Something amazing happened today I noticed. I was playing at the $1+.10 Buy in (just for fun and maybe win $15 top price). And right when I was in 6th and with 12 players out of 50 remainning, I received an error message saying:

Due to technical problems your tournament has been cancelled. Your buy in has been refunded to you

I know this is only a $1 tourney, but what about all the other tourneys? The $10, $20, $50 and $100 Buy-Ins? What about all the players that got eliminated? Does the site get to keep their money without honoring the price pool?

Does anyone have an explanation here besides the fact that it is a mean to make extra $?

This is the stupidest rigged theory i've ever heard. If sites did this on a regular basis, they would lose all their players. If this happened to me twice at one site I would never play tourneys there again.

You ppl make it sound like you get super suckouts every hand. If sites were actually doing this they would lose lots of ppl. There have to bee ppl that are winning and staying around. The whole idea of a casino is that they have a small edge over many random events. The main purpose of this is so that ppl dont lose their money too fast. If ppl lose their money really fast they wont come back. So if rigged sites go too far ppl will leave, and they lose there guaranteed millions. It has absolutely nothing to do with them getting caught or not. People like you are never coming back, thats money they are losing. People like you are posting to msg boards and scaring off potential customers. Sites are already losing business, why would they want to promote this trend for some extra short term profit.

Think about how many millions of hands get dealt a day online. Somebody some where is going to get a huge streak of suckouts. What are they going to do? They are going to come on the internet with their 'proof' of how the sites are rigged. If sites are rigged why are there so many ppl making a living from online poker. Its so stupid.
