The game is not "rigged" it just so happens that bad players lose more than good players so if you think it is "rigged" it is probably because you just suck at poker lol

So....Just practice and get better instead of complaining about something that does not exist and won't help you get better
Ok when you get better and you are good at getting your money in 70-30 all the time and you lose 90% than what? Online poker is rigged, has been since the beginning and always will be until someone shuts them down or forces them on US soil where real gaming people can look at the software and give us a random shuffle. Not some software that rewards the idiot that reraises KK with AQ and wins it 9 out of 10 times. It's so obvious what is happening and they operate without fear since they hide the hardware on an Indian Reservatioin.

Yes, I would really love to do this. But I don't think it would be legal with any of the sites. Obviously, no one is going to volunteer to be the spewtard and purposely lose their money and it can't be agreed upon beforehand that we split whatever money is leftover after the rake (actually, there wouldn't be any money left over, b/c of the huge sample size needed. Everyone would be a loser in this little test). But you're right. This would be the way to prove the "Great poker is rigged debate" once and for all.
It should be OK as long as you make sure to never sit with people outside of your group.

Here is you typical Miraclestars tournament hand. I've come to the conclusion after a yr solid of the same old horse****, something is up.

My best guess is Stars has to make certain people play the role of donkey supplier and have to have accounts that continually get the brakes beat off them for long term financial interests. You think these crooks care they already make millions, they want more just like everyone else.

Good grief, you use a 60/40 hand as your example? The QJ here wins 40% of the time in a fair game.

In case you didn't make it to fractions Jethro, that's pretty close to half.

On play money tables everyone wins, didn't you know? That's how they get you to deposit. Not sure how they pull it off, the no loser part....

Isn't it obvious they use bots that are designed to take bad beats in the play money games. Every time the bot gets it in good it takes a horrible river suckout and then you start thinking you're the next phil ivey and deposit and play real money for a bit and then those foreigners screw you out of your 20 fpps.

And the finest mathematical minds in the world haven't noticed how they do it because they use TIMING, but me having no statistical knowledge whatsoever I noticed it straight away - it happened twice in two years of MTTs! Anybody who doesn't agree is a shill, and of questionable parentage (probably a foreigner as well).

I just used that as an example of how its a DAY IN DAY OUT PROCESS. You think i ***** care about the money?? Or that it's only 20fpp? The chips are still in the middle aren't they?????????????????????

I have enough money just in inheritance to last a lifetime. It's about these ***** crooks that don't deal a 100% random game, like each and every person deserves.

After a full analysis i will post if anything arises that may help someone out there looking for answers, or if any other rigtard theories arise.

Just in case you think I'm a mean and sarcastic person, if you actually *did* an analysis I (and many other people in this thread) would be delighted to look at it and tell you where you went wrong with the math, or start reviewing more data if your analysis does indicate there is something that is wrong.

The problem is, no-one ever posts any decent data. The last time I can remember it happening in this thread was a russian chap who managed to find a cherry-picked sample where he was 1.4 s.ds below EV.

The other problem is, you call them 'rigtard theories', but they are not theories. A 'theory' is falsifiable - it makes predictions about what would be observed and then the data can be tested to see if it matches the prediction. Saying something like 'it's timing', which is a common riggedologist expression, is not a theory, it falls into the 'not even wrong' category:

I commend you for having a theory, and instead of just whining about it over and over, like K13, you're acting looking deeper into it.

But don't just tell us if something comes up, if things look alright, tell us that too!

I wish you the best, and hope that you actually follow through. Many have said they would and so far few have.

No problem guys. I will be involved with analyzing some of my stuff but not the brains behind it all. I'm basically coming up with tests through my memory of patterns i feel are applicable in testing for theories. I also kinda trained myself along the way to be aware of patterns i see emerging in other players, based on position, history, whether or not they went all in the hand before, bubbles, time frames, stack sizes, buy in amounts, etc. etc. etc. And not in the healthy sense one should be analyzing opponents. But rather trying to prove to myself im imagining patterns based on outside and unauthorized intervention.

I honestly think i can come up with information that would be of great use to the debacle. And shed light on some new things. My motivation would be in the end getting to see them suffer, because i know the 2+2ers would have none of it....

You can giggle about 20fpps and **** like that but i have played a lot of mtts in the last 8 months or so and pretty well dedicated my life to it. I have A LOT of data from 1 to 10 dollar buy in. And no im not giving personal info but can tell you i do not have a -roi.

What exactly are you looking for, because I see it going something like this:

AA beats KK, next hand.
QQ beats TT, skip it.
99 beats 66, whatever
AA LOSES TO JJ, wtf rigged.. post reply..
KK beats 22, normal skip it.
