I would never joke around about something as serious as rigged online poker sites.

I once had TPTK and lost to a set on Party. Clearly rigged. I haven't played online poker since then. I'm no sucker.

I was talking to someone at a party the other day and she was telling me about how she suspected her roommate, an apparently somewhat dense man, of having a gambling problem. For example, offering to wager a month's rent on a game of pool, having to clear out his 401(k) to pay his bookie, that sort of thing. He said that live casinos are rigged. They let you win big at the tables early and then rig the decks/roulette wheels/dice so you lose everything back to them. She asked why he doesn't go from table to table and leave before they stack the odds. He didn't have an answer.

Anyway, consider that you may suck at poker. Good day.

Unbelievable!! Can't believe anyone can win at party with their first deposit.. i lost my first deposit($50) in half an hour.. i mean ive played in pacific poker, poker room, empire poker, golden tigerpoker and interpoker, but never ever have been so "lucky".. i lost two times my fullhouse cuz someone rivered a bigger one.. the i lost a set to a backdoor flush.. finally my last 10 bucks were lost with pocket rockets to a rivered set of queens.. PARTY POKER FUCKS WITH US!!! party is the reason im afraid of betting on the river unless i have the nuts.. rot in hell party

I have a feeling this is a regular posting messing with us, but I'll bite.

Aren't you suppose to win on your first deposit so you keep coming back? I've always heard the rig it in the favor of first time players.

And so it goes.
Thread starts off - "Party is rigged because I win at first, then lose"
Multiple responses - "I'm not saying it's rigged, but this also happened to me/a friend of mine"
Guy above - "Party is rigged because I quickly lost my first deposit."

When are people going to stop putting value on anecdotal evidence, and start beleiving the (lack of) statistical evidence.
Look, at least half the people here log every hand via PT. I'm sure many of them examined their data for patterns and/or statistically significant deviation from the random.
How many posts have you seen from people with actual data, saying site x is rigged?
Enough already
