Is online poker Rigged in any sort of way

grahamasters

Here is probably the most asked question again you all know that my da and ma probably spend th best part of 8 to 12 hrs playing online and in thier opinion every site is rigged to get the most cash out of the online players and also to increace the amount of variance of level of players. these site say because we are playing more hands per hour we tend to see more bad beats but has any one ever managed to work this out on a percentage scale where it can be compared. in doing this we probably must redefine a bad beat. i dont consider a bad beat to be anything more than 20% to 25% chance of someone sucking out on you but anything less than that might be considered a bad beat that is alittle hazy, so wat do you all think

People have analysed multi-million hand databases and found everything as it should be.

This.

You only here talk like that from losing players. If they spent 1/2 as much time and effort to work on their game as they do moaning and degen'ing it up they would begin to make da monies.

Last night first I lost a coin flip with AK vs a guy with JJ. Just 5 minutes later, I got JJ, push, and the SAME guy calls me with AK and hits the K on the river! I was suppose to win 50% of the times, but lost both! Then don't tell me that online poker is not rigged!!! :eek: :pac:

Last night I had pocket 5's and got another 5 on the flop. Pushed all in and some idiot called me but won with a back door flush. Next hand I had pocket jacks and did the same, flopped a set, same guy calls me with connected rags yet again and gets a back door flush. I was pretty mad to say the least. But I know it is not rigged, just keep getting bad beats.

Those hands, you gotta fold them preflop. You only flopped a set..... :pac:

By the way, I got a friend of a friend of a friend who once in 2006 lost with a flopped set against an overset...how rigged is that??? :eek:

You seem to be missing the point. You speak as if nobody is making money from online poker apart from the online poker companies which is just wrong altogether. Online poker is a lot tougher than live. If you put the work in you will advance. Study your game, post hands you are having difficulty with as well as actively participating in hands others have posted, be aware of why you are playing etc etc...the list is endless.

Post number 2 has it, sorry to lock but these threads crop up every now and then and descend into silliness.
