winning player. i am but that does not stop the suspicion.IE this week i have gone out of the main and the mini twice with pocket AA. and the 3000 bh pocket AA again. yes use the clinic we all have leaks. but let the main cry be regulation that we can see and understand.

    Well whats ure opinion on the 'non regulation' of card distribution to the table ??

    Think this leaves a huge void on whether it 'CAN' or 'CANNOT' be rigged doesnt it ??
