It takes an enormous amount of processor power to rig the deal so that it is only detectable by 2+2 rigtards. (And not by people who understand probability and statistics inside out and have access to enormous computing power.)

So please make some allowances for any small pauses whilst it works.

Pokerstars mods are often bored, so if you experience lag it's them manually pausing the game to hand out a bad beat or two. Sometimes they'll get real creative and actually replace one of your hole cards. Sure tilts me when they replace an A with a measly 4!

^ lol made me laugh

some sites are obvious scams, some are for real

i made decent bank on pstars, while on tilt i was smacked with 1-3 outers nearly every time i got it in, so i cashed out. a year later they were discovered to be a ponzi scheme

i play on carbon every once and a while, every time i get deep in a tourney with a big stack i get 1-4 outed by the one guy that can take me out after flopping a set, every time, without fail. Variance is supposed to vary, not stay the same. 90+ percent is supposed to be 90+ percent, not 5-10.

i dont want these sites to go away though. i play weekly at foxwoods and the guys who sit at cash tables who have most of their experience online are outrageous atms, calling huge raises pre with trash regularly

So, on pstars, in fields outrageously larger with competition much tougher, i cashed at a decent rate. On merge? Never, and i exit every tourney every time in the exact same manner.

Stars is nowhere near tougher than Merge is. All the US facing sites are stupidly difficult now, because US fish aren't going to jump through hoops to play there, so most of the player pool is former PS and FTP regs.

Still stand by durrrr being a bad live player, btw?

Flop set of Qs......runner runner flush
Fset of sevens......runner runner straight
Flop set of 10s........JJ rivers a one outer (a short stack was AI with J9)
and on....and on....

whenever i try chat with these "players" they have no comment, except twice out of about 30 times. the situation is almost always the same, i have a big stack and one of like 5 players who can take me out either runners or hits a 1-4 outer.

Merge is an absolute joke.

yes i do, btw. his BR management is garbage and he frequently loses enormous amounts, has frequently needed loans.

You know Lock's not even a Merge skin anymore, right?

i get it otatop, it isnt rigged until theyre caught red handed, i get it.

this is the one area where stats dont matter to you. i get it, i get it.

i know about lock, im actually talking about carbon, as stated in my post

"Waaaaaaah, I lost with a set" isn't stats.

This is really dificult. Do I believe you that Stars is 'for real' or do I believe one of the other clowns that says it is Stars that is the obvious scam?

Would these be the stats that you just made up or do you have something more interesting to tell us?

lol otatop, youre funny.

i read this sites posts often , but only once and a while do i post. i think its responsible to advise players to expect to be ripped off by the sites that remain for us players. they should go into playing at these sites looking to make "fun", not money.

playing live poker every weekend, its morally responsible to advise these people to not expect the same deal you would get live.

How often does it happen? How often should it happen? How are you determining how often it should happen vs. how often it does happen. Is your sample size big enough? If not what does that tell you about drawing conclusions? Have you taken steps to figure out how many standard deviations you are off from expectation? Do you think that's important in figuring out whether there is something fishy going on?

I wish I had the moral fortitude to lie on the internet. Thank you for your integrity.

eyes0fblue's greatest hits from 2 years ago when he first graced us with his knowledge

This could be the breakthrough we've been waiting for.

Please post your stats.

You must be new here.

But, but, he said, "every time i get deep in a tourney with a big stack i get 1-4 outed by the one guy that can take me out after flopping a set, every time, without fail."

He couldn't say stuff like that without having the hard evidence to back it up. What would be the point?

I ask myself that question every time I misclick and open this thread...

I think it's very possible that the program is rigged to make action. Obviously not rigged for this player or that player.

That's a new line we could explore.

How would they do that, and still manage to fool the statisticians?
