Weekly Tournament Triple Up!

After a nice hiatus, I came back to the Zynga Weekly Tournament. Today I tripled up! Not much chips, but you know what the Chip Taker is capable of.

Check out the photo. Instagram style.

 Boom! Just tripled up again. I have 30K now. Posting while I'm playing. Got two kills on this play too. I know you love 4 of a kind 8's, it's a classic Chip Taker hand.

Ha, another Weekly Tournament double up. 80K now. Only problem is I have things to do. We'll see if I can squeeze in some more tourney time.

I took a bag of chips from Sherri. Now I'm over 100K. Thx Sherri. Now I'm trying to switch positions with George, but he's trying really hard to stay above 1 Million. Not for long Georgie...

Thx George. The good thing about Zynga's Weekly Tournament is there are plenty of players like George that are perfect for me to take chips from. Now he's trying to get back over 1 Million from a different seat.

Str8 Flush. James Bond style. Gimme that Daniel. 130K.

That's it this week. I'm going to smash these players now that I'm using my original weekly tournament formula.

Until next time.

Weekly Tournament Triple Up!

Does Anyone Still Play??

It's difficult to keep playing Zynga's Texas Holdem Poker. But I do because I enjoy taking player's chips. Does anyone else still play? I have over 50 friends that quit because..

You Frauds Will Lose

As you may be aware, I have declared war on cheaters playing Zynga Texas Holdem Poker. This was a 5 player tournament versus 4 players all on the same team. Or 1 player with 4 accounts. We may never know.

The first pic shows me getting a straight flush and taking chips. Thinking, "Why you no call??"

The next pic shows the final hand of the game. Read the chat and enjoy.

Do the math. They paid a total of 40 Million chips to enter this tournament. This 1 received 15 Million for 2nd place, the next 1 got his chips back, the other 2 lost all. They lost 15 Million chips trying to cheat me out of what I do best. Rookies.

Take from the rich and prey on the cheats.

You Frauds Will Lose

All in. All out.

She said she was watching the tv show Lost. Then she lost.

Isabella, you know it was me who knocked you out of the last tournament right?

All in. All out. 1st Place Strike.

All in. All out.

The Game has Changed

For all of you who have done well at Zynga's Texas Holdem Poker, you may have noticed that the game has changed. There are now an influx of 'beginners', not first time players, but players who started a new account to take advantage of these flaws in Zynga's game. They are frauds, and now they don't always appear on a table alone. To compensate for their lack of tournament knowledge, they roll in twos and threes. If they are on either side of you, one will raise. If you call, the other will reraise. If just two of them are in the hand and one has a lot more chips than the other, he will raise high for the other to call, then he will fold, to share the chips.

They do this boldly. They do not care what you think, they are cheating to win. They can be beaten, but you must be aware of other successful techniques, and use them with precision. Can you report them? If you wish. There may not be much time to do so if you are still playing.

Certain tricks that were almost guaranteed to make you win, don't always work anymore. These were tricks that required you to xxx a xxx of xxxxx in xxx xxxxxx. If you try it, you may look just as bad as these frauds if the cards in your hand are revealed. Even worse, you stand to lose a lot of chips, and no one wants that.

"Server Problems"

It's a little disturbing when you are poised to win a 1 Million chip Tournament, you are dealt pocket queens, when all of a sudden, you are no longer able to click any buttons.
Has this ever happened to you? In the middle of a game, you press the Check button, but your time keeps running out? Out of desperation you click Raise, Fold, anything in hopes of regaining control of your player.

It's happened to me several times, but what is interesting is that this is something that NEVER used to happen before. The response by players is, "Oh it's server problems".

Zynga needs to understand that if players are risking the chips they earned, and I must add that these chips have a monetary value, it is best that players lose their chips as a result of the game, not any problems as a result of interface or programming, or any other technical issues that Zynga is having.
Capiche?

Poker Fraud Part 2

 

I'm in round 2 of the Zynga Shootout against all fish and big dogs. Everything is 'All-In', especially from this guy. If you don't know why Fish always go all in with bad cards, read this. I had no chance this time, just 3rd place. Unfortunately for Qiw, he got 4th.

If you want a chance to win 50k, beat me in a tournament. Facebook search for Strike Strategy and tell me you read this blog post.

Joe's Chip Stack

Nice try Zynga. Unless my chips are $5, and his are $1

I guess I'm supposed to get jealous and buy $11.5M poker chips. :)

The iPhone Player Advantage

My buddy Chip let me in on a secret.

When you play Zynga's Texas Holdem on an iPhone, you:

• Can see all chat messages, including people who are not playing
• Are always seated in the same position in a tourney unless someone chooses the seat first
• If your buddy request is blocked, they can still send you one

How do you know you are playing against someone with an iPhone?

• You can tell if they are using the old iPhone app if the player has no pic.
• The 1st one is usually seated at the left side of the table near the dealer chip.
• They have no ranking (eg. Ace, Rounder, Champion) above their avatar.

Weekly Tournament Part 5

Why you should always play the Weekly Tournament.

This post has a much different opinion to this one

1. The Weekly Tournament is free.

2. You have gained skill and experience from regular tournaments.

3. You can enter and leave the Weekly Tournament anytime you want.

4. The more chips you take, the easier it gets.

5. To see your name higher on the win list than your friends.

6. You can potentially make millions from the Weekly Tournament payout.

7. You now receive a notification of your Weekly Tournament payout winnings on time.

8. The payout is now given to you quicker.

9. The payout seems to be close, or equal to the amount you make in the tournament.

10. You can play tighter because the blinds don't raise as quickly as a sit n go tourneys.

11. You get a chance to see some crazy hands like 4-of-a-kind, straight flushes, and full houses beating smaller full houses.

12. You are awarded for placing within the top 10% of all players entered.

13. You can complete the Weekly Warriors Challenge. If you and 5 of your poker buddies place in the top 5%, you will win 100,000 chips.

14. Did I mention that the Weekly Tournament is FREE??
