YOU'RE WELCOME -GIMMICK-

Ofcourse you have a brain, its why you question things. Unlike the ******s here who just assume.

Are you referring to yourself?

You are a ****** who just assumes online poker is rigged because you have the mindset of a person who cannot believe that anyone could possibly fail to take an opportunity to scam people if it was available.

In an anonomous "Arena" such as Online Poker, I feel that its more then justified to have this attitude and stance on the subject.

And the Super users didn't act on their own. Hence they were forced to sell their company. It's also speculated that a former high ranking employee of the KGC helped in cheat customers...B/c the KGC covers it up, it means it was done by individuals?
Whoever wrote that up top, QPW, why didn't you correct that?

So what you are saying is: "Because no one knows my name I will slander people and companies without a scrap of evidence as I cannot believe that anyone would pass up a chance to scam someone".

That tells us an awful lot about the way your mind works, tk1133.

None of it very pleasant.

What are you wittering on about, now?

The way lots of minds work...The one's that matter atleast...

You really do believe that everyone must be as crooked as you?

Honestly, does it really matter whether all online poker owners are dishonest or some of them? No one can argue that some may be honest, some may not be. That's not the main issue in the question of whether the deal is being rigged. The question is can it be done without it showing in the stats? If not, then it is extremely unlikely that that is a manner in which sites are cheating the customers and we shouldn't be paranoid about it. And if they are cheating the customers in that way, it is very likely they will be caught.

You guys don't seem to trust Spadebidder as an expert here, although his explanations have been incredibly detailed, but you don't seem to have any actual reason for doubting him. He has put his explanations out there, explained exactly why he has come to the conclusion that he has. I haven't seen one counterargument outside of secret undetectable schemes that somehow only the most devilishly clever programmers can come up with.

Sure, most of us aren't qualified to give a counterargument. Fair enough. But is that reason to doubt? Or is it reason to say, you know, I don't really understand this stuff. Here is one very skilled stats guy who has provided really detailed reasons for believing that the deal is random on the major sites. I wonder if anyone out there has equally persuasive data going the other way? Then go look for it.

But if you can't find any, then that is not a reason to just shout "well my gut says its rigged so it must be!"

This thread, when it comes down to it, is about critical thinking. This gets lost through the insults which is why if anyone really wants to convince the other side they should just drop the insults. You may find it fun, but don't be surprised - or complain - when your message gets completely lost in the shuffle (pun intended).

You really wanna know what changed it for me? I wrote this on here before, but I was playing a 33 dollar tourny on XXX. Not a .25 cent, but a 33 dollar tourny. I have 24k in chips, while blinds are at 50-100. 5th place out of about 800. I'm three handed on the bb w/ a 8, 3 limpers in front of me. I check. Flop comes A 8 K, raibow. I check, player2 bets 400, player 3 calls, I move all in b/c player 3 has 27k in chips, in 3rd place, did not want a suck out to knock me out of the tourny....

Player 2 folds and player 3 insta calls w/ JQ off suit. 27k, 270bb's with JQ off and miracly hits a ten on the turn for a gut shot str8 to knock me out of the tourny. Who does that?
Of course I have no proof as of now, b/c this was 3 years ago...But that's the honest to god's truth....Now you tell me that's dellusional?

I'm not at all clear on what conclusion you expect anyone to draw. Someone made a boneheaded move and sucked out on you. He may have erroneously thought that the dead money in the pot made up for the long shot, he might just like to gamboooooolllllll! I'm sure that sucked for you. But to turn that into a massive conspiracy with no other evidence? How do you justify that? Just because the owners of the sites MAY be dishonest? They deserve your constant attacks without evidence? Do you consider that to be moral?

No one is not saying don't be vigilant. Ironically, its the "shills" who have not just been telling people to be vigilant, but telling them how to be vigilant. You TK, and other rigtards never respond to the substantive posts (or if you have you've dismissed them) and just repeat over and over how naive the "shills" are. You refuse to even look at your stats (or if you do, you don't talk about it). You repeat over and over again how powerless you are, when that simply isn't true.

That's where it started is what I should of said. This site deserves my constant attacks WITHOUT me posting evidence....

There's lots of things I've never told this thread....

Of course this is a delusional belief.

