It seems that the game prioritizes those who do not know how to play

Lately I have seen many people playing completely carelessly, for example, going all-in one after the other with investigated cards in hand, paying raises with 4 and 9 off, and sometimes I have the impression that the platforms' algorithms favor this type of amateur player and harm those who study and play more safely and consistently.
I know that in the long term, this type of player doesn't win anything, while the one who plays the most certain ends up winning consistently. But like that, it's frustrating a lot of times.
Does anyone else have that impression?
 
You figured out the system. Now you just need to begin putting in a lot chips with bad hands, and you are sure to win!

Probably wont work that little hack since the system already flagged him as someone who "studies hard and plays consistently."

So when I recently started playing on GG Poker, the system instantly knew, I was a winning player on other sites? And thats why it put the doom switch on me right out of the gate instead of letting me start with a sunrun to get me hooked? That explains everything.... 🤣🤣🤣

It is natural to think that the game favors certain players, but that is not the case; poker is designed to benefit those who study and prepare. I used to think that the poker rooms favored those who made deposits, but clearly, that is not how it works.

I agree, but you'll notice that those same people start to be eliminated later in the same tournament for those same plays.

This is because bad players win with luck. Good players win without luck. So when you see bad players playing carelessly and win, you think that these players can't keep wining with luck, but the truth is that it's really the only way that they can win.

Let's take a hand and run the river twice.

Hero: AKo
Villain: 94s (clubs)

Flop: K47 rainbow (1 club)
Turn: 2 (clubs)

River 1: T (clubs) ~ dumb Villain back doors a flush! Super lucky.
River 2: A (spades) ~ hero rivers 2-pair, but not lucky because he doesn't need the river, top-top K was good enough.

So most of the time, the better player is not considered lucky, even though the luck is dealt out evenly. So it looks like Competent Player is never lucky and Bum Fish is always lucky. The truth is that the luck evens out but Competent Player needs that luck far less, so he's never considered lucky.

Any site that allows full downloads of hand histories HAS to have legit random deals, otherwise someone would run a couple of million hands through a cruncher routine and spot the anomalies and expose the site and the site would get caught and lose millions.

And even sites, that dont allow this, are exposed to data mining. GG Poker only allow download on 10k hands at a time, and no more than 3 month old. But allegedly there are sites out there, where you can buy millions of mined GG poker hands.
