The differences on how people play differently on free sites as opposed to how they play on real money sites aren’t theories. For the most part players at the lowest stakes online play similarly to how they play here, but they aren’t the same as you move up in stakes. Actually risking something is vastly different than risking nothing.

I was responding to whether or not the push chart odds applied to AK shove pre flop on a free site, not whether or not someone with nothing to lose calls you with a bad hand, then hits it one out of twenty times, and now you are upset and call them a bingo player. None of that that should change the way you play, if you know what you’re doing. People that play bad are feeder fish, if we can’t acknowledge that I can’t help here, you should be nice to the bad players, without them you would have less chips. As soon as someone at the table calls a raise with a bad hand, I know where I am getting some.

I don’t disparage players at the tables. This is a forum, and if you can’t tell the difference, then that’s your issue. Most chips won at tables are from fish. Few mention position or stack sizes in their posts related to AK shoving. Shoving in late position after you’ve seen what your opponents are doing, maybe, but it’s better to build the pot and maybe shove on flop or turn. All in to just win blinds is dumb. That’s a lot of risk for an incredibly small reward. If you’re referring to GTO charts, unless you are playing against very good players that are doing the same thing, then most of GTO goes right over the heads of most players and they aren’t thinking at high levels like a very good player is.

Not true. Online video poker sites use an RNG with throw’s your chart out the window.
@MinnowShark Clearly you are an educated person, I am having trouble interpreting your first two sentences, I understand that pattern analysis of RNG and GTO show that both have flaws, I did state stack size and position on the AK push subject, and I am pretty sure that is what this forum is about, so I guess I am one of the few you refer too. I don’t agree with Craigs statement that an RNG is going to shuffle the 52 cards different than a human, I do agree that a percentage change happens to the number of calls you receive on a free site, for me that’s a good thing.

How unique is a random shuffle?
The chances that anyone has ever shuffled a pack of cards (fairly) in the same way twice in the history of the world, or ever will again, are infinitesimally small. The number of possible ways to order a pack of 52 cards is ’52!’ (“52 factorial”) which means multiplying 52 by 51 by 50… all the way down to 1. The number you get at the end is 8×10^67 (8 with 67 ‘0’s after it), essentially meaning that a randomly shuffled deck has never been seen before and will never be seen again.

It’s bingo to go all in at poker if you do it continuously it’s not sometimes it’s more profitable to go all in with ak or high pairs. on some occasions, although it is not usually the most profitable since you do not let them bluff you or pay you marginal hands that you can get a couple of blinds from
@Craig_Anthony so are u stating that Replays RNG is not Random? Please explain to us whom are trying to figure out why your statement of knowing all about how that a Random deal of a deck is a different kind of random?
P.S Being the “owner” of a Poker room has absolutely Nothing to do with Poker Knowledge i.e , Miriam Adelson or even Former Pres Trump … Nice try though

Some people have charisma, you cant buy it or win it, you either have it or you don’t, I think Craig has it, nothing to do with poker though so I will be quiet now, :0)

I’m addressing rain saying that the posted chart is no comparison to a free online video poker site and a live dealer. You may think they are both the same odds but they are not.
You can’t compare a deck shuffled by a free video poker site with some RNG certification with a deck shuffled by a real person as in ( professional dealer ) . Do you understand that ?

No b/c Random is Random and these charts are built by analyzing extremely large pools of hands and are used by both online and live game players. It just is the way it is sorry
That is “assuming” that the RNG is “random” which I have witnessed u defend many times here. So what is it @Craig_Anthony u can’t have it both ways?

This thread is beyond hilarious! POKER STRATEGY then add bingo and a range of UBER premium, then season with a little conspiracy theory. This sounds like a Poker TV show. Big BANG BTO Poker Theory!
Maybe it should be combined with the fairness debate thread.
I would say off topic but, Poker Strategy and Bingo is a Topic? A friend told me years ago, many times there is a good post created by @love2eattacos about bingo strategy I think, unless I’m wrong. This was years ago and I wish I could find it but…
You need to figure in “ Human Error “ so that chart is not accurate for online video poker vs live dealers in a real cash game I’ve seen dealers drop cards and no one notices until it’s too late and one card missing from the deck changes everything.
Yes I always defend Replays RNG Certification.
Let me get this straight, by your method of human random shuffling being different, if the dealer clumps cards in an act of random shuffling, then the randomly shuffled cards are no longer random but human random, therefore no longer being random, just random human randomness. And that’s different from RNG random, that is random of which they randomly shuffle without clumping or dropping a card, I see your point, are you familiar with the term cognitive dissonance? best of luck on your math test. I give up.
Of course I do.

Doesn’t apply in my case.
Please stay focused and positive and make this an enjoyable conversation.
