At break, right near the bubble. I can show about 25 more hands if anybody would like. Perhaps the str8 flush that beat my ace hi flush? Or the small stack 6 2 moving all in on my bb vs k k and floping a set, only to have runner cards come giving him a straight?
How could you lose a $500 bankroll in three days without horrible bankroll management.

this


edit: funny thing about the post he quoted from July, is that I actually responded with rational discussion in it, in response to scorer, one of the biggest rigtard trolls this site has ever seen. After a while there's just nothing more you can say. You give rational discussion and they reply with arguments that have more holes in it than swiss cheese, if it can even be read or understood at all.

True, but the funds that is released from the BBJ will be used for large promotions - 2 coming up next month so stay tuned :-)

There is also a Sit n Go leaderboard launched now with monthly prizes

NoIQ has already destroyed the network with the rakerace, the midstakes games were a nitfest before the merger, but now they are even worse and I can't think of a "good" promotion besides a network wide rakerace like ipoker is running.

I don't care about any donkament leaderboards, I'm a cashgame player.

people that think poker is rigged do not think how dumb it would be

people have hand history´s and if they can proove with math that a site does not deal random cards or flops.... it would made public and every player would leave the site

rake and tournament fees are high enough to make millions ...

25 billon hands on ps? count that rake pls !

what about running 0.4% in all in equity for ( AK+) over 40k hands, that is a probability of about 1 out of 10 MIO hands. I think people who go through this, have a right to complain about riggedness. And this is not that of an uncommon phenomenon when you think there are 250k people online only at Stars.
It hits about every 1000 player!!

If a site can openly cheat their customers and still carry on then a site that may have a slight "unrandomness" (I don't think that's a real word) about it's RNG would do just fine IMHO. I regret to say.

if you are a believer that online poker is rigged. WHY THE HELL ARE YOU PLAYING???!!! Get the hell out of the forum, the poker community and let us peons go on about our daily, rigged poker lives. Maybe we like it that way. Maybe we're doing it on purpose to ONLY you to make you paranoid and come up with conspracies to tell to the world so you only end up in a psych ward when you find out that even if their is cheating you can't do anything about it because they have more money, power and better lawyers than you do. They will eat you alive.

In conclusion, give up on the Online Poker is Rigged threads and wasiting everyones times. It's been heard and discussed over and over and over again in this forum and every other poker (and maybe non-poker) forum out there.

What is the rakerace at noIQ worth anyway? Is it worth switching skins for?

Imagine some random old guy drunk at a bar slurring this in one breath and it sort of makes sense in a way, at least in terms of the type of person that would say this. Add a dagnabit with a smacking of his big hat on the table if you want to go with the old west cowboy twist

For example I lost to 5 1outers, 10 2outers, and 4 4outers in a 5 hour session.

Its real people. Dont play at B2B.

Flame away.
rng is flawed in all online poker ba happy day when live shuffle technology arrives..surely somebody out there could make loadsamoney with liveshuffle online poker site?

The more fish a network have the more badbeat you get.

A bad player will not play normal and can beet a good player any day.
However the good player will win in the end.

Entraction has huge amounts of fishes.

Badbeat:
No sites in the world like their players to have badbeats, they make money from the rake. Not if their players bust.

By definition, a bad beat relates to where a player gets it in good and gets drawn out on, you would assume therefore that the better player was the one who got it in good. It is also likely that the good player would reload as he will be a winner presumably? Therefore him busting is none too likely, he will do what he does all the time, have identified the fish and will follow him to get his money back and more.

I'm not sure what the point of your post is? You have a lot of fish, or it's good you don't have fish because they dish out bad beats? Whichever it is, you are wrong on both points, you don't actually have many fish, and you do want fish on there.

Please show me the fish on 200NL besides the occasional 20bb morons who survive for 5 minutes and never come back
