Message: [QUOTE="4Aces, post: 746342, member: 17510"] +1 I don't know if its rigged or not, but I have doubts. I don't care how many time I get AA or KK or flop a flush. I want to know how many times my big hands are up against other big hands. The last two times Ive had Kings, they have been up against Aces BOTH times, pathetic. I'm also running 22 buyins below expectation, pathetic. The swings online are just INSANE. Anything can happen over [SIZE=4][B]ten thousand hands[/B][/SIZE][SIZE=2], bad players can win, good players can lose. I'm sorry but I cant see that happening live. If you get a good player and put him in a live casino, I think hes gonna win if he played 6 hours a day for 52 days (I estimated that's about 10K hands).[/SIZE] I know everyone is sick of donks saying poker is rigged because their aces got cracked or because someone hit a gutshot. I also think these people are idiots. I know bad beats are part of the game and I accept them, there not even bad beats to me, because they are supposed to happen. I wouldn't even call a 1 outer on the river on the bubble of a sng a bad beat. I actually lean towards online poker not being rigged. But I think the chance that it is, is a lot bigger than most people think. Just think about it, if it was rigged, don't you think these multi million $$ companies would rig it in a way that would be impossible to find out or at least really really hard. People often say that these huge sites would never risk their reputation and all there money, just to win a little extra. That's not a very good argument imo. Like Daniel Kimberg said in his book, "But we don't live in a completely rational world, and online poker would not be the first parties guilty of an incredibly stupid form of greed." I think that if the big sites could rig their games (which they obviously can) in order to win a little extra $$, and the chance that they got caught was slim, then they would rig them without thinking twice. The bottom line is, online poker MIGHT be rigged. No one can probably ever prove if it is or isn't, therefore I think the people who take the pi$$ out of people who think its rigged, are just as idiotic as the people who insist its rigged. The odds that it isn't rigged definetley out weigh the odds that it is rigged, but you cant be sure. The only real way you can find out if a site is rigged or not, is to get complete access into their machines and software. Since none of us will ever get that chance, I think we should just all STFU about online poker being rigged right now, it depresses everyone. :( [/QUOTE]
