Yup, just some more examples of hands used to boast the rake. They made a killing off all those monster hands, just look at all the bets.

Now it'd be even more interesting if the Bad beat jackpot their got hit today...?

How did these hands "boast the rake" in these SNGs?

Could we perhaps be told what the buy in was for the tounament so that sync can estimate the "killing" made from this international fraud?

Oh, and well played in those hands by the way everybody. Good stuff.

Sportsbook poker is rigged without question.

AJT5 vs. A245

Flop - T65 - I checkraise him Pot - he calls
Turn - 2 - I bet all in - he calls
River - 2 - Running 2's? = GG rigged sportsbook

And this was not hi-low, it was some clown who was up 4 buyins playing like absolute **** and getting rewarded as is typical of these shady sites.

First of all, lol

Secondly, it's funny that you appear to really believe that yet still keep playing.

Finally, there was probably a flush draw and in order to make a biased post you just conveniently left that out.

I would have much more respect for BucketFoot if his name ended in "head" rather than "Foot". Regardless of what he posted.



But since it's BucketFoot, he gets zero respect.

DMoogle, do u know that Buckethead was raised into chicken coop by chickens?

I haven't played a lot of Omaha, but is TPTK on a semi coodinated board conisdered a hand strong enough to checkraise a calling station?

It's almost a definition for educationally sub-normal, isn't it.

Believing a site is rigged against you but continuing to play there.

And the degree of your problem is only highlighted by the fact that you continue to do so even after the cretinuousness of your behaviour has been clearly pointed out to you.

Even with no flush draw for either player that is still 63/37 spot. If opponent had a flush draw (I agree more likely) it was around 55/45. It could even be 50/50 if opponent also had another backdoor flush draw.

Lot of players in Omaha have no idea what the odds are of a situation so they assume something extreme took place when at times they were even the underdog or barely a favorite.

The fact that bucket has no concept of the situation is not too much of a shock, but I am sort of disappointed with the latest trend in rigged beliefs that require the sites to have hands go in a crazy way that would only attract attention.

Wow, runner runner 2s that is crazy. Why not just have a 3 hit instead and reduce the drama. Royal flushes and quads galore in a short run? Yeah, that is certainly a rigged approach that would never attract attention.

It's as if the average riggedologist IQ dropped 50 points in the past month.

Looking at Sooperfish, tk1133 and Mears, together with their gimmick accounts I'm dubious about that as, to the best of my knowledge, you cannot have a -ve IQ.

Yeah, but mixed into that there were a bunch of posts from people who actually looked like there were going to do some more indepth hand analysis, so there is hope.

QPW you ever finish that analysis of those hands that were sent to you? We'd be interested in the results.

Oo I didn't expect to find intelligent thinking going on in this thread
I rather think you can have negative, as IQ is based on a standard normal distribution, just arbitrarily centred around 100. Values can, theoretically, be from +/- infinity. And with the pretty large sample size of posters here, together with some Bayesian inference on the stupidity of riggedologists' posts, I think there's every possibility they might have -ve IQs!
