it's poker, sh*t just happens i guess..
It's just part of the game. Sometimes in your favor, sometimes not.

it would be nice it the suckouts were some where near the odds LOL but its online for ya!nothing you can do about it but fight thru it!
yup sucked out yet again. love that carbon
It really does seem like suckouts happen more often on carbon then any other site!
I do get the feel that the river is a beast on Carbon... but I don't know how much of that is poker and how much is seeing a vast amount of hands.
Listen I have seen hundreds of thousands of hands online and I have seen nothing like the crap I have seen dealt on the Merge Network since Black Friday took away real online poker 2 yrs ago. But listen, Merge is an equal opportunity suck out supplier. We have all gotten nipped by some crazy bullshit but we have all been the reciever of some special suckout magic that only MERGE'S 65 card deck can provide.
I agree. It's a very fair unfair system.Quote:

A good player will be sucked out on more than a bad player, and a bad player will suck out more. Because, a good player will get the money in when they have the best of it. The problem with merge is that the players are so bad, they just call.....all the time. It gets ridiculous.
I'm not trying to be rude, I know how frustrating poker can be. However I have never played at a site that people didn't say was the worst at being sucked out on. I once played the same tourney 2 days in a row at Binions in Vegas, day 1 was dealt AA first hand, raised 4 times BB, player behind me goes all-in with 10-10 and I call. Ten on the river and I'm busted. Second day I'm dealt AA first hand again! Once again I raise 4 times the BB, get re-raised all in by a player behind me, I call the player turns over 10-10, turn is another 10 and for the second day in a row I went out first hand with AA being busted by 10-10. I then came back and cashed every day that week after that. I can't guarantee the RNGs are dealing square, but I cannot say that I have seen anything at Carbon that I haven't experienced live.

It happens, just lots of push and pray online...gotta love the donkathon!
Just got blasted out of carbon $35 tourney....All in pre flop KK get snap called by KQoff and J4 suited diamonds. diamonds flushed out for the J4???????early blind levels, i had more than starting chip stack. Playing smart poker stinks when a donkey (rondo1958) calls for no reason
correction...ronjo1958:mad:
twocardcadet siad it all, plain and simple. carbon and and all the merge skins seems to have ALL the most terrible non-playing fool idiot fish ever assembled in one bowl. You gotta give a newbie some slack,as he doesent know what is good play, and what is bad. But players with 3 gold stars are an indication that he has been there awhile. And play just as bad or worse than a newbie.Many players see 3 gold stars on a box, and automatically assume "that player must be good" LOL, it means that player paid a lot of rake. The only defense against a 'play every hand player' is patiently wait on the fish, get the nuts, and bust his azz. He'll call anything,remember.
So the solution is play more and count on donk players to pay you off in the long run. In it to win it! UPDATE ronjo1958 did not make the $! :o
Have not seen it as bad recently. When I first started there it was amazing the amount of suckouts.
I really have run pretty badly on Carbon TBH. It obviously is just variance. I can't wait to start running absurdly over ev.
