I play a hell of a lot of live poker as well as cash online, but I never ever see the amount of suckouts in live games.

Now I know the main reason is due to people in live games wont be calling all ins with bottom pair and gutshots and hitting, but every other hand here, someone hits a 2 or 3 outer.

I guess if people only played premium hands this would be different, but its almost impossible without being extremely lucky to get out from the lower tables. If i push with the best hand preflop it rarely holds up. I'm roughly 60-40 to win these and probably win about 30-40% of the time.

Futhermore, you play at 100/200 and people just call your raises with anything. E.g Raise to 1400 with AK (7 times BB) and i got called by J5, he wins pot. Next hand, pocket 7's raise to 1800 (9 x BB), he calls with J4 and hits 2 pair..

While I should probably vary my game and start flat calling a lot more, and yes I know its a free poker site, but the first hand im 60-40 and 2nd hand probably 70-30, I shouldnt be consistantly losing both. My big pocket pairs don't often hold up even against just one caller.

I don't know if its me getting paranoid, but if this shit happened in real life, there would be a lot less people playing poker as it's their money that is being risked with these fake odds.

@Thfc111 :
- first, the randomness of the 'dealer' HAS BEEN tested and validated YEARS AGO... (search a little on this forum).
- second, ur trying to compare things which DON'T MATCH together... Comparing Gpokr to 'real poker' is just STUPID, as the ppls ARE different (and the goals of these ppls are also different). So trying to match a 'normal play' on 'Gpokr play' (with statistics and so on), is NON-SENSE...
Yes, the stats are THE SAME (numerically), but NO, the way u manage these stats is DIFFERENT between Gpokr and 'real poker'.

In 'real poker' there is little diff between 'theorical stats' (so theorical plays) and 'real plays'. On Gpokr, that diff is GREAT (just because ppls don't follow the stats), so THIS IS A DIFFERENT GAME. Point.

Forget comparing Gpokr to 'real poker' (or "real life" as u mentionned). It's just as stupid as comparing actors in a movie with real persons (even if the movie is based on real story).

The bottom line is if you really know how to play this game DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT play here very much ESPECIALLY if you play in real money games anywhere. The game here will only give you bad habits. You can't beat stupid players.
