A Q suited vs 9 2 suited ( same suits ) is about 70 - 30. A Q suited vs 9 2 suited ( different suits ) is about 65 - 35. A Q suited vs 9 2 offsuit is somewhere around 68 - 32.

The percentages against 10 3 are just about the same. Just sayin' that it is mathematically possible. So if you shove pre with A Q against one of these two hands and they happen to call you, don't be surprised to lose some. It's not that big of a loss to be honest. Sure, in the long run you will win more than you will lose so it's a profitable shove against these two hands, provided that your opponents are dumb enough to call you. But this wasn't the topic, of course.

"For pker players will beat the any 2 card callers in the long run"

I'm not sure what you mean exactly with this statement.

I see a lot of adversarial and paradoxal thinking on „both sides“. If the deal is rigged, it could be done in very subtle and undetectable way and might still give huge benefit to poker site. First I would like to be clear that I am not claiming anything, just pointing out maybe one different way of possible rig and in fact I hope I will be debunked by reasonable explanations and facts.
Everyone is just and only looking into the "hand stats" which will allways look (and be) correct after analyzing hand histories beacuse they (Online poker rooms) dont mess with that. The key of possible rig is in controling of amount of money won/lost by picking a right time to "temporary influence those hand stats" which on its own (and long term especially) will stay mathematically correct. It is about of a "fine timing" (when and how much one is winning/loosing). Among other benefits they get from it is that no one is even looking at it, and it gets even better for them because even if one would choose to look in to it nothing could be seen. It is undetectable because "this parameter" can not be really tracked, precisely predicted and analyzed. Therefore if they tweak RNG, this would be the best way for them to do it, so by controling of ammount of money won or lost winning players are winning less money than they "should" and loosing players are loosing less than they "should". Poker room keeps all data for each and every poker player so they can, among all other things, see how much money players are making (or loosing) at any given point. Therefore possibly tweaked RNG is just picking up spots (regarding of the ammount of money in the pot, or how much one did win/lost this session, or previous days, etc.) at which one player may than sometime get bad beats (or suckouts, depending on point of the view) to "balance" fluctuation of money between players. And they do not do that all the time and far from every hand. In fact this spots probably occure quite rare but have significant impact on final results . So all stats on the end look exactly they should. Aces will be "green", profitable hand, flushes, straights, etc., everything looks fine just amount of money won (or lost) may be different from what would otherwise be. And again, that is probably the "only" thing in poker no one can predict or analyze so it is almost completly or completly undetectable.

So if I filter for pot size I won't see a difference in small pots vs big pots?

Riggies tend to confuse "nobody is looking for it" with "I have no idea how to look for it."

Probably no, because it is not so black and white, not nearly obvious, you will not lost all big pots and win all small ones and there are all kind of pots in between plus it is not done every hand, it could be only one hand in 100 or 1000, or 3 in 27 with smaller pots, endless possibilities which on the end with adding up would make a significant impact.
Btw did you filter it by pot size?

Man, the amount of technology that poker sites have is unbelievable. I mean storing and updating data of millions of players worldwide and "balancing" their winnings/losses by giving them coolers or losing hands without being detected by any statistical analysis is shocking.

I bet that a site like Pokerstars will be the first do discover aliens.

You could have saved yourself a lot of typing by just saying they rig it using magic.

You won't beat them if you don't know how to play on a no-foldem table. If you have 3 opponents at the table who all play any two cards, your range has to be extremely tight to have an advantage at that table. If you go all in every hand against 3 ATC players, and you play JJ+ only, you will just about break even.

Obviously I meant go all in when you have JJ+, and fold otherwise.

All of that can be determined by math (once you clarify your definition of a streak), though you will not understand how no matter how it is explained.

Also. be clear on what odds qualify as a "worse" hand. Is a 49% hand worse, or do you require it to be 40% or less, 35% or less etc.

Just trying to get clarity on your vague terms for your personal theory that nobody else believes in, as it will help better clarify when you are intentionally lying as opposed to unintentionally lying, given you do both quite often. You will not likely answer what specifically is a streak, but always fun to ask simple, direct questions and watch you avoid them as if they are a prop bet you offer that is accepted...

All the best.
1000 is many 1 is not many.

Browsed through some of the topics. The degen stories really caught my eye.

Man, some of those stories are really depressing. When I first started reading them, they were funny but as I continued with them, they turned sad. I knew that some people have really big gambling addictions but to get to the point that you no longer get out of bed to piss and just piss yourself is really depressing to say at least. If those stories are true, I feel for them, even though most likely it is their own fault they got to that point.

The table tilting monkey that said he destroyed mice, keyboards, monitors ( he said that he bought only cheap ones because he knew that eventually he will crush them ) was really amusing. The part when he said he had to patch up like 15 holes in his walls killed me.

I'm going to try to translate. I think he is saying that because good players win year after year and bad players lose year after year is an indication that the theory that online poker is rigged against good players is rubbish.

Hope this helps.

Two consecutive hands at 88 rigged shate:

ATs : JT3 T Q
Lost to both JJ and QQ

AQ (prolly playing a bit tilted) : JT2 5 K
Beat JTs

At least two different rigged theories proved here.
