Game is Rigged
Pocket Kings, opponent has Pocket Queens. They get a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 4-of-a-kind of the flop.

So the game is rigged so some random player beats you specifically. Cool story bro, it makes total sense why devs would go to all that trouble.

At most, the RNG is tilted for action. Just be prepared for some crazy things to happen in any given hand.

I've already stopped playing. I want a realistic poker experience and not this unbelievable junk.

Real money or real life then.

This particular game has been the closest I have seen (have played most of them) to actually letting the free chips feel like they have some value. (especially at higher stakes and season competition) Which is really the biggest hurdle to overcome in giving a more real experience. Also almost all of them are tilted for action some.

Truthfully all-in preflop with K's is the right play in a lot of situations. But also you are at risk from anyone willing to call you preflop tbh, which is why I say chip value matters more than RNG. I am assuming you were all in pre flop because if not you would have had a chance to get out of the hand before going broke.

But even irl, bad beats happen and often. Hard to forget them though. I will never forget the most money I lost in a single hand irl... all in preflop AA vs AQ and they river a straight on me

The game IS bad if you have any knowledge of odds.

and if you had QQ and other player had KK and the flop was KK2 you'd say the cheating system is so obvious and bad if can't even do a "oh, you lost by just a little bit so try again" hands setup

Odds are odds. If you have any idea about basic mathematics you should know that and not blame the rng. If you put your given situation on a software like Flopzilla you will see that before the flop KK has 81.935% vs 18.065% which is the equity of QQ versus your hand. This means that 1.8 out of 10 your KK will break against QQ. Also after the flop your KK has a 88.975% propability to be better from the QQ but there is again a 11.205% that QQ will flop better.

It is a really bad poker notion to judge upon result. Going all in with a KK is a profitable move against QQ no matter if it breaks (just because 82% of the time KK will be better). Poker is a game of variance and whoever does not understand that is better to stay away from this game cause it can be frustrating. Also take a moment and consider that what you are actually saying is that the program is set up in a way to break your hand. Same-same as considering you are at the center of the universe and everything rotates around you. Study the game, realize that bad beats will always be a part of Poker,learn to think ranges, study some more and get better. There is a thing called Game Optimal Theory and whoever knows a thing or two about it can easily stay afloat of the soft pool of Poker Championship and the kind of Poker (loose and passive) that is played there.
Do casinos usually go out of business? :steammocking:

Casinos take rake from Poker tables. Like a rental that they take from the pot because poker is not rulette and in poker games the casino cannot interfere directly. They provide the table and sometimes the dealer and every player that sits on the table pays a share to the house. This is why live poker players are taking into consideration what kind of rake each casino takes. Also PS and other online platforms are taking rake mostly from cash games. Poker Championship is a platform that does not deal with real money so your comment is completely irrelevant.

So what exactly are you saying? That companies are moving in illegal ways and risk their own existence so they can break your hand? Well maybe but they don't really need to. Human stupidity is very powerful. Take this thread for example ;)

I used to have a lot of fun playing party poker. Unfortunate gambling laws shut them down in the US except NJ. Their software were understandably very accurate on odds.

Pretty certain most of these free poker games plays to the inexperienced. They are the ones that support them with real money buys after all.

HD poker is annoying while building your bankroll with the all-ins etc but once you get to the 10/20 mil buy-in tables they no longer exist. Problem I have with HD is the lag. Slow game due to gamers playing from other countries. 56K still? I think so.

Anyway thats why Im here, downloaded poker championship in hopes the game speed is to my liking and somewhat realistic odds. Ill soon find out.

Watching most live games wont give you sense of real experience per say. Televised poker often edits out 100s of hand in between hands where action happens.

This game would be closer to televised, since the RNG is tilted towards action already. Your comment is very vague. Provide some actual information.
