Re: A possible explanation?
The game you described doesn't sound at all rigged. Particularly the T on the turn, which would just induce a fold from you. I think you're just being paranoid. I wouldn't even really consider it a bad beat.
It does remind me of a home game I played when I was a kid. I was with about six friends playing poker when my sister brought back some friends and one of them joined in. He was a friend of a friend that she didn't really know. Anyway, he played a pretty LAGgy game and did very well. Can't remember the buyin, but it would have been around $20. At about four in the morning we decide to call it quits, and I end up being the dealer for the last hand. Of course, I deal myself black aces on the last hand of the night in my own house and I hit a set on the turn. Well, I won the pot but I was so embarrased I didn't even take that much from him, and he was the agressor most of the way. Even I thought that it felt rigged. |

Re: A possible explanation?
How about this theory. It's so easy to stack the deck by how you pick up the discards, and then do a bad shuffle leaving the top cards on top, that playing with no cut creates a Temptation for anyone who knows how to do this. It may be the guy had no intention of cheating and had no intention of becoming a cheat, but with the amount of money being so trivial he couldn't resist the temptation and impulsively did it as a lark just to see if he could do it. This would also explain why it wasn't a perfect loaded deck with the Turn scare card.
I might leave my cash roll out on my desk when I'm alone. But when a friend comes over, even if he is a years long friend I would trust to the hilt, I still put the money away. It's just good form. PairTheBoard |

Re: A possible explanation?
It wasnt rigged when you rivered the straight, and it wasnt rigged when he flopped the nuts.
