Zynga Poker

[Gavster]

I though this week I'd take the plunge and start playing in a free environment where I can learn a bit of poker craft.

Well, after a reasonable first day I found that there are quite a few knobs on there that just go all-in on every hand lacking any kind of finesse. Then I started noticing a few strange patterns where a player would go all-in before the flop, only to match two low pairs when the game was concluded. That to me is suspicious, as a player would surely only go all in on a hand they felt they could win.

I've searched the net to see if there are any hacks, but can't find anything that looks genuine and doesn't give a Nigerian bloke access to my bank account! There are lots of websites and youtube videos dedicated to this though, which makes me think that there must be some players that can manipulate the game in some way.

Has anyone else experienced this? Are there any other good free platforms to play and learn?

I've also been using a downloaded version of World Class Poker which has taught be a few things.
