The great "Poker is rigged" debate - Collected threads edition - Page 891 - Internet Poker

Meaning I havent been able to move up like you?
I think I might actually have voted "NO" in the above poll some time ago by the way.
Anyway why would anyone assume that a company would be honest? companies are result oriented. their objective is to make money. by any legal means.

How many Hands have you played? being a Physics Ph.D. you must realise that variance can be a bitch, right? There are millions of players out there so the odds that someone will take as many coolers as you is just standard, these things happen in poker we have to get used to it

Definitely a beat.

You should definitely keep depositing, except start playing SNGs. And if you see any player with 'mich' in their name sit at that table.

Oh and if you think online is rigged, don't bother playing at The Vic.

In a lot of cases dishonesty is illegal.

Do you see why evidence is considered so important?

No wonder the banks are in such a mess

If this is not a level how on earth can someone with your education not understand the variance involved in poker

The part where you played nl600 for a whole month and only made 1k, less than two buyins, and the part where you had a 3k bankroll for online

Like I said I didn't read any further (so like 85% of your post went unread) but I'm sure it was all lies like the first 15%

Oh I get it. Trying to stop others from falling for the same sucker punch that got me makes me the bad guy.

yes it s important

Is it very rare that a very good poker player beats as high as NL600 when they "cash out when they have reached £3000 each time" (cashing out when you're ahead is bad thinking). Also, you haven't posted any hands for analysis in the forums. Also, you're complaining about what sounds like standard variance. In BBV? And you're expecting not to get flamed? This doesn't sound very smart or logical. However, you claim you did a PHD in physics, so something doesn't add up. Either this is a really gay level, or you simply have no idea what you're doing imo.
