I do enjoy playing on your site, except for 2 things. They are.........
1. People going all in in freerolls and sng's first few hands. Takes the skill out of the game and makes it like russian roulette. I wish sattelittes were limit more instead of no limit, especially for Aussie Millions and such. If you made just the 1st round of these qualifiers limit, it would be fine. Would weed the bad players out right away and make it more of a test and a challenge for the good players.
2. The seemingly rediculous amount of bad beats that I have seen and experienced. It's amazing how many hands with less than a 5 percent chance of winning ending up pulling it out on this site. Is there ANY way to update or make your card programming more exact to the actual odds. When a person gets not 1, but 2 one card outs to avoid elimination in the space of 5 minutes it seems to be a little odd. I can see people getting lucky, but getting lucky and being REDICULOUSLY lucky like I have seen on this site makes me wonder just HOW good the "random" card shuffling really is.
Anyone with any comments or opinions PLEASE feel free to reply.
Good Luck Playing Everyone !!!!

your spelling of "rediculous" is the most ridiculous part of your post.

IMHO>>>>
Most are always willing to share all there BAD BEATS with others....
If all the GOOD BEATS / SUCK OUTS were posted or shared, I believe we would find it very close in numbers. At least that's been my expierence,
since playing here for over a year...... 8)

Step back take a look at how you play the game. I would bet my bankroll that you are playing badly.

Firstly - Freerolls are FREE believe it or not. AND you can play in as many as you like. Y not go all in first few hands? its not costing you a cent and if you lose you can enter the next one. I dont play them myself but see no problem with that. Making them limit will make no difference. People will reraise until they are all in. because they are FREEROLLS.
Secondly - Weigh up ure odds... Running one card outers?? flop is already on the table and assuming your playing 9 handed thats 3 cards on the table and 16 in other peoples hands with 2 in ure hand. You say u KNOW they were one outers so if u minus that 21 from the 52 cards you get 31 cards left. So running one card outers is approx 1 in 31 multiplied by 31 which is 1 in 961. Unlikely yes. But people win the lottery at 14,000,000 to 1 chance. So is it that unlikely you will see it now and again? maybe once every 961 times someone needs running 1 outers???

Your post is a sure sign of a brain damage, and may cause cancer in others.

Going all in early is a valid strategy in freerolls and lo-stakes SNGs. Your goal is to build a stack that can withstand the blinds so you can play a tighter strategy for the rest of the game.
As has been said, its a gamble, but if you have nothing or very little to lose, the odds of your hand may demand an all-in.
Also, in order to reach the final table there will typically be several all-ins that you will have to survive. They will be forced upon you by a combination of rising blinds, people that will try to force you off your hand and monster hands that you can use to eliminate others - which is the whole idea of the game, by the way.
It's an exciting part of the game
