I'd guess about half of them ran better than average.

As many as that?

Ummmm. That's Venus. :P

Not the point. Why are you in here posting like your one of "us"? It's obvious, your not...So why are you posting here on this site? This sites for poker players, not people pretending to play poker, feeding us bull****.

My next post will break make 1,000

You are being foolish ITT right now.

Yes

Rigged or not, it is in online sites best interest to be in these threads to act as damage control and to manipulate the view of online poker. It is part of a marketing agenda. Probably not a bad idea for them.

Come on Donko. I thought you were getting some sense. I'm disappointed in you.

If I owned a site and people were saying it was rigged, I would have smart guys responding. I am saying even if the site is not rigged, it would be bad for business for people to be making unsubstantiated claims.

Nah, Venus is the one next to Mercury.

I'm sure the sites would much prefer if we just left the rigtards to it making fools of themselves.

This thread is pretty much a joke. There are much better places to put marketing resources. You're giving this thread WAY more credit than it deserves.

Evidence?

Opps! The dreaded 'E' word again.

It's rather your nemesis, isn't it tk1133.

Imagine, you will have demonstrated to the world what a complete and utter muppet you are one thousand times on this site alone.

Well Done!

I have come to my senses though. I give up on online poker. I am either running horrid and making it worse by playing bad or sites are rigged.

I am playing well, running well and winning money live, so I will just stick to that and not waste my time where I am not wanted. I have been doing well live for the last 6 years and have never seen the kinds of bad streaks I have seen online. It is just unacceptable to play while the cards are falling the way they have been for me this year online.

Good luck to you guys who play on line.

Happy Holidays.

It is so visible on 2+2. It is like the perfect billboard to straighten the rigtards out. Why not stop the tards from spreading the word about their perceptions to their friends, right or wrong? Education is powerful. One person could potentially interact with a lot of people in a positive or negative way.

The rigtards aren't convinced so far with the overwhelming amount of evidence (ie. millions of hands analyzed) that show it probably isn't rigged. What more can be done? Some people just like to believe in conspiracy theories.

Did Spade put out that study? I thought he was still working on it? Anything else that I have read has not put my mind to rest on this subject. I am willing to look at the facts. Right now, I have not seen proof that online poker is rigged and I have not seen a complete study showing that it isnt. So I am left with my flawed imagination and bad run of cards online and the complete opposite live.

I will be happy to support the online poker is not rigged as soon as someone has some proof. I am open to that.

The best thing for the sites is just to let people like tk1133 and Steven Mears(Rounding4Rent and others) post away.

They are such obvious f**kwits that anyone with an IQ into double figures will have the sense to know that they are talking complete sh|te and not want to be associated with their idiocy.

Whenever he puts out his study, it will not change your beliefs or any other riggedologist's beliefs. You will just find new and exciting superbot type beliefs to explain why you cannot win. Maybe spade is in on it all along after all...

Why would it change anything if you already think a multi billion dollar company is targeting specifically you in $2 tournaments? Nothing will change that belief structure since it is not rooted in common sense of any kind.

You did the correct thing quitting online poker. You will never be able to beat it, so stick with live until you start losing there and then deal with the paranoid "are the dealers rigging the deal" or "maybe these other guys playing are house shill" thoughts at that time. Maybe there is a live poker forum you can post in. You can pretend to be a weird old guy even.

All the best.

I misspelled "YOUR, shoulda been "YOU'RE....You coulda made fun of me for that...
Anyways, why do you post SOOOO much here? You are either a complete and total weirdo or....?

You are right, I will never beat online poker with the cards running they way they are. I am also making some mistakes with AK and other big non pair hands when my M is below 12. Thats easy to fix, but if someone decided that I am an enemy of online poker and decided to flip the doomswitch on me, I will never know and can never prove it. So why bother?

Live is a different story, I can see the cards and see the cut. I have never suspected any of the poker rooms I play in here or Las Vegas to be cheating. Sure, bad beats come, I just got two outed in a tournament a few days back. It happens. I can accept it and even joke about it because it isnt happening over and over again like a broken record.

The bottom line is that it is easier for me to win live, so I am going to spend my time and money there and stop worrying about online poker. The convenience and the amount of tables you can play online is really what I am going to miss, but I am not going to miss the year long nasty run of cards. Rigged or not, I dont need that.

So you just sit with your 15 tables open waiting for big pocket pairs to show up so you can push all in. If that is what makes your living, you should do it. It seems to be working for you and is making you feel mighty enough about yourself to talk down to people who are not doing as well as you are. Good for you, feel some pride.

You ever see David Blaine: Street Magic?

Where are these millions of hands? Does everyone have access to them? I've never heard about this before. Who has analyzed them? Any links?

It's all about trust dude, have you ever heard of ethics?

Here's a start: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/15.../#post14594621

I'm sure you could search around and find more.

Now, rigtards will always come up with new theories as to how it could go undetected, but the bottomline is there is no evidence in support of online poker being rigged and quite a bit against it. Not to mention asking to prove a negative (ie. prove online poker is not rigged) is a hellacious fallacy.

Lestat, you should read some more of this thread, there are some pretty imaginative conspiracy theories the rigtards come up with.


EDIT: Not saying that link proves if it is rigged or not, but just demonstrating that the data is available.
