Bring them to the US and let the Nevada state gaming people look at them. Stop hiding offshore and then maybe we will believe it.

Do you just make this stuff up? Doyle's Room is on the Cake network, and they do not host servers at Kahnawakee or anywhere else in Canada. Furthermore, these shared network providers have almost no motivation to manipulate the deal, and the skins/brands have zero ability to do so.

Please provide the hand histories for your "impossible" streak of 10 hands, and I suspect we'll see it's quite within normal bounds, and in fact quite common.

I am not sure if I am even asking this right (you are the stat guy, not me), but is removal effect or whatever term applies to the quality and number of hands that see a flop significant? I assume aces show more on play money table flops where every hand sees a flop for instance.
Overall looking at a variety of cash game stakes and table sizes, the slope from flopped aces to flopped twos is very stead upward to a total of about 0.3% difference across the whole range. Obviously this is due to more flops being seen when players hold higher cards. It's a good theory that the lower the stakes, the less this effect, but I have not verified it. Even then, it would not be enough to be exploitable in any way (or even casually noticed), because the fact of any one player trying to take advantage of it by playing low cards, massively overwhelms the entire effect by his own holdings.

Their are many folk out there arguing about if online poker is rigged or not…I would like to help put this to rest by stating that it is rigged in many different ways. i helped write some of the software for tiltware LLC…while working on the fulltilt site some of the other programmers and i were asked to install programming into the software that would recognize certain players and provide them with unbeatable hands.

we were also asked to develope software that would provide what they called the”maximum oppurtunity to bet” which meant that the deals are rigged to deal out alot of good starting hands to alot of players so that the most betting possible would take place on every deal. The deal would then provide a monster flop in which atleast two players would be all in before the river.(ever wonder why nobody ever misses the flop online…because then no one would bet and that is not what fulltilt wants) This keeps the tourneys fast paced and exciting which players love. Fulltilt loves this too, the faster you lose the faster they can make more money off you by having enter another tourney.

There is also another way fulltilt cheats you out of cash with their own personal players. These players are called house players and are fulltime employees of the Fulltilt compnay. If you check some names and their online wins vs. loss records you will often find them with records that are simply unreal. I have seen some of these folks who win over 50 straight sessions without a loss…how can this be possible unless they are working on the inside. They come and go and change their names often but they play in the site with the full adavantage of being able to see all the cards in play and in the deck.

Another programming trick we wrote into the software at fulltilt is the levels trick…this trick takes place when a tournament has been running after the first break. The computer recognizes the different size of each players chip stack and begins to deal out hands in which a small stack will shove all in and a large stack will have a better hand to call with.

Have you ever wondered why you get pocekt QQs with 1500 chips and the guy next to you gets pockets KKs and he has 10,000 chips? The answer is simple the site is programmed to get you to play as much as possible. So we programmed the site to eliminate the small stack as quickly as possible so that they can go enter another tourney asap. The site is even prgrammed to adjust the flop for big stacks so that even if the big stack calls your hand with nothing he will end up beating your good made hand by the river. Often times the site will deal you back to back hands with the same cards but maybe different colors or suits..this “glitch” is a sign that the computer is adjusting the shuffle to start elimnting small stacks and allow the tourney to finish quicker.

The sooner a tournament is done the faster fulltilt can have you back at another table spending more money…it is to this sites best interested to eliminate you from tables as fast as possbile. There is no one to regulate how the company manipulates the software to thier own advantage.

There is no one to monitor how the company pays out its players and employees. Simply put, giving some offshore account your hard earned cash is simply insane. Thinking that these people arent cheating you out of your money is crazy, the site has many layers of hidden programming all set up to take full adavantage of all types of players from novice to expert.

the main reason i wrote this blog is to expose the fraud that takes place at online gaming site known as Fulltilt poker i was fired three months ago from the company that helped write the software..yes i am bitter and mad but i do fell everyone so know how bad fulltilt is and that is a site built by THIEVES!!

It seems like a lot of these accusations would be verifiable by the big database sites, like PTR or similar. If they have all those hands in a database they should be able to analyze the card distribution and tell if there seems to be anything tricky going on.

Anyhow, what proof do you have to offer? How do we know you're not just a Stars employee?

You could start by wowing us with your technical knowledge, the way you phrase things makes me think you are in fact not a programmer (or if you are one, you're bad).

Obv any database site that claims to legitimize online poker is actually run by the evil online poker sites. Also, all the posters who claim to be winning players at these sites and post graphs and pictures of the stuff they've bought with poker profits are paid by the sites to make it all up and give you confidence. ldo.

Fail.

You obviously lack the intelligence to attempt this kind of level. Sorry. Wasn't worth the effort it took to type it. Not worth the time I spent reading it.

One of his other posts on this forum. Guess he was taking time away from his job as an insider player who knows all the secrets of how the system works.

Seems he also uses his secret knowledge to crush the tourneys at Full Tilt as well.

This guy may actually be the first guy to post a rigged belief that other riggedologists actually stay away from to avoid being connected to the OP in any way, shape or form. Rarely does a post fail at being a level, attempting to be a level, or being legitimate all at the same time.

This programmer can barely spell, let alone create a sophisticated program that could carry out a scheme like this.

Fair enough. The internet is filled with all sorts of manifestos and conspiracy theories and people who will sell you the secrets to beat the hidden codes of the games. Next time share one written by someone who has at least a grade 3 education as it will at least sound better.

Thanks for sharing.

If you need a roulette system, literally thousands are available for $50 or less over the internet as well. Consider giving them a shot as they are all equally effective.
