A new way NOT to play poker - AKA cheating on this site
Well, I have suspected this for a few days, but I am CERTAIN of it now...some people are playing multiple hands at the same table to increase their chances of "winning". This is really sad - REALLY sad. Again, it makes me wonder why they even play because rigging the game isn't playing the game and isn't even difficult to do. I have noticed multiple times where the same two players are on a table with me (and 1 or 2 other players). The two in question always bet on the same hands and follow a pattern of betting and folding to maximize the winnings of one of them (and the losing of the other players at the table). It is always the SAME one of the pair that ends up winning (unless one of the other players beats the rigged game). Most of the time the "second" player folders after betting on the River driving other players out - then the "first player" (the designated winner) re-raises and the "second" player folds. AND they only follow this pattern if there are other players playing and betting on the hand. There are a couple of other variations to this scenario, but they all work basically the same and end up with the "first" player winning (unless someone else ends up winning by some fluke). It took a while for me to make certain this is what is going on, but now I am positive this is happening. I guess all it takes is one person with two computers on the same desk and a desire to cheat more than the desire to actually play the game.
