It's just as standard, meaning it happens just as often.

And you didn't answer my other question.

EDIT: And this, pay up $5M:

Explain how the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission is not a trustworthy organization.

I'm going to guess you can't see how your "second off" contradicts your "first off".

I have a nagging belief that not all Stars tournaments are 100% legit, 100% of the time.
Like I've stated in this thread before, I and others are going through my stats to look for patterns etc.

I'm just gonna continue to play and try to get better, if they have to steal a little of my thunder now and then so be it...

BTW, you're gonna get in trouble posting all those HH's here.

Interesting how you left out the hands that left you with such crippled stacks. Couldn't be because you played bad, could it? I mean, you'd definitely post if they were "bad beats" and yet they aren't here. Hmmmm. And you obviously lost hands as the bigger stack, seeing as you're still in the tournaments.

This is so hilariously standard it's kind of funny you posted it. Your M was around 3 and villain had a massive chiplead. You got it in as a slight favorite and lost.

lol, R4R is so pathetic. He's not even trying, nor is he interested in trying. He makes a post saying the hands all happened consecutively, and yet the times are all over the map. A bunch of those hands are effectively coinflips. It's as if he has the expectation that he's supposed to win as a 60% favorite 90% of the time, and if he doesn't it's rigged. Not to mention he obviously left out all of his winning hands that held up according to his skewed expectations.

Oh, and he showed us how bad he is at poker, and that he apparently expects something other than an all in fest in the super turbos where those 60/40 all ins are going to happen constantly with mediocre hands.

I was just deep in a pokerstars tournament right before the money and some guy takes a minute to call my all in after the turn. The card gives him a gutshot. Not sure why he called my pre flop raise with q10 os. There was no other hand or draw possible to beat him. I am sitting totally burned and watching the dead bodies pile up and I kid you not, in less than 60 seconds, another 75 players busted.

They are juicing these tournaments to get them done faster, it is so obvious without even looking at hands...just sit and watch sometime after being miraculously busted by a 4 outer. I give up...over and out...

So obvious, in fact, that when you do look at the hands, you can't even tell! These ****ers are good.

Please explain how they do this "juicing". Then see post 7222 and also post 4187 for some examples of how easy it would be to detect any manipulation of the community cards. The first example shows flops, but I've created similar tests for turns and rivers too.

I didn't even look at any other hands except for what I got knocked out of the tournaments with, numb nuts. And I didn't intend to prove online poker is rigged by posting 10 HH im simply showing why I do not win on OP as these type of things consistently happen to me. Im not a bad player whatsoever.

Also - this is all in one day.

So you got incredibly short stacked in at least 7 tournaments because the sites are rigged against your amazingly good play?

Pretty irrelevant when you consider the fact that you never told us how many hands you play in a day. I've seen people play 10k hands in a day. Also - you weren't a big favorite on most of your posted hands.

According to Pokerstars and the Isle of Man government website, that is false. I PMed Josem, so maybe he can add additional insight. But feel free to check it out yourself (not that you will): here and here. At the Isle of Man website, be sure to check out the Legislation section.

When can I expect my $5M back? I'm dead serious.

Please don't just send me to their website, I already know their deal. They claim to regulate/supervise online poker yet they do not do so. If they had done so, the UB and AP problem would have never happened.

So it's just rigged against you winning, then? Maybe you just *gasp* suck at HU. That hand where your opponent has an almost 9 to 1 chiplead on you kind of makes that seem possible.

Then you would know, as it shows here, that UB and AP aren't regulated by them. I didn't claim they regulated all of online poker. You said they don't do anything to regulate online poker. Clearly, they do.

I think you are confusing the Isle of Man with the Kahnawake. The IOM have nothing to do with the AP/UB issue. It just sounds like you've got the names mixed up there.

The Isle of Man regulators are appointed by an independent, democratically elected government.

Their regulatory regime was approved by the UK - the same review process that declined to recognise the Kahnawake as legitimate.

Here's a press release on the issue:

http://www.culture.gov.uk/reference_...ases/2261.aspx

And a comment from the relevant UK Secretary of State at the time:
Quote:
"I make no apology for banning adverts for websites operating from places that don’t meet our strict standards. Protection is my number one priority. The fact that only Alderney and the Isle of Man have been able to meet the high standards demanded by our white listing criteria shows how tough the Gambling Act is. Indeed white listing has actually helped drive up regulatory standards in some countries."

I think that's wrong.

I think that the endorsement by the UK Minister on the issue is very strong evidence of their credibility.

Also, from the link above:
Quote:
1. The Gambling Act 2005 bans companies based in countries, territories or jurisdictions outside the EEA from advertising foreign gambling in the UK, unless they can demonstrate that they have a satisfactory regulatory regime in place including measures that:

* act to protect children and vulnerable people from being harmed or exploited;
* keep out crime;
* ensure that gambling is conducted fairly;
enforce compliance; and
* ensure gambling operators are subject to rules on money-laundering and financial probity.
