Proof That Online Poker Is Rigged!
Zynga Ready for Real Money Gaming or Trying to Hide Failures?Wow, I really felt in the groove tonight. Only had time for one game but I just sat back and hit the monster hands at all the right times. Here was my favorite hand of the match:
Paradise Poker Limit Hold’em Tourney, Big Blind t50 (9 handed)
Preflop: Hero is BB with 9d, 2s.
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, CO folds, Button calls, SB folds, Hero checks.
Flop: (6.50 SB, t325) 9c, 2h, 9h (5 players)
Hero checks, MP1 checks, MP2 checks, MP3 checks, Button checks.
Turn: (3.25 BB, t325) 5c (5 players)
Hero checks, MP1 bets, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, Button calls, Hero calls.
River: (6.25 BB, t625) Qs (3 players)
Hero checks, MP1 bets, Button calls, Hero raises, MP1 calls, Button folds.
Final Pot: 11.25 BB (t1125)
This was one of those tables with “nh” flying around after some guy caught a lucky card on the river but when I check raised on the river I could almost see steam coming out of his virtual ears. No “nh” from him after that beat. :-)
I ended up staying about middle of the pack the entire tourney and then punished this one poor dude near the end and took all his money to put me well into the chip lead. When we got down to the final three I had $4000+ with the other two splitting the rest. I was up to over $6000 by the time it got heads up and the last hand I checked it on the BB with a crap hand, 7Ts, caught a four to the flush draw on the flop, he went all in, I called and the turn came another suited card and he picked up a set on the river.

Hi, my name is Bill Rini and this is my poker blog. I've been blogging about poker and the poker industry since around 2003-ish. Like most people I started out playing poker as entertainment in home games whenever we wanted to sit around and smoke cigars, drink beer, and eat pizza, and needed a good excuse. I started playing online shortly after the first online card rooms opened and it wasn't long before I was playing 20, 30, or even 40 hours a week or more. One day I received a phone call about a program manager position at Tiltware which was the company that consulted to Full Tilt Poker on software development and marketing. After Tiltware I spent about 2.5 years working at Party Poker where I was the poker room manager.
