Do you believe the poker sites are rewarding bad play?

G'day mates
I had my 7th Royal Flash tonight on PokerStars. It was bad play on my part that got rewarded wonderfully. I was trying something different tonight. I was purposefully trying to play like an idiot donk to see how many suck outs I would receive. It was truly appalling how many I got in two tournaments. It was an interesting experiment to say the least.
You must see a lot of flops sir RoninHarper I think I only got it once in more than 8 years of poker...
I don't play tons of volume, I'm not a big grinder but still even for a big grinder I would say 7 royal flushes in 2 years is pretty good. Playing like a donk always works

LOL.... Can resonate with your experiment Ronin. I recall one day a couple of years ago I did exactly the same on 888 where I pretty much went all in pre flop on every hand for a round of blinds and won every one! It's amazing what you can do with 82 or 83 off suit to the point I would say that is my favourite hand!

No, the truth is it's possible to lose against a donk with a bigger hand preflop just because he got lucky with the table cards. But you should try to give some cards to your cat and you and you'll realize you will not win all the time, and that doesn't mean your cat has got poker skills.

nice, 7 in 2years, i've had about 5 lifetime, so 7 in 2 years is awesome. Still remember my first on. Playing a $2.00/$4.00 limit at 888 I hit it on the flop. The other guy reraised on every card right to the max. when my cards showed, other players at the table started asking him, what the f**k did you have. lol i had no complaints .
------------ As for your poll. NO. poker sites do not reward bad play. I've seen this s**t happen in live play. the legion here used to have a tourney every sunday Untill a cop came in and found out we were playing for real money. they were told they can't do this .
Any way i hit trip 6's on the flop, another guy hit trip 7's on the flop. But the idiot that stayed in with s**t hit a straight on the river.
I know everyone complains that poker sites are rigged. But online poker is big bussiness with billions of dollars invested. They would never take the chance.
And what do they care who win's a pot. They still win in the long run.

Good catch there buddy, but i hate how jokerstars keeps rewarding donk`s, nothing against u, u see them all the time, raising re raising, u know they cant have it always, and finally that hand comes, big pocket pair KK or QQ u know u have them crashed, he raises u shove he calls with A2 off, and the jokerstars always lets him win with a str8, this has happened to me so many times its faaaaaaaar beyond ridiculous

You know... In what's we know - the cards are generated by random number generator... So why poker sites may reward us? Or maybe poker sites are thiefs!

seven royal Flush , that is amazing i only got two as far as your experiment , i think it won't get you far .. it might won you some hands but you won't reach far in any tournament unless you get very very lucky so stick to your normal play friend good luck .. hope you reach number 8 before the year ends
I think I only got it once in more than 8 years of
