I decided to write a review/history of sites for new online skeptics and conspiracy theory believers. Try to get people up to speed and on the same page as fast as possible.
Party Poker - (F)
The Biggest of the sites with the most fish. The fish are there because the site is the king of the rigged deal. The deal has been shown by experts, although not well respected, to reward bad play. Good players are forced to become losers and eventually whiners.
Paradise - (F)
Was the biggest site before Party and also well known for their rigged shuffles. In there prime they were also known for the cash-out curse. If you managed to overcome the rigged deal and cashed out you would become a losing player from that point on.
Poker Stars - (F)
Or as they are affectionately known by the regulars - River Stars. You never want to be all in with the favorite on the river. I believe this is also known as the 78% rule.
Ultimate Bet - (F)
This site relies heavily on the action flop. Everyone gets a good hand here. Throw in their high rake and fast speed and they are making a bundle.
Smaller Sites - (F-)
What can I say they’re too small to be making the money the legit way. They just have to be rigged.
Former Sites
Poker Spot - (?)
Was Possibly the only site that did not have a rigged deal. This site would have obtained a high rating but unfortunately owners left taking every ones money with them.
