Zynga Poker Flaw #1

Why is Zynga poker so fun? Because the program is designed to make you win often when you join. Simple but effective. That is why so many people play. However, there are those who exploit this feature. They have a main account with millions, perhaps even a few billion chips. They then open a new account, feed millions into it (chip dumping), and play on tables that will net them as much chips as possible. This works often because its a new account. In fact, several players believe that these frauds are employed by Zynga. Maybe. Just look at some of the comments on Zynga's fanpage. You tell me.

Regardless, there are ways to spot these Zynga frauds.

 

1. Strange name
2. They have only been a player for a few months or less or they have not played very many hands compared to the amount of chips they have.
3. They risk 50% to 100% of their total chips on the table
4. They go all in preflop with cards like Q7, 69, K8, 22, and they win. Especially on the river.
5. They have less than 5 'poker buddies'
6. I did not circle the percentage of 'Sit N Go's Won' in this example. You will notice that many of the frauds will have a zero in this category. The zynga fraud I chose in this pic has a very good percentage, but they have been a player for less than a month, and I beat him with ease because he is not skilled. The likely reason was that he won 1 out of 6 tournaments.

When you join a table, look at the profiles of the other players. You will find the Zynga frauds in advance. Don't call their All In preflop raises. Even if you have AA there is a high likelihood that you will be beaten by a straight, flush, or full house.

Will Zynga correct this flaw? Maybe, but there are obvious advantages if they don't. First, they can boast about they amount of players they have, and there are many of these frauds posing as players. Second, if the rumor that these frauds are employed by Zynga is true, then it is unlikely that Zynga will crack down on them. Third, they do a very important job. They win hands with cards so poor, that it may be considered pure luck by the players that lost. We know this is not the case, but this makes the loser want to play more to get their chips back. Remember, Zynga's goal is to get as many players as they can to play as often as possible. This is what makes a never ending game successful.
