Re: Legitimate Sites?
Another problem is what you define as a bad beat. Many people complain when they lose and their odds were 55-45 (I never win a race) or a variety of 60-40 situations. These aren't really that bad of beats, because over 1000 hands, the favorite is going to win only 100 (or 200 depending on situation above) more than the underdog. Even something like T9 offsuit is going to win about 191 times out of 1000 against AA, its just that many of those times, the T9o is going to be folded when it doesn't hit and you never see what he played, you only see what he played when the T9o hits. In general bad beats also seem more frequent online because of more hands seen.
Not sure why I felt like being helpful tonight, but enjoy.

Re: Legitimate Sites?
PokerStars' website is actually the only site that explains the potential pitfalls of attempting to create random numbers with computers and what they did to ensure their RNG is 100% random. They actually use a hardware device as an entropy source where party does not. While I think all of the big sites are legit, stars is easily the most legit and least likely to have a bad RNG implementation IMO.
If you're sick of losing AA to T9, then you: * Don't have a lot of poker experience * Don't understand that underdogs sometimes win * Don't understand short term variance * Don't understand where your edge (if it exists) comes from

If you can't do that, you definitely don't belong here.

Re: Legitimate Sites?
Why would you want to force T9 to fold?

Re: Legitimate Sites?
I have seen unusual stuff on all sites.
On Party 99 on a board of JJQQ called all-in vs KK to spike a 9 on the river. many others like this. On Stars AK v AA on a flop of AJ2 all in got runner-runner for royal flush. On Full Tilt (yesterday) I saw two all-ins on the flop with for example AK v JJ on a flop of A3T get runner-runner to make a straight. Why are these morons putting it in with JJ (do they know something I don't?) On UB, countless wins of for example A5s all in against QQ preflop and getting two fives. On Paradise, losing 15 times in a row with KQs in limit holdem. etc. etc. They either seem to be all rigged or not.
