think we might have to start a new forum, or get a moderator soon...this place is deteriorating rapidly.

Once, JUST ONCE, I would like some of these people who claim this to come forward with some data.

If it was "juiced to induce action", show us how monster hands have occurred more frequently than probability would suggest over a significant sample.

I recently looked at my pokertracker HH's for the last 50,000 hands and found that I am getting dealt AA and KK or spiking hands like sets and full houses almost exactly as often as I should. And my AA/KK was winning showdowns just about as often as would be predicted.

So, by all means keep playing and don't worry about it. Judging by the quality of your post and logic you are the kind of player we all want to keep online.

what this boils down to, very simply, is someone's inability to handle a bad beat, or a series of bad beats. someone makes a hand that they weren't favored to, so obviously, online poker must be rigged (or at least "on the up and up"). i always enjoy how folks say, "it must be rigged, he drew out on me when i was an 80% favorite, wtf?!". nevermind that the other guy is SUPPOSED to win 1 in 5 times. of course, then they inform me that it's happened 3 times in a row. good god...

seriously, please come back when you have a few thousand sng's under your belt AND some sort of tangible data that shows an irregularity in bad beats that is too great to be the result of simple variance. until then, do us all a favor and stop posting. thank you.

Canada baby! We dont get taxed on gambling winnings.

We COULD get taxed if we declared it as income though.

Sure about that? We certainly don't get taxed if its not our primary source of income. You might have a hard time proving that if you ever get audited though. If you've done any research on this I'd love to know the loopholes.

Anyone who has been on bodog can relate to what I'm saying. You flop a str8 someone has 2 pair and makes a full house on the river. You fop a full house someone has 3 of a kind and loses their stack.

So sometimes it works to your advantage and sometimes it doesn't.

HAHAHA that last line is great

WOOOOOOW!!!! 1 or 2 days CRAZY.Come on.We all know what you are talking about.It has a name.Its POKER.You should remember that there is 2 to 3 times as many hands dealt online opposed to live play and that is if you are only playing 1 table.So you are going to see alot more strange things happening.Hopefully this might shine a light on things for you.Dam some of you guys are brutal to this poster.Sounds like this might have just started. MAY ALL YOUR ACES GET CRACKED
