I had the opportunity to play at a local poker room live in my city few weeks after they opened. Before the live poker was against law here.

In the beggining there was lots of really big fishs, they didnt even know the hands hierarchy very well.

As the times passsd the fishes become rare. Nowaday you see some fishs playing but what happens is that they play for a while, lose a lot of money trought months and them they just disappear. Never come back.

If online poker room would let the EV in its normal range they would go broke very fast because the flow of money would go from the worse players to the best players very fast. Many more times faster than in an live situation, because online everything is faster, even if you play just one table.

So, I believe its just impossible to poker room to survive without some kind of slowing down the flow of money. How they do that I dont know.

It not affect the winning player, the good player will win regularly, but never at the same rate as if he was playing live.
Poker is so simple deposited money - rake = winnings

I agree that onlinepoker increase the portion of rake with the fixed games, but they also increase the deposit money so the ammount that you can win is stable.

Sure in 4-5 years poker will be dry out extreme...simple not any gambler love the game..they simple heard you can make easy money and recognize its not as easy.

For myself the games are not worth the time 12-18 month ago

So ingenius that it can't be detected by statistical analysis but, despite the variance and the failings of the human brain, you people can figure it out by playing a few hands and running bad?

There's a great exchange from a year or two or three ago on these forums between Sciolist and some random muppet where he follows this chain of thinking through.

In short, one of the more nonsensical claims of rigtards is that their able to "feel" something is wrong, but that there's no statistical record of this. These logical geniuses are happy to claim - without irony - that they're able to do more comprehensive stastical analysis of thousands of hands in their head than computers and maths and databases are able to do.

It's just yet another fundamental logical flaw in these nutty conspiracy theories.

Honestly do you know what I would give to go back to 04 and play on pacific poker when you could only play 1 table. That place was like some alternate deminsion where people were scared of chips.

1. Stop Multitabling: That would affect the hands/hours rate only, not the flow of money from bad players to good players. In fact that would be stupid for the poker room, because they would win less rake than allowing MTT.

2 . No software (HU): That could help to slow the flow of of money making the advantage of the good player over the donk smaller.

3. Get rid of HU & short handed tables: Same as 1.

4. Get rid of NL/PL games: I´m not sure, but I think if site offered only fixed limit it wouldnt survive because of the popularity of NL cash games.

5. Go back to everyone playing FL stud: Same as 4. I wouldnt play poker anymore.

So you gave just 1 realistic way of slowing down the flow of money from bad players to good players without rigging. Still a very questionabkle one. Number 2.

I have to think that you believe that thinking a poker room is cheating at some level is an absurd as to believe in lizard people. Why do you think like that? Do you have any cognitive deficits? Sorry, I had to ask because your post seemed very bizarre.

If you are concerned about an online poker site fiddling the community cards, then you should play at a site where such fiddling is demonstrably impossible and stop worrying about the situation.

there are people trying to convince people that its not rigged for what ever reason , maybe they dont want to lose a fish on a site that holds 80k players

there are trollers having fun

there are trollers trolling the trollers
there are some people that like to read stuff so they dont go on tilt

Tell me about it, i would rather multitable on 4 sites that limit max tables, then one site that allows mega multitabling.

This is the key one. Multitabilng allows good players to take money from bad players faster by cloning themselves and attacking the fish from multiple tables. Add in it gives some good players a free intrinsic skill that they might not have or be able to win without, patience. Add in it also enables bad players to loose their money faster. If you don't think the fish last longer at sites that limit tables idk.

Quote:

See everyone says it will cost them money but i don't see how. There is a fixed amount of money to made all coming from loosing players. Anything that helps winning players take a bigger cut of that money would seem to hurt the sites. But im sure im just dumb.

You can add anything that helps good players take money from bad players faster, huds, trackers, table selectors, tracking sites, hand histories...

The point is, if sites wanted to protect losing players there are better, less risky, ways then fixing the RNG.

Imagaine what a hero you'll be when we can all change our playing patterns to match yours and improve our own returns.

You will achieve your proper status as a poker god!
I've played over 500k hands on PS alone. 300k on Titan.

Some things add up but others are way off. Atleast royal flushes seem correct.

Why is it so hard to believe there's a little tweak here and there?

Its enough to keep fish a little longer.

But have you tried folding AA, KK and QQ as you seem to believe that these hands are rigged against by the sites?

If I believed that a certain starting hand was rigged against I'd simply stop plaing it and increase my ROI.

