Well let's see. FullTilt did not pay back American players. They are using this as an excuse to justify stealing money.

A friend of mine works for the Kanhawakee gaming commission and he told me that he is able to log in, play poker and see eveyone's hole cards.

I live in Canada and I ran like **** on Stars ever since US players got locked out.

This would not surprise me one bit. Why do people call out on these "rigtards" for saying something that can so easily be possible? Online Poker is an unregulated industry. They can do whatever the hell they want and get away with it. You are free not to play.

Not sure if OP's logic is right but I'd be whiling to bet that at least some of the online Poker activities are not totally legit. Their founders got arrested for a reason.

That's interesting considering that neither FT or Stars has used Mohawk hosting for their games in years. They both moved to the British isles quite a while ago. Your friend has a magic device I guess.

    My father brought this up yesterday after a discussion he had with some friends all of whom play online poker (the majority of them unprofitably). I'm not sure exactly where this idea originated, but they were saying that since Black friday that the online sites are favouring European players. I was the first one to say that's ridiculous, but he continued to explain the logic behind it. Due to the huge loss of American players which made up close to 50% of overall traffic (stat pulled from my ass), apparently they have this theory that cards are favouring euro's to get more of them to play. Supposedly a european player would make some cash, see how 'easy' it is, tell friends, and so on. Apparently a few or none of my father's friends had looked up stats on top american players since black friday, and they haven't been winning, whereas no name eurodonks have been apparently cleaning up.

    Just wondering if anyone has heard anything like this lately and if there was more widespread speculation about what's happening. Apologies if this is in wrong forum.

    With a bit of research you will find those that believe the sites rigged the games for Americans (and some who believe the US facing sites continue to do so).

    Have your father speak to those riggies and perhaps they (and your father) can cancel each other out with their made up beliefs.

    Good luck.

    I am american and moved to canada post BF. The games have never been softer and I have never been winning as much. This goes for all the other american cash players I follow.

    The games are better and we are winning more. You, your dad and your friends just suck at poker

    As soon as they were indicted, the heads of the major poker sites figured that the first order of business was to meet with their programmers and tell them to rewrite the software to make Europeans win more - and have it ready to go the next day. Makes about as much sense as the other riggie theories.
