That's not true at all. Remember you are playing a numbers generator here at Zynga. It's nothing at all like playing real Texas hold-em. The cards do not fall the same, I,ve actuall won twenty three hands in a row here on zynga. It just does not happen that way with a real deck of cards, so all the advice about don't give up and bank roll management is just another way of saying keep playing so eventually you will spend your money here.
They've even got rigtards on Zynga

In two days I have the most viewed thread in the history of Zynga BBV.
Think I should put in for some of that $1B IPO?
Probably going to hell. God I miss poker.
(and I remember the days when the "real" strat forums were not that far beyond where the Zynga forums are today...THIS IS OUR FUTURE, PEOPLE!!! the games most assuredly are not dead)

But i thought they were talking about real money, HSP (high stakes playmoney) is serious business.

Regardless. I am a god. Called it so it is true.
I can't tell if pfzapp is leveling or not, but I don't think he is...
Looks like he's looked me up. Good thing, 'cause I'm kind of a big deal around here.

See, here is the thing. The basic tennants of poker can be applied at all levels to some extent. In bigger stake cash games, it is almost NEVER correct to fold top pair even when you may be beat. Why? Because at the higher stakes (and even on occasion at mid stakes) players are learning to TRIPLE RANGE MERGE their holdings.
The only way to adapt to such a player is to be willing to call down very light. Against a player you suspect of triple range merging, top pair is the near nuts.
Now, I realize that at Zynga, you probably do not see much TRM, but I do assume that double range merging has overtaken Polorized Orphan Ranges as the standard line. Against a poloroized orphan range you can EASILY lay down TPTK, but that style of play is rather dated and you only see it at the micro stakes cash games.
The online game evolves quickly, and with many US players being shutout of the larger online cash games (for the time being), the games an Zynga are about to get infinately harder as the pros look for a place to practice new techniques.
What was successful yeserday probably won't be successful tomorrow, and the ONLY way to keep up is to stay one step ahead. You need to KNOW the new strategy not necessarily to apply it, but to know how to counter it when (not if) your opponents learn to adapt.
If the rumors are true and Phil Ivey is really working on a way to make playing a Reverse Polorized Range Merge profitable (I do not see how it could be, but never underestimate Phil), then the game will once again change. I shudder to think of the repurcussions.
Do you need to think of poker on this level to win at Zynga? Not today you don't, but wait until you see the influx of new talent that will be coming after the IPO. The time to start learning is now.
And, of course, I am ALWAYS up for a good HU4ROLLZ challenge, just as long as the stakes are intriguing