It is based on the belief that a major site would alter the game of a $33 (as if that is a major amount) tournament, in which they already received their rake to somehow deprive specifically you of a hand win.

It is a classic case of delusions of grandeur. The reality is the site could not care if you won or lost a hand in a tournament, and that reality is a much colder one than yours which has you at the center of their universe as well. You are not that important. Nobody is.

Your other significant logic flaw is you cannot accept rational explanations of others behavior. Maybe it was just a bad player playing badly.

Look at this hand from the other day. Note the tournament is $55 so it is nearly twice as important as a 33 one...

Glenmorangie was raising and 3 bet shoving every hand (the funny part was people kept raising and folding to his shoves even though he always did that play).


He kind of messes up that whole small stacks lose too much rigged beliefs, so how about we go with the Stars favors donk concept. That's a popular riggedology belief.

Let's check his stats

http://www.officialpokerrankings.com...6B79A.html?t=2

Oops. He is quite good.

What actually was the case here was he was messing around in a MTT that was well below what he normally plays.



There was no evil agendas here, just a guy having fun playing in a maniac style who got lucky for a while before he busted. That's it.


This is why when you ask if you are delusional for creating paranoid conspiracy beliefs based on a single hand like this years ago the answer is a clear yes.


Just work on becoming a better player.

Mont. I didn't read your post in full yet. But I have openly admitted that I don't believe any RNG is rigged or favors any other player....

Well then, with all due respect TK, WTF are you doing here? If you have evidence, then provide it! Let it be evaluated. You will see all these "shills" line up behind you if it holds up! That's how 2+2 has brought problems to light in the past.

Otherwise, its just libel.

I've been saying the RNG is not rigged...I'm not going to create other threads to draw attention to myself in that manner, just to be merged...

I choose "life...."

Good post.

If you have evidence of wrongdoing, you should bring it forward. Do it through a mod if you are uncomfortable coming out yourself. But if you're not willing to present what you have, then you should keep quiet. Just attacking while hiding behind "you don't know what I know" is dishonest and unfair. You attack the companies' names without letting them know why or being able to defend themselves. That is not the "right" thing to do, whatever you may have convinced yourself.

PM a mod. PM any of the guys involved in uncovering the UB/AP scandal. You have something, bring it forward. Otherwise you should stop your incessant attacks.

Agree'd.

I actually disagree with you here. People shout all the time about stuff based on hunches and emotions. That does not make it libel, just that without any supporting evidence it pretty much ends at shouts that never really get heard or make a difference.

This thread is all about people shouting their paranoid beliefs or their legitimate beliefs in Lizard People. Many are just venting and some like even tk kind of know better and realize that all of their bluster is meaningless in and by itself without proof.

Sometimes they just like to vent. If they like adding "I know secrets" hey good for them. It makes them feel important.

Make fun of their logic gaps and reasoning skills, but the whole "you are perpetrating libel" is a tad over the top. It's not like any of the sites care about their secrets or beliefs, that's just part of doing business.

LIZARD PEOPLE?

Is this a joke.

PLease be serious. There are people who have concerns and are lookking for information.

Some have been kind to provide. Do not ridicule.

This is perhaps maybe why INTERNET POKER is a problem in U.S. Besides Indian Tribes with their bribes. As aside. Worst poker rooms have been Foxwood.

But if there was more openness and legal punishment for thieves at places like ULTIMAT BET. And the other.

So I take it your bet with Monteroy fell through because you were unwilling to escrow the money?

Well, it's probably technically libel (or would be if he's identified a particular site, I can't recall if he did, if not, then probably not.) But in any event, from wiki:

That being said, the damages are likely zero or close to zero (unless the company could show that someone quit the site, for example, explicitly due to TK's post).

That said, let's not overblow it. Whether or not its technically hyperbole, I was indeed using it in a hyperbolic sense in order to make a point.

$33? Really? This isn't a large sum of money to many people even if it is to you or I. However bad this play is he could be rich, stupid or drunk, or cheating as you seem to be suggesting.

Please do the following, if you haven't already:

1) Post the hand history to prove you aren't just making it up

2) Post the sharkscope / poker rankings / tableratings stats of the guy in question

Let me guess - you havent got the hand history? The poker site has deleted it? You conveniently don't read this? You only respond if you like what you see?
