You will see a definate pattern of ridiculous beats. I wouldn't even think twice about it, if it wasn't for the fact that it happens over 10 times in a 20 minute game...
And I don't know you from a whole in the wall, but I certainly wouldn't imply that you have a subpar IQ without knowing you. Maybe next time try introducing yourself to the noobs and give them an objective answer without demeaning them.. |
I just find it hard to treat this 'evidence' as objective, as by its very nature it can't be. You've invested money to play in these tournaments. You and I, and every poker player out there, we all HATE to admit a mistake. We all HATE to lose. Losing hurts, and I think for most people losing hurts a damn sight more than the joy of winning the same amount. People typically dwell on the bad things that happen as a result.
My objective answer was already given - measures are inplace to show up any irregularities, and are much tighter since AB/UB were found out. But seriously, if you think 10-15 short tournies is enough to see this amazing pattern, I can only say: sample size.
