I suppose you could always voice the arguement that some people plainly see above average luck, being why they win so much, and others plainly see terrible luck on a year in and year out basis. I’m sure no pro by any means, but I can promise u I’m the best break even player who’s posted on these bitchfest sites, lol. I’ll be back in a few months im sure…

I have documented thousands of hands on Full Tilt playing low money tourneys – Dominating v Dominated (ie. AK v A8) all in pre-flop (so you are playing blind)- my stats say you are the 58-42% mug with the best hand, miles away from what the true percentage should be – if it aint rigged why is this happening?

it is rigged, it makes people play more, so they can get maximum rake possible. I played about one week.
rake i Paid is about $50 and I made about 5 bucks.
So winner is partypoker everytime.

How come some days u win every hand, and some days u lose every hand, that’s all i’d like to know about online poker. for years i’ve refused to buy into the whole it’s fixed thing, but too many times have i seen just one chair win win win all day every person who sits in it no matter how they play, then another person lose every single hand. the best example i checked my stats, won 1 hand out of 112 b4 i went bust obviously. even if ur terrible, w/ an average of 7 at the table throughout the session, how do u get delt that dead? i still refused to beleive online sites r intentionally rigged, but i do beleive now there’s a glitch in the hands that r “randomly” delt.

Its defo Rigged, anyone who says it isnt just shut the fuck up, people are loosing so much money because of internet poker, bad players win too much and xavier for someone who studied stats u talk a lot of shit, everything u say is true in poker but it just does not play out that way online, the high %’s loose too much, good players loose too much, players who are winning in casinos are loosing thousands online, look at the amount of ppl complaning!! Poker is a beautiful game and people say its rise is due to internet poker, well now that there are millions of playres there is no longer need for internet poker, virtually evety city and town in europe and america would have enough poker fans to sey up poker clubs and MTTs, and there would be fuk all rigging with real cards bar the odd genius who is able to hide pocket aces up his top.

It’s all a SCAM. Internet Poker used to be legit during the earlier days but it’s certainly RIGGED today. Tourneys are rigged to finish faster and cash games are rigged to help the fishes stay even. Its gotten so bad that even withdrawing your money is a gamble itself. Whatever you do, never deposit! There are many ways to play for real money without depositing so don’t deposit. Don’t feed those thieving scumbags until the industry changes.

to anyone who wants to c how pro’s really do in these online poker tourneys try http://www.propokerlabs.com it tracks nearly every player on a ton of sites, just look urself up first if u dont beleive me, u’ll c that nearly all live game pros r losers online. online poker isnt fixed as much as it is impossible to win due to the rake and having no real idea what ur opponent is holding behind his screen. plus to those who just blah blah blah i never lose, that’s because even over the course of years some players r far more fortunate than others, u dont get in w/ ur KK five tourneys in a row preflop only to c ur opp flip over AA and bull like that. but that’s all the b****in i shall do…

In response to dik head said:
If you are holding AdAh while your opponent holds 5c4s and the flop comes 2h3h7d

Your opponent would still have about a 1 in 5 chance of winning.

If you would like to educate yourself, you can download Poker Stove and input hands and ranges to find %’s.

Many people play piss poor poker and get lucky. This does not mean that they have inside information. It just means that they are bad players. You should be happy to see them at your table, knowing that, in the long run you will get your money back from them (if you play smart.)

Just to counteract the argument before it arrives: I do no work for any poker room online or off.

My above post should say “Complaining all over the internet is bad for poker.” All these negative comments could scare off new players. Players who are critical to the growth of the poker community.

Bots may be a real issue. If you search you will find that there is a whole community of poker botters. Fortunately, most poker bots and losing players; and the amount of time, effort, and knowledge which would be required to make a successful bot creates a large barrier to entry.

Some web-site prohibit the use of bots. Some actively enforce these rules and others do not. Some websites do not care because the bots generate rake and traffic. A company has limited resources and perhaps some feel that their resources are better spent elsewhere. If you think that you have encountered a bot then you should notify the poker room. Also, check their TOS to see what their policy is towards poker bots.

And as many have said before; if you feel that you are being cheated then take you money and go elsewhere. Complaining all over the internet is bad poker- Instead of being part of the problem, make yourself part of the solution.
