btw, how exactly did you determine that we're getting cheated out of half our winnings?

New fish join everyday and you think it would be easy to code a program to help along these fish? How the **** would that even work from a coders view.

this

also take a look a t some of the awesomely bad sharkscope graphs posted in this forum. When are these bad players gonna get rewarded? Some of their graphs are a near perfect 45 degree downward angle with minor variance!

You are ******ed.

I'm one of the weaker players, and I'm constantly going busto. They don't funnel **** back to me. They just take all my money.

I play online and am a losing player...its just small money I play and I enjoy it. But I worked at crypto logic back 15 years ago when Starlight gaming was launched and can tell you with 100% accuracy that software can be manipulated to spread money around. If you think about it the few really high volume winning players are also so of the most vocal on the message boards...coincidence?

He's right, they are pushing a certain amount of the money back to bad players, and I see it every day.

For instance:

Strong Player: AA
Weak Player: TT

The weak player is really bad and gets the money in preflop cause he's weak LDO.

I have seen upwards of 20% OF THE TIME the Weak Player winning in this situation. It's LUDICROUS! The Strong Player should definitely win 100% of the time because he is the stronger player.

RIGGED!

The deal on AP and UB was legit.

Do you have any proof to back up these allegations? All of the stats that I have examined check out. All of the stats that I've heard of other people examine have checked out.

Everything seems fine.
