Default My PKR woes

Alright, so let me start off by stating that i'm not a sore loser at PKR. I've only ever deposited $40 to the site, and yesterday I withdrew thousands.

Hands down it is, or was the easiest site i've ever played at. 80% of it's players must be in some sort of vegetative state to play like they do.
I signed up in Feb, and by April I was upto $3000. I played cautiously, keeping the min x20 buy-in rule, and always finished the months with more than enough profit.

Whilst at the 0.50/1 tables, I, and numerous others started to realise something wasn't quite 'right' with the RNG.
For a site who's tables will roughly play 50 hands p/hour, compared to PP for examples ~150, you see a shocking ammount of action.
We're talking of seeing a Full House/Flush/Straight pretty much every 7 hands guaranteed! And constant premium pocket pairs going head to head.
It was at the point when I lost with a full house (with pocket pairs) to quads, three times in two hours that I started to air my concerns on their forums.
Basically you will often flop a flush King high, only to realise you and 2-3 others have all flopped a flush, one incidently will have the Ace.
Now i've heard people pass it off and just say 'thats poker!', but I see these unreal beats every single session I play in. Here's just a few screenshots of the amazing flops and the constant rewards to bad players:

You see, they claim to use the Mersenne Twister(MT) algorithm to generate random numbers, which is all fine and well, but then state that the deck then gets reshuffled. Now I may be clutching at straws, but they don't state 'what' reshuffles them, and whatever is reshuffling, and in my (far out?) opinion, it puts them in such an order so to cause the most action and gather the most rake.

On PKR's forums there was a thread that I was involved in regarding the integrity of the RNG, and whether or not it's working efficiently. It had thousands of views and a load of people agreeing that something is up. It was, at around this time I, and a few others 'swore' during a game, and some miserable woman reported us.
I log-in to the site the following day, only to find that my ingame chat had been blocked. Not only that, but they'd banned me from the forums, banned me from the 'ranking system', disabled my stats/blog/guestbook, and disabled any withdrawals from my account
So basically all they'd left me with was the ability to play poker! (which i didn't even want to do there anymore)

I check my spam folder and I noticed i'd received an email from their head of support stating that i've had my chat permanantly banned for swearing. No explantion as to why i'd been issued all the other bans.
I respond with a lengthy reply, apologising for using profanity, and explained that it wasn't aimed at anyone on the table, or anyone at all as a matter of fact.
Three weeks later and he/she never bothered to reply.

They wanted a shedload of ID from me in order to unlock withdrawals from my account, which took me 2-3 weeks to get ahold of. It finally got sorted last Friday after having to ring them to pick up on my email.

So all I stress is, if you like to play a game that involves around 5% skill and 95% luck (or you're a drunk) and be ruled by some form of poker hypocrisy, then PKR is absolute heaven.
But if you want to take pots odds and outs in mind and reraise that nut flush you hit on the flop all in, then avoid like the plague because you will lose to a runner runner FH [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I see you now have 5 posts.

You would have been better off to have left it at 4.

I don't know about that.

But at least in your case, (and I'm sure that even every woman would agree,) less would be better.

i'd like to know how you made that much money if PKR is so r!gg3d!!11
if everyone plays every hand like you're saying, then of course it's gonna happen that 3 ppl have a flush... it would've happen on other sites too, except people FOLDED their suited rags.
