Also, while I’m ranting, the site’s card generation is not consistent. Now, of course, the card generation is going to be different when it comes to how many players are sitting at a table. However, the card generation should be the same for every table with the same amount of players.
In one 9 player tourney, the card generation seem to be fair and consistent. I was receiving a generation of good cards and bad cards, and getting pocket pairs about every 15-20 hands or so, and getting a fair share of premium cards.
Now, I go and play in a different 9 player tourney , where the stakes are higher, and the card generation was extremely conservative in its dealing. For ten straight hands or more, I received mostly rags. At first, I thought maybe it was just me being agitated and overly sensitive because I had garbage hands. But that want the case. It was a pattern.
The 9 player low stake tourneys are/were more liberating with its card generation, giving me a fair shot at winning. But at a 9 player high stake game, the card generation would be totally different.
That’s a major problem. Card generation should not change at any table with the same amount of players. That means algorithms are set differently for different tourneys and different games.
That would be like going to a casino where one dealer deals differently than the other, when the job of both dealers is to deal the cards as they come. They can’t make one table’s card dealing more open than the others, unless the amount of players change. And that’s more about the players than the dealing.
