Surely on the flop you might not have been able to fold but on the river even the 3 hits so he has a pair. Maybe this is why you keep losing and not because of Hungarians.

Thank you for my best laugh today

It is easy to see you are a loser in poker & in life too. It is clear from your posts that you...

[1] have a [] fear/ [] hatred/ [] disdain [check relevant boxes] for those who aren't of your ilk

and

[2] blame your disappointments on those about you while never looking at yourself in the mirror. In your entitled world view it is never you.

I predict that if you have a spouse & a dog they'll both be eloping with the butcher shortly. Sad sack.

Can someone further explore the idea that (i) a subsidiary (wholly owned I think) of a Canadian company that was previously owned by an Israeli, (ii) private Hungarian citizens and residents and (iii) private Polish citizens and residents are engaging in a conspiracy to steal wealth from Western European countries and transfer it to Eastern European countries by rigging $15 buy-in poker tournaments? Maybe a documentary?

America's card room is the biggest donk site I have ever seen. Bad beat after bad beat. Idiot donks raising 7,3 off suit and I push with A Q and these donks win every time. AA goes against 6, 2 and they hit the straight. lol... time and time again. I get bad beats, but this program is the worst. They love the donks

I've seen an early draft of Boris Johnson's election manifesto and it begins with the words "As prime minister, I will make Britain great again by making it illegal for hands with 34% equity to suck out when you limp with AKs 10bb deep".

If only there were some way to use this information to make money or something. Gee whiz, wouldn't that be something?

If a guy as smart as you can't figure it out though there must not be.

Quite right, too.

Don't people realise that the rigging of this type of poker hand costs the UK £350 million a week.

(About tree fiddy hundred million.)

Hmm, I've never actually heard Doug Polk talk before. As normal, when I've only seen the face or heard the voice, the other wasn't what I pictured/made up hearing (?)

Also, that picture in the background and exactly how it is placed, at first I thought he had some weird dreadlock ponytail for some reason. Then I realized it was a painting in the background. Anyone else?

I also didn't know we needed a video in April of 2016 to tell us that AK is not some weak "drawing hand" and is actually a very strong hand. I wish we were still at the point where probably (but maybe somewhat arguably) the best HU NLH player in the world teaching that AK is a strong hand would be new.

Thank you. I try. For the amount of words in that post, it actually took me a while to post (like 5 minutes or so I think). I did think through it and change it around a couple times to try to make it good.

But if someone would actually follow through on it, that would be great. It would be a good story for sure.

LOL, I played the hand to perfection. I got that Polish moron to put all his stack in with Q3, only for stars to come to the rescue of eastern European players everywhere. This **** is exactly why we voted out of the EU, to get away from these thieving cheating parasites and the companies that support them.

IMO, Stars would ban Hungarians and Polish from the site if they had an ounce of integrity left. The theft from players like myself has gone on far too long.

So incredibly lame to troll this thread, especially with multiple accounts.

I only troll with this single account!!

I doubt anyone thought this Riverfold guy or whatever was an actual riggie as opposed to a returning banned whiner/troll (you guys should just list their past accounts when they do this). Kind of a slow time for good/genuine riggies.

I'm pretty sure everyone knew though.

I just wasn't sure who it was. But, was it the guy who used to be all about it being rigged for the Russians? I was guessing that. Everything looked like that, but it was just changed to Poles and Hungarians. (which itself is a clue of course .. all in eastern europe)

PocketQueens2, RiggedStars99, etc. Basically, pretty much the worst of the troll accounts we get in here.

Banned his regular account for a week this time.

I am sure he will continue to deny that grinder4all is his regular account...

When he gets back he can update whether he has working plumbing or not!

I had to post this to get some thoughts from others.

Playing 1/2 NL on Bovada. How to cope with this sort of stuff.

Have KK and opponent has 88 after back and forth raise, everything goes in pre-flop. Of course he spikes an 8 on the flop. Brush it off and move on.

Have AA and two others pushing and everything goes in pre-flop. One has JJ, so you can at least justify to a degree his call. Other has JTs. What?? Of course JTs draws out a flush. If he had seen the flop and there were two clubs already, maybe I could understand but this was all in pre-flop.

Next one, I have KK, back and forth ends up all in pre-flop. Dude has 88 and spikes an 8 on the flop??? WTF?? That's twice in one day that my KK gets outdrawn by pocket 8s.

I understand the math and that most of you will say, I'll take that all day. They can't always suck out. But for real, it's like I get dealt KK or even AA and my shoulders just slump and I think, "Here comes the bull**** again".

How do you deal with this stuff? Part of me thinks just avoid going all in pre-flop and fold the big pairs of you have to, but the math wouldn't support that...

The largest increase in revenue a poker site can manipulate without causing player concern , is , and always has been ; set ups , bad beats and competitive hands.
To think sites haven't got a say in how many of these hands are placed randomly per 100 is simplistic idealism .
RIGGED IN FAVOUR OF THE SITE : YES 100%

Well the answer is obviously folding your pairs on the river. If you can't lay it down on the river you will always lose. Maybe with the 88 I can understand because it is hard to make three of a kind but with the JT it is an easy fold when there are three clubs on the board and your opponent bets.

In all three situations everything was all in pre-flop so how do you fold on the river??
