But if you got dealt kings against aces first hand you would think it was strange. But your not a rigge!

This thread is like AA, is anon, it's okay to own up, it's part of the healing process.

True mate - but I disagree about not being good bankroll management - I do believe you shouldn't play with anymore than 5% etc but I also wouldn't start any lower than $20 buy-in - I am not going to play with a $1 at 1c/2c etc - instead of just depositing $400+ I just deposit 20 at a time.

But thanks for the first normal mature reply, there are a lot of children, nerds and idiots on here.

You forgot ******s, dreamers, shills and site promoters. Please include the full list of usual insults.

P.S. I've already owned up to the childish part so I guess I'm covered by your summary

Yes you obviously are childish as you are not here to discuss the topic - ''online poker rigged?'' but instead to just talk ****.

Cactus, just curious if youd be here posting about how rigged the site was if you had the Ace high Flush and stacked a player with a lower flush? Or would you have just continued playing because thats what should have happened? Be honest.

I've discussed the topic ITT but it's pointless.

You think it's rigged, I don't.

There is no evidence to support it's rigged.

There is enough analysis to prove it's probably not rigged.

Your post about deposit and lose contradict one of the pillars of riggie belief (new deposit hook up).

It is therefore pointless making any sensible post ITT. Better to resort to posts of an IQ level that you and other riggies can appreciate.

I suggested ways you could get $20-50 free, and I meant it when I said you should not be playing with your own money at this time.

I will not entirely disagree with that, however I have picked up over 10 coaches, staked players and coached players from this thread to date, and it is kind of fun messing with riggies and some shills.

Since that was all you had on the site, that makes it your bankroll, and you sure seemed upset about losing it.

Anyway, check out the forums I mentioned and look into some instant bankroll promotions.

Have fun on your visit here as well, looks like you are into the spirit of name calling already!

Completely honest mate - I would have thought the same thing, just probably not said anything lol - it was a set up hand (or cold deck), with two agressive players - the money was going in (we raised every hand) but maybe it was just a freak hand - in truth I know I would have to play a few thousand hands to see is there a lot of big hands pitted against each other and bad beats etc on that site.

I am not name calling - I just said there were a lot of childish, idiotic and nerdy replies.

Where do you play - what games and what stakes?

Also I wasn't upset - I usually play plo and am used to big swings, not that this was a swing - just 20 bucks to see what the software, players etc on the site were like.

Yeah, if deposits are easy and free for you, then do it as often as you want. I guess I was just saying that having only $20, and playing for it all is a good way to lose it. Wasn't sure you knew that, but sounds like you did. Good luck in the future, and read lots of 2+2. It will help you to beat the rig if there is one.

An easy thing for you to do is to search user names to see if you can answer that yourself.

I currently play on Stars (have for past 2 years or so) when I have time (not much these days as we have 200+ players/coaches). Buy ins vary from $7 to $215.

Glad those 10 hands were helpful. I suspect I have played more Omaha and Omaha hi/lo hands than you ever will in your lifetime .

Look into the Omaha and Omaha hi lo MTTs on Stars, they are pretty amusing.

Have fun.

I seriously doubt you have - I will play you right now if you want heads up plo - $1/$2 - $5/$10 if you want or higher for limit 8 or better - lets see if you are just all talk.

also I don't play them donkaments.

Heads up 4 rolls, what an original attack. We never heard that on 2+2 before.

so this guy deposits $20 at a time and loses it and yet we are supposed to believe he has the roll to play 5/10 PLO... pretty funny

Not sure what reaction you expect - you went from complaining about losing $20 to now doing heads up challenges for thousands. Small logic gap there, and if I remember the last guy who did a similar challenge insisted it be for $25,000 or more even though he only ever played nano stakes (after which he vanished like you will after today).

What's your Stars user name (thecactus does not exist there for a play history). We can set something up, send me a PM with your play schedule (I don't check this thread every day and I don't read posts I missed).

For what it is worth I played about 2 million hands of Omaha between 2003-8. Kind of burnt out of that game when I started playing on Stars in 2009 and only ever played about 5,000 cash hands on Stars (but about 1,000 Omaha MTTs and several thousand Omaha SnGs in that time)

Shocking sequence of events. Nobody would have ever predicted you would choose to vanish relatively soon...

I am equally shocked you never revealed your user name as well. No doubt we would have seen lots of 5/10 Omaha play (and if you ever posted one I would have asked you a few simple ways to verify it was you and not someone else).

Thanks for the quick visit, though you were far less original than you realize. At least you believe you are cool, and that counts for something.

Do you want to have a go at explaining how that guy deposited 20 bucks and lost it in a few hands.

Surely he should have got the hook up bonus and been upto a couple of hundred by now before they slowly bleed it off him.

What do you think? Software glitch perhaps?

Maybe it was the boomswitch operators day off.

Where do you play, and what games do you play?



Awesome question. This guy works for 2+2 or some online poker site. He doesnt play!! Pretty interesting, eh?
He should be punching in about 2 a.m. PST. Hes on this thread EVERY SINGLE DAY trying to mislead people into thinking OLP does not manipulate the deal, which it very obviously does.
Want to ask this weirdo anything else? LOL
