Default Those strange bad beats at Party

It is very strange the huge amount of bad beats you get in Party Poker. Some hands even runner runner break you. An in general the river is not your friend. I know you see much more hands on inet than in real games but these kinds of bad moves happen almost all the time. What do yo think about?

PD:Miracle cards appear sometimes but not too often like some internet sites.

It is unlikely that the viewers of this forum are sophisticated enough to understand all of that statistical mumbo-jumbo you mention above.

The quality of the responses you get may not match the insightfulness of your observations.

As much as I'd like to think Party is rigged, I can't come up with any logical argument backed by statistically significant numbers to prove it. I usually think this after some joker calls my all-in AA with his K6s after no one hit anything on the flop. He needed either two diamonds, two kings, or two sixes on 4th and 5th streets and got the two sixes. Looking back at that hand, yeah it seems like (yet another) ridiculous bad beat, but you have to remember just because you're a 4:1 favorite doesn't mean you'll never lose. Until those bad beats happens to a person at least 200 times, he has very little chance of proving it's not just random bad luck. Stupid garbage like that happens all the time and if one of these times it pushes me over the edge to actually calculate if Party is rigged I'm going to have to say it's just bad luck. I'll let everyone know if it is rigged, but I doubt it.

Amen. You can play as low as 0.01/0.02 online...this will attract infinitely terrible players. In a B&M, the minimum is usually 2/4. Likewise, you can play online tourneys for $2 vs. $50 and up in a B&M. The lower the amount of money required, the more bad players you're going to run into and you're going to lose to hands worse than yours that shouldn't have even been in the pot in the first place. If you want to see an even better example of this theory, spend some time on the play chip tables...it's bad beats galore because no one cares about fake money.

We've been through this a hundred times, even in my short tenure on 2+2. Bad beats happen...especially against bad players. Nothing is rigged. Move on and be thankful that there are idiots out there trying to catch their draws against your monster hands...they are a good player's cash cow.

The river is not your friend because good players usually put their chips in with made hands and decent favorites, therefore the river will obviously help people still on the draw more often than it will help you (win).

I have had pocket aces 179 times on party poker, and they have got cracked every single time. I think it's just bad luck.
