Default Re: Theories on how online poker is rigged?

Unfortunately this goes back to what I refer to as the "muck problem", in that I won't be able to see a lot of the starting hands for the noobies. Namely the ones they don't win. Also there's the problem of knowing how long someone has been on a site, if I didn't have accounts at quite a few rooms I'd register a new account at most the sites, and run analysis on my starting hands. That's an idea I'll keep in the back of my head for the next site I start up at though.

The collusion problem would be VERY COOL to check out, because I know for a fact it's happening, not only between small groups of people but as a whole business. Just check pokermafia.com. Unfortunately, proving any hypothesis about it would be way too hard, I'd love to work on it, but there's no testable hypothesis. Hopefully the poker sites are on to this kinda cheating and are taking countermeasures. Once again thanks for all the ideas, got a lot of data to read through now.

Matt
