You will hear dozens of people tell you multiple strategies to winning online poker, and for the most part, their advice is reasonably accurate. However, online poker is quite different than live poker, mainly because online poker sites use a computer-generated set of codes, algorithms, and software to determine hand outcomes and winners.
In a live game, the deck is subjected to a truly random set of circumstances beyond the control of players, dealers, and the house. Unless the deck is stacked, the odds and statistics in a live game are more accurate than in online poker. Unfortunately, Internet sites are easily able to manipulate the decks, outcomes, and even winners in any game.
Until recently, online pokersites were regarded as honest and fair businesses, then scandals after scandal broke with many pokersites admitting to cheating, collusion and hacking by staff and players alike. This prompted a drastic change in the way online sites shuffled, delivered, and dealt their decks. In addition, the sites also added in extra measures of security in the form of anti-collusion and anti-cheating software.
Online Poker Vs. Live Poker - The big difference!
The anti-collusion and anti-cheating software, however necessary for the integrity of the site, changed more than just the security of the game. It also changed the outcome of the deal. To explain further, one of the measures of anti-collusion is the ability to detect when a player or players have won too many hands consecutively.
When this occurs, the programs anti-collusion algorithms will come into play and cause the suspected colluders to lose, by offering a seemingly unbeatable hand or strong starting hand that ultimately loses by the river.
The disadvantage is that the computer program does not KNOW who really is colluding and therefore, if you play great cards and win several hands consistently, the program will inadvertently 'accuse' you of cheating and deliver you a bad beat!
Hard to believe? But TRUE! You honestly do not think you are getting all those bad beats for no apparent reason, especially when you never get that many bad beats in a live game!
So, what is really going on here?
As you can see, the algorithms are automatically monitoring your wins and when you have won a number of hands outside of the algorithms boundaries, it is determined you must be cheating. The pokersite's algorithms will then attempt to eliminate you from the game by giving you trap or trick hands that induce your play and ultimately lose.
Not fair is it?
No, it really is not fair that online poker sites have taken the skill out of the game and then try to level the field so anyone can win by sucking out or bad beating you. Why should a good player be penalized because he knows how to use position to win a pot even with the worst hand?
The Secret:
Now that you know what the online poker sites are doing behind the scenes and why you may be getting bad beats so often, you can do something about it! Learn how the algorithm works, what the boundaries are and avoid getting bad beats and losing to a donkey chasing his draws.
