PKR stinks - PKR Nation - For PKR 3D Poker and Casino Players

I find it very hard to believe that pkr is not rigged when this kind of thing happens, I'd played a tight game and got some good cards, 1 person left to beat and she's only got 1k left, can you guess what happens next...? (see below). And for all you people who say 'that's poker', 'bad-beats happen sometimes' etc etc, it's bs, it happens ALL THE TIME on PKR, pretty much every game I get this type of sh*t and I see a lot more happening to other people.
1st... All-in after the flop

Then, a couple of hands later I'm all in...

PKR? I smell something fishy...

you consider these bad beats?

how long have you been playing poker? Having an Ace does mean anything in this game.

Actually I've been playing poker in one form or another for over 25 years.
Isn't the definition of a bad-beat a good hand being beaten by a worse hand?
The thing is, I can accept the occasional bad-beat, I understand that it's all part of the game, but it's the frequency of the ridiculous bad-beats on PKR that pisses me off, it's like my 90% hand is generally a 50% hand and if it's not me then it's happening to someone else.
I'm almost certain there's an evil monkey living inside the PKR server whose job it is to screw me over on the turn and the river... Well that's what it feels like anyway.

Well I can assure you that PKR is very closely monitored and there is nothing funny going on. I'm actually going to write about it as I keep reading about complaints.

As for bad beats, I personally consider a bad beat 1 of 2 things.

1 - you have a player dominated and he gets runner runner to beat you

2 - your 4 of a kind gets beat by a straight flush (this usually qualifies for a bad beat jackpot in live poker rooms)

sorry, but a card falling on the river to beat you has happened to me in real life too many times for me to consider it a bad beat.

also keep in mind that you are playing 3 times as many hands online as you do in real life, so you will see deadly rivers more than in real life.

how is that a bad beat, cause the other person didnt have a club ,...ANY club

the big differnce in comparing bad beats from PKR to any,.... and i mean any other site, is the amount of donks that play on pkr.

the site is just to new to get enough quality players to see less "bad beats"

people can complain all the want and say its rigged
but once you look at the amount of noobs that simply will call / push with any two cards is over whelming.

and thats something you dont see at every table on other sites.....

and like i have said b4, the more fish/noobs/donks on a site
( percentage wise ) the more suck outs, and bad beats you will see, thats basic math.

the reason it is basic, is cause more cards will follow, where a "good" player will fold cause they dont match pot odds......... noobs dont know what pot odds are, or emplied odds or fold equity.... etc etc

Ok, fair point about the noobs/donks, but surely you'd expect to see them pushing all-in with shite and losing? Not pushing all-in and winning with some fluky draw?
Surely the maths dictates that the best hand should win most of the time, especially when it's the best hand after the flop, it seems to me that too often the crap hand is winning...
#42, yeah not a bad beat, just ridiculous...

ok so we agree about the noobs
lets forget about the cards and how often they do get ownd
( which I agree, it does feel like PKR rewards bad play )

so what does any good poker player do? adapt or move on

if u want to play on PKR and make money at it, maybe its time you change your strategy accordinly.

I'll be honest with ya, i changed my play style by about 60% to adjust to PKR players.

" play the players, not the cards "

sure in 25 years u have heard that?
