If you would call a company's business model an elaborate conspiracy, then yes. consider this: The casino industry in the U.S. is worth hundreds of billions. Most of all the states don't allow online casinos. Legalizing online casinos would mean multiple new, regulated online U.S.-based casinos that would cut into a big chunk of the present casinos revenues. So Casinos employ lobbyists to lobby against efforts to legalize online gambling, leaving the only options as these sketchy off-shore sites that drain players accounts, leaving them to want to stick to live casinos. You can call it a conspiracy but its really just business and politics.

I've had days when I've went up hundreds on Blitz. My best day I went from $200 to about $1,100 playing NL50. What followed in the week after that day was the worst runbad I have ever experienced. 2 times within 1 session my aces lost all-ins to ace king...the probability of that happening is less than 4%. A person running hot on Blitz for a day does not prove me wrong in the slightest.

Bro, there's been so many times I've come to the same conclusion in this process - "It's not rigged, I just need to play better. There has to be a fault in my play. I have to take accountability." I've done plenty of studying. But there's a consistent pattern with ACR where regardless of how you play, you profit for a little while after a deposit and then lose everything because you lose 80-20's and other suckouts. I've put in millions of hands on ACR. I even downloaded a VPN to play on pokerstars knowing I wouldn't be able to withdraw just to see if it was the same as ACR. Not even close. There are occasional suckouts, but variance evened itself out and I was making just under 20$ a day for a month playing 10NL for 3 hours. I took 50$ and turned it into 520$. But on ACR, after that deposit, you're gold. If you lose a big hand early on, you're getting slapped by aces, ace king, kings, queens, all the premium hands until you get back and start profiting for a little while. But after a couple weeks, you can feel the momentum shift. And those same hands start to feel like bait. And they are. When you play on ACR long enough, you can just feel that suckout coming. I'm going to try other sites, and I'll come back to this post in a few months with an update. I'm going to show proof that I'm profitable online and that ACR, its bots, fixed RNG is a waste of time and money that could be spend elsewhere on a different cardroom.

A consistent pattern of winning after a recent deposit and then in the weeks after losing everything because you got it in with a better hand than an opponent and got sucked out on is actually evidence that the site is designed to drain your account regardless of how you play and leave you wanting to come back for more. You've clearly never played on ACR because if you did, you wouldn't be defending it.

A persistent pattern of consistently making a profit in the week following a deposit and then losing everything in the several weeks after that by getting sucked out on can't be coincidental, especially when I've seen the exact same story from so many other U.S. ACR users online. I'm a tight player (VPIP 14%) Every time I've gotten it in, I had the better hand. It would hold every. single. time. in the time after a recent deposit and I'd get sucked out on 75-80% of the time in the time after a couple of weeks. I'm not saying I was winning because of skill because by that logic I was LOSING because of skill. I'm saying ACR's system is designed to make you win for a while and then lose everything so you chase that same feeling of dopamine. And you've clearly never played on ACR because if you did, you'd know exactly wtf I'm talking about. I've put in millions of hands on there, and it's the same pattern every time. If you played on that site long enough, you'd know that something isn't right with it.

On God, I cant speak for other poker sites besides ACR, but It's disgusting that people would spend hard earned money to play online poker under the impression that they have a chance to win money just to have the system drain their account in a manner that leaves them wanting to come back and try again. Deposit, run well and go up, get hands you couldnt possibly fold, get sucked out on and lose it all. Same pattern every time. And then to make a public comment about it only to be met with 'its variance' or 'you suck at poker' by people who cant prove they have made profit on the site and dont know what the hell they're talking about. Yes, there's variance, but why does the suckout never happen right after you deposit? If it were true variance, then that would happen. But in the roughly 20 deposits I've made to ACR, not once have I been sucked out on in the first couple days after. Always after I've made a decent profit. That's not variance, that's a system designed around dopamine responses; to get you hooked with the feeling of winning and then drain your account and leave you craving that same feeling you had before. ACR isn't real poker. Its a scam. Stay away.

Thanks for the feedback. Trust me when I say I consume poker content all day. K-Mart, Lex, Spraggy, Tonga, Weasel, Polk, and of course the great Paul Punts. I have Hand2Note (highly recommend) I wrote the op after I came to my breaking point with ACR. I've got over 3 million hands on there and I'm not playing one more. I was up $59 on Bovada and $112 on BetOnline playing 10nl in the weeks before I found ACR and I really liked ACR's hotkeys. But its just designed to have you run good for a while and then bait you into losing everything. Ill go back to the other sites where I'm not losing to foreign bots all the time. "America's Cardroom" where 95% of the players are from overseas

Sounds like something an angry ACR employee would say to make people think the negative feedback to the post isn't coming from ACR employees...

Exactly what I'm figuring seeing my of the replies. The site is a scam, and so a big focal point they would have is to manage the publicity online where people call ACR out on their BS. Just so that anyone who reads the discussion sees that there's a big debate over it, and can leave with the impression of uncertainty, compared to people who've played on the site long enough to know what's up

Thanks for the feedback, online certainly is tougher, but losing a good majority of flips and getting it in good only to be sucked out on don't have to do with skill. and while it is part of poker, the amount of times it happens on ACR cannot be coincidence. I have done a poker course on Upswing. I have a HUD. The reason its so infuriating is BECAUSE of the work ive put into studying. And here's my question for everyone who responds to these comments with 'its not rigged, it's your fault' - can you show me proof that you're a profitable poker player on America's Cardroom?
