I might fret for an instant over someone who meekly is calling and miracles a river. But when a guy is raising and re-raising me the whole way and then gets there, it naturally sticks in my craw for a while longer!
Sticky this sht right here!!! For the riggies, this should be read over and over before logging in and donating on their favrite site. Knowing the truth can sometimes better prepare you for the poker reality that is aka VARIANCE!

You shills try way too hard and it makes you look bad.

For those of you riggies who might not get it yet:

Variance is like a woman. Sometimes no matter how perfect you are and no matter what you do, she will be a bitch! And there's nothing you can do about it!

(I may have used another concept you will never understand.. women) sorry

That isn't what he said. He said (paraphrasing) that most people, besides savants, aren't capable of remembering the true ratio of lucky wins to unlucky losses over time. Read up on selective memory for many proofs of why this is true. Particularly studies of traders who bet on markets or stocks.

I have played 5,960 hands so far this week. There is no way any human can perform any meaningful analysis of that based on memory alone unless they were raised by carnies and trained as a grifter to cheat at cards since they were four years old.

The general population re-elected George W Bush. Is that really where you want to place your trust?

I'm going to follow Monteroy's example and permanently retire from this thread. It was fun for a while, but now it's just repetitive. If anyone want my opinion on something or needs help running some interesting numbers then I'm easy to find.

Plus, poofinger is apparently winning.

Yeah, save your sanity. I think it is time to lock this thread up and flush it. It is funny sometimes though. Only reason why I come here now...

Wouldnt the selective memory theory show up in the bankroll? "I feel like ive lost more hands than ive won but i havent lost any money so it must be selective memory".

A rigged software, and loosing is not the same.
If the sites give you a -2 BB / 100 handicapp and you are a 5BB / 100 winner you still make money. So you feel its rigged but still win

I am break even and have no big interest in playing since they reduced the bonus and RB offers.

I never really trust onlinepoker.

There is no doubt that any regular use any way to have an advantage, a few use only trackers..others try other software.

Look only to your results and decide if you want play or let it be.

AP/UB allowed someone (who may very have been involved in the company) exploit a vulnerability in their software. Several sites have disappeared with players' money. Planet Poker had a problem with their RNG publicized, it wasn't hacked.

Relevance?

Not even sure what this means. Relevance?

Sounds more like pooflinger -3 universe 0 to me.

On the positive side for you, the race for most consistently terrible poster ITT is going quite well. I think you might be edging out in front of bucketfoot, but it's still very close.

obviously that's the case, because the "rigging questions" are just complaints from people with cognitive biases.
