Thus, possibility of four of kind in twos is lessened second time, because memory is in the cards, yes?

So, um, you're equating yourself and fellow riggies to people who harbour terrorists and need a large financial inducement to turn them in?

And equating poker sites who have been accused of cheating by a handful of people with no evidence to known terrorists who will openly admit to being behind the killing of hundreds or thousands of fellow human beings?

You excellent logic and reasoning skills shine through once again.

Well then you have things twisted just as I do. Barney Maddoff swindled how much money? How many years was he sentenced? Like 80+ years? I'm not going to have a dbate semantics, but I've heard of child molestors and rapists serving less time....This is the world we live in, I could go on and on.

If there is corruption in online poker, we're talking about $30+billion revenue gap to exploit.

Wasn't my idea...but if somebody was going to put in $500, why not do it the right way...

Please no more!

I can't read about another rigtard comparing online poker to a ponzi scheme

There is no eveidence online poker is rigged. And until you can provide evidence that it is rigged, please don't compare online poker to the biggest fraud the world has seen

You are missing the point. The point is that rewards aren't offered so upstanding citizens have motivation to turn people in. Rewards are given to encourage scumbag accomplices/relatives/friends of the person to turn them in when they wouldn't have without the money. So basically, with your Bin Laden analogy you are comparing rigtards to people who associate themselves with terrorists. Do you see now how the analogy fails? A normal citizen would not need a reward to turn in or give information in regards to a criminal, but those with a vested interest in harboring criminals/terrorists do.

Ok, Ok, let's back up...Perhaps we're "splitting hairs here." Understand, I am more then certain that there will never be a statistical study showing games are NOT rigged by the RNG. My point was just that you made above. The game is manipulated by players, period.

Put up the money somebody comes forward. Of course if what I'm saying is like offering a million dollar reward for somebody to bring forth a Lizard Person, then it should be dead money...

Will be impossible to do a study that convinces everyone, how exactly do you disprove superbots, entropy effect or bad beats based on being on a laptop? Or Lizard People?

Pretty sure spadebidder's study along with all of the other work players have done have covered most of the rational possibilities just fine. Pretty sure as well that most riggies here know that and they are merely venting after a bad beat in a $5 tournament.


What will impress me is any of the following:

1) A riggie trying to exploit their beliefs for profit

2) A riggie showing a hand history from above a $10 tournament

3) A riggie, and an occassional shill, showing they are actually a winning player with transparent disclosure of their play

shills,props, owners, need not reply to this post.only those that have been victom's of the big stack rig that is always present on Party Poker on all their game even on their freeroll tournaments.I believe, on free roll tournaments, if you do not have any money in your account you are "dead meat". Also if you have a bonus working you are "dead meat until its gone. OK victoms what do you think

One of the following is true:

Option one: Party Poker runs marketing exercises (freeroll events) to make people hate their services (online poker).

or

Option two: You are long term loser at freeroll events because you are bad at poker.


I acknowledge your belief that option one is true. I, however, think option two is slightly more likely.

Yes Party Poker are robbing you of $2.50 in Freeroll events.. They go out of their way to make sure people with no money in their account don't win $2.50.

Is this a level? Because if you are serious...

So if i had solid proof online poker was rigged. But i couldn't show a HH above $10 and i wouldn't disclose my username that wouldn't impress you?

What will impress me with regards to poker being rigged is if a riggedfolk shows me proof its rigged. All of what impresses you is irrelevant to proving if online poker is rigged or not and has more to do with penis measurements.

Party Poker is not rigging your account when you play freerolls.

I have played SNGs and tourneys where I have had a small stack (under 5bbs and doubled up 4 or 5 times )
