The more I play Zynga poker, the more sure I am that it is rigged and not for real. The hands and potential hands (before folding) are so much better than my actual experience playing poker. Now in Zynga poker when I'm dealt a good hand like pocket kings (which happens a bit too often) I'm worried that the program is trying to encourage me to just bet more, and then lose to someone else's (totally amazing!!) flush draw. There are close to zero flops where I dont have a chance for something. In normal poker if you stay in with 9,10, the flop will often be something like 3, 5, K, so you've got no chance to create a nice hand. In Zynga this no chance flop almost NEVER happens. The odds on the unlikely Zynga fops and hands occurring in real life poker are too close to zero for the game to be really random. The clinched is that there are loads of COMPLETE IDIOTs playing. They bet all their money on relatively so so hands. If it were realistic, they would all lose their money over the course of time. But.....they don't.

I just played another Zynga sit 'n go poker tournament. 9 players. I folded every single hand (about 30 of them) until there were four players left. I get dealt pocket kings. The player ahead of me goes all in, of course with pocket kings I call, betting all my money. He has Jack-Queen suited. The table cards at 8, 9, 2, Q, Q, so I lose to trip Queens in THE ONE HAND I PLAYED IN THE TOURNAMENT. 1 - Pocket kings will beat Jack-Queen suited in 9 out of 10 hands. 2- What kind of idiot would bet all in with Jack, Queen when he's one player away from prize money (top three get prize money). The game is totally rigged. Read my previous post (about two other amazing hands which went miraculously against me), and you get 5% bad luck chances happening three times in a row. It's ridiculous.
