    Meanwhile, despite 'it being summer' as an EssexPhil explanation for the lack of clogging they claimed happens.....

    No-ones sunbathing at 10pm, theres 2000 online.... and....

    We can safely rule out lobby clogging, but thanks for your votes Bean/EssexPhil!

    What Essexphil said. Couple of points to add:

    1. Every bar I passed in London today was jammed with people enjoying drinks on a nice day.. The weather does impact site traffic. As do promotions - a lot of people are grinding the 10bb spin up games when they would otherwise play HUSNGs.

    2. When the Kings of the Hill don't open sit every table, nobody else open sits because they are all scared of having to play somebody good or somebody they don't want to. You can easily see all or nothing in the lobbies.

    Maybe you’re putting people off playing by telling everyone the game is bent. Crank.

    Single pair hands, no low, get it in the muck when they raise pre.

    Come on now. You cant come to that conclusion just from the info you can see, though even then its plain why im calling. Its 10/20 blinds though for a start and its heads up. Im set mining with the queens basically, which can give u the game.. im double suited... he has 806 to my 2164... You dont think thats worth 20 chips? Im never folding that here.

    And guess what, i hit a hand he wanted to play all in with little.

    Also again, this is a guy who was playing hold em within a hi lo game, he would bet/call any top pair flopped, even if it was an all low board and he had no low possibility. You cant see this info from a screenshot. This was proved by his raising here.

    You have to call at these blinds with anything you can hit big with early on, as when the blinds get large hes going to be betting any poor hand and you will be left having to play a moderate hand for big chips or be blinded away.

    Regs would not sit there all day refusing to play, they sit long enough with no game already and are there to make money.

    You are literally arguing for the site to allow players to refuse to play people

    because they currently have to play anyone who sits them

    I cant help what the deck produces throughout any given day. Just tons and tons of them. Last nights £1000 freeroll pump or dump, 87% favourite against someone 'trying to giveaway'.... Not allowed.... You would expect to see a loss to these hands once every now and then, not all day every day.... Im not telling anybody anything, im just showing you hands, make you own minds up of how you decipher them.

    you played those 7's tremendously though.......

    I mean im not exactly putting up AK v AJ all in preflop and a jack flopping, am i now? Do you want to have a go as to why there are sooooo many unlikely results and not just that, in an unlikely manner? ie KdKh v 10s8h all in preflop..... 10 8 makes a spade flush via 4 spade board?
  • TheWaddyTheWaddy Member Posts: 1,592

    Well from the call i got i would have to agree! In the freeroll i pump or dump to double or im not interested in sitting for an hour to bow out through not getting going. As there are many, many enhanced hands in the freeroll, you will often get a call as he will have a queen here pretty often.

    And as you can see, even when they have 3rd pair, they still call....

    Makes sense when the freerolls are a quid below your normal stakes!

    Haha. Well if it was double suited I will give u a pass haha

    :)

    If its a $1500 wsop standard event, with monster blinds, im folding.... £1 first level blinds, against a player with no idea whats going on for 20 chips, im seeing flops....

    Hold em online, particulary the £1k freeroll, doesnt interest me.... its just playstation poker with 3/4 all ins, all have something, lead swaps turn and river.

    Its dross. It will take an hour to even get to the £1. I double up or get busted, its all my points qualifies me for, so lets get it over with.

    You guys might get excited by the hands, for me its just dross.

    I wouldn't bother. Logic, deductive reasoning and thinking through the implications fully just isn't his thing.

    I’ve had a detailed look on Waddys behalf
    Tbf it’s very good. 14p an hour
    Would be 15p if not for all the ‘giveaway’ attempts getting there
