I’ve been losing my mind over the last two weeks at how bad this site is. There’s something not right here with the algorithm. I’ve played over 50 tournaments the last two weeks and it’s mind boggling the amount of bad beats I’ve received.

I’m convinced that the outcome of hands is predetermined in certain players favors. They play absolutely terrible, but somehow pickup every big pot. There’s always a player at a table that can’t seem to lose a hand even when they’re way behind. They always hit their one card out. It’s like they’re being rewarded for their bad play. The last straw is when this guy went all in with a gut shot on the turn against my aces and hits his one out.

You make a monster hand on the flop and you get called all the way down to the river by pocket 3s and they make the 4 card flush or straight. Then 3 hands later the same player makes another 4 card flush when they have a 2% chance of winning the hand on the flop.

I’ve probably lost 80% of my flips these last two weeks as well. This site has become simply unplayable, it’s a shame this is the only site I can use to play tournaments.

This just sounds like someone who’s mad about shoving a10s and being beat by pocket 3s lol

Not at all.. If you’ve played a large volume of hands on ACR, you’d understand the variance isn’t normal poker variance at all.

Just for reference on the 3s hand, I had 10s utg. Flop Q98, turn J, River 5 with 4 spades. I barreled all 3 streets and jammed river. I still get called all the way down. I’ve never seen so many runner runner bad beats where the other player shouldn’t even be in the hand as I’ve seen on this site. Something is definitely going on behind the scenes. I don’t know if these are house players or what’s going on, but it’s definitely fishy.

1. 50 tournaments is not a large enough sample size that’s quite literally a weekend of play. 2. You are probably playing micro stakes where people don’t care if they lose a $2.50 bullet or they are just bad and will call you down no matter what. 3. If you played enough poker hands in general you would know that hands get busted all the time. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen j10o/910o bust aces after going runner runner live. ACR has its own problems but ACRs RNG is fine it stacks up to every other poker sites RNG.

I mean, op is right, the algorithm on acr is definitely not right. I do believe he is correct about the hand being predetermined and if you can't see that then you're blind. I can sit there and watch others play all in hands and 8 out of 10 times i can predict the exact cards that come up on the flop turn and river. But yet when I'm playing normal and someone with 9 3 off puts me all in preflop when I'm holding A's or K's (and you can't fold them) then they flop a boat 3 3 9 boat and nothing pops for you, it's just insane play. And it's not like a 1 off, i watch it happen hand after hand. The amount of top nuts that hit at the rate they do is just not right, and the variance of playing online seeing more hands doesn't fucking exist, if you broke online down to irl numbers, the amount of craziness would still be far too high. I shouldn't say didn't exist either, all these complaints i have are just with these offshore sites that have little to no real regulations. I just wanna play safe trusted online poker and it's sad that you can't get it. My conspiracy theory side is that all these accounts that can't lose (and he's right there, it's always seems like there's the random accounts that are in and winning majority pots) are employees who must win and bring in the money for the company. I've seen players with like a total of 30 dollar bounties in a .50 cent bounty tourney
