If you continue to play a rigged game, expect these type of results. Very simple.

Just like I told the last guy. Play a rigged game, expect those type of results. Easy.

If you believe its rigged based on what you've witnessed while playing at the tables, and those hands gets saved in your HHs, how is what you're seeing not going to show up in a HH analysis?

Useless when discussing with the site promoters, yes. As their answer would be, "variance". Dont deny it, you know thats right.
Must be easy to give us evidence it's so obvious we will ask for this. But you preferred to answer us with this garbage.

LOL! Yeah, how dare he/she be a good player. Actually, I'm not that much looser, a lot of times, at least. Funnily enough, it was also on Merge. Yes, will continue to play since I enjoy the game. Won 2 tourneys when Hero opened up, and that is my BR. Will continue to keep an open mind regarding the RNG as I continue to improve.

Explained this only about 5 times. Usual site promoters selective memory.

No, you haven't. Though perhaps you think you have. But you haven't.

Merge has dozens of skins, so a rig theory will need to be far more complex, because is it rigged against you, rigged for another skin, rigged by the skins, rigged by the network, rigged by Lizard People?


Also, action hands in tournaments do not generate more money for the site since you already paid for the tournament.

You like playing, and are whining a bit about a cooler, that's all. Lots of people whine when they lose, but you are not really a riggie.

Post the hand in BBV, though nobody will care since it was probably a tournament that cost less than a cheeseburger and they are pretty nasty to hands at those stakes.

No, cash game; but definitely less than a cb. Nah, wasn't really whining in this case. Just thought the hand was interesting considering the thread topic. In any case, definitely not worth the BBV posting.

I don't know the game is rigged, but I'd probably have to play that in either case. LOL! Guess we all would. Really, though, if that situation turned up too often, it truly would set off some bells.

You are not ignored.

I've said more than once I have no intention of posting any stats.

It's irrelevant anyway. Any of these are possible:

Shill who plays
Shill who does not play
Non shill who plays
Non shill who does not play

The only time it would be relevant is if I were to say: I've played x00 thousand hands and I can tell it's not rigged.

I've never said that.

In the first place, you can no more tell it isn't rigged by observation than you can tell it is. (In fact, its less likely since you could detect really blatant rigging by observation.)

In the second, even if you had all my stats and proof that they were correct you would still not accept my observation as fact. And that would be perfectly reasonable since you cannot detect a fair deal by simple observation.

You may believe you have but that's only because you don't understand what constitutes credible evidence.

No, no, you've got that wrong.

If I posted my bank account login details and you examined my statements and didn't find evidence of payments from sites, that would prove I was a shill because, otherwise, why would I be so careful in hiding the payments.

(Well, it worked for GWB.)

You didn't find this on a plane did you? I fell asleep on a flight and forgot to get my copy out the seat pocket. If you did, could you send it back to me when you have finished it please.

Actually the rest of us have a more stringent definition of the word "explain" than you seem to.

Ah yeah I did actually. But now I've read a bit of it, I understand about coincidence - you'll have to prove it's yours. What route and which seat number?

I have all the evidence I need. Very obvious the deal is rigged in OLP. Also know you have absolutely no credible evidence that it isnt and never will. So why live in here spouting garbage?

In your mind, granted. But you don't have evidence to convince any right-minded person.

Come on, blatantlyrigged.

Tell us which site you're working for.

And how much they're paying you.

Your cover's blown, man up and admit it.

Yeah, right.

He has a posting rate almost 20 posts per day compared to mine which is under 3.

I'm really going to make a gimmick account and post seven times as much as normal just to pull your chain.
