All you riggies who are spending so much time discussing the motives of the poker sites, you should spend some time reading the
Stoxtrader alleged cheating thread in HSNL.
Try to note how much time is spent on motives and how much time is devoted to people pulling up stats and discussing them. Look at how individuals showing detailed stats based on their own handhistories. Look at the discussion and debate over sample size.
Will the end result prove collusion? I don't know. It's the process you folks should be concerned about.
Motives aren't very useful in these types of discussions: all they do is establish whether it makes sense that a certain individual committed a certain act. Let's ITT just accept that the sites have motive to rig, for the sake of the argument. Let's put that completely behind us, because once you've established motive, it serves no more useful purpose in proving your allegations.
Riggies: the sites have motive to rig. Ok, we've established it.
Now: how they gonna rig without getting caught? If they have can't rig without getting caught: why has no one caught them? If its just because no one has tried? Then you try. Come up with a hypothesis, test it, see where we get.
But STFU about motives, kai?
