WTF are you crack heads babbling about? Go to bed

Because stupid people use them to berate the fish.

no u

Truth, and I hate this.

Some moron gets sucked out on by a huge fish:

"OMG YOU DONKEY, YOU'RE DOWN 10K! NO WONDER YOU'RE SO BAD YOU SUCK. YOU LOST 10K AT 2/4 AND 3/6 LIMIT LOL YOU SUCK"

Me: COTDAMMIT!! STFU!!!!

lulz

Ok it's late.

I would say: don't know if it's rigged -> agnostics.

The only sane stance from an epistemological point of view.

Why would I want to go to bed at 9:30 in the morning? (Apart from the obvious.)

I said the exact same thing a few pages back, but sadly all the riggedologists ignored it. If only they would take a day to learn how to do statistics....

God, some of us have been saying that for months!

I don't know or absence of belief it's rigged would be weak/agnostic atheists. Saying it's not rigged would be strong atheist. Weak and strong atheism. Agnostic atheism.

I agree weak atheist or agnostic is the way to go on both issues.

Ok guess I had to post this one here.

I've been running severely under expectation lately, and last nite ran into a hand that illustrates my situation quite well:

I had AA in a 4-bet preflop pot, and the flop comes JJx. Villain leads the flop and turn, and I'm thinking, this guy definitely has QQ+, maybe even KK. I insta-shove on the turn and he insta-calls to see the bad news. Sure enough, a K falls on the river to give him a 200bb pot. Looked at my all-in EV in HEM confirm that I was 95.6% to win the hand.

I wouldn't say online poker is rigged, BUT THE DOOMSWITCH CERTAINLY EXISTS AND WILL TARGET YOU!!!!

I don't want to be rude (for a change on this thread) but what do you see as the point in posting one (or ant number, come to that) bad hand in this thread?

Everyone gets this sort of stuff happening all the time.

If they didn't it would mean that the sites were rigged to prevent it!

I admit I left out hands where the shortstack had fewer than 3 BB. <6 BB pots are obviously less significant towards the outcome of a match/session.

You might think that I am not reporting my HH faithfully but I know I am. Since you assume a random shuffle I have to assume, knowing that my hand history is real, that if you experienced what I experienced then you would doubt the randomness of the shuffle. So while you don't know it, I know you are a riggologist. In a way, if you get what I am saying.

Now yesterday was a nasty run which just happened to occur on a day which I was checking this thread. Had I ran good I would not have posted my hand histories in an attempt to show why I have doubts about the randomness of the shuffle. I run good for like a half hour a day but for the most part what I experience is close to as bad as what I posted. I swear. I have no interest in proving that internet poker is rigged. I make plenty of money playing live poker and have no axe to grind against poker. I just hope people keep playing it. But I'm sorry I am not just going to accept that I am the unluckiest poker player ever, every day on a consistent basis when it comes to pokerstars.

The underlined statements are incompatible.

It's clear what you're saying but it's nonsense.

It's like saying that you know someone is a racist because if they had experienced
what you experienced they would hate race group x.

Complete and utter nonsense.


Which completely removes any credibility you might have had.

Oh I know it happens all the time, I just wanted to post the hand somewhere other than BBV Wanted to illustrate the uncaring nature of the DOOMSWITCH.

idk, lately FTP uNL FR has had a thing for AA vs. KK, not to mention quads hands.

Waiting for my BOOMSWITCH to be turned back on....

I know what you mean.

I just cannot seem to win with two pair this week.

I suppose they decided that I had to be doomswitched after my royal flush on Monday.

No it's not like that at all. I'm not speculating. Two of the more reasonable fair game crusaders said they doubted that the hand histories were real. I didn't say I think they would doubt it, they said they did. To say they are not therefore doubting pokerstars you have to think I am lying. That's your choice. I am not and have no reason to, nor am I convinced that pokerstars is in fact rigged in any way. But I have my doubts, as do pyro and that other guy even if they choose to think I am full of it instead of believing me. In reality they don't think such a run is likely, especially from someone who has complained of that type of run happening ALL THE TIME.

I don't believe all these claims by riggologists who clearly seek evidence to support a position they are married to. I try to let the evidence guide me to the most reasonable conclusion. Me being perpetually horrifically unlucky on pokerstars forever, while possible, is not a reasonable conclusion.

this thread now makes me sad

Or they noticed that you are starting to treat other people reasonably, and decided that you are bad shill .

Please don't ascribe beliefs to me that I do not hold. I do not have any doubts at all about the randomness of PokerStars shuffle.

I said that I doubted your Hand Histories were correct - the other possibility is that they are correct and that you encountered a 1 in 80,000 event (spadebidder's maths) and are just unlucky.

Is full tilt rigged ? :-s I see everyone talking about stars, when they indeed are fair. What about full tilt ? I got pwnd yesterday (Like i do every day) in most pathetic way vs the same donkey 5 times all of them in the row. He betted into me and call my raise on the flop with bottom pair or small pocket pair and sucked out all the time ? Then i stoped playing against him, becouse he was to good for me .. He called me down with 66 on 77J board, and hitted a 6 on the river ? He called me down with 109os on AK10 board and sucked out on the river (vs top2), he called me down with 64os on Q48 board and made 2pair on the turn ? And to give it a final touch, he knocked me out with K10os vs AJ, flop camed A4K, he called my reraise on the flop, turn camed Q, he called my shove and rivered a J.

no

I decided to see what happened if I treated Sooperfish as if he were a reasonable adult.

Sadly, much as I expected, he ignored it.

Almost certainly not.
