Sorta. I defend what I like about online poker, and attack what I don't like about online poker.

1st one to respond every time.
My pleasure, sir.

1) No evidence on either side except anecdotical on my side which is playing and winning on the site since year 1 and noticing a major lasting change starting about 3-2020 (a time when a massive amount of new bad players started on the site) and on your side a strong belief and trust in corporations to always be pure and never do anything questionable or even nefarious.
I do not now, nor have I ever, believed the bolded. I think that a lot of businesses will do anything they can to make a buck. Look at Lock Poker, for example. I've said about a zillion times in this Forum that it is unwise to deposit any money on an online poker site that would cause emotional and/or financial hardship if the poker site skipped town in the middle of the night with all your money.

It could be that people calling shoves with a 7% chance for their tournament life in situations that are impossibly bad and hitting about half the time only happens to me. I realize that anything is possible.
Even though I'm not from Missouri, show me, please. I'm not gonna take your word for it. Nor should you take
my word for anything either, or course.

2)Of course no one wants to lose a customer. To point out that losing a customer on a public forum in a way that is inevitable (new clueless players going broke fast) is the worst thing for your business makes me personally wonder how far they would go to slow down something that MUST happen based off the math. It just sounds like something that is out of their control for the most part is very much on their minds.
A lot of online sites
might do anything they can get away with.

3) It would make "no sense" for a company to use an easy implement, impossible to prove technology that eases the number #1 threat to their business? Hmmm ok.
Depends on their liklihood of getting caught among other things. Show me evidence that they are implementing that technology, then I will believe it.

4) Glad you agree with the crux of the matter. So odd you take so much time when in the end you agree with the advice. Thanks at least for that.
I believe in "Buyer Beware" and "Trust but Verify."

5) The hand happened. If you do not see impossible plays like this this all the time I believe you and wish I could have that experience. That was my experience until about 3-2020
I don't dispute that the hand happened. But, "One swallow doth not a summer make."
Thanks for your detailed response.
Have a blessed day!
