Usual 888 bias to chip leader in bounty game
Chip leader goes all in 6 hands in a row any 2 cards. This time I call his 53 off with A4 and flop 2 pair against his pair of threes. Not good enough for 888 the chip leader must win so he hits a 3 on the river for trips. Ready to give in happens too often. Donkeys keep getting rearded for donkey play

That sucks, my favourite is showing what would have been the winning hand, that I deemed unplayable pre-flop, to the chip/table lead half a dozen times, finally getting a hand and they finally have a hand or suck out on me. I am going to write something hopefully for tomorrow to help mix up our play and improve our odds, a framework for an excel spreadsheet, with code examples and suggestions for the simple one tab fits all to different tabs per position and maybe even stage. It will incorporate a suggestion for using an RNG every X no of hands to play random tat as it's always the 6 hands in a row I ditched that would have won that incite me to back a good but non-premium hand. It should also add an element of confusion to your range.
888 tables are so frustrating. I find it amazing how he came to decide to go all in with 53o 🤔
I feel for you smudge 👊🫶
If it makes it any less painful, they were actually the pre-flop favourite based on the cards taht are all in. I am guessing this is due to only one overcard and two aces out there. However post flop yeah massive dog. Certainly in the freerolls people seem far too willing to go all in with an unmade hand, probably because of how often they hit. I think 3 times yesterday I had people all in with 5% equity and 1% of that was a split pot and 3 times the board rescued them by delivering two over pairs and an ace or a straight. I put this down to the number of players to the flop every hand though stands to reason if 5 players are in two may have similar ish hand that hit parts/all of the same flop. AK and K 10 seem to be common duplicate hands for me but that is probably down to my range.
Weirdly when I am chip lead, I don't use bullying tactics,or get out of line, if anything I shut down a bit and people try to then bite into me every hand.
Pre-Flop
Post flop
OMG just played my first freeroll of the day, doubled up off same guy 2 hands in a row, could have wiped him if I'd played the 3rd but no I'm not a fish. By hand ten have his 9 2 off all in against queens 9 2 off is good. Shove what's left with A 10 Calls with K 7 that has missed flop by a mile, hits a king on river. It really does not feel like variance, try it yourself, Call up every hand and every flop bet and see how many rounds you last I can't make a full round of the table using their tactics, yet the same people last over an hour in tournaments doing this and make final tables?
2nd freeroll AJ suited pre flop raise to 400 everyone folds except the 89 off that shoves obviously 89 makes a 5-9 straight because any more and would have connected with my J for better straight. So the argument about it being 3/4 up is gone, at this point am with you on the quit it front. Can't get any pleasure from continually getting crushed by volume players shipping all-in every hand and running like that for an hour plus. 89 off that was a 2-1 dog spent the entire time from the river straight landing to me leaving the table firing off haha emojis, either these modern players are psycho's or 888poker has more than it's fair share of minors playing poker. I'd love to get these players all in a live event and see how they are then. Hope you find something better to fill the time, I'm off to mow the lawn!
Don't think I'll bother with the how-to now.
