After playing gpokr for 3+ months I think that everyone here can agree that there is a conspiracy in the way the system is designed in that the cards dealt are not truly random.
Compare your play on gpokr to other online systems or real life cards and you will find that more often on gpokr, the system appears to do the following: 1. Reward those that fold less up to a point (Lucky Streak Simulation) 2. Deals a turn or river card that would have allowed you to win after you have already folded (Tight Player Penalizer) 3. Encourages all-ins by planning the flop based on player pocket cards (False Hope Euphoria) 4. Based on how long you play, deals you better cards just as you are about to leave (The Addiction Analyzer) 5. Flops an inordinate amount of 3 of a kinds on the board (Random Deal Bug) 6. Deals the same cards to new player on subsequent hand (Sorry, no name for this) :) The purpose of the conspiracy is to encourage the player's addiction to going to gpokr.com on a daily basis. Ryan must be making more money from the ads than the donations, hence the need to make the player addicted and insure they keep coming back. |

at 5:46 PM, Friday April 27, 2007 EDT The funniest thing here is when you look at the graph of Stone35. They were cruising along with 580K, lost all their money in a day or two and then decided to run of to the forums bagging out gpokr.
I am guessing it is a tounge in cheek post anyway .. quite amusing and completely factually incorrect. |

at 3:24 AM, Saturday April 28, 2007 EDT Right so I should :
1. Never fold 2. Always wait for the Turn(but as I never fold, done) 3. Never go all in 4. Keep leaving the tables I am playing at 5. Hope for trips on the flop (done already) 6. Work my english out to understand the last point... April, I'm first !!! |

at 10:25 AM, Saturday April 28, 2007 EDT Jagungal is right. I had wanted to post my conspiracy theory for a while and my HUGE loss to pikkio spurred me to post. (Full house K over 4 was beat by pikkio's 4 of a kind)
The perception is that gpokr has fake randomness, however if it did then that would make Ryan a super marketing genius. If he were a super marketing genius then he wouldn't have time to do actual coding, so therefore, the randomness must truly be random. Ryan, your thoughts? |

at 11:38 AM, Saturday April 28, 2007 EDT well of course pikkio is going to take large amounts from you he is pikkio
and if everyone complained of huge losses then ryan would need to set up a complaint department of 1 million volenteers |

at 3:04 PM, Sunday April 29, 2007 EDT I think the felt "unrandomness" compared to real life poker is due to the amount of players involved (normally i play to 3-6 ppl, not nine) that makes it more likely that 2 players have a good hand.
Another important factor is the number of hands played. In rl u play maybe 50 hands an evening (just a guess). In gpokr u can easily play hundreds of hands in a few hours. tThus its much more likely to see poker or flush or 2 ppl with flush and that stuff. Also its not like u have big losses very often compared to the number of hands played. U only remember them much longer than the small losses/wins. |
