+1.

And for the record I can take a sarcastic remark or joke or whatever. But it seems a few people are here just to flame.

I do disagree with you about the burden of proof. As i stated in my first post I have played for 10 years and supported until very recently that online poker is not rigged.

My problem here is until it is regulated and can be pretty well proven that no cheating is going on, then alot of fish will stay away. Almost every fish I have met in live play believes online poker to be rigged. And until its well proven its not, that is action we will never see.

Superuser accounts have existed on some sites, but the physical evidence is no longer there.

I find it interesting how people love to say online poker is rigged. I went to dinner the other night with some people. The husband goes on and on about how good of a poker player he is. He then proceeds to "educate" me on how online is rigged, bad beats etc. Then in his next breath he goes on and on about his last trip to Vegas and in a tournament he has AA, goes all-in and is called by 94 off suit. The other guy sucks out and he chalks it up to "that's poker". I wanted to reach across the table and slap that fool.

You are right. That is exactly how your wsop tv watching chris moneymaker fans see it. But, they're plenty of serious players like myself who understand that rigging goes on.

Can you see why you are coming across as such an idiot?

For ten years you think it's not rigged. Most of the non rigtards here only go as far as 'probably' isn't rigged.

Then, you do a complete volte face and start saying it is and berating anyone who disagrees with you.

fing halarious!

Every site claims to be regulated. And anyone can claim to be regulated. Doesn't mean much..

While I appreciate your comments it should not be overlooked that many of these posters who call others ******ed have provided a WEALTH of information in this thread on how to analyze your stats, what you should look for in trying to figure out if rigging is going on, ways to think about the game, statistics, variance, etc. While I perhaps have a more diplomatic tone in my little tidbits here, they are the one's who have provided the real useful information in this thread.

What you are seeing in their more biting comments is their frustration in providing the same explanations over and over again, only to be completely ignored by most rigtards. Look at the most recent exchange with Donko: he's been told that his sample is more than enough to give a decent idea of what is going on and he still makes excuses for not actually looking at his hands.

Look at this latest guy: Pokerprolv. If we take him at his word, he's a poker insider and despite that all he can provide is the same gut feeling that things aren't right.

Do your self a favour: read through this thread, filter through the junk, and focus on Josem, QPW, Spadebidder, and Monteroy's posts (I'm sure I've missed a few). Then look at how many rigtards have followed their advice.

Which just goes to demonstrate how lame your: "My problem here is until it is regulated..." is.

First you say: "My problem here is until it is regulated..."

Then you state that regulation doesn't mean much.


So:

1) Sites are regulated.
2) You don't believe regulation means much
3) You want sites to be regulated.

Even for a ******, that's ******ed.

I have really super-duper user accounts at a couple of sites. They let me play poker and make lots of money from ******s like you.

I think PokerProLv will be in hot water when his father finds out what he's been doing.

Rigtards:
1. It is possible and easy to rig online poker
2. It has already been done
3. The incentive to make money will always drive someone to find a way to cheat
4. Regulated sites have already cheated players and ran off with their money
5. There is no consquence for stealing players money

******s:
You cant say online poker is rigged if you dont have proof.


WELL LISTEN UP ******S- No one proved it exactly when it was happening in the past. Just cause it hasnt come out again yet doesnt mean crap.

So you admit that regulation is not some panacea?

It seems to have pretty much bottomed out already.
