ive been playing poker for over 20 years...

wow
you must be a pretty old chick to have been playing poker 20 years.
A lot of guys start playing casually with friends while in their teens or even younger. OP is most likely 32-55

But she could've started when she was 50 and is currently 70. Are bitcoins exclusively a young womans game??

[...], or stay out of those pots until it's just the more reasonable people left in the game.

Trouble is by then everyone's got twice as many chips as me.
This is true.  Cheesy

What does "sucked out" mean?

When someone has a much worse hand than you but calls your big bet anyway when they really should have folded, and then proceeds to get just the card(s) he needs to beat you, he has "sucked out" on you.

Say I have 2d 7d, and you have 5c 5s.  The flop comes 2s Kd 5h.  I have a pair of 2s, you have trip 5s.  I bet, you raise, I put you all-in and you call.  Then we see Qd 8d on the turn and river.  I've sucked out on you by catching a runner runner flush.

The reason you see a lot of suck outs on seals, especially on the freerolls, is that people are playing any two cards a lot of the time, and not caring whether they lose because there's another freeroll in less than an hour.  Play for play money on any poker site and you'll see the same thing over and over.
Ah, thanks for the explanation.  I kind of gathered that general idea from reading through other comments on this thread, but that clears it up 100% for me.  And yes, the freerolls are particularly bad for this.  I usually either do the same (bet all-in almost every hand from the start), or stay out of those pots until it's just the more reasonable people left in the game.

ive been playing poker for over 20 years... and i do fairly well.   ive been playing at sealswithclubs for the last few days and i have never been sucked out so often by lesser hands. i will never play anything but a freeroll there again. every time i am heavily favored it never fails that runner runner comes for someone that has no business in the hand....  if you want to have fun and play free rolls thats fine a good...but if youre a serious poker player i recomend staying fAR away from this site.....unreal.

The play on Seals is very loose, so you're going to get sucked out on with more frequency. The upside to this is when your hand does hold up, you'll win a larger pot.

What about if they're cheating? They don't show any hashes,seeds or other info about the deck/hand right? They could have one or more bots at each table playing. The bot could either play while "seeing" everyone's cards along with the deck, or the deck/bot's hand could even be manipulated in the bot's favor.

If you make sure to always get it in with the worst odds you'll be the only one sucking out ;-)

Yes people are probably gambling instead of playing poker.  You shouldn't complain and just tighten up and you'll make more money.  Just play by pot odds and only go all-in with the nuts.  I used to play lot's of penny-poker on PokerStars and made lots.
Exactly - it's a different demographic of players.  Don't complain that you aren't playing with pro's - just learn to adapt to the strategies that people are using on it, and make money accordingly.  Wink

I play there from time to time.  I am not a pro poker player, nor do I play often.  It works just fine for me, I guess.
