online poker on the up and up?

ChipLeaderer · #1 05-13-2005, 02:08 AM

After being dealt bad beat after bad beat on sites like bodog and royal vegas(faces 5 flopped str8s in one heads up match and lost the first hand of another heads up match with 3 aces with a K against a full house aces full of deuces) I have come to the conclusion that online poker is not completely on the up and up. not saying it's rigged to support the other player, but more that it's juiced so as to induce action. does anyone have an alternate view on the subject?

Put on your flame proof suit, you're gunna need it.

huh? what does that mean?

Anyone who has been on bodog can relate to what I'm saying. You flop a str8 someone has 2 pair and makes a full house on the river. You fop a full house someone has 3 of a kind and loses their stack.

So sometimes it works to your advantage and sometimes it doesn't. still is kinda suspect. this isn;t like over 10K hands or something. I'm talking about action over 1-2 days. Doesn't anyone find that sh*t strange.

Your conclusion is based on insignificant evidence.

I am aware of no significant evidence of "action deals" or any other non-random deal characteristic that has ever been produced for any site.

Can we get a line in the FAQ on this (I don't really care what it says), so we can at least just "FAQ, next" when this garbage comes up?

At least post this trash in the Zoo (Internet Forum).

Also, if at all possible, just delete your thread/post/account/anything else you can.

Thanks in advance.

just surprised that people are like true believers and stuff. Would you like not even question this. HAve any of you actually played on these sites that I mention. Or is it just f'ing blind faith that your poker skill is all that it takes. what if it isn't. stop and think about that

Every week, someone makes this claim about some particular site. PokerStars is called RiverStars, Party Poker is run by the mob, etc, etc, etc ad nauseum.

It's poker. Unlucky [censored] happens, and people have selective memory over it.

Either publish an analysis which shows a non-random deal characteristic which is statistically significant, or kindly shut the hell up. Thanks.

A lot of these people have a bajillion hands logged on tracking software and ........ suprise suprise the distribution seems to follow exactly what it should be plus or minus normal variation.

First off this bullshit is not meant for this forum. Secondly I dont think it is meant for the Zoo either.

There has got to be about 10 posts a month claiming that poker sites are either rigged or deal action flops or a number of other bs. If you cant win at online poker and deal with badbeats then continue working for a living and quit playing poker. Leave the badbeats to the pros.
