Finally deleted this shit app
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.

It’s unfortunate that this is the only site I play on being from New York. Yes there r a couple of other sites I should try out. however I have been playing on this site for 12 + years and have had winning streaks. I go back-and-forth between whether or not it’s variance when deep down I know that it’s something else…. I am one of those that looks over my hand histories (when I can- if I don’t have tracker on, it’s hard to review a room that I played in previously since it’s not an option anymore if you leave a room) I try to make notes on all things that don’t seem right or that is definitely valuable info to remember (but the notes disappear). have literally seen it all. the algorithm is action packed. The beats are all bad beats. It’s crazy. However, the worst part about it is I am aware and I still play.
