FTP, Pokerstars, Party Poker (back in the day) etc, all work the same. Like I mentioned in an earlier post, I play on WSEX because you get 80% of your rake back (It was 100% at one point, but I guess they, now realize they can make money by constantly putting "action" cards on the flop)
Anyway, just playing this morning at a $25NL table, there's a guy to my right with $77 and change. So I'm figurign he's got the golden seat. Well I was right. I'm dealt absolute shit, for the 1st 17 hands. I don't play ONE of them. When I was in the blinds that guy on my left, constantly raised me out of the pot.
Well, I'm dealt KK one hand in the BB, I'm waiting for him to act, as he normally was. He just calls, so I raise 4 times the BB to $1, everyone folds, except the guy to my right. Flop comes K 3 Q rainbow. He checks, I bet the pot (thinking he may have J10 which ALWAYS seems to happen online) He instacalls my $2.50 bet, Next card is a 10 (now there are two clubs on the board) I over bet the pot betting $7. He instacalls again, now I'm scared he has AJ. River brings an 8 of clubs. He checks, I check because God only knows what he's got. Pot goes his way and he turns over FUCKING 39 OF CLUBS FOR A FLUSH????????? Right! I also watched this guy bust somebody with 27 of diamonds as he, again chased his flush to the river against someone who had AJ and hit 2 pair on the flop.
No matter how well you play, or what level you play, you'll see the inprobabilities are the probabilities in online poker, and it really sucks because I LOVE the game.
I'm not claiming, nor have I ever claimed, to be a professional, but I have a pretty dam good grasp on the game, betting techniques, and definitely ODDS and probabilities, that have made me money in live games. Yet, whenever I get to a certain point on line (it seems to be around $300 on WSEX) things like that beat, above happen ALL THE TIME.
They know there's no way I'm getting away from top set on the flop.
Just sat down at a freeroll, one hand I'm out. Dealt KK, as usual, there's always, at least one DONK, who pushes in their whole stack on the first hand, I call. They turn over J7, flop JJ374. Yep, no way is online poker fixed.
KKK777- I did an experiment, much like you did, although I only took 600 hands (200 at 3 tables, at different levels) almost the same results 24% flopped 3 suit, 15% flopped 4. 21% flopped 3 to a straight, 16%, 4 to a straight.
And whoever mentioned that if online poker sites didn't allow DONKS to catch their gutshot draws, and draw out flushes and straights on the river, they'd lose 90% of their business, you'd be 100% correct! And they KNOW IT TOO!
Just watched a guy get busted with KQ. Flop came Q67 turn 9, river 3. Was the guy that busted him holding 8 10? 45? 58? Nope. He was holding Q3 LOL and called a big preflop raise with it LMAO!
Gotta love online poker, it's like playing the lottery!
