Bounty Hunter Kill

[Dalmore]

I’m extremely frustrated because in just a single day, I got hit by one streak of bad luck after another nonstop. OK Next Game

Someone needs to compile a full list of every star-marked ID that carries a bounty reward for eliminating them. How many of these bounty targets appear each day, which event time slots are the most crowded, and what the actual probability is of even getting seated at the same table as one of these bounty streamers — it’s probably lower than 1%.

 

Before getting eliminated right before the Final Table in a completely ridiculous and seemingly rigged hand, I had already lost a separate $100 bounty bonus earlier in another event because of another absurd miracle runout.

 

And in a different event, if I had won that decisive all-in pot, I would’ve climbed to a 4M stack with a real shot at taking first place.

 

The short stack with the star icon — the so-called “special player” because they’re a streamer for the platform — somehow always ends up making the strongest hand at the perfect moment. Meanwhile, regular players get crushed constantly. It doesn’t even need to be a multi-way all-in; even a simple heads-up all-in against someone covering you by 5x feels like an automatic 80% chance to lose no matter what cards you hold.

 

If this season ends — or even if I keep enduring until the Xmas season this year — and still achieve nothing meaningful, then maybe I should remove myself from all of this. Maybe this place was never truly meant to welcome me.

You should probably look into what poker variance actually means in a 10,000-player field

anyone who already wants to see the flop with 9/2 offsuit on the button should probably start questioning their overall poker game instead

Có lẽ bạn nên tìm hiểu xem sự biến động trong poker thực sự có nghĩa là gì trong một giải đấu có 10.000 người chơi.

Bất cứ ai đã muốn xem bài lật với đôi 9/2 không đồng chất ở vị trí button thì có lẽ nên bắt đầu xem xét lại trình độ chơi poker tổng thể của mình.

The problem is that this system basically forces everyone into an all-in-or-fold style during the last 15 minutes before late registration closes, no matter how trash the hands are, because this is only a qualifier stage.

A single player carrying a $100 bounty can even be worth more than finishing first after grinding 5–6 exhausting hours against thousands of players. The moment someone like that appears, everyone will dive in trying to steal the bounty. Just try shoving all-in and see if the whole table jumps in or not.

The next issue is that whenever I get covered in chips, it feels almost predetermined that I’ll lose in the most absurd ways possible regardless of the hand strength. Trash hands constantly get “drawn into” two pairs, straights, flushes, small pairs crack big pairs, weak AX hits one of its 3 outs against stronger AX — and after experiencing this hundreds of times, I’ve honestly gone numb. I don’t even have the energy left to rage or complain anymore.

This site, in general, feels terrible. It constantly manufactures ridiculous runouts just to force losses in the dumbest ways imaginable. There’s no real sense of randomness or skill here anymore — only setups and gambling variance. High-level players would never seriously stay in environments like this anyway; they’re busy playing million-dollar Main Events elsewhere.

Maybe you were simply lucky in that hand because the system wanted you to stay alive for a few more minutes before getting taken out by another garbage setup afterward.

I’ve lost with KK and AA all-in preflop against trash hands so many times while being covered in chips that I honestly can’t even remember the number anymore, so spots like that don’t feel special to me at all.

It becomes a programming issue and a mathematical randomness issue.

I don’t think this place resembles real poker anymore. It operates more like a roulette wheel built on pure luck, gambling, and bigger-vs-smaller outcomes — nothing more.

If there’s truly something wrong with the system, it’s that after grinding day and night without sleep just trying to fight for a few tickets and seats, I’m still only walking away with scraps of money.

Nobody is holding you back, you can go play somewhere else 🙂
