Default Re: 888.com/Pacific Poker has something up their sleeve

donger,

Actually from the link C_R gave, you are in a group of 4 tables in duplicate poker, which apparently seeks to use the fantasy sports exemption by basing payouts on statistical performance (beginning and ending chip counts) after the hand is over.

So you are in a limit game utg and you and your 3 same seat partners on the other tables get dealt 72o. Naturally you prudently fold as do 2 others. But the lag on the 4th table raises it and caps when reraised. The flop comes KT8r and he bets out and caps again. Same when a 2 comes on the turn, and again when a 2 comes on the river. So lag shows down his runner runner board set and beats AK, which means you and 2 other players dump to him. How fun can that be? Or even if you all held AA, just because someone else has players on his table more willing to lose more to an overpair, how is that skill and thus fun?
