I will refer you to this link.

Do you use a tracker that allows you to write your own filters? If so, then decide what it is you think is wrong with the deal and design a filter to test your hypothesis. If you actually find something you think is a problem, post here about it.

You should understand, though, that you won't find much sympathy here if all you do is rant about how you "know" it's rigged. Every player has those thoughts at times (usually early in their online careers), but so far, everybody who has taken the time to do a proper analysis of whatever data they have has found nothing suspicious. Everybody who has taken the time to do the math has discovered that the cards pretty much come out random.

Nobody has shown up with any kind of evidence that any site is rigged. Ever. That's why so many people lose patience with these theories. We've heard it all before. Repeatedly. We've even felt that way ourselves at times. I think it's a natural result of the fact that we can't actually see the cards being handled and dealt by human beings combined with the fact that we occasionally have soul-crushing bad runs.

Here's the truth, though: there is no evidence of any kind of rigging and there are vast mountains of evidence that the game is fair. That's just the way it is. You can either accept that and get on with improving your game, or you can waste your time worrying about whether you're being cheated and never allow yourself to get any better.

Well said.

I'm on a 38 buy-in downswing.

Damn you, PLO.

Your wrong. I played 6 tables one night. I waited. Layed in for people so to speak. 4 times I got pocket pairs and flopped sets, and lost all four. Sure, its not rigged. The company that tested those sites did not actually test live play. So when your lookin at a flop and you see two players go all In, what I am saying is that in no way does knowing you have the best hand indicate you have the

I guess this made sense to him when when he wrote it.

Taking a basic stats course does not mean that you have even started to get to grips with probability or the maths needed to make sense of it.

There is a great deal of very useful stats you can do that barely involves probability maths at all - you just get told how to do the calculations.

At least you are responding in a reasonably intelligent way to your belief that the sites are rigged.

I say reasonably because if you actually believe they are rigged to the extent that you can't make any money then why did you not just stop dead when you realised?

Now that I have some time on my hands I'm going to go over all of my hands where me or my opponent was allin with cards to come and calculate EV.

And zOMG I used a colloquialism in an internet post, I should be burnt at the stake!

Excellent!

Provided you have the maths to get the correct result.

I don't understand this. I didn't make anny comment about any colloquialisms.

Really? Then why didnt it happen until then? In a live game I'd agree with you...

How about this. Why do you think Absolute targeted specifically YOU for this
and why did they wait till near the money to target specifically YOU or this?

1 in 8 and 1 in 26 and even more unlikely things happen all the times in tournaments from start to end, yet somehow you are reading a special meaning in your loss in a $1 tournament.

Why? Explain how anyone who would target YOU for this benefits in any way. Without a motive the theory just comes down to basically super natural forces at work, which you are entitled to believe in if it makes you feel better. In terms of math, none of your beliefs add up (pun intended).

If you play on Absolute you're not even entitled to complain.

See thats what's funny. You think I'm here saying, that online poker is targeting me specifacly to lose. Negative. Not even close. Never even mentioned that it was all about me. I've seen hundreds of users here saying about the same thing. I've seen about 10-12 of the same people, saying things things just like you. So again let's divert the attetion off of what really happened to another problem or conflict that is non existant. That's dillusional. Let's talk about scenario's as to why this would would happen at this particular time....? Any thoughts...?

No comment? How come you guys aren't there on your crusade? Ahh, must not have jurisdiction there...or you know your going to get hit with an arguement you can't denounce?

Yeah, why NOT this particular time?

It all was writed before tk, just read from the begining. No reason to start the same discussion all over again.

Show your work here. Please do not come back and say "well I've done the analysis and have found it to be rigged" UNLESS that statement is followed by stats to back it up that can be independently verified.

Good luck though.

You mean "wrote?" I provided some facts to a case about a discussion that is still open and active....

And Monteroy please do not shout or yell in this discussion. Other users find that offensive and is against proper "netiquitte." Another outburst like that and you'll be reported...

No, he means written.

It is universally accepted that writing in capital letters is "shouting" at the reader, and, together with some of the content of your posts that I read, I regard this as being rude to other forum users.

What was the purpose of posting that link? Basically, it is just a guy wanting online poker to be regulated in the USA, and then being flamed for thinking RealDealPoker is the answer. Pretty useless and probably hurts your argument, but thanks for sharing.

lol. Poor tk.

You should post in that thread and see how people respond to your rigged theory's. You can also blow their minds with your insider info. plz

It's also considered rude (well really unethical) to accuse someone of cheating without proof.

If fit is not about you then what is it about?

That Absolute sets up random people to bust out near a bubble in a $1 tournament?

That Absolute sets up random people to get bad beat near a bubble in a $1 tournament?

What exactly is your theory to explain your situation (other then "I know something is fishy"), and again how would Absolute Poker benefit in any way from this?



And they tend to get asked the same questions that I have asked you. They never answer them and instead say that it must be true since other people say the same thing.

Lots of people believe in all sorts of things and conspiracies, that does not make them true, only that they have believe they are true.




My thoughts are simple in this matter. You got a bit unlucky and lost a couple hands. Basically a routine situation in a tournament.

I do not believe anything mystical is at work here to explain your loss. You seem to think something dark and mysterious is behind it so I again ask you what that would be that makes any sense?

You say they are not targeting you, then who do they target and why to suffer whatever you think is wrong here?

Just complete this sentence

I think I (and others) got cheated at Absolute poker, and this tournament proved it to me because...


Honestly, I cannot think of a rational and logical way to complete that based on your "data."

Feel free to show otherwise.

All the best.
