I would recommend against playing here. I'm usually not one to claim a site is rigged but I've seen some truly absurd hands on this site, like dealing the exact card on the river that gives one guy a straight, another a flush, and another a full house. You should be getting roughly the same number of pocket pairs but queens seem to show up the most, followed by jacks, then tens and Kings, then aces, and the rest at a lower clip. One tournament I played we were at the final table, five left I got, in order: aa, kk, qq, qq. I've seen multiple other times where pocket aces were delt to the same player two hands in a row. When you do get queens it seems like ak shows up for someone else. Pocket aces don't seem to hold up as often as the should. Ive seen ak vs aq small blind vs big blind more times than I could believe. I would love to see an in-depth statistical analysis for the hands this site deals.
Also, their mobile software is absolute trash. The app will force sign you out suddenly when you're in the middle of a hand. It happens at random, some days it won't happen at all, some days it'll do it 5 or 6 times. If you hop out of the app to send a text or whatever, when you jump back half the screen will go black and you need to restart the app and sign back in.
Decided to just cash out while I was still ahead, and it was a hassle. They wouldn't allow me to withdraw until I sent them a picture of a voided check. They had no trouble with me depositing from that bank account, but suddenly they want to make sure it's really me when I withdraw. Also took over a week to get the money, which is absurd in 2021. Pokerstars gives me my money immediately, and without hoops to jump through.
If you live in NJ I would recommend Pokerstars instead, much better software, customer service, and actually believable hands. It's a shame because the games can be pretty soft on WSOP, with the exception of the higher buy-in tournaments. The main strategy of many players seems to be to get it in with the worst of it and suck out.
Maybe I'm wrong, it's possible I've just seen a ridiculous string of hands that were perfectly legit. But I won't go back without seeing some data on the hands there.
