If you're here to defend the network, please see my above mentioned posts and issues with The Beast for micros players, deposit bonuses for micros players, lower winrates here, more regs at every table than on any other site on earth, etc, and address them accordingly.
I'm not defending the network, I was answering your question.

The facts you point out are precisely why these things are such an issue. Our options are extremely limited and if you're a micros player looking to build a roll on WPN through cash games, you can pretty much forget about it. It's just not going to happen. Right off the bat, 99% of the players will never put up a winrate that's large enough to beat the rake. They're simply never going to be able to build a roll. Do you have any idea (I think you do...even better than me) how easy it is to build a roll on the other sites? 2nl and 5nl are a joke. Why is it SOOOO much harder here? lol.
Because of what I just ****ing said in my previous post that you said was me defending the site: They don't have anonymous tables and they pay out quickly. That makes them the most attractive site for formerly winning players who quit playing full time after Black Friday but still like to play poker.

What I'm explaining to you about the tables opening and closing and those same players just getting slammed by the flop over and over is true.
Again,
prove it. If these players are getting dealt great hands all the time on the flop, you'll have evidence of it in your database. Show the stats you have on them that show they're winning some obscene amount. It's what everyone's been waiting for you to do.

I'm not just making this up.
No one's ever said you're making things up, just that you're wrong about your conclusions. Poker, and randomness in general, aren't things humans are instictually good at. Our brains are wired by evolution to look for patterns, even ones that aren't there, to explain why things happen. In your case, your brain has spotted a "low runout" pattern that you've latched onto as evidence that a site isn't dealing cards fairly, for example.
Becoming a better player involves learning to ignore these false patterns so you can focus on actual leaks you have, not just convincing yourself that "Well, I win on 3 other softer sites, so I must have no leaks". You play 5NL, that on its own means your game is full of leaks.

I'm going to start recording these sessions so people who haven't even played poker online yet can see what kind of difficulty level we're talking about here and so that people can clearly see what can only be explained by collusion.
Or how about you post the relevant stats so that other people playing the same games as you can be on the lookout for known colluders?
