Something very strange......

I was playing .1./.2 on paradise poker and then moved up(for the first time) to .25/.5 and the first hand i got was AA. It was strange, I kept getting great hands, it almost felt like I was getting good hand because I moved up my limit. Anyone else get this kinda feeling at all? or am I just really stupid and dont know what the hell im talking about(in thinking a site could ever possibly be rigged)

As soon as you move up to a higher limit, Paradise (like most poker sites) switches you from "Losing Mode" to "Winning Mode" ... at least for the short term. These 'modes' are internal ratings/programs that affect what hands you're dealt, how often you complete your draws, and how often you suck out on others.

This way, you'll get hooked and contribute more rake. But sooner or later (usually after a cashout) they'll switch you back to "Losing" or "Breakeven" mode so that you'll be contributing to the 'fish' so as to keep them alive long enough to suck all the rake out of them too.


Sucks, eh?

I suggest you write a book. What you have here is a very captivating story of the highs and lows of gambling.

Yeah, as has been said, you are in Confidence Mode right now, just wait til you get to Distribution mode and Paradise will

you.

Exact same thing happened to me. I got switched into losing mode just for thinking about cashing out.

You are definatly in "win" mode after moving up limits. What you need to do is wait till you start losing, that means you are in "distribution" mode. At this point, move up limits, you will be reset to "win" at the higher limits. Now, you can figure out from last time about how much time you have before you get switched to Distribution at this limit. Move up again before the switch. Once you get to the highest limits, switch sites and start over.

u guys have problems
