i mentioned before, he finished 4th, and i couldnt get better than 6th place in more than 700mtts. And always out by a horrible bad beat or a set up.

My conlusion to all this bst is that not anyone can win online, its just made that way. Now, tell me how the hell Durr can be a wining player if he never folded a draw in hiw whole life.

poker is still beatable, but the games are " rigged for RAKE ". Sure the sites increase there profit, so far noone catch them = easy money.

There is also no doubt that Superusers are still there...and professional cheaters use onlinegames more and more .

And the games itself are harder / different than 4 years ago.

Have you ever noticed, when you are playing MTT on full tilt, they puts 3 top10 big stacks on 1 same table ? And i can explain why they do so, why being 3 big stacks on the same table, they will evoid to play against each other, and mean while shorter stacks will fight in between untill all stacks gets more or less even. Then they will split the tables and put a big stack on a table with 7 shortstacks just before the bubble, i have noticed that and believe me, it costed me more than 1 tournament. And i am not talking about 1 day bad luck. Ive been running like this for a months now. (More than 7 months i think..) In all that time i had a good streak on sngs, untill from being losing player, i had about 50$ profit than it begined again untill i becamed even, and now what ever i do, i just lose or win in the long run the amount of sngs to keep my stats around 0.

a leak by any other name...
you know that he was talking about a tournament, where the "rake" was paid up front, right?
quit drinking anti-freeze imo.

tk1133 and sooperfish are taking a short break.

In their absence Username^^ has kindly agreed to keep the paranoia level up.

Now rake was paid up front, but you will still can enter another tournament and pay more rake up front dont you ? Lets say you decided to play an MTT and you get sucked out after 1.5hr, you will think oh well, i still have planty of time to play another tournament. Just dont be ignorant please, i am not an idiot and i am not saying that it is 100% rigged, but you just have to look at the facts. Since online poker was banned in USA, there are no way they can legitimetly control games and i think if someone wouldnt take an advantage of it (Like they did on UB and AP) They would be just stupid. When more you get, more you want.

I donno what you're talking about in the second part, but the first part with putting bigger stacks with bigger stacks I've seen time and time again. I do think there's some reason they do it, let casual players who haven't built any kind of stack more bang for their buck or something. I just know every time I amass a top ten stack with like 100 players left and they break my table I somehow always without fail end up at the same table with 4 other top ten stacks, and I look at other tables and usually about 2 of them have 8 stacks with 10ish big blinds and one average stack. I'm far from a rigtard but I see this all the time, especially on FTP.

You can call it how ever you want, but as i posted before i have a bb/100 rate of over 30 in MTTs and i didnt had any major wining.

?

BB/100 is for cash games. You're meaning to say ROI%

You have yet to provide any facts only pure paranoia and speculation. Facts would be showing some sort of statistical anomaly over a large sample size of hands. Of course no rigtard has the intellect to be able to do this, yet. Maybe one day a super-rigtard will come along that actually has the ability to gather "evidence" and this debate may actually go somewhere, but until then we just have a bunch of fear mongers waving their hands in the air.

bb/100 in tournaments? How are we supposed to take you seriously?

So, in your opinion, the answer would be a US regulatory authority?

This is like one of those logic puzzles.

Which ****** thought that bb/100 was a good measure for tournies?

Which rigtard is obsessed with US regulatory control?

Which new gimmick account has, in ten minutes shown :

a) a predisposition to indicate his poker prowess by bb/100 in tournies.

b) that he believes the rigging problem started with the US banning of OLP?

ok what ever, i have a negative ROI -10% or so in mtts, -1% on sngs - witch is rake i generate in the long run, But i am talking about bb/100, i know that it sounds weird, but i
am trying to say is that i have played a correct aproach to a game by playing right odds etc. Is it so hard to understand ?

It's hard to take you in any way seriously.

Yes, it is. I understand what you're saying. You have a positive bb/100 in TOURNAMENT CHIPS. The vast majority of tournament players have a positive bb/100 because you win more bbs in the early stages than later. Those that don't are the ones that are like -100% roi who blast off stacks in the first level of every tournament. If you double up in the first level you win 100bbs but if you double at like 500/1k you'll win like 10bbs.

And because of that, the fact that you have a positive bb/100 in tournament play means absolutely nothing.

esbo2?

ok, bad example then. Anyway, i just wanted to say my opinion without anykind of acusations and you all started to bite me. It looks that you care about it more than ones who really think that its rigged.

Hey, I agreed with you in one respect, and now you know to use ROI instead of bb/100 in tournaments. look at the bright side

i feel the same way man. its constant bad beats! especially when u way out in the lead in a hand

And which rigtard is it that uses as part of his whining technique irrelevant accusations that anyone who contradicts him must be suspiciously concerned to persude people that sites are not rigged? (As if not wanting idiocy to remain unchallenged was not a good enough reason to post).

You share your idiotic tendencies somewhat closely with certain other tenacious ******s and rigtards.

And yet another bright, shiney, new gimick account rolls, freshly minted, off the assembly line.

There is no way you can prove its rigged statisticly. I have one idea, but i dont have hand historys and tools to examine it. We could check MTTs on full tilt, and the percentages the big hands holds up depending on the stack sizes and against a players with more or less experience. And similar stuff. I think you could also put your ideas around here, and maybe someone will decide to do it some day :-).

I think you have a rigtard sindrome more than any other person here.

There are plenty of ways to analyze a database of hand histories to test the validity of the deal.


Well, ok, there is no way you can analyze anything in terms of statistical significance.



Well, sort of sounds like you have a belief based on some bad luck or something. Keep in mind that we have seen both of these rigged theories put forward:

1) Big stacks win too many hands in tournaments

Main reason for this rigged belief:

Makes tournaments finish faster so more rake for the site


2) Small stacks win too many hands in tournaments


Main reason for this rigged belief:

Helps bad players who tend to have smaller stacks.


Odds are that both theories cannot both be true at the same time, however that does not stop both from having people who believe they are each absolutely true. They tend to not have databases of hands they can analyze as well. Go figure.
