[censored] YOU ABSOLUTE POKER

TheJokerIsWild · #1 09-13-2007, 01:48 AM

I've played almost exclusively at Absolute Poker for the past year since the legislation and have consistently beaten the .50-1 game for close to 7bb/100. Since they instituted the BBJ, I've gotten absolutely crushed. Bad beats beyond belief. I've never come close to saying a site is rigged, but I'm starting to wonder. I've heard a lot of other consistent winning players say the same thing recently.

Tonight I loaded up my usual 6 tables and ran into a guy who was consistenly betting like $50 into $2 pots. He was down to $30 and left with over $1100 in 30 minutes. About $900 of it was my money. I've been playing for 7 years solid and have never experienced anything remotely like this.

Here is how it when down:

I have position on him, so I'm pretty much calling anything preflop or small raises with even garbage hands since he is overbetting the pot every time.

First Hand:

Absolute Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.50/$1
6 players
Converter

UTG: $9.75
UTG+1: $98.50

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is SB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
3 folds, Button calls, Hero calls, BB checks.

Results:
Final pot: $202
Button Shows Ah 8c
Hero Shows 9h 3h

OK whatever, so now I reload to the full $200 because it's obvious he will give the money back.

I think it's funny how OP assumes it was his "last $30", and also how mad he gets about losing four buy-ins when his opponent was nice enough to take the worst of it everytime.

Whats next, some pissed off pit boss in BBV ranting and raving about some degen who kept hitting twenty one on the roulette wheel?

[censored] ! I hate it when I have to pay the guy who stuck $200 in as a 4-1 dog!

No, they aren't bad beats. He is calling all ins PREFLOP with 34 off vs. QQ and hitting. Something is weird at AP right now.
