Why do people find the need to convince others that online poker is fair and square? I just don't get it. If you are a winning player good for you. Why do you guys have to bash naysayers into the ground?

I can see maybe because you don't want the accusations to scare away fish.. However, it's not like the fish read the posts on this site anyway.

Seems a bit retarded.

Because if you guys were such winning players as you claim it would not be worth your time.

You registered on 12/01/03. Today's date is 10/31/05. By my count, that's 1 year and 11 months, not 3 years, or about 700 days.

I think I see your problem.

Hey gabs. It's been so long you silly bitch!

Online poker is as legit as it's always been, but I can see that you still suck at it.

Gabyyy has a bit of a point though. What do you gain really by pushing somebody into the ground when they think poker is rigged? Is arguing with somebody's opinion really +EV?

If you were really concerned about +EV you would never open a thread started by Gabyyy.

Online poker's legitamacy is very important. Rigged = scared fish. However, the people who think its rigged are not gonna believe you that its not. It is a waste of time to try.

even just scaring the conspiracy theorists can help.
if they all get support from each other and start going crazy about it then they will be less afraid to talk about it at the tables.

so beating them down actually DOES have the effect of keeping them from scaring the fish.


although I do admit to having thought of gabbyyyy's idea before. why should we even care what the idiot's think?
But I'm more concerned with what the idiots are helping the other idiots think.


in the meanwhile, i'm still trying to figure out that whole '2000:1 odds on an inside-straight' bit....but that was way back in the day.

Because it's +ev to keep the fish in the game.

Quite simply, because when people spout moronic, illogical, whiny crap, it is human nature to attempt to explain reality to them. After becoming obnoxiously repetitive, it is human nature (and more fun) to mock them.

Not fair. Pointing out the obvious self-application of the OP rant was like taking candy from a baby.

I continue to get ticked off by people calling others "retarded" outside OOT. I admit I used this slur myself up until about 10th grade. This forum is not my property, so I don't make the rules, of course.

As for your original point:

Given the anecdotal evidence from my interactions with others and claims about the perception of online poker in the B&M world, I think it very important to promote the integrity of online poker games where such promotion is warranted.

I believe there is a meaningful pool of potential online players who avoid online poker because of an array of concerns about game integrity, money safety, legality, etc.

I love 2+2, but let's be honest, there are a lot of fish around here. The fish to good player ratio may not be what it is at a casino or even on some other forums, but there are still a good number of fish on these boards.
