Standard way I lose on 888Poker
I am the guy betting in position, QQ pre-flop all in on the caller who raises initially. Based on their VPIP of over 70% I called a fish move out of position and was right, they had 5/6 offsuit flop hits and I am pretty much drawing dead (1 of 2 remaining Q's or J/J runner). I am kind of getting used to it now, even late in tournaments, but would love to know if anyone has any tips for 888Poker, it';s not really fun when the fish get the run of the river way more times than variance would suggest is possible.

Today's runner runner winner, pre flop all in from the 5's 8 2 Calls, AJ gotta call, AJ suited I'm in, K 4 suited is. a loose call at best if they have everyone covered, but no and they call regardless, the 5's fair call, the 8 2 suited the last hand that should be there. Flop comes, K 4 goes all in, 8 2 calls with bottom pair behind against all hands bar the one that just shoved and hit's runner runner, variance yeah, but you look at the number of hands they have played and see this is a constant fish, calling when behind the hitting out, is the algorithm that whack on 888Poker?
Hi mate welcome to Cardmates.co.uk
Regarding the first hand, it’s a bit unclear how the turn and river were played, but overall, it’s really hard to believe they had 56. The second one is pretty standard. It’s difficult to hold up against three opponents.
I get that, it's just the regularity at which the hand which has the least right to be there run's out the winner, like there's a donkey call reward system in play. I guess until I build up some bank I just gotta play super nit in the freerolls lol and hope the fish swim into my net rather than hitting runner runner 😀
Now TBF before I start the days moan, I have never deposited at 888Poker, only started playing again last week after 20+ years, have won a few tickets ($33 was best one) and have a $10 balance, but who doesn't like some cheese with their whine.
Not that much to describe really, folded around to me, smooth called hoping for the shipper next to me to ship, they raised 4x so I shoved after folded around to me. As expected nicely ahead, flop is dry, then what do you know jack on the end. To be doubly fair it is at least playing better than GG Poker today, made it to heads up in a sit n go, get called all in 3 times ahead 2-1 on all 3 loose to weaker hands then last hand my KA runs into and loses to Q's. First hand they were short stacked I went all in with pocket A's they called with 4 6 off got a 5 n 7 on the flop and the 8 on turn. Spat my dummy and threw my toys no mre GG Poker today thanks!
