Yesterday I tried the first deposit bonus at a well known pokeroom and casino. It is also accredited in casinomeister. I dont know how many hands I played, as when I tried to check out my hand history, it was almost unreadable. However judging from the promotion points I earned, and considering I played at 0.15-0.30$ no limit, I guess I played about 120 hands in which I placed bets in the pot: Again the same story of ripoff.
Now, it was a mistake of mine that as an evidence of cheating, I had ended up into observing the number of how many of my strong hands win, over the number of how many of them lose. As I saw yesterday, and remembered from all my play in the other casinos, I had quite a few very strong flop hands in which everybody else folded even at preflop, but I lost almost all of my money when I was holding a three of a kind and a flush, but the other ONE opponent got something better. Examples, I had Q8diamonds, I got the flush with the ace of diamonds on the table, but the other one had the king of diamonds (everyone else had folded at the preflop I think). Another case: I had three of a kind, but the other one had a straight on the turn. Another case: I had three of the kind but the other one had a flush at the river with only three of the same suit on the table (and he betted big even at the flop) Another case: I had ace king, I flopped a king, but the other having KJ got a J at the turn and made two pairs. Many more same cases happened, in less than 120 hands that I followed betting or initiated betting at the flop. Oh, I had two full houses and other strong hands and everyone folded, even at preflop.
So they let your strong hands win quite a few times, so that their statistics seem ok, but you win nothing on them. This way, you cannot prove that you were cheated, as one can claim that you just win small when you win and lose big when you lose, and so you lost only because you are a crap player. But I bet my life that the best poker player of the world would had lost if played in my place.
Threes of the kind, staights and flushes, two pairs, and even top pairs at the flop coming from the best 20% of preflop cards, are bound to produce profit, instead of big losses, even in a low sample of 100 draws, no matter how bad player one is. Because EVEN the 20% of the preflop hands have a very high expected value WHEN PLAYED BY AN AVERAGE PLAYER (see Link Removed ( Old/Invalid) ). Imagine then how high the expected value is, of these preflop hands (WHEN PLAYED BY AN AVERAGE PLAYER) when they succeed in getting a top pair (or even better, e.g. three of a kind) at the flop.
The expected value then is so high, that the variance of poker cannot be the reason for losing a very large bankroll playing with pennies. I have played thousands of hands in other casinos. It cannot happen only to me that I have strong hands when the others have stronger. Sometimes at least, it must also happen to others that they have strong hands when I have stronger. But it almost never happens to another, whereas it almost always happens to me.
And the losses because of the rake and the post blinds were negligible compared to that of crushing of my very strong hands.
Perhaps I will purchase Pokertracker and let the casinos know this before I play again. Perhaps if I warn them beforehand that I am ready to post or give out everywhere the results of my play, will make them think twice before they cheat me again. And if they do cheat me, I am prepared to lose some money to ruin their reputation by giving out the results. I am checking now to see if the analysis of pokertracker is in anyway cabaple of finding the type of cheating I met.
Some members rushed quickly to give me bad reputation points giving various reasons, but they are affiliates trying to close my mouth. I dont think the rest of the 800 people reading my thread were annoyed by my writings. They also try to degrade my arguments, but my arguments are not directed to stupid people. And clever people will suspect the intention of these members.
