I don't understand how these shuffling programs are getting away with the tremendous bad beats they put on us. Why do I keep depositing my $50 when I know I'm gonna play a solid game at a $30 sit-n-go for 45 minutes only to lose my pocket QQ to an A7 on the river. I can almost feel when the shuffle program has said, you've cashed too many tournaments in a row, it's bad beat time, deposit more money. It's not just Full Tilt, Ultimate Bet is the king of bad beats when your account is low. Does anyone know of a site where the shuffle is more realistic?

1) Depositing more money does not give more money to the site. The site in fact would prefer it if you did NOT bust, but instead slowly lost money to the rake over time.

2) If you're only depositing $50.00, why are you playing $30.00 SNG's? In one SNG, anyone can win, and anyone can lose, no matter how much worse or how much better someone is than the rest of the field. By playing $30.00, you're simply asking to lose one and lose more than half of your bankroll in the process.

3) A7 should beat QQ over 30% of the time, and if it didn't, not only would the site be "unrealistic," but now, instead of losing to bad beats, you'd just be losing to better players, for all the bad players off of whom you can make your money would not play on the site.

It's easy to be skeptical as to the legitimacy of the shuffle sequence, but you won't find another more realistic site no matter how long you look. If it IS rigged, complaining about it won't get you anywhere, and if it's not rigged, you're making an ass of yourself.

Play smaller stakes, keep practicing, over time you will realize that the only players who think the site is rigged are the losing ones.

Did you see the WSOP tourny on tv tonite? I dont remeber the hand but a player remarked "thats impossible" to a bad beat, then Norman Chad said "if I had a dollar for every time I heard thats impossible at a poker table I would have enough money to date Paris Hilton." We all get a string of bad beats and it sucks but if the outcome was more predictable it wouldnt be poker.
