live is just as rigged as online, ;)

Played in an mtt today at delaware park, 43 entrants, this is live, so probably less hands dealt than a similar online tournament. First off, i finished 4th for 250 bucks (75 buyin), 5 were itm. Ok, now for the crazy hands. My first big break came when i get 33 and guy with AA decides to min raise, i flop a 3, he's out. Once down to ft, ss was allin at least 4 times and dominated, every time they won. I shove 88, get called by JJ, flop an 8. My knock out hand, i get KJs, aggressive big stack shoves, i call, he has K9o, flops a 9, I turn flush draw, gut shot, and J would still win it for me, i miss all 15 outs. They are just the ones i remember, there were plenty A 10 < JQ type hands. Anyway, my pt is bad beats happen everywhere, but i am happy with 4th place money.

Anybody who says there isn't as much bs live has obviously never played any volume live.

Its all relative. I dealt poker for 10yrs, and saw plenty of crazy shit, not as much nonsense as you see online, but cards are cards

Agreeed pimp not as much live as online.. But there is some, best place to play is live just not as much runner runner madnesss online is so bs at times (all times)

how isthat even possible LOL......stupidooo!!!!

its only rigged when you lose....when you win it cant possibly be rigged right? LMAO

Needless to say, I didn't get out of work early today to come down and play in the tournament haha

nice job on the 4th place finish. It's poker i say.online to me a litle more fishy than live. I always do better live than online. just wish i could play more often

no matter where you play ,theres always a cooler deck waiting for you.

yes always a cold deck for any poker player! even good players get cold.

its the great players who over come those times and not tilt and complain about them....good days are ahead!

nice 1 madone i bet the cash out was quick too lol

this made me LOL, thanks for the chuckle poto

one of these days im gonna buy a super users account on pokerstars with my Po points.

LOL! That's true, if there's cheating going on, it's not happening while I'm winning. Nice work on 4th place though.

live poker is sooo much better then online. You can get ALOT more reads then online and not as many willing to play any 2 for fear of being a laughing stock. I played 4 to 5 nights a week for 3 years and you do not see the bs you will see online plain and simple. yes bad beats happen live but i could play 4 or 5 nights a week and not see in them nights what i will see in 1 sng online. 100 hands is 100 hands regardless of how quick you get there...

Well i think this was true few years ago, at least where i play there are plenty of players playing crap. I saw lots of 5X and 6X bb preflop raises and guys calling with crap like 5 9s and calling post flop bets chasing gut shots or flushes, hitting on river, other guys just say "nice hand" , lol. I remember the 5 9s hand cause guy raising and betting had a suited A (same suit as the 5 9) and they both had the flush draw on flop and guy hits runner runner for str, river being the A , so he got paid on river, guy with A just said "nice hand, i could never put you on a 5".

nice payout for you but every game different live or online

bad beats happen live but not as frequent as they do online is all I ever said. I have been on the receiving end of both :)

but how is that rigged, there was bad play, you ere able to catch up with a set twcie, ss go all in all the time, he got there so e it. proof there is no rigged game, just mindless players that arent considering all levels of play.

congrats on the cash, man. and, yeah, you get some crazy stuff live too. I played a small tourney (about 45) in AC - did not make the cash because of one hand. I raised 4 bb preflop with AK suited, got called. Flopped was KK7, so I bet pot with my trip kings, got called. Turn paired the 7, so now I had a boat, so bet pot again, other guy went all in, I called. He had J7 suited, so showed the smaller boat. Hit the case 7 on the river. Fckin-A.

uhhh, look up sarcasm in dictionary mike, ;)

nobody's rigged, just bad luck

Although I was playin live once and hit the bad beat, cards face up on the turn, only to be counterfitted on the river. needless to say i was crushed
