We can both make multiple posts within a couple of pages and we are both arguing the same few points with the same few idiots. And our positions are identical.

In the same way that I see myself as quite different from the rigtards I dare say you see yourself as something different again.

I wouldn't be too sure everone sees it that way.

Quantity of posts is just one factor. Your extensive use of personal attacks and compulsive need to counter argue every point anyone makes are the basis of my assessment.

I do not really worry how others regard anything, and in this thread I always assume that many people make rash, emotional judgments without any actual data or information.

The poster you are replying to there is most likely a gimmick fake rigged believer doing it for trolling fun.

That's just as well because you, qpw and Markusg are just like peas in a pod. One goes off duty and another comes on. I think you're all doing good work, though, making sure that no one with any sense thinks the conspiracy theorists are anywhere near to having a point. You all three seem to be enjoying yourselves. Keep up the good work.

This is really weird. I know it is a small sample size, but without cherry picking, I have some very strange results, very unlike a lot of what has been posted here.

Here it is:

AA>JJ (No help on flop)

AA>AQ (Q flops, and AQ still loses, strange, no?)

AK>A9 (A on flop)

KK>QQ (K on turn)

55>AK (A and 5 on flop)


Anyone else have strange results like this? If so, post them!

Seriously pokerstars card generator is screwed, after suffering quite a few bad beats i downgrade to their play money games. Everything goes well after shakey start and i get upto 100k chips reasonably fast so i invest in the 9 man 80k tourny, I play for well over an hour until finally we are heads up (after 3 miracle rivers saved other players for the last 20mins) anyway im up 3 to 1 guy goes all in every hand sayin he has to go so i was like sweet i really need those chips, i get aa and he goes all in with 7 3offsuit, i hit trips on the flop then he gets running flush cards, so im thinking what a joke, then 2 hands later a10 v 23 and he gets 2 pairs and i dont hit. I mean is that ****en serious , i spend close to 2 hrs to get 2 insane bad beats within 3 hands of each other and 5 hands of heads up.

Just that i'd get that off my chest, load of bs. (sorry if my swearing offends anyone but im not in the ****en mood)

What does anyone else have to say about Online poker being rigged to some degree?

The debate just goes round and round and round.

Do people think that we re just crazy "rigtards" or do we have a legitimate concern?

Please someone other than Monteroy,qpw,Markusgc,otatop,Rek.

The debate gos round and round because you have no proof. Yes most people think you're all crazy rigtards who use any excuses to soften the blow of being losing players.

I think you're 'crazy "rigtards"'.

If anyone ever shows any proof of a reasonable kind, I might change my mind.

I do think you underestimate the wildly unpredictable effects of variance. It's unfair to make too much of anyone's lack of understanding of probability because it's an very counter-intuitive subject. I'd also say that the business reasons for not rigging the deal make a lot of sense to me.

It's only fair to call someone a 'rigtard' if they willfully ignore all logical argument and continue to state that online is rigged as a fact. Merely having suspicions is not enough to get that label.

100% rigtard.

I'm more than happy to look at any evidence you wish to present, but you seem hostile to the very idea that evidence is needed to back up your claim.

Adjusted what you said to reflect the current circumstances from your perspective.

On the flip side, you do have people with 7 posts saying its rigged based on a hand they lost at play money tables though, so not all is lost (except for some play money I suppose).

As others have said, if you ever bring actual valid evidence to back your claims I will be happy to consider it.

Here's a concept I bet a lot of rigged guys haven't thought of:

If you win a pot as a 95% favorite when the money goes in, you're running over expectation.
