Agree. Also, quality of play is much better online than live, and the live ones online play much faster. Also, in O/8, you can get pounded all day long and get well very quickly. Have a lot of experience with that, too. However, my WSOP experience just drew too many red flags. The best one was where someone 3 bet with something like Q853 into a 5 way pot and scooped. There were a few more like that.
My last adventure online was 2011-2013, most of that was heads up, to avoid the bots. Always felt that I was born 10 years too early for online, but I played in some great spots in the very beginning. To be successful playing online, it's probably more work than live, unless you're a heads up specialist. The games definitely got a lot tougher after Black Friday, that's for sure.
Thanks for the thoughts....
@bobo To be clear, never said WSOP was "rigged". That's ridiculous. However, their client is geriatric by today's standards, senior management at Caesars (or for that matter, 888) can't be relied upon to make upgrades, and I get the feeling that players are very much on their own there.
Again, when you're facing a result that's probably <1%, you have to look at all options, including your own quality of play, whether there are people scamming in the game, whether you're facing bots, or if there's a site vulnerability which is being exploited. This is what casinos do with high value players that are beating them.
While the old school Vegas guys wanted to know exactly what they were up against, the current generation, which are mostly AC guys with MBAs, don't care. They look at the w/l, and trust that you know what you're doing, and show you the door. This is particularly the case for machine players.
So, I took a look at the results, and how I got there, and concluded there's a possbility something it wrong, and left it at that.
Hopefully in 4-6 weeks this will become moot. It would have been nice to get a few more opinions on this, because I could very well be wrong, but we can't be pissing off the sponsors now, can we?
