Message: [QUOTE="LukeSilver, post: 2260333, member: 59099"] The fact is online poker is dying the traffic isn't what it used to be and now as more and more people catch on to the idea that they can make money from online poker rather then having to report to a boss and ask for time off when needed etc they can make more working online and take time off whenever. the fact is this doesn't end in Europe or rich western countries or at high even low stakes. sure for someone in the European or rich countries playing $1.50 sit and goes is not making a living. however in poorer countries $1.50 an hour is more then a competitive wage. and before you question how they can afford computers please note things cost a lot less in these countries and they don't need the latest models. so where am I going with all this? well the fact is you would think this would be good news for the sites but it isn't. there have been numerous rigged theories that make no sense, one such theory the logic for rejecting it is directly related to where I am going with this long post. the idea that the sites increase the frequency of big hands v big hands in order to get bigger pots and therefore more rake is absurd. This idea would work if we were all billionaires frequently reloading and continuing to play hand after hand, but the truth is most players do not stick to strict bankroll management, and once there roll is depleted they wont be back until at least there next pay check to deposit some, it would make far more sense for the sites to do just the opposite in order to generate rake over a prolonged period so that both accounts can be slowly drained. now my brother has been a professional player making a few k a month in the past and has some friends who make a lot more and they have been saying soon it wont be possible to make anything from online poker and there trying to make as much as possible before the bubble bursts. I think it may have already. The same thing seems to keep happening I go on a winning streak and am doing well then I hit the wall and its like a cliff dive down the graph, and I cant win with anything AA all in I am scared unless I hit a set or better with no runner runner draws for my oppenents. ak constaly loses to ace rag pairs lose to an over card and an under card and I can predict it every time. it is so constant that I seriously maintain if you were sitting next me id take bets against my hands. and this isn't a one of or a an occasional bad beat its consistent and holds up to scientifically verifiable methods. over long periods I break even until eventually I lose it and tilt off. so why would the sites do this? the answer is obvious if left to the natural flow of events fish who do not use bank roll management would bust pretty fast, and there not going to deposit until pay day, its like the big hands clashes the sites want to keep players in the game as long as possible. and for me or anyone else to be a consistent winner someone or some people have to be consistent loses which means they are not coming back. for a while it makes sense for the sites to keep them in the game as long as possible, and therefore the rng been programed to alter the odds against winners is definitely something in the sites interest. it prolongs the total playing time and therefore prolongs the rake. I keep track of who I play watching for regs do they try to outplay me are they adapting the overwhelming evidence is no im not been put in tough spots by them or finding anything weird going on. I mark people who call of light do I see them often|? no. so I am asking It makes sense to fix the games so that they last rather then so that skilled players can make a living, is it really implausible? let me ask you this how many of you are making a living from this how many of you are like me only slightly making a profit, until they tilt it off. how many are noticing the same experiences? think it through before you remain so close minded of it.
