Party Poker rigged?

I've recently read an article written that claims the Party Poker shuffling system is anything but random. The author claims that there are obvious patterns developed to allow a good player to win for a while, and then go on horrible losing streaks to lose their money back to losing players, allowing PP to maintain a regular rake. This debate has gone on forever between my friends and I. Is party poker rigged or not? What reasons do you have to support your belief?

Party Poker is indeed rigged, but the edge that winning players is still just enough where we can overcome it. It's not really fair, but we have to live with it to keep the fish in the game.

I'm looking for an actual answer. I have a feeling this has been debated on this forum more than its share, but I really don't know. It's just a question. I don't care for sarcasm, just answers. If you don't have one, do not post.

Thank you for that reply.

I don't know what to write. I'm just shaking my head.

Actually, here's a thought: please don't clutter the SS with this, go post in the "Internet Gambling" forum. You'll be more warmly received.

He's kidding. I wish you were too.
