I'm sorry if I've got the wrong end of the stick Wiki, but it really comes across as if you think you run this thread, (probably cue 'comedy' response saying how you do run this thread.)

You resort to trying to be funny at times, rather than answering a question, yet other people get shot down for this and accused of dodging the issue.

Wat?

You really are a bit of a muppet, aren't you?

How does a facetious comment imply that someone thinks they 'run' a thread - whatever that means.

And if anyone seems to think I run the thread it would be you since you were whining at me because I didn't go on the offensive when Monty made a minor slip.

I've already, in effect, answered that question many times. It's not my fault if you're too thick to understand.

Looking at your posts today it seems as if you believe that you run the thread given the number of people you've taken to task because you don't like the way they've responded.

I have responded to people who replied to me. You like to have your say in everything. This thread appears to be called, 'the great poker is rigged debate, last post by Wiki.'

I suggested you think you run this thread, as you appear to make the rules, one set for people who share your views and one for people who don't.

You shoot down people, (those who don't share your views), on any irrelevancy you find, spelling, grammar, poker knowledge, knowledge of other subjects (17th century literature in one of my cases), any number of other irrelevancies which don't spring to mind right now.

You and people who agree with you are allowed to answer questions by trying to be humorous, yet anyone who doesn't share your views is accused of dodging the issue.

Not going to turn it further into a personal attack, nor bore people with another of our arguments, that's just my opinion. This thread is very difficult at times, as I say there are 10-15 of you who refuse to speak out against each other at any time, yet are happy to pick on people who are 'easier targets.'

As I've said before Wiki, I've been told you've had several accounts banned in the past, which would certainly suggest, you don't always conduct yourself in an appropriate manner and if people did their jobs properly, you wouldn't infact be here at all.

By the way have you even tried the Probability forum yet?

Funny, when I looked at it in the index a moment ago the last poster was 'FatedToPretend'.

You really are the most incredibly obtuse person, aren't you?

Either I don't run the thread, in which case whether I think I do (I don't, BTW) is irrelevant.

Or I do, in which case bugger off until you learn how to talk sense.

If by 'shoot down' you mean: point out errors of fact or logic, then, yes, I do. That is one of the main purposes of any forum. To allow debate - something that necessarily involves some pointing out the errors of others. (And having one's own errors pointed out, of course - since the last time I checked I was far from infallible.)

Who is allowed to do what is a matter for the site owners and the moderators, not the shills, riggies or 'tards.

And then there are quite a few who just like to whine.

So what are your concerns actually based on? And yes I'm a shill. A freelance shill against ignorance.

Thats nice and all but cake poker also had a nice webpage blurb about their encryption which proved to be incorrect or have you forgotten about that

Purely for fun, let's say the analysis spade did was entirely of ipoker hands that definitely prove nothing is wrong with the site and they are not making you the target of beats to your $200 bankroll.

What do you do then?

One thing we know you will never do is post any questions in the probability forum, but curious what you think you would do in this scenario.

Personally, I know that nothing would actually change as you would find a way to twist it into a still unresolved scenario to keep your faith that something may be wrong with ipoker alive in your mind, but feel free to lay out step by step what you would do with your beliefs and poker in general if spade's study was heavily with ipoker hands.

Could make for a fun read before you and Wiki degenerate into yelling about educational systems or whatever.

All the best.

I don't think anyone who knows has said which site(s) the hands are from, as I posted before ...

And if you actually read spadebidders site, you will see that most of the datasets are identified as 'Site A" or "Site B", so if spadebidder is privy to which site is which, he's not telling either.

Ok, what did they tell you when you emailed them and asked if Cake is indeed one of their customers?

I have no input on the RNG.

However, I was very aware that the seating in STTs and MTTs, 18 months ago was far from random. Surely, anyone who played during this period and earlier would have been aware of this!

Could someone explain if there is or is not a connection between the part of the software that randomly generates seating and who gets the button and that of the generation of cards?

I had the same thought when I saw that. Even though I was sure it couldn't be true from previous IP checks, I ran one anyway. Unless Monteroy is able to pull off overseas travel in 13 minutes...no.

Your stats are using sharkscope for all games played:

Past 3 months: 3075 games - $11,399 losses

Past 6 months: 4,440 games -$25,400 losses

Past 1 year: 5,551 games -$24,528 in losses


Your year graph is basically a downward steep diagonal line with 2-3 big score spikes, not the dripping down with a lot of spikes graphs better MTT players have for their graph.


You should not be playing poker. It is not because it was hyper night or it was raining or it was because of Lizard Men manipulating deals in secret ways or anything else.

YOU should not be playing poker, and I am not saying this as a means to insult you either, as I actually found your back story you posted a while ago to be more interesting than you expected, which is probably why I keep at this when I should know better.

Anyway, as I said I will not reveal your screen name unless you choose, but your stats and graph can't be explained away due to variance or bad luck or rigging or moon alignment or "hyper night" anything else. It's you as a player.


Take a 2 week break and speak to the people I mentioned before, then go from there.
i just want to take this time to thank you personally for motivating me to make a change after you publicly humiliated me... a change for the better a change that was needed a change that is gonna save my life... i appreciate all the shills in this thread who motivated me to figure out the workings of the rng and to realize there is more to it then mathematically true based results and exploit it for once in my life to increase my ev and now my actual ev distribution of chips is starting to match up..... ty very much shills... Thank you so much for motivating me to change. I would like to point out a quote from a very intelligent man.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

*these results are not from 1 omg bink its a bunch of small 1k and 2k scores in mtts adding up.
