Why would it change anything if you already think a multi billion dollar company is targeting specifically you in $2 tournaments? Nothing will change that belief structure since it is not rooted in common sense of any kind.
You did the correct thing quitting online poker. You will never be able to beat it, so stick with live until you start losing there and then deal with the paranoid "are the dealers rigging the deal" or "maybe these other guys playing are house shill" thoughts at that time. Maybe there is a live poker forum you can post in. You can pretend to be a weird old guy even.
All the best.
You are right, I will never beat online poker with the cards running they way they are. I am also making some mistakes with AK and other big non pair hands when my M is below 12. Thats easy to fix, but if someone decided that I am an enemy of online poker and decided to flip the doomswitch on me, I will never know and can never prove it. So why bother?
Live is a different story, I can see the cards and see the cut. I have never suspected any of the poker rooms I play in here or Las Vegas to be cheating. Sure, bad beats come, I just got two outed in a tournament a few days back. It happens. I can accept it and even joke about it because it isnt happening over and over again like a broken record.
The bottom line is that it is easier for me to win live, so I am going to spend my time and money there and stop worrying about online poker. The convenience and the amount of tables you can play online is really what I am going to miss, but I am not going to miss the year long nasty run of cards. Rigged or not, I dont need that.
So you just sit with your 15 tables open waiting for big pocket pairs to show up so you can push all in. If that is what makes your living, you should do it. It seems to be working for you and is making you feel mighty enough about yourself to talk down to people who are not doing as well as you are. Good for you, feel some pride.