Have you actually tried that?

Agreed, seems like a simple tweak to make given that his undocumented AA/KK/QQ hands lose nearly every time via what would be one of the dumbest and easiest rigging methods to detect. His results should change considerably once this adjustment is made. I wonder if he could give a reason why he has not made this change yet.

You do realize there are only 715 ways to hold 4 ranks, right?

Yeah, two cards being repeated in two deals of 8 is pretty scary for sure. I'd quit too.

You know I started playing live, and playing no limit small-buy in nl home games before that and that is my background. The basis for my suspicion is that, in theory, NL hold'em games should NOT even be running on the internet where people get so many hands in, because the advantage is too large for better players. In a live setting when a donk lucks into a chip stack he is relieved of it within a few hours almost guaranteed unless they leave. On the internet these donks survive and yes lose but they are not losing fast enough it seems to me and my "bad luck" against the poorer players is astounding.

Think your sharkscope and OPR stats would be more of a reason for you to quit. You just are not that good.

Even your riggedology theories are lame, and that is not easy to do since that includes theories like "Russian mafia."

You quit a game because you got dealt 2 hands in a row that only have the same rank but are not even the same hands (not the same suits, not even the same order of ranks). I am surprised you did not quit after losing 2 hands when sneezing or something.

Oh, what are the hand numbers of the hands? Curious to see the stakes and how you played them. Be the first riggedologist to actually provide actual data, albeit 2 whole hands. It's a start. Edit: Oh yeah, an old post about the hands. You stunk up both hands. Good thing you quit.

You may not be as good as you think. That old saying if you look around and cannot find the fish yadda yadda.

Anyway, you still have not made up your mind on converting to riggedology or not. Maybe these 2 stud hands will help, I mean what other explanation can there be for this... (sorry for the messy hand histories :P)

Your sample is clear evidence of the manipulated and not random software. Sort of same hands happened to me and I've posted that hands as well in this thread, it just simply indicates that their software is cannot be further from randomness, it is manipulated. It’s obviously evident to any sane individual over age 8 with IQ over 80 – only the site defender blind-crusaders afraid to admit the reality. The crusaders are hypnotized by the multibillion hand sample, which by the way would not be affected from the manipulated hands like yours or mine. The two hands you have posted, the hands I have posted are perfectly fits into the multibillion hands sample - in fact any hands perfectly fits into that sample, therefore the crusaders’ main argument that the multibillion hands sample is the evidence that the sites are not rigged is useless. Using the multibillion hands sample to prove that PS is not rigged is simply a logical fallacy. As the nature of poker, these manipulated hands are perfectly valid elements of the multibillion hands sample, the crusaders multibillion hands sample proves nothing.

Anyway, the manipulated and not random software is a pretty powerful tool in the hand of PS criminals. That’s why it would be so important what I have been pointing out in my previous posts: put in place verified, fully audited, source code controlled software systems in order to make sure that the game is not compromised by manipulated software components at any levels.

The criminals who operate the multibillion dollar scam in the form of Poker Star must follow Madoff, the fraudster. Same origin, same crime, should be same the punishment as well.

It’s obviously evident to any sane individual over age 8 with IQ over 80 – only the site defender blind-crusaders afraid to admit the reality. The crusaders are hypnotized by the multibillion hand sample, which by the way would not be affected from the manipulated hands like yours or mine. The two hands you have posted, the hands I have posted are perfectly fits into the multibillion hands sample - in fact any hands perfectly fits into that sample, therefore the crusaders’ main argument that the multibillion hands sample is the evidence that the sites are not rigged is useless. Using the multibillion hands sample to prove that PS is not rigged is simply a logical fallacy. As the nature of poker, these manipulated hands are perfectly valid elements of the multibillion hands sample, the crusaders multibillion hands sample proves nothing.

Anyway, the manipulated and not random software is a pretty powerful tool in the hand of PS criminals. That’s why it would be so important what I have been pointing out in my previous posts: put in place verified, fully audited, source code controlled software systems in order to make sure that the game is not compromised by manipulated software components at any levels.

The criminals who operate the multibillion dollar scam in the form of Poker Star must follow Madoff, the fraudster. Same origin, same crime, should be same the punishment as well.

If a write a software that not randomly produces the submitted two hands, the two hands will still perfectly fit into your sample, therefore the multibillion hands sample proves nothing, except how dumb you look.
