How can they be so dumb?
I started playing on new site (at least new to me). I just played in a Limit Hold 'em tourney and one seat continually won. Usually on the river. Everyone at the table had a few hundred to 800 in chips while he was well over 8K by the time I had to play my last chips on pocket 6s. I bet the whole way going all in. 4 players called the whole way and the board paired 4s and a K was dealt on the river. He made Ks & 4s on the river. The fact that on line tourneys ALWAYS go this way (one seat winning over and over no matter how bad their play) aggravates me. But, what annoys me even more is that other players at the same table seeing the same improbable deals happen again and again actually still believe that this is just a random deal. I just don't get it. Maybe it's just that I have literally spent 1000s of hours playing in casino games that I know the fact one player will win over and over and over in every tourney at every table every time is not just unlikely, but vastly improbable and they know nothing but these kind of deals. I don't know. But, more people need to take notice and start complaining. Or it will never change. I guess on line poker sites are making a fortune off this kind of stupidity or ignorance about random dealing and poker in general.
