[b]I dont belive Online Poker is rigged....[/b]

But, for arguements sake, lets say a site did want to "rig" the game in order to produce a larger rake profit in ring games. 
 
Simply monitoring the number of times your dealt a specific hand (AA,KK,whatever) and then comparing that percentage to the actual statistical probability wouldnt show you anything. If I were the person(s) responsible for the "rigging", I wouldnt screw with something that would so easily be detectable. Think about it. Its like a magician doing tricks. While your looking here, hes doing it over there. 
 
I would be far more interested in a more telling statistic. How many times does the actual statistical favorite hold up? In other words, does the expected percentage match the actual percentage? Im sure that the poker tracking software can tell you, but the number of hands required to get a reliable percentage, at least in my eyes, would be over a million, for a single player. Ive read several articles that claim that the stats hold up, but have never actually seen the hard data. 
 
Ive seen some wierd things happen in online poker. But I dont think its because its rigged. I think its because its online poker and its to be expected. Factor in all the loose play, complete idiots, and radical number of hands played, and youll come to find that online poker is its own beast. Nothing controlled by computers will ever be as good as the real thing. Just ask all those porn addicts.:D
