View Full Version : Planet...very interesting....

I have been playing on Planet now (even with there ugly software) and have noticed that I have NOT seen the types of hands that everyone notes happens on PP & PS -- maybe I am just on a good streak? Not sure...but it is very weird that this site of all sites has a different feel about it...good hands seem to hold up better...less really off the wall stuff seems to happen...and I can say that I have only seen 2 sets of quads and 1 strait flush.


I hate this software, but I am staying here for now. I plan to try WSEX next, and if it seems lagit, then I will not return to PP or PS again ('cept for PS to use the reset of my points for the free tourneys).

if you don't see bad beats there, perhaps, that means that *their* shuffle is not random.

If you don't see (excessive) bad beats there, perhaps, that means that *their* shuffle IS random.

Right. "Excessive" is the key word.


I don't know one way or another.


Just pointing to some interesting possibilty. If so many players believe that cardrooms rig their software to increase the number of bad beats (very stupid thing to do by the way ) why can not it be that a cardroom decided to rig their software to decrease their number?

ONLY REASON THE CARDS COME OUT SO TIGHT. JUST PROVES THAT THE CASINOS CONTROL THE CARDS

Planet is the only site I have played where the deal seems to be "normal" compared to B&M rooms. It is also the only site where I truly have confidence that poker experts with reputations to protect, are making sure the deal is"straight".


Yet I never play Planet anymore. Why? The software and spport SUX SO BADLY!!!


They "coulda been a contenduh", could have been number 1. Instead they will fade away. If only someone would combine the integrity of Planet, with the speed and server reliability of Paradise, the support of some of the better sites, the multi table tourney capability of Party and Pokerstars,

the player notes of Pokerstars and party, the "soft" player base of Party and TruePoker, and the great promos of Party, and a few other sites!
