High rated players

It has become more and more apparent over the last few months that the high rated players (rankings between 450,000 and 550,000 who have been on the site for many years) now appear to be getting all the appropriate cards to keep winning the hands and in some cases winning a tournament even though they could not be rated as good players if they only have a minimum amount of chips after years of playing

I know I am not the only player to have noticed this and if it was only occasionally it would not be an issue but it seems to be happening on a very regular basis which to say the least seems a bit suspicious

What are your thoughts on this?

You/re assuming the 450,000 - 550,000 players are terrible players.

Players go broke from time to time, even the higher-ranking players.

Tiggy especially and Goatsoup went broke a lot.

So, they had those 450,000 - 550,000 rankings for a moment too.

Their mindset on how they approached Replay had a lot to do with it.

They simply enjoyed the challenge and the action and didn’t care to

play conservatively throughout.

It’s not suspicious.

It’s a natural ebb and flow, like the tide.

Patience is the moon.

The players that win are using patience to their advantage.

The players that lose are playing every hand.

If you fold the first 20 hands, and double up on the 21 ST hand,

you would be very close, if not be leading that tournament.

My thoughts are the opposite. Those low-ranked players (and you mean low, not high) are just chip donors. They don’t win much and when they do they lose it all quicker than they win it.

There are certainly regulars at my tables that are always low-ranked. They are 555,000 one day, then 38,000 the next (one decent cash at 20k will do that) and then back down to 575,000 the next. They are ankle-biters, chip donors. The site is not slanted their way at all.

sigh

I notice this too

I’ve noticed some streaky patterns too, but I think variance can play tricks on us, especially when we’re already frustrated or on a losing streak. Still, it wouldn’t hurt if Replay clarified how their RNG works or addressed concerns like this more openly. Transparency would probably ease a lot of minds.

Rank is only how many chips you have. Just play your cards and enjoy! When you lose that’s Poker players lose not everyone can in the hand.
