Play $10/20 fixed limit Holdem at Ongame and you need just 1 hour.

I played a tournament a few hours ago, and i saw quads three times within an hour. I've just been playing there a week or so (since NoiQ moved there) and i can honestly say i've witnessed every possible situation u can think of. Something is not right.

Same thing here, but I guess it's just variance.
If they would be anything wrong it might have been discovered a long time ago.

You have no sense of probability.
Calculate probability before you claim something.

I once had Quads, a Straight Flush and a Royal Flush,
all in the same tournament, all on the same table, true story

The probability that what skier said was accurate is %100. You should learn to calculate probability before you say something stupid. YOU have zero sense of probability. 30k hands is nothing. Two days for some people. Anyone that believes they cant run bad for two days is stupid.

There are somewhere between one and two hundred million hands of poker dealt per day in on line rooms.

Therefore there's a good chance that some table will see a 100 million to one occurance every day.

And a billion to one occurance around once a week.

Thank goodness so few post here claiming such sighting are evidence that sites are rigged. (i.e. it could be lot worse.)

Hi OP, I busted you for a stack yesterday Rigged imo.

The influx of noiq players has ruined entraction. We now have a ton of nitty regs scaring off the fish. It's become a ton tougher the last few days.

Couldn't say it better myself. After the NoIQ joined the value have go down a lot, most of the NoIQ player seems to be hardcore 10-tabels nits and there are plenty of them. I have played on Entraction for 1½ year and this might be the end of it. It's not fun to have a table with 4-5 rakerace grinders and maybee 1 fish that everyone trying to bust asap.

If this continue after the rakerace period is over then i will look for a new home.

I've seen 6max players at 100 and 200nl with stats like 6/3 and 10/8.

As soon as they realise it's contributed rake for the rakeback they're going to have to leave. There's just no way you can turn a profit playing like that.

Let me say this to start with. I have NO proof that ONLINE POKER IS RIGGED. I don't believe every site that is available to play poker on is CHEATING. At the same time, I don't have proof that it's not rigged. Things do appear odd sometimes I will admit that makes me speculate things could be rigged. At the same time, things happen that make me speculate that it is realistic and my hands hold up like they should. I admit that I have made posts supporting that online poker is rigged, with out any plausible evidence. I could not go to court and win a case that proves online poker is rigged. However I do have speculation. The difference here is, I'm not trying to start a new site. I will not profit off speculation. I like any other player, want to be comforted in knowing that Op is 100% legit. People may come on here after taking a bad beat and take it out on 2+2 saying it's rigged. But beats happen live and you can't blame the live house game b/c you KNOW it wasn't rigged it was bad luck. But some people really want to know/be comforted. After billions in dollars in revenue we, as customers, deserve to know.
This whole thing could be a misunderstanding. Maybe there are players that know things we, and security doesn't. Maybe the players are the riggers. Maybe the software developers developed glitches and manipulates the security w/ out detection. Therefore we THINK the site is rigged. Well either way its bad press. My point is this: Why when somebody questions the integrity of the game...get verbally bashed and banned? Sometimes insulted by the moderators themselves. I personally thought this site was to express our views and opinions about online poker? Anybody that questions online poker gets banned and restricted what we see. Why are they insulted and banned instead of guided? Some of you obv work for the sites and know that sites arent rigged and are legit. This is your oppertunity to answer a question that many of us are asking. I'm not accusing or pointing fingers. I have no affiliation with any online poker site. Is this site for us or for you?

This site is for the reasonable discussion of online poker. When evidence arises regarding fraudulent sites, that evidence is often acted on. Users of this very forum are responsible for helping to uncover some of the biggest scams in online poker.

The difference between those cases and what you are presenting are quite different.

It was easy to prove (with much work, of course) the cheating at Absolute Poker. It was easy to uncover the issue with UB where phil hellmuth was paid out with the losing hand. There was evidence in both instances. It led to people investigating based on some kind of evidence.

What you're talking about is pretty much a conspiracy theory. You have zero evidence, lots of suspicion and nothing to base it off of.

Come here with some real evidence or something that's tangible, present it rationally and don't make ridiculous claims like the sky is falling. If there's something worth looking at then you have a chance of being taken seriously.

Your post, however, has no chance.

because we've been over this thousands of times: online poker is not rigged.

we insult you and hopefully mods will ban you because

1. ignorant people are frustrating to talk to over and over about the same topic

and most importantly

2. every time some ******* like you starts an "online poker is rigged" thread on a forum as big as 2p2, online poker loses a few fish. imagine being a fish and you want to deposit on a poker site. well, you dont know which site is the best, so you go to a poker forum (i.e. 2p2) to ask people which site is the best to play on. you then see hundreds of threads like "OMFG ONLINE POKER IS RIGGED" or "im $4.76 below expectation between breakfast in lunch.. RIGGED!" what are your thoughts? i'm guessing "gee, i dont wanna deposit if im gonna get cheated out of my money. ill just go to the casino"

fish will think this because they dont know any better--they're stupid. that's why they're fish. that's why you need to stop chasing them away with garbage like this.

so stop killing online poker and wasting our time
