Re: How crooked is Party Poker? My two cents.

I'm playing in their Million dollar tourney yesterday and of about 1900 entries, we're down to about 600. Pays top 220. I'm right on the avg stack and am in first position with pocket A's. Blinds are 200/400 and I raise to 1000 from first position. Table folds all the way around to the bb who calls. Flop comes A, 9, 2. I've got the nuts with trip A's and want to see how much I can extract. I go in for another 1000 and am promptly raised all in by the BB. He has trip 9 at best so I quickly call. He has me covered barely and shows K Q of diamonds. So he now has AKQ of diamonds to my trip A's. Of course he quickly gets runner runner J, 10 to end my run. First what are the chances that he gets the J, 10 to hand me the beat but more importantly, why would he be anywhere near that hand to begin with? If someone raises like that from 1st position, you've GOT to put them on a solid pair or high Ace at least. It's bad enough that he called the raise from his position but to raise all in with AKQ when I obviously had a big hand is laughable. His comment after the runner runner draw was that "he had a feeling". Give me a break. Anyway, this clown proceded to finish 2nd in the event and pocket 117K. Too convenient if you ask me. Somehow, someway, I'm convinced that the winners of these tourneys can somehow be manipulated. There's no way a moron like that makes that play in the first place after 3 hours of building a stack. Any thoughts or was it just another bad beat?

My guess is you're not taking this too well. Maybe you should stick to your home games, because clearly, online poker is rigged against you.
