The great "Poker is rigged" debate - Collected threads edition - Page 459 - Internet Poker

tk and meares, as misguided as they often are, at least try to put together some form of logic at times.

My vote goes to Bucket simply because he doesn't even try. Just dozens of rigged posts, most of them one liners or referring to a single hand played in which he lost a 60/40 or some crap like that.

Holy crap dude, spaces and paragraphs.

Also, nobody is going to believe this bs (well the people with no common sense might). Please post the exact e-mail where a poker site told you to get the magical 50,000 hands number.

And if your results really are as far off as you claim they are, I'm sure the entire poker community would be interested in them.

All you rigtards have carefully constructed theories about how the game is rigged to that fish (losing players) don't lose so much.

Can you not see that, if that were the case, those of us who are consistently winning players would be winning despite the fact that the deal was rigged against us?

Thus we would be able to claim that we were even better players than we are.

This is the fundamental problem with the whole 'tard philosophy. It just doesn't make sense.

Nevertheless, Happy Christmas!

Most of the "people to be taken seriously" play high stakes...Again you avoid the subject and use the word "WE."

In reality, I can understand some people who get offended , like MARKUSC confronted me one time. People take pride in online poker and when they're successful and do it for a living, for somebody to say it's "rigged" is a slap in the face. We're basicly telling winning players that their success is an illusion. Which is understandable and should be respected....

Winning is not the same like random.
Loosing is not the same like rigged.

Poker only works if many people deposit fresh money, lets say a large analyse proofed its rigged. Would someone post it around the world and scare away the fish ? Also the cheaters like " Superuser " only was detected because they was extreme greedy. I bet not greedy " cheaters " can play years.

I assume you mean a monotone hand, since a 4-suited hand (containing all suits) happens 10.5% of the time in Omaha (1 in 9.5).

If you mean monotone, I call BS or mistake. You expected 1/95 or 158 monotone hands in 15000, and you got 375 of them? No. The binomial probability of that is so small I can't calculate it (more than 30 zeros after the decimal). Either I've misunderstood or it didn't happen.

If you in fact meant 4-suited, then none of your numbers make sense. I don't play Omaha, so maybe I'm not understanding.

When we all think it's rigged we come to this thread and make an announcement. We are quickly asked for proof of the said riggedness which we never have.

This thread is about rigging, regulation and that you dont trust the sites should be a different thread.

You're missing the point. No one is saying to trust blindly. The point is no one who has done any actual analysis has uncovered anything fishy in the way the cards have been dealt. At least not on the major sites. The point is that if rigging is going on to the point where it has a real impact it would be discoverable by ordinary players.

Totally agreed, but in circle, it does correlate. Plus I don't think it'd be appropriate to create a new thread. Ultimately, the outcome would only serve as a self fulfilling "attention gimmick" for myself and in 4 days will be quickly merged. Not my intentions...

No idea what you're saying here.

It wouldn't be merged if you don't claim poker is rigged without proof and stuck to the idea that poker sites dont have enough oversight.

It would die though because sites do have enough oversight. Its just you will only accept US regs. So until the US legalizes online gambling your arguments and defense of posting here are pointless. You should be posting in the legislation forum and lobbying the government or something.

Not sure why you quoted me to say that.

It has been very common for mapping app's for some time.

There seems to be something about some of the 'tards in that they like to bend over for the debunkers again and again.

Almost as if they like it.

Rubbish!

He's 80% for the idea that it's not rigged and the other 20% could well be "don't know".

An absolute certainty that there is no 'God' is just as illogical as an absolute certainty that there is. In both cases there is certainty with incomplete evidence.
