Do you believe online poker is not random?

Playing both on-line and in some live games, I have had some bad-beats in both situations, I have also been the player making the lucky break and beating better hands from sucking out on the River, it happens, just as often either way.
You have to accept they can and do happen more often than you would believe, and get over them, sure you can wait for A/A coming around but will still be blinded out waiting for them, and in some situations you have to call an all-in from players even though you might have an inferior hand, but the math tells you that you should be calling.
Most on-line sites I have tried all seem to be pretty random when I have played and yes sometimes I have lost to inferior hands when I go all-in with a huge pocket pair and they call with an 8/5 and smash A/A or K/K, but when you look at the stack size of the players involved, he was right to call with a lousy 8/5 and being in a similar situation I would have made the same call.
Poker is not an exact science and sometimes you have to be lucky, there is no guarantee that because you are starting the hand with the best two cards in the deck that they are going to win on the River, if it was that easy then every time you play A/A they should win, but they don't! Because that is not how Poker works.
Likewise most on-line sites are random because it is repeated over and over again in the same situations.

When the fun Stops, STOP!

That is what i think about. How pokersite works. If cards on the flop and later on turn and river are predetermined or it's randomly choosen depends on how u play.
 
Hello, Everyone! 🙂 I believe, thar RNG of online Poker is random... :deal:
But, unfortunately, often is not in my profit...:joyman: That's all! That's the way things are...🙄
And Good Luck Everybody! :icon_sant
 
I believe that everything is ok in online poker, I have not heard that, for example, on pokerstars there were proven cases of incorrect operation of the random number generator.

Hello. I am concerned. It appears that ACR has an algorithm that eliminates players that bet against a larger bank. Especially toward breaks and toward the end of the MTT (final table). Does anyone feel the same?

Poker has it variances, in online play case it is bigger once we play more hands, maybe you shall be passing a downswing moment, however keep playing because it will surely pass, I´ve playing on PokerStars and trust me I hear the same complains and , sometimes, I catch myself complaining as well hehehehe, part of the game.
 
I think it’s random to the extent that everyone has a fair chance of being in the position of having the larger stack and then gaining the card advantage that does seem to happen. On stars yesterday for example I’d gone down from 60bb in a low limit cash game to 27bb. I was tilting as every hand seemed against me and to my amazement flopped KK and in my excitement of the possibility of regaining my stack shoved as the Bb only to have small blind who had 120 BBS and had 3bet beforehand call with pocket aces. But I also know I’ve been in the same situation where in a tourney I’ve been the larger stack shoved with KK against AA and flopped the K. I do tend to agree that lots of time we are looking for excuses as to not blame our bad play, when really it does come down to you can’t win all the time but you can make them wins that do come along count and that’s where balance management comes in to play.
 
Random!

SOMETIME looks like random but i dont thing it is if you thing its random your taking a risk!:icon_bigs
 
Random

Unlike most I have only deposited on one site. And it was only once. I don't have much faith in sites that Americans can play on.
I do suggest anyone playing online should track their cards. Numbers don't lie so gather that info and make informed decisions. Every site seems to have its glitches. I will disclose the site I prefer at another time.
 
I believe in glitches in the Matrix, therefore, randomness, rather than being a substantial chaotic outcome, is in fact a part of the game!

I think it is 100% random, the problem is that when one does not win or loses an All In with AA we get upset and start blaming the room, poker has a lot of variance and we have to fight against it.
 
If you don't believe they're fair, don't play there.

I haven't done too badly there, but I stopped playing there, because I didn't like doing triple toe loops, and double sit spins to get my winnings out.
 
Hi

There is the possibility that it is random or also somewhat tricky, since it does not suit the page to last a long time with a tournament, thus it seeks to eliminate the players faster by favoring the one with the most chips.
 
I have read many comments in which they say that the rooms do not benefit, in my point of view if they obtain a benefit. By eliminating small stacks and cleaning, the tournament ends faster and they can promote another tournament and this in turn is a benefit. They also do it to speed things up and not make the tournament so long and tedious. That's what I think

The fact that people even have to ask this question makes me feel like there is a reason for people to notice a difference. I noticed and picked up on it right away and changed my online vs live play. The fact I have to change my game just makes me feel like a computer can’t really simulate a real deck of cards.

Care to elaborate on the "difference" you noticed right away? And the deviations you choose to incorporate?

You don't 3bet AA preflop now ? 😱😱 🙂
 
im sure if you are more practice with GTO and improve day by daily in long run with correct decision you can make good profit on poker

OMG - is your ENTER KEY BROKEN?

#2 - I normally overlook misspellings because anyone can make a mistake, but you incorrectly use the word NO more than 5 times in your story - when you should use the word know. The word is spelled know - not no. Know means you know something, you have assumed knowledge about a topic, NO means opposite of yes.

#3. "i use too play on fleetstreet back 10 to 14 years ago if you got it in good ya never lost thats real poker."
BAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! When you get it in good - you NEVER LOSE - awesome - that site sounds rigged as hell.

#4 "then a week after that they closed my account down for complaining the week before about jamie staples"
They closed your account because you complained about a famous player not losing hands? That sounds wrong. Wrong as in - inaccurate or false, not wrong as in huh they did that - darn that is so wrong of them.

#5 The rest of your extremely poorly written story seems to be personal experiences, with a lot of assumptions, and absolutely no proof at all.
Cool theory though - I play my video games on hard mode all the time! 😎

So you postulate that the sites are doing this in SnGs and on demand events. What about scheduled tournaments? Tournaments that run every day at the same time? What incentive do they have to do this to tournaments that are not SnG or on demand?
