Re: Sites Have Motivation to Reward Poor Players. Period.
I guess I'll say something useful:
Its quite evident that it would be in the site's best interest to do this kind of rigging. I agree that it would be harder to detect than your general run-of-the-mill extortion in a business.
However, being a CS Master's graduate has given me the insight that making this kind of "rig" be favorable towards fish yet undetectable at the same time would be very hard to accomplish successfully.
Moreover, the negative implications, if caught, would be disastrous. A previous poster stated that other companies would do this for an increase in short-term profits.
Poker sites are huge cash cows right now (at least the big ones). I see no reason to try to increase short term profits at the risk of losing long term wealth.
In short, you make a valid point about the REASONING a company would do this, I agree with you. I just disagree in the likelihood of this actually happening.
