This may be nothing at all, and i'll be the first to say that i'm not good, and was only playing the micros. Pretty sure i wasn't being super used
I played there a pretty good amount in 2016, and at some point a lot of new accounts start popping up. I'm not doing so hot, so i started looking at who i was losing to, and it seemed to me that the battles that i had with the other regs were pretty standard, and looking at stats like "Vs opponent" the hands won/loss would be pretty even. Some guys might have an advantage by a bit and i would say definitely they were better than me. But overall those stats seemed in the ballpark of 50/50 or 60/40.
The new accounts i seemed to struggle against, and i'm sure some of that could be explained as decent players playing having accounts on other skins.
So i started marking everyone, looking at stats, screenshots, bought some HH's.
The other group that was killing me was these players that were very fishy types. That you should be mopping up, but it just doesn't go that way.
When i looked at "Vs opponent" against these type of players the hands won/loss would be more skewed. These players for some reason have a 3-1, 4-1, 5-1 advantage over me.
Maybe in the end it all evens out, and i was just on a bad run or sucked, or whatever.
Looking through my folder i have a bunch of screenshots where i had marked all the new accounts and used the buddy list feature in PT4 and looked at reports, and just tried to see who was winning and losing. just pulling a couple of screenshots up, Looking at top 15 winners 10/15 were new accounts, Top 20 losers 2/20 were new. Does that mean anything? Probably not, but it at least seemed odd.
I haven't played since that time due to health issues, but love the site, i may have been just having some bad luck or looking at it the wrong way or something but it left me feeling weird.
