This game is rigged

[<LBB> Morix]

Been playing it for a couple of nights now and I have noticed a very reliable pattern emerging. Every time I go all in, even if I have a winning hand to start with, the cards that drop always gives my opponent exactly what they need to beat me. For example: Just now while sitting on a pair, I went all in and the Heavy turned over a 5 and a 9. Sure enough, the next two cards that drop are 5 and 9.

Situations like this have occurred on the last 10-15 times I gone all in, without fail. I would be inclined to believe this was pure chance if I won some and lost some, but given that it happens EVERY SINGLE TIME, the only conclusion I can draw is that the game has been programmed to cause this to happen. It's incredibly frustraing knowing that I have wasted my time and my money on a rigged game.

the game HAX *throws monitor at dev*

I've went all-in just last night against the Heavy on a 6/7 of clubs, I ended up getting a Flush while he got 2 pair (and I had no pairs for me drop)

yeah i know what you mean, i have even deleted my stats for an experement and have found you will start winning well above average in % of hands won but soon i always drop from about 40% to 5-10% and all ins after about my firse 6 streight wins have about 1/5 win rate after that

Maybe you just suck. If you gamble, you're going to lose some of your hands.

Maybe you just suck at reading comprehension. I didn't say I lost *some* hands. Some would be fine. The game systematically makes sure I go from a winning hand to a losing one everytime I go all in. Every. Time. If you don't like me venting about it, then just ignore it.

Maybe you should read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias

The game isn't rigged. I managed to get all the TF2 items in less than 2 hours

[<LBB> Morix]

I never said a thing about winning the TF2 items. I know it's possible to get those because I already have one myself. You just can't go all in to win it because the game will make sure you lose, as it has done for me so far.

Just have horrible luck, not knowing when to fold when given a bad hand, or not to over bet than what you believe you have a good hand.

[SpookWiz]

Just bad luck. I never have that problem.
Besides that, why would they do that? All that will do is result in the player not enjoying the game, why would devs do that?

Bad luck, or just have no idea how to play poker. Poker is a casino game, and this means that there is lots of gambling involved. Don't expect to win a poker game going all-in, it's not a good strategy.

There are many successful strategies to win poker. Going all-in all the time isn't one of them.

I went from having only $800 to winning the tournament including all-ins. I had two full houses in a row, I'm not sure the game is rigged, more you're just getting rubbish hands.

I've noticed:

Strong Bad is usually horrible, but when he's good, he dominates

Tycho also raises when you have bad cards (and Tycho is usually bluffing) and is usually good.

Max is always good.

I haven't noticed anything with the Heavy, though.

strong bad was doing pretty good, he and I were the last standing, and I gave him an ass kicking.

I just find it baffling at times why people's first reaction is to hurl an insult... The courage afforded them by being insulated by the Internet I guess. I know it would have been difficult to just say something more appropriate like "Maybe you should try changing your playstyle" or something of that nature...

Knocked max out and got his item, he has never lost a hand afterwards
