Good or Bad? Any experiences?

I just plaid a $3 SnG. I had KK got called by QQ JJ and 10-10 pre-flop.

Played a $5, saw AA vs KK pre flop, then two hands later, I get dealt KK and lose to AA.

This all happened in about an hour.

Any body else have an experience like this there?

love it..so many gamblers from the sportsbook come in and play poker not having a clue. This will lead to more bad beats because the average player is worse, but in the longrun it pays off nicely

badbeat1015 · Oct 18, 2009

I'm not talking bad beats. Anyone would shove AA vs KK. Or vice versa. I'm talking about problems with the RNG, as their appears to be here......

Poker is a bitch rigged or not. Id give it a lil while and see what happens.. Hell i played a live game last night where at 1 point 3 hands in a row were won by trip 7's. I flopped a straight with 2 spades on the board. Got 4 callers when i bet...they all 3 stayed to the river, which was ofcourse a spade. They all 3 had 2 spades. 1 had A high, another K high and the 3rd was trying to hit the straight flush.
Any of this happened online and id be ranting and raving this morning.

Tough break PPP. I've been playing there for a while, it's not that bad compared to a lot of other places I've played. Seems pretty even, and not too many bad beats. No problems with the RNGs and I really don't see too many luck boxes going deep in tourneys. I play small stakes. Been able to make a deep run in a few $6 and $10 MTTs lately.

ProPokerPlayer · Nov 12, 2009

Yea me too, but for F'n crumbs. Hands like that 1 are whats keeping me from making any money ...
Played the Omaha last night. i have a A high club draw after a KQ3 flop, i ck and guy next to me shoves a small stack , another large stack calls and then this huge stack before me calls...What the hell? im not folding....the 1st guy had a set of K's, 2nd guy had the J high flush draw and the 3rd guy? set of f'n 3's....how the hell do u get deep in a tourny calling 2 allins in front of you with bottom set????? Naturally i made my flush.....with the 3 on the river...
Crumbs again...3.5 hours to win $18 bucks. This is every night every site for the last 4 months....im puking hourly.

It is rough when you get deep in these tours and only come out with about 3 or 4x your buy-in. The Double Up SnGs are pretty easy money there too if you can avoid the idiots. I'm playing the $3 Turbo right now. Made a good run last night, going to see if I can finish in the $ again.

bigdaveyt · Nov 13, 2009

Sportsbook (Cake Network) is a great place to play poker IMO. I've been playing there since Party Poker was banned from the US. The RNG is just as bad as any other site and you should learn to use it to your advantage. I've recently started playing tournaments there and have had a lot of success. It is honestly as easy as playing AA KK QQ only. So many donks who call stack off with AQ to your AK. The biggest thing is just being patient. I typically play 10-17% of hands throughout a tournament.

Another good thing about Sportsbook (not Cake) is that they have some of their own cash tables. Right now they are running an NFL special where you can play on their tables and collect FPPs that register you in a weekly NFL $12.5K tournament (need 100 FPPs, cumulates each week) and a monthly NFL $50K tournament (need 500, cumulates throughout entire month). It is very easy to qualify for these tournaments and the competition at the cash games is weak because they email market to the NFL sports bettors about this tournament, who then decide to try some poker (as mentioned above).

Finally, the cashouts are lightning speed compared to how they used to be. I used the bank wire option and cashed out on Monday and recieved my money today (even though Wednesday was a bank holiday).

badbeat1015 · Nov 13, 2009

Interesting, I don't play much of the ring games over there, I usually play strictly tournaments.

Sikwitit · Nov 16, 2009

I played in sbg globals poker room same skin. I ran into the same deal i turned $45 into 360 in a couple days and you could just notice it was bad run after bad run after bad run id reccomend pstars or some other site. Sites like these i feel you can win with anything therefore these sportsbettors come in going all in with shit and you end up loosing because of their poor play

badbeat1015 · Nov 20, 2009

I just won a satellite there, got myself into the $77 10K Bounty. Hope I can finish in the money, that would be a nice payday for me, I play small stakes.

badbeat1015 · Nov 20, 2009

Made the $$. Picked up $120 and some change. Turned a $10 satty into $120. Very pleased. Think I'm gonna' take some time off now.

badbeat1015 · Nov 22, 2009

So......

I picked up a finish in a sattelite into the 100K Guaranteed. When it all started, about 140K in the prize pool. About 20 hands in, get dealt aces. Raise it PF big, someone comes over the top for all my chips. All in.

AA vs KK

You guys know the rest.

Deleting the software, not going back. I'm out.

ProPokerPlayer · Nov 23, 2009

O i know all right.....This is what ive seen all day...at 3 different sites. Stars i played a 200 pt satty to win $10...maybe 39 hands and i won like 15...got every pair above 10/10 twice and flopped a boat with AJ. Took the $10 and entered 2 $3 SNG and finished 4th in both when called with nothing and hit the nuts.
Went to Cake...played a $5000 freeroll, same thing...1st 3 levels i won every hand, then folded 23os for the next 4 levels and won $25...went to O8b, 1st hand i played i have A234ds , get all in vs J38K and he hits everything and i lose all $20

Go to AB...play a 2000 pt satty for a $120 seat...most rigged tourny i ever played...they gave me every hand and i won the seat with no problem. Got in the tourny, never saw a fucking hand, finaly got to like 8000 with 100 to the money . Got a stupid SOB playing every fucking hand. he limps, i shove on him AQ vs K4...Flop QK4 and im out.
I did p/u 1 bounty though so i have 10 bucks...i go to a $2 SNG and here is what i get with 4 left....

Every site is rigged and if today doesnt prove it i dont know what possibly could....ck this out..on the bubble...Look wat this fucker calls with and look at wat he gets....any 2 will do in rigged poker...

It's rough sailing out there PPP. Really rough.Hope it turns around soon. Losing that 100K Gauranteed pot made me scream out loud. ACES 20 hands in, in literally the biggest tournament I've ever played online. And boom. Gone. Makes it hard to go back.
