I have tried this game , it looks cool . but unfortunately the bookie is really hard to beat. I got three of kind queens(Q) lost with three of kind three (3). Cry

That might have been Bittrex-Richie. He's nearly unbeatable!

So what do you think about this game? Is it fair play or not? no matter how good my cards he definitely nicer . and only once did I just win Cry

I've come 1st in 2 tournaments and 3rd in 2. I've had many good hands and even more bad ones. I'm pretty confident that the game was fair to me.

The biggest annoyance and the reason I stopped playing the game is because of all of the people who literally do nothing but fold. Especially the ones that are quite obviously playing on multiple accounts. Folding over and over on all but one until they're knocked out then suddenly one of the other ones stops folding. Yeah, such a coincidence... Maybe now that there are more people playing it will be more fun, but the chance at 500 BRK wasn't worth the time to watch people fold over and over. It was painful. Extremely boring. One of the least fun games I have ever played.

I don't know if that's a normal thing in poker. People folding for 20 hands in a row. I never played poker before trying out Breakout because I don't care for card games. I found it fun when people actually played, but if it's a standard for people to just fold endlessly then I'm not interested.

There are quite a lot of people who register to the tournament and then aren't able to play the tournament for whatever reason, so they are sitting out. Also keep in mind that it's very common and good strategy to play tight in a 10 seat tournament folding 20 hands in a row isn't that uncommon. I agree that it's sometimes quite boring to watch people fold around in no limit holdem tournaments, that's why I suggested earlier to have Pot limit omaha tournaments added to the schedule, PLO has way more action and is imo much more fun game than No limit holdem.

I am thinking of one time in particular when 3 players kept folding while 1 played, then as soon as the 1 was out the 3 played out one at a time. I also ran into them playing multiple tables so I don't think it had much to do with not having time. I think it's much more likely that all 4 of those players were controlled by the same person.

I forgot I was playing once and just left. I can see how that would have me folding over and over. Although, any time I walk away and miss a hand I get asked if I'm still there and have to click to confirm. I don't know what happens if you don't click it for a long time, though. I do understand that some people may not have time to play but this was some obvious multiaccounting.

I have played many times where the entire table is folding every hand. So I would call every hand and win. Sometimes winning 20+ hands in a row. I'm failing to see the strategy in this.
One game I went all-in every hand. I was trying to lose. I wanted to go to bed. I ended up knocking multiple people out. People have folded to the point where they went all-in by default.

So what you're telling me is. This is all normal?

This. Although, folding 20 hands in a row is tight for even the nittiest of nits. I would say those people are just sitting out of the game.

Poker is a very popular game, but it's not for everybody. Purely for fun, PLO is a much better game.

I found the game fun regardless of the type of poker being played, as long as people were actually playing the game. Maybe it's a group working together. Skype or something. Who knows, but my 4 years of auditing logs for a video game says they're multis.

A lot of the people registering are probably not poker players but people trying to get some BRK for doing nothing. Top 200 get paid BRK so if less than 200 people register, they are guaranteed BRK just for registering.

-tb-

I am sorry but I don't think this is correct as I have finished 21, 23, 25 in some BRK tournaments and get no reward. I believe top 7 gets rewarded. I really don't know how it's rewarded but for sure if 40 people participate in a 200 entrants game then 199 position should get a reward. I am actually not a poker player but I am having fun, learning and not losing anything.

Thanks
