Some did. But once the hand histories were out, the skeptics were convinced pretty much instantly. Anyone who understood even a little bit about Texas Holdem could look at those hands and tell that Potripper could see everyone's cards.

I'm pretty sure you're intelligent enough to understand why the two examples are not the same.

I know, right? My life suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks. It blowwwwws to be 7 years into a happy marriage where the wife makes a good salary, I have a degree and career experience to fall back on, just in case I'm not making enough money playing poker on the interwebs part time. I HATE having the flexibility to go on trips whenever I want. Life is so busy!

I wish I could live the life of a paranoid rigtard.

Simple, he would have gotten away with it if he wasn't so greedy. The sites know they can rig the outcome to keep the donks bankrolled and not be caught in the HH.

Here is an anecdotal short story by the great Mathematics text book author Ian Stewart based on the premise that it is not been formally proven that all prime numbers must be even.

I bet she will only put up with another 6-12 months tops in this economy of you making only 8k-10k for the year playing poker and will start putting pressure on you to go back into the workfroce. Shes just not gonna buy your story of "turning the corner to 6 figures any day now" much longer. It's too bad becasue i dont doubt that by now you have become a good player like myself but im sure that if the sites werent rigged you be making a lot more.

That's why I got the statistics and checked just how hot he was running.

Hey Josem, do you still have the "special" hand history witht he ips and all that. Could you link it so we can run tests on it too. I will handle the search for prime ip addresses portion of the study. Thanks.

It is probably on the internet somewhere. You can look for it if you care.

lollllll

Yeah, I went from grinding 40 hours a week of poker and making a real salary to part time play and making what amounts to a mere supplement to the household income. Not a bad supplement though factoring in rakeback and referral commissions.

That much is true. Hard to stay motivated to grind full time year after year. So I actually took it upon myself to tell her I was going to jump back into the workforce (was actually more desirable of an idea after a while than playing 40 hours of poker per week)....

... at which point she said she preferred having me home and told me NOT to go back into the workforce. My life suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks ROFLMAO.

So now I just play poker and the stock market, and manage the household finances. It's a tough life but somebody has to live it.

Gotta laugh at the ignored rigtards in this thread who keep getting quoted. Not only do they think they see patterns of riggedness, they think they know intimate details of people's lives based on unrelated interweb forum posts.

If you have a problem with his posts, you should report them.

FWIW, NFuego's posts are usually in response to somebody. Bucketfoot is just randomly posting the same thing multiple times in response to no one. But it would be up to a mod of this forum to decide if that's an important difference and/or if either of them deserves a warning or infraction.

ugh if that happens fml Although he'd be quite a hypocrite saying that the most important thing is a championship while leaving this team for the Knicks. We'll see. As a Cleveland sports fan I'm always prepared for the worst.

lol poor markusgc

LOL, By the way I've had certain unnamed mods request the muppet picture on occasion when it was truly warranted. Not in this thread specifically. It's not my fault "you're a muppet" has become legendary. Just catering to the fans.

Let me see . If a mod asks someone to post something for their desires but lacks the courage to do it themselves do you feel used or would a shill do that to please those who ask ? I just find it hard to fathom that anyone in that position would ask someone to do this or that anyone would do that if asked . Am I off base on this point ? But most of us have to stand on our own , right or wrong in our views , agreeing or disagreeing with others points as well . I am just to old school for the muppets . Not even sure I could name any of them .
