Default Is online poker fair?

Does anyone know of an independent analysis of the various poker sites....specifically, the distribution of various hands, their win/loss rates, etc.?

What is your opinion regarding the legitimacy of online poker? Are some sites fair whiles others are corrupt?

This is more of a question that can be answered by posting in the internet forum or reading the archives.

It has been discussed more than most people really want it to be, but in general, sites are not rigged since they are certified by many randomizers. The sites also have no reason to unrandomize it.

All the online sites are rigged so that the fish suck out much more than they should so that the money just keep flowing around the table feeding the rake. I'd stay away.

Online poker is rigged, but I've been beating it for a few years now anyway because I'm soooooooooooo good.

The "Press Your Luck" poker website has some weird pattern-mapping flaws. Other than that -- and a personal problem I have with Royal Vegas Poker -- they all seem legitimate.

Oh, beware of CarrierPigeonPoker.net -- the birds tend to drop your nut flushes at inopportune times.

You should quit lil'. The game is rigged and you are bound to lose. Be thankful you have managed to win a few dollars but please quit playing. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
