Sites Rigged?

Think about it - why would sites want to rig??? They are making money hand-over-fist already with the rake. If it got out that sites were rigged, the entire industry would go bust, dude. You think the sites are willing to take that risk???

People/businesses have taken dumber risks before for the sake of increasing profits.

Whatever you are noticing on your tables is a function of a short number of hands witnessed and short-term memory. There are enough people playing large numbers of hands online that if there was something fishy, it would have long since fallen out.

But I agree. I think there would be more concrete evidence by now if they were rigged (at least if the bigger sites were rigged).

Not only are they rigged, but they are all rigged in my favor.

That's a great link. Thank you very much.

And I apologize for bringing up a subject that may have been beaten to death here. I've read stats before and knew that quads was pretty rare, but didn't have any idea how that translated to real time.

Since I'm not a match wiz, can anyone confirm is this looks right?-
chances of seeing quads by the river (with any hand) - 0.168%

So, to figure out how many hands played to the river should see quads, it would be .00168x=1 or x=1/.00168. So X=595

So, with 3 full tables of 27 and an average of (now I'm just guessing) say... 3 people seeing all five cards per hand (that might be generous) per table, playing 40 hands an hour- you would have 360 hands played out an hour. Therefore, unless I'm completely confused on how the math for this is done, one should expect to see quads at least once every 2 hours.

Am I computing this correctly?

Should I do another: "Another is it rigged post. But c'mon is it ?"

I think it would be less because "any hand" doesn't make it to the river every hand.

It depends.

Yahoo is salivating waiting for the time when online poker is legal in the U.S.

I know Party Poker is rigged. I'm a really, really bad player and I keep winning. I know they are just letting me win so they can later have their bots take all my money. Mike Sexton sends me subliminal messages if I sleep without my tin foil hat. Can someone make them stop??

While I don't believe that online poker sites are rigged (at least not the popular ones), if I had to choose one it would be RiverStars.

The frequency you observe is within normal expectation. See
