Default Party Poker Questions

Has anyone else noticed strange things at party poker?

Since i withdrew money from my account my past 1500 or so hands have been discraceful and full of bad beats. Every decent hand i get is always beaten no matter what it is.

My full houses get beaten by 4 of a kind. My 3ok gets beaten by full houses and so on. I have all my hand logs for the past week and have just emailed party poker. I know poker is a fair bit of luck aswell as good play but damn i've never know so many bad beats in such a short time. Its happening that often its becoming predictable.

Racingnovice,

Have just joined, will keep an eye out. However i am not as brave as you as i don't play for real money - don't trust computer dealer, prefer to see the sneaky SOB in the flesh!

No money involved - why worry?

There is money involved. I just emailed party poker with a demand for answers. I can understand bad beats every now and then but every hand and always the first hand played comon? It's happened for over a week now.

Sorry, i thought you had withdrawn all your money. In that case i don't know what to say. Hows about playing with "Play Money" for a while to see if there is any change in your fortunes. I don't doubt what you are saying, it's just i find it hard to believe they would be so obviously stupid.

It's just bad luck. Because there has been a bad run in the past doesn't mean the next 20 hands or whatever will give you a good run. What has happened in the pasr does not count.

Hi HILLBILLY,

Don't get me wrong i am not referring to any particular time i have lost, bad beat etc. Just an observation made from an article that was written is all.

All this talk about rigged games etc!

It's simple really, you don't go all in unless you know your hand is UNBEATABLE - especially with real money!

There is always a chance that someone will have a better hand than you, especially with a full table, and especially if your hand is not UNBEATABLE.

You can try your luck with a very good hand when the odds are in your favour, but you have to be prepared to be beaten.

Every example listed by the thread starter was an example of a beatable hand.

The odds of being beaten are increased because of the number of players holding cards at an online table.

This is exactly the reason why I only play with a maximum of four other players.

It increases the chances of a strong hand winning, but I can lose unless my hand is unbeatable.

I've seen the bluffers come and go, they get away with it a few times, but ultimately they cop it from someone with a better hand. I'll let a bluffer get the best of me for a few hands, and then bankrupt them when I have an unbeatable hand
