Lol this website is so fishy. Love the bolded “facebook chips” never mentionng which poker application.

“you dont want to be a facebook donkey do you?” such a bad writer, trying to establish a non existant social norm and build off peoples fears ..

Who is paying you to make these poorly written articles that attempts to brainwash us with failing attempt at misdirection ??

I don”t know if you”re being paid by zynga poker To write this condescending and apathetic article or if you have never played a real poker game… Anyone who can calculate odds know this game is rigged, in different ways than you think. (also the fact that they only use “play” money so they don’t invest in a good pseudo probability calculator).

Try playing a round of poker stars, or a real poker game, the way you play zynga poker…you will almost definitely lose..
Also You mIght want to research how zynga has been successfully sued multiple times for scammng people.

Typed this crap on an iPhone.

Yes, play zynga poker for fun but for serious players like myself, the game can become infuriating.
And please don”t be so close minded to immediately denounce my comment as just a sore player.

I think i will have to agree with terry and alan; it seems as though there are certain spurts when all the ace kings, ace queens never win to the guy that has the 2,5. Another one I notice is zygna will give three different people pocket pairs then a flush willcome up.

I understand chance; I am taking stats 2, in a Ph.D. progam right now, however, as stated in the post above mine, the new guys, and the people with hardly no chips win more; especially on stupid hands. I bet statistically if you were to run an ANOVA on the percentage of hands won as your (DV) and your levels obtained as your (IV), 5 catigories: (Lev 1) 1-10, (Lev 2) 10-25, (Lev 3) 25-40, (Lev 4) 40-60, (Lev 5) 60-100. I bet you would find significant mean differences between the 1 level and level 2,3,4.

not completely sure, but I bet, not a poker pun, that you would.

Asian and Eastern European dudes do not buy chips. There is no point buying chips because it shows that you are not a good player. What is the point of playing poker. It is to accumulate the maximum number of chips. So of course we go all in in the first round because it is either bust or glory. If it’s bust we just participate in other activities. If it is glory, we have something to brag about. But at least most of us have the integrity not to buy chips because what is the point of accumulating so many chips if we do not win them by playing.

Terry is exactly right. Zynga poker is set-up with script formulas that run the game. There is no “randomness” at all. If you play long enough, and you’re used to paying attention to cards, you’ll begin to notice patterns that do not happen in the real world. In one hour of playing, I see more straights than I’ve ever seen occur in a year in the real world. If you get pocket face cards, the up cards are guaranteed to be numbers, usually leading to someone landing a straight. If you get pocket numbers, the winner will draw a pair or triple Aces Queens or Kings, or the ubiquitous straight. Every time. And like Terry pointed out, your “luck” is directly proportional to the amount of chips you have (bought). Got a stockpile? Plan for a losing streak. Lose 75% of that pile? You’ll enjoy a short winning streak; suddenly you can’t lose. Get down to 20,000 chips or lower, and you will have a devastating slide to bust, regardless of how disciplined you are. This is designed so that you’ll buy more chips. The only way to consistently build chips at Zynga’s Texas HoldEm Poker is to not play and let your daily chip allowance build up. I still play it because it’s sometimes fun, but I’ll never buy chips again. My strategy now is not to win the most, but to lose the least. This wont last, and as soon as my chips are gone I’m done.

BTW, what’s up with all the Eastern European and Asian dudes always going all in on the first round? Like, every deal?

This is a crock. Zynga poker is rigged so that you will lose and buy chips. It’s all about the MONEY. When you first start playing you win alot. They get you hooked so to say. Then you find yourself on horrible losing streaks all the time. This isn’t by chance. You are playing with Zynga bots and they don’t lose. The more you lose,Zynga is hoping you will buy chips. God forbid if you do,because as soon as you do you will experience the longest losing streak you have ever seen. Again the more you lose,the more Money they make.

facebook poker players are a universe unto themselves, although some of the higher tables have decent players I have to admit, and the gameplay is quite fun
