I was only playing on there for a few months so can't say anything about it being rigged or not but i Deposited $50 and made over $600 (won a $5.50 tourney for $400 and odd and some others) then it just started to get a bit of a struggle to go deep. lost a bit of interest playing there. then i read your posts and decided i don't want to lose any of what i have won so withdrew it all. my nickname is Bullettooth1 on there.
------------ I would say that i was finding easy to cash at first and then it started to slow down. i wasn't cashing in tourneys but was making back what i spent on the cash tables

Posted by Wayniac99: Well i thought the higher you buy in the less donks you get HOW I WAS SOOOOO WRONG
$22 buy in on 888 2k guaranteed deep stack 5k chips
1st level 10/20 im sb with AA
utg +2 raise to 100 button reraise to 540 i 4bet to 1350 utg+" folds button shoves i insta call
He is a sucker! so bad news man! button shows q7 hearts do i need to say what happens next WELL it wasnt a flush
Flop 865 rainbow turn 7.....And your telling me the donks dont know its fixed and risk there $22 on such a s**t hand in the first level of a 5k stack
------------ And before anyone starts about bad beats happen and blah blah.....Lets put it this way how many people would risk there tournament in the first level of a $22 buy in with q7 i mean come on be realistic.
Freerolls $1 rebuys fair enough play bingo no problem but higher buyins play 4king poker

Posted by Peremoha: aces again.... you have to be careful with them.I told already that my last pocket aces didn't bring me much joy.Many players catch 2 pairs on a flop and you stay with nothing. good luck on other tourneys!
When you say "people" you refer at players like yourself, who will call with all hands, anything? Coz with 2 aces, someone will make a big raise... only players with good hands will call and another who play "roulette" will call, so... how many players will be? Calling with all hands, like that player, is a long term loose, he will be out at some point from there, luck comes and go, stupidity remain...

And we aren’t counting with north americans anymore, who would be the ones with bigger financial capabilities that would probably be able to play hands like this, with this value in question, without minding too much. It’s just insane. Was it possible for that guy to have won a ticket for that tourney without having to pay those $22. If so, there may be the explanation. Just like the crazy dude that sent me away from the Cool Million, going all-in after flop waiting for a flush with only one card for it on the flop…

"But it was suited!" =)
Jokes apart that is kinda funny at that lvl.. but i've seen some crazy stuff at that and higher lvl.
The other day i was railing a mate at sunday million it was near bubble and the guy goes all in bluffs on the river like 50bbs on a big pot with K6 (sooted air XD) .. i cant remember the board but i remember it was not a good spot to do such a crazy move. I was astonished with that at a 215$ BI tournament when they are deep.. ofc he showed the bluff.
Sometimes i feel that all those ballers videos over the inetz are bad for some people minds.

It diesnt aterr where y go there are people who play with anything and sometimes come out really lucky. I had AKs and played betting the pot each time, with an opponet calling me each time. all the way through I had the best hand KK and he evetuall won on the flop wiith a straight, his starting hand being 34s

I've got to agree that this is just ugly! Generally don't see this type of play at that level, but I guess I can't vouch a whole lot sinec the highest buyin I've ever played is $11.00 so I guess it's hard to believe.
Just to say though! I sure see a lot of donk players at the $5.50 level. I mean morehen expected.
