But unless I saw the actual software algorithm I don't believe its completely "random"
There's a business at stake. Poker is cut-throat. I'm sure there's a small edge in the software somewhere.
There is, it is called rake.
The site makes rake no matter who wins.
Rake is how the site makes money.
People pay rake to play the game. The site takes in this rake.
It really aint that complicated.

Since I'm never going to go broke with my BR management, I gotta keep playing.
Just as I'm typing this my QQ loses to 45 pre. What a surprise. Dude will probably make the WSOP now and win it.
What type of reply do you ever expect from this?
Play 45 more often then if you think that is how the pattern mapper works and plot the results.

"winning" is not hard since 90% of these players are horrible.

Let your mom, sister or grandma play and you'll see how bad poker wins more than it should.
So bad players lose a ton? No wait, they win a ton?
I wish riggedologists would at least make up their mind which rigged belief to stick with and be consistent.

I'd play out of your comfort zone a couple times and try a higher stake. You have to keep in mind that any knuckle head can buy a gift card and make a minimum deposit and play a 5-20 dollar tournament. If your a serious player, not like the donkey's that think JQ off is gold b/c "they're drawing to a straight preflop" you might find your better then what you think.
FYI, when I play on stars or FTP, my friends would live in the 6 dollar sngs. I felt more comfortable playing 27 dollar sngs(and was more successful) with only 100 dollars in my account then I did playing 6 dollar sngs all day. Too many donkeys are able to pay 6 dollars for a sng...you find donkeys anywhere you play, however less is better...I don't know your situation and I don't doubt how you feel, but b4 you give up try playing with players that match your skill level....
Cliff Notes: He is suggesting you find better players to play against at an uncomfortable buy in level instead of playing against bad players at a level within your bankroll.
You may want to get a second opinion about this approach.
Good luck.
