Party Poker freeroll tournaments

[BigBiceps]

I know this post will make me sound like a paranoid newbie, but I post it anyway because it seemed very unreal.

I was playing a party poker freeroll, and the worst hand kept winning if the better hand was allin. Anyone else seen anything like this?

When the people are all in usually the cards are dealt out real fast. However, a couple of times, when the river could decide who gets crushed or eliminated, the server lagged (as if the code was computing who it wanted to win). Ie. it was determining something like who has paid more rake or whatever, to decide who to eliminate. Anyone else seen lag like this?

I have read whole webpages devoted about how party poker is rigged ... I play there anyway. I just wanted to see if anyone else saw these things happen in one of their freeroll tournaments.

It is rigged. Didn't you read that article?

Start going in with the worst hand and watch your ROI skyrocket.

what article?

I saw some crazy stuff like someone calling a big all-in on a board of TTJJ, the guy that went allin had KK and the guy called his allin with 99. ... river 9 ... How can anyone make that call, especially if they have already survived the tournament for 2 or 3 hours, they can't be totally brain dead.

I saw countless underpairs beat overpairs. Trips losing to runner runner fullhouses etc.

All of this in one tournament. Seemed extra unusual.

They talk about this hand in the article! Can someone link him to it?

In the meantime, just trust me and start pushing when you know you're dominated.

PartyPoker is rigged, that article confirms it. Professor Smith confirmed it in his article that the random card generator wears down after long use and PartyPoker has yet to buy a new one because they are cheap. i tell ya, Professor Smith is a very wise man. Until than stick to B&M because you can't trust online play anymore

I'm pretty sure Smith is also coming out with an article next month about how B&M dealers are taught to stack the deck so that the rake is bigger. Crazy stuff. Apparently it's not safe to play anywhere now.

Very interesting although I have heard reports that Online Sites will be sueing Professor Smith for a ton of money because he proved they were a scam. And once this trial makes it to the TV all gambling sites will be permantely banned from the USA. Although I have heard Canada runs fair casinos I think I might give them a shot
