I subscribe to an online poker news alert letter. It's very expensive and very very exclusive. It's for just the highest of the high rollers in the industry. The writer of the newsletter was an industry insider and former owner of a major site which he sold. His contacts are solid and very trustworthy, and I trust what he says on face value, or I wouldn't be paying five figures a year for his information, which has never been wrong in over 30 months of alerts.
So what I tell the OP here is something he is just going to have to believe and take me for my word. I shouldn't be posting this information on a public board but I have lost my private message privileges because the mods all hate me and want me to leave here, most likely because what I say is always the truth and the truth is dirty and the truth hurts, especially it hurts the affiliates here who own the poker message board world. You know that is true.
So here is the truth OP, listen carefully. According to the most recent news alert, Somalian Pirates have infiltrated the major poker networks supercomputers and have been planting all-in beat-bombs. This is causing the strange anomalousness you have noticed in your research of past data. I know this sounds kooky and many here will immediately dismiss this as nonsense, but the source of this information is to be trusted. I can't divulge the full details on how they have infiltrated online poker, because there are many people working 24/7 trying to eradicate these Somalian Pirates from having access to their supercomputers. It's a tough battle and one that won't be easily won by the poker sites. There resources are spread thin right now trying to provide cash out options, which is a battle they have been losing badly at. Some insiders say the sites are all but dead because of the pirate issue and the cash out issue. Don't believe that though, my inside source tells me that there is a major infusion of cash coming into the industry from the North Koreans, who want a major piece of this action. They believe it's going to be their economic salvation and help lead them into the modern world as well as funding their extensive nuclear ambitions. So if my source is right, look for the next batch of checks from the poker sites to come from a prominent North Korean bank. Either North Korean World Bank, or First Third Bank of North Korea.
OP, I hope this helps you with your trust issues about the poker sites having an agenda against winning regs. That is so not true. It's the Somalian Pirates. Once the North Koreans get into the game they will clean out those pirates very quickly and the games will seem fair to you again. I promise.
I'm going to post this reply under a new screen name so I don't get in trouble from my inside source. Trust me though, I have over 2000 posts here and have been a member since 2004. I can't risk going public with this info under my real screen name though because of how explosive the info is and what it could mean to my future safety.
Take care everyone, and just wait for the North Koreans to clean things up.

To the guy who made the opening post - you said you were going to get flamed and you have not been disappointed.
The best thing to do is not take on the assorted shills and attention-seekers at this forum. (There are some genuine people here too, but they don't tend to look at threads like this.)
It is probably better to send an email to the poker sites you believe have been manipulating hands. Tell them you no longer trust them and will withdraw all your funds and tell your friends not to play there.
That is likely to have more of an effect in the long run than arguing with people here who have very little to offer other than facetious put-downs they copied from someone else.

Sigh. Did you really waste 15 minutes of your life writing this? Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit and this isn't even good sarcasm.

I actually also wondered about this.
The pokersites do have an incentive to do this. So it do deserve and investigation from winning players.
And in genereal all you see is posts about players running below the EV line. Aswell as myself...
It goes like 6 players posting on forum that run below EV on everyone that run above (just my personal experience).
Do unlucky players have a bigger tendency to post about it or are the winning players on average visiting this forum more and therefor also posting more since winning = unlucky according to this theory.
GL with the numbers.
