I understand variance and all the rest.

It doesn't sound like it.

I have played around 100 tournaments on Pokerstars and I have lost with the best hand about 90% of the time.

[/ QUOTE ]

Is this based on your impressions and recollections, or on empirical data? What is "the best hand"? If 2 players go all in on the flop, the outcome is often a virtual coin flip. Sometimes the hand that is ahead on the flop is not the statistical favorite to win.

[ QUOTE ]
Even, tho I have only played around 10 tournaments on Party I have not lost with the best hand once. It is always a matter of being blinded out.

[/ QUOTE ]

Same questions as above. Also, the 100 hand sample above is meaninglessly small, and a 10 hand sample is not even worth discussing.

Why so hateful?

[/ QUOTE ]

Because your post is silly. "Party is better because I'm running good there."

I understand variance and all the rest. I have played around 100 tournaments on Pokerstars and I have lost with the best hand about 90% of the time. The rest of the time I got blinded out. Even, tho I have only played around 10 tournaments on Party I have not lost with the best hand once. It is always a matter of being blinded out. Just an observation and I know it can change. No need to be so hostile.

Don't go all in with the best hand and you'll win 90% of the time then. Duh. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

You only start out winning at Party in the beginning.

When they turn the DOOM SWITCH on your account, then you are going to see the bad beats.

The latest Pattern Map upgrade (Ver. 6.0.5) includes the ability to tell if your Doom Switch is on or off.

Exactly! The DOOM SWITCH determines if you lose or win. Doesn't matter how well you play, when it's on, you are screwed.

Simply log in and out SEVEN times to deactivate it. The SEVEN RULE. Most important online tip there is.

Someone should make this reply a sticky.

[/ QUOTE ]This is why i recomend that all new players skip over the beginners tables and head right to the 100/200 tables for 2 weeks. Your gonna win anyway so you might as well make the most out of it. Then you head directly to the beginners tables and learn to play.
