    On the idea of bad table chat.

    Ok getting a slagging from someone I don't know as it's just a game. I do know how chat can become abusive, personal and a few other things though.

    The you are rubbish at poker chat is about the worst out of the chats. Firstly, it's just nonsensical. If you can make a buck vs someone HU then go for it. Why people feel the need to rub anothers nose in it is something else.

    We all have egos, different personalities and reasons why we play the game.

    Stop posting these worthless screenshots, you div.

    lol, yes why waste my time as i said.... whatever i put up i cant prove they are consecutive so yes why would i go to lengths to put 458 together. No point in hand histories as it is only that one situation, that may only come up once in 20 games. I played many games without an all in preflop when they were short, as that situation is just one of many to end a game.

    i am not short of brain cells, you just requested it and i wasted my time obliging... i had no intention of putting anything up previously, did i now?

    at what point in my posts did i say heres the proof and start putting up screenshots! u asked!

    But why on earth would i start screenshotting this same situation in the first place, if i hadnt noticed a colossal amount to start doing it? Where did i pluck that from??

    So somewhere between samples from a very long term sample size if you had 1516 chips at 21.35 on 6.3.2020 and 1880 at 22.55 on 25.4.20 and back down to 1760 at 11.37 on 11.5.20. Almost seems like you are posting random hands from a random time period in an attempt to prove a non random thesis. Ie i always lose every consecutive hand. Fail.

    Sorry i thought you said that you lost 458 consecutive hands and these screenshots were part of your proof of that thesis.

    Am hopeless and I still keep losing money, I wonder how that is ?.
  • kapowblamzkapowblamz Member Posts: 1,579
    You can share the HH file from 888 and then someone can actually filter for exactly the type of hand you say you lost consecutively. It's actually pretty simple to find out. I don't know why you posted screenshots of random hands as that's just not relevant, of course.

    Why did you post a load of random screenshots?

    Can you share the last few batches of your 888 hand histories?

    Imagine if the site removed the algorithm you'd be skint by dinner time

    lol i find it incredible that all the support is for randomness.... when a brand decides to set up a poker site.. do you think they just wanted to do it entirely for Poker Players, to be able to play online, for the best players to make money and poor players fall by the wayside and not really care if they made a profit?

    Or do you think they spotted a gap in the market, saw a huge money making opportunity and decided to exploit it? Which version do you think is closest to the truth there?

    Pokerstars for example: what a beautiful example of operating just for the pleasure of others, without a thought for themselves. I think they probably actually lose money but do it just thinking of others.

    Im being sacrcastic, before the hoards of ultra intelligent users here comment :D

    There is no "evidence" to show you have lost 458 consecutive flips. As @kapowblamz said earlier, we all tend to remember the losses and forget the winners.

    As someone pointed out, the odds of losing this many consecutive flops is so large as to be nonsensical. To try and put that into perspective, the odds against that happening are a 138-digit number. If you bought just 1 lottery ticket for the next 2 draws, the odds against you winning the jackpot BOTH times would only be a 16-digit number.

    There is a very simple way for you to check the veracity of your theory. Sharkscope will have a record of your worst-ever 500 game streak. If you did not lose very close to every single $ spent in that 500 games, it didn't happen. There would also be a precipitous downswing on your graph, steeper than the worst player on the site. Because, if your claims were true, your results would be worse than the worst player on the site.

    You also don't seem to understand the important difference between the regulation of poker and all other casino games. In every other game, you are playing against the house. So-if you lose, they win. That is not the case in poker. The house doesn't care who loses. So-unless the "fix" involves a particular player winning, it is irrelevant to the house that you lose.

    I am no fan of 888. But, to be fair to their compliance team, unless you can back up your claims via sharkscope or similar, or show an enormous preponderance of suckouts against you from the same player, they are not going to look into your claim.

    Another person commenting without reading what was actually being said. It appears that people who believe that companies dont maximise their business opportunity, have a very low understanding of most things anyway and a very low attention span!

    Please just comment if you are prepared to read what is actually being said in full. Thank you.

    Christ what have I started, If anybody thinks poker is solved in 2022 a little read of this will tell you it is still well and truely alive.

    Also MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS to TheWaddy (maybe we can rename that to TheMitty - Walter) who has just broken his duck of losing 458 consecutive loses not once but TWICE in the same game, funny that huh.

    Still getting berated every game, but since he's since came out and given us his "thoughts" on poker, I actually feel a little sorry for the guy.

    Love not hate my friend, it feels alot better, honestly.

    so the 458 consecutive losing hands statement is no longer relevant and you want to discuss the other points you have made, but only if they have been read and understood in their entirety. Is that correct?
