Anyone else notice a big difference in the variance at BetMGM Michigan? Unreal beats are becoming standard. This is happening with the same regularity now that has been typical at PokerStars Michigan for years (which is why I stopped playing there). I play in $5 and $10 tournaments. Yes, it's true that as more states join and there are more entrants per tourney, that more dummies will stay to the river, lessening the chances of the best starting cards chances of prevailing. But my pocket AA and pocket KK make me almost afraid to bet, now. Yesterday, I had pocket AA. I bet 2.5BB, driving everyone but the player to my left out. The flop came up A33 giving me AAA33. I checked. Other player bet half the pot. I was happy to call. 4th st came up Q. I checked again and other player goes all. Again, I was delighted to call with my remaining chips. He turned over his pair of threes. There's only one card that can beat me, now. And, of course...the 4th 3 comes up...wiping me out. I rebuy and am dealt KK. I go all. One player calls. Naturally, he has pocket AA. And I'm out of the tournament as I get no help. I've now come to expect this...which is why I play a lot less than I used to.
