really weird about games when playing regs only. I'm winning NL50 player on all other sites, but these games take the cake when you play regs. Weird call downs, weird random preflop calls with fishy hands and then somehow getting the nuts, while playing like nits 95% of the other time.
I don't ****ing know anymore what's going on in these games, but Winamax has softer NL400 games than this NL50 FF reg pool with all the action I've seen being taken place. No matter how much exploitable I play and how many notes I take on some of the regs, they will play perfectly most of the times.
I have a really weird feeling playing these games, something's off. Would love to hear opinions of others, before I burn more money.

I have been a 2+2 reader for as long as I have been in poker and just made a new account because I lost my old one a long time ago. I feel compelled to reply to these posts as I as well as several poker acquaintances of mine feel the same way. "Ladysharrow" said that it seems like a different game at times and this isn't the first time I heard it nor the second.
I have personally played 8 million hands of midstakes and higher online and experienced long downswings I thought wasn't possible. I have played various sketchy chinese app games where you always have to watch your back but I have still managed. However, during these 10+ years of poker I have not previously experienced something like what I have experienced over 200k hands in the partypoker fastforward games.
I quickly started to feel that the fastforward games on partypoker are very hard to beat. Perhaps with rakeback and finishing at top of the rakerace lists you can make a profit. The main reason for saying that the games are unbeatable is that there seem to be accounts that absolutely crush you. I know that you can do bad against certain players for a long time but this feels like something else entirely.
Extremely good/tough players. These accounts seem to have an insanely high aggression factor and whenever you call them down you are beat. You can play with them and will close to never win any significant pot against them. At showdown they are pretty much always higher. Weirdest part is whenever you nut up against these players their aggression seem to drop off.
Unbeatable recreationals. Accounts that look like recreationals but that you can barely win a pot against. Abnormally high aggression for being accounts that clearly resembles recreationals in most parts of their game. Reminds of the Extremely tough players group in that you are lower at every showdown and that they also seem to have decreasing aggression when you actually hit something against them.
I have had such amazing looking pools for months sometimes full of what I nowadays refer to as Unbeatable recreationals that I always end up getting absolutely crushed in.
There seem to be normal regs and recs too against whom you seem to be winning and losing pots to and feels like just normal poker.
The rig thoughts are real
