You sit around getting high while ten tabling 2NL? No wonder you think it's rigged against you, you don't have very well developed decision making abilities, do you? I'm having trouble even thinking of something less productive than getting baked and ten tabling 2NL. Maybe repeatedly stabbing yourself in the eyes with a fork. Or try counting the grains of sand on the beach. Or just leave poker out of it, get high and watch TV Land.

I always figure there's a little guy in India with a finger on some button who controls when I win or lose. What else could it be?

Please remove your tinfoil hat.

The lizard people need to make some adjustments to your mind.

We thank you for your cooperation.

I can't tell you how many times (at least 100 times the past thee weeks) where someone needs one card, especially two or three hours into a tournament, and they hit when odds are 90 to 95% in my favor.

You tell yourself that's poker until it happens time after time after time.

I enjoy playing poker online but I'm about ready to give it up. There doesn't seem to be a site to where it plays out like a casino. You see bad beats in a casino but NOTHING like Full Tilt and Poker Stars back when I played over on that site.

Curious as to others observations. Is there a site that's on the up and up or is it time to retire from online poker where you start to get the feeling the deck literally is stacked against you?
I thought we should just start over and answer every single post from the past.

Here is my contribution, who is next?

Dear Okie Hustler,

What you are experiencing is a bad run of variance.

If you cant handle the downswings, you will never make it to the big leagues.

Sincerely,

Donko The Clown

edit: I thought I would bring a vintage feel back into this thread for old times sake. Aren't you guys getting that fuzzy feeling again?

Oh I don't care if he see's it, I just thought it would be fun to answer a really dumb and old post. Plus, I still get my dollar for replying. I checked the Shill terms and conditions site and couldn't find anything stopping me from collecting an easy dollar.

I vote that the newest shill Donko handle this situation in explaining the logic of a huge company rigging a small stakes hand against a specific player in such a subtle manner. Have fun with the xenophobe who lacks the ability to quote people properly as well if you are up for it.

Consider it a form of shill hazing.
