Posted by Kristan: IMO - well based on 2 days lol (invested 100$ into it to test the tables, as they say its full of bad players), it really is full of bad players. Ive played some tourneys, cashed 2, one final table and other far from it lol. Anyway what amazes me even more than bad players, is THE RNG! Ive always looked my own game when having trouble with bad runs and all, but it really feels like something is wrong with Everest RNG. Ive played bout 1000 hands in plo10, plo25 lately and what ive seen is astonishing .
After 1000 hands im break even or little +, and i know its not sample size, but honestly, this is worst poker site I have ever been playing. I wouldnt recomment it to anyone.

Posted by godward89: Well your advice is right, everest is pish. Played 2047 hands, had kings 47 times, came up against aces 33 of them 47 times and lost the rest to flushes, brilliant
I havent looked into hand stats jet, but I guess its something similar I was talking about.
I agree! some thing mot right with RNG. It's just as bad as full tilt,Plus it seems like some one at the table always knows what you have,but maybe it's just me.

is it YOU?
"...had kings 47 times, came up against aces 33 of them 47 times.. "
I find this ridiculously hard to believe. You couldn't actually believe how hard I find this to believe. Sounds like random arbitrary numbers you made up, as apposed to HH from a tracking program.
edit: BTW I once build a small roll (before i lost it) from the free SNG's there. I've probably clocked around 2.5-5 thousand hands there, can't say as I don't have that HH anymore, but I've put in around 40-60hrs @ Everest. So I have some concept of their RNG. I never noticed anything weird (me losing my roll is standard).

First 8$ sng today Ive had - I bubble.
1st blind level and I have KK, limp in, guy next to me raises, I make reraise he goes all in I call ofcourse ahd he shows 57 suit, flop - 3,4,6 - he made straight flush.
Next hand he goes all in K10 preflop - get called by AK and he hits 1010 on flop.
I manage to get back from 200 chips and were on bubble now. Get QQ on bb, guy next to me goes all in again I call al my 2k chips and he shows K3 - he wins with 4 card flush K high.
I know its nothing close to a sample. But I can honestly say its worst poker site I have been playing, because every time chips go in, Im a huge favour and end up losing. I would not mind to lose at all if it was coinflip or my own mistake, but this is just absurd.
Bad players or not, but I thought in a long run, its profitable to play against loose cannons, but I think soon im out of money and dont want to waste my time to play against rng, not players.
I played there some SnG's and i didnt notice this kind of problem, it is similar as in any other room - Maybe more than normal quantity of straights occures.
But for example on Party poker, you will see a lot of flushes, so everest is similar as any other rooms, not worse, not better..

Just a bad run man, I've played a bigger sample than that on everest and was never anything like that.

Parallele with yesterdays first sng.
15$ buy in 10 max table.
I sit with K9 on BB, 3 callers no raise, flop 994 - good right . I check and cutoff makes a raise for 150, I call and 1 more calls. Turn 2, I raise potsize 1 calls and cutoff folds. River 7, I bet al in, he calls and shows 77. !
Now to throw the line I played in pkr yesterday and today morning and cashed 2 large tourneys one to final table and another one 20+. And I qualified for masters stage 3 again. Very good run in pkr and Im ahappy about it as Masters is coming in 2 days and im going to play it thistime as my family is away and I can concentrate to it.
But I dont get it how the fk can I run so crap in Everest if everyone saying "its the best site bla bla bla"
.
I wouldnt recomment it to anyone.
