Tell the truth

How many players on here who've played online for a good while have never doubted for one minute that it's legit. Never had any doubts at all. No matter how predictable it all seems, good or bad.

And remember to consider the fact of how much rakeback really softens the blow.

Two years ago when I first heard of online poker sites like Party, I doubted it because I'm a cynic. But now I have no doubts at all that it's legit. And what do you mean, specifically? Are you saying it's rigged, or are you saying some players, unbeknownst to the websites, are using bots? I think bots are possible, but I don't think the websites are being disingenuous about their security.

If it were rigged, why are they letting me win so much god-damned money.

Everytime I have a bad downswing I start thinking OMFG HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN!!! Then I remember that I've seen the same exact [censored] playing live.

Well if someone is rigging it they are doing a really bad job of it!

Yes it's true at first, but now I like online better. I can play a game within my bankroll and I can run out the cold spell of cards much faster.

i think its natural to question its legitimacy. you can never be sure about anything and that goes double for internet poker. even if youre winning boatloads of money you can never be sure that you werent supposed to be winning more.

i think it might be rigged, but does it really matter
how many hands other than low limit games see the showdown.
or how many flop bottom pair, and are bet off of it by a bluff. we all have probably bluffed having a flush, holding none of the suit, just trying to win, and it works
I think for it truely to be rigged it would have to have auto prompts that say call hes bluffing.

out of all i have played, it seems sometimes that KK might run into AA abit much to build rake on a 8 high board, but to sound very cliche, ive seen that on tv alot to

I've seriously never had any doubt about major sites. I started playing online at Stars and Party in late 2003.

I wouldn't play on a rinky dink site, but not because I think the play would be rigged, but because I'm worried they'd abscond with my money.
