To say I have been running bad for the past three months would be the understatement of the year for me
I have played more than 4 million hands online since 2008, and my BB/100 hovered around 1.8 (I average around 10K hands per week on poker stars, full tilt and party poker combined). If i take 100,000 hands at a time, my peak was around 11BB/100 when i was running hot, and maybe -2.4BB/100 when on bad runs
My BB/100 for the past 2 months has been a brutal -18.2/100 (and I am taking about 100,000. At the stakes I am playing that cost me around $14,500. My all in Equity for the same period is +$1,200!!
Maybe I was due for a run like this. But in the past 3 months i started noticing things I did not see before consistently happen, and I am talking about completely illogical plays that defy logic.
Plays that really felt like someone knew what the whole card were, or in the cases of all-in, knew what was coming.
I know this sounds like "Someone on bad run now thinks the game is rigged" kinda of scenario. But what if the game did actually become biased, I am not saying the sites are doing it, but what if people found a way to crack the RNG, or found some exploitable security glitch, or all these add-on softwares are feeding certain people the hands, or or or....
Everything written as a program is eventually exploitable and has a flaw. These fold and move on games are the perfect ground to exploit this
These were most evident in all-in situations.
The hand that did it
200NL Fastforward on PartyPoker
CO makes it $5 pre, I make it $15 with 5d4d from the BB, CO calls (very loose agro but not disastrous
Flop is Ad 8s 2d (flopped a Straight flush draw)
I bet $23 into $33pot, CO calls
Turn 7s
I bet $56 into $79 pot (played with this guy many times before and he never slow plays big hands, so thought I can get him off anything here), CO calls
River is Qh
I go All-in for $106 deciding to continue to represent AA or a least AQ
I get snap called with....
...
....
.....
wait for it
......
.......
6s5s
The 6 actually plays and I lose a $400 pot
I had to reply the hand on Poker Tracker at least 10 times to believe it
This was just the last hand in series of wierd plays
After that, I withdrew all the funds from my account
Purged my Poker Tracker DB, uninstalled all the software
Requested self exclusion from the sites (to ensure I don't go back again)
This game on these sites (especially the Zoom or Fastfoward) is no longer playable
I guess you can say maybe this was a mis-click, but its just too consistant to believe
I actually read that but the dumbest thing you did if you truly believe something fishy was happening is delete your database. All you have now is a cool story bro.

I mean, of course it could be a super user or something like that, but it also could be some random dude on tilt thinking "**** it, I call this dude with 6 high!".

I doubt it's the latter, don't think even the stupidest of whales on the tiltiest of tilts can do something like this. Could have been a well timed (badly timed for OP) misclick, though.
