OMG Listen here guys. This is the proof you have all been waiting for. It's finally ****ing exposed!!!

I was lurking around the ghetto Mobile, Alabama and I heard a shuffle up in the tree. I figured it was just a crack head, but then this leprechaun in a tree asked if I played online poker. I was hesitant at first to answer since I thought he might be an undercover and this was a set up. Well finally I said, **** it, I want da gold!!!!. He said good muahahahaha. He handed me the boom/doom switch. I said thanks bitch! I ran home faster than a speeding bullet (even superman called me and said that it was super fast) and now I'm rich bitch!!! Umm i swear this is true.

The end.

Here is your proof:



O_o

Oh, that would just be too cruel.

I should be OK, though.

This is called avoidance. You certainly do not have to provide information to back your fairly wild claims, but if you choose that then expect no one to believe anything you say for obvious reasons.

You seem bright enough to realize this, imagine if a total stranger was telling you similar bizarre stories and saying "I could prove it but I choose not to" for all sorts of mysterious reasons. Do you just accept what that person says at face value? If so, then good luck as you will be swarmed by people happily capitalizing on your trusting and naive approach.

Until you provide proof these are called "made up stats." Here, watch

I have lost with AK vs AQ 27 of the last 29 times all in.

Do you believe me?

Your bankroll management killed your bankroll. Proper bankroll management can get through bad variance runs.

You just said you are not a rigged believer and followed it by saying you think something is rigged.

Similarly I find it amusing that you think it has to be something mystical at work targeting specifically you instead of an element of your game (your bankroll management for instance).

3 players have QJ pre

Flop QJx

You'd think KK would be good.

no, we'd think that if you know it's rigged and you can't win that you would've stopped playing and posting your bad beat stories by now.

Also, please post that HH so we can verify/critique it.

I think he means Preflop with those hands, the flop of both a Q and J is unlikely It's a bad beat preflop not postflop

Meh, not even as bad as someone hitting a gutshot on you with one card to come.

Not BBV worthy.

The focus was on KK winning, which as you can see happens about 87% of the time:

"winning" is not hard since 90% of these players are horrible.

But unless I saw the actual software algorithm I don't believe its completely "random"

There's a business at stake. Poker is cut-throat. I'm sure there's a small edge in the software somewhere.

Since I'm never going to go broke with my BR management, I gotta keep playing.

Just as I'm typing this my QQ loses to 45 pre. What a surprise. Dude will probably make the WSOP now and win it.

Let your mom, sister or grandma play and you'll see how bad poker wins more than it should.

K13, As you know I understand you view and your feelings, however I will try one suggestion b4 you quit playing online poker thinking it's absolutely rigged. You mentioned BR management which are great guidelines to follow, but maybe your better then what the BR tells you what stakes to play. I'd play out of your comfort zone a couple times and try a higher stake. You have to keep in mind that any knuckle head can buy a gift card and make a minimum deposit and play a 5-20 dollar tournament. If your a serious player, not like the donkey's that think JQ off is gold b/c "they're drawing to a straight preflop" you might find your better then what you think.
FYI, when I play on stars or FTP, my friends would live in the 6 dollar sngs. I felt more comfortable playing 27 dollar sngs(and was more successful) with only 100 dollars in my account then I did playing 6 dollar sngs all day. Too many donkeys are able to pay 6 dollars for a sng...you find donkeys anywhere you play, however less is better...I don't know your situation and I don't doubt how you feel, but b4 you give up try playing with players that match your skill level....

There is, it is called rake.

The site makes rake no matter who wins.

Rake is how the site makes money.

People pay rake to play the game. The site takes in this rake.


It really aint that complicated.

What type of reply do you ever expect from this?

Play 45 more often then if you think that is how the pattern mapper works and plot the results.

So bad players lose a ton? No wait, they win a ton?

I wish riggedologists would at least make up their mind which rigged belief to stick with and be consistent.

Cliff Notes: He is suggesting you find better players to play against at an uncomfortable buy in level instead of playing against bad players at a level within your bankroll.

You may want to get a second opinion about this approach.

Good luck.
