Merge Network Unbelievable!!

[6wolfin9]

I don't make it a regular thing to whine, BUT I've been playing alot of tournys on merge network skins and I'm about ready to pull my hair out and check into the nearest nuthouse(lol). I've never seen sooo many unbelievable flops meaning four of a suit, or str8 runner runner or you just name it. I tell you if I were dealing in a live game and dealt the cards the way merge does I would get my *** kicked for stacking the deck. These poker sites tell us it's dealt in a mathmatical randomness of some sort or the prism effect. It's so frustrating to have say a set on the flop only to have another player suck out a runner runner str8 or flush. This has happened to me more times than I can count lately. I'm picking on Merge right now because that's the site I've been playing most recently, but it's really almost all the poker sites with a "few" exceptions like PokerStars and Full Tilt and FT has some pretty nasty flops sometimes. I'm definitly not the best poker player, but I'm not terrrible either. I get so tired of trying to play a "non-donk" game only to have some idiot calling and outdrawing me after a pre-flop raise with say 8 2 os (this actually happened he drew a fullhouse and I had pkt Js). Well I guess I've vented enough for right now, but I'm sure there's others out there that can relate with what I'm saying.

Thank you and sorry for making my first post a whiner, but you wouldn't believe the luck I've had on that skin. I even took 2 of the sites off my computer today lol.

I like Carbon. I've been playing there every day for three months and I've seen and suffer hands like you talk about, but I don't think that these hands occurs with more frequency that expected is just an impression.

it is one of the worst networks. i played on a few of there sites to try them but i will never go back..terrible sites...lousy interface and table layouts....us bans paradise poker and titan poker but these are allowed..brutal poker sites the only time it sucks to be an american, thank god for bodog

[royalflush525]

i would have to agree even though i like playing on there sites the truth is that the worst hand will win 65% of the time i know this but i still play there every day

The original post I can relate to. And impressions don't come in black in white

I've a limited corpus of hands to go on but its enough for patterrns to be analysed. Best hand looses majority of times,when the money is in the pot. Personally I could change my game to suit Carbon but I don't feel the need to, there are many other sites I'm more comfortable with.

carbon - one of the backbones of life itself. natural forms: graphite and diamond

One will poison you, the other will make you everyones' envy

I guess its either gonna be one or other of these for everyone... it does seem that way.

One thing to add to this thread is that we all obviously play online alot and since online tends to be way faster than real life play we are gonna see way more badbeats than what some might consider normal.

I NEVER got rivered so many times at one day!

some donk calls a preflop 2050 chips all-in with 65 off and hits trips on the river (blinds are at 50 )

aces cracked by kq off suit...

aq against aj j on the river.

but usually it's still one of the better ones you can find online
